I am afraid there is a problem with the recording. Way too much compression. When the drums and bass kick in it becomes unlistenable. It should be an easy fix to a fine song. Tom

Muzic Trax Veteran Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 5,077 California	Great melody, lyric and structure. The overall mix is off to my ears? Seems like the compression is a little on the hot side and the panning of the instruments seem hard L/R? Maybe that was on purpose and we all like our instruments panned the way WE want to hear them in a mix. This one is worth a lil more work on those two things, IMO. Great song though and I am jealous of how people can put pen to heart things Trax ps: You can check your balance by playing your mixes through a car radio or boombox as well. If they sound great in those, they will sound great as MP3/WMA etc. Last edited by Muzic Trax; 03/24/17 01:39 PM.

Very nice!! I'm listening on cheap computer speakers but Tom and Floyd have great ears so you can count on their feedback. Nicely done! Take care. Greg
