Bass Thumper, I think your track has great potential. While I agree with some of the comments I think you're absolutely right that a lot of it comes down to taste and preference. An example is that Ezekiel's Storm wrote that the piano could have come down a hair, but I feel the opposite. I'd like to have seen more gain, particularly on the sax solo as solos should stand out. Even in a laid-back track like yours more gain adds feeling. I've so far only posted 4 or my instrumentals but in all of them everything stands out, even in my more 'laid-back' compositions like the recently posted "Loving You". Like you, I also like longer tracks, vocal or instrumental, but that's definitely preference. My priorities are composition, arrangement and getting the mixes right. Thanks for the feedback WaoBand. The funny thing I find about music is that although there is a lot of personal taste involved, for the vast, vast majority of us there are "boundaries" and "rules". And if we cross those boundaries few, if any of the us (including the general public) will like it. I may not understand all the rules but there are reasons why Mozart and others from long ago are still popular today. It's neat that us humans have that common "glue".

Cool, Steve. Fun groove and you develpped well. I don't hear the piano left hand and your playing conflicting as Ray mentioned, but his ears are a hundred times better than mine. I really like what you added with Krog, too. Cool solos, and, man, your bass sounds really really good. Excellent timing and tone. Much enjoyed.

{Our son and I are going to see the Wooten Brothers on the 12th.} Many thanks for the listen and feedback Marty. And thanks to folks here, I'm slowly making progress on my bass tone . . . so much to learn, so little time.

BT,
Good effort, a lot of detail that came together well painting a single picture. Nice bass playing. Clear mix.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S. I assume you explored Shots, Rests, Holds and Pushes in BIAB?

P.S. I assume you explored Shots, Rests, Holds and Pushes in BIAB? Hi Misha, Thanks for the listen and feedback. I did explore Rests in BiaB thanks to the help from Deb and Dan. And I think my rests in this song worked out pretty well. I haven't looked at Shots, Holds or Pushes yet because the need hasn't yet risen. But if you use any of these devices in future songs you share, do point them out when you post so folks like me can better learn what they are and how to use them.

HaHa, "boys in the box"; I never heard that phrase, very clever. Truth be told, it's often difficult for me to keep up and blend with those boys, but it's sure fun trying

Aw yeah! That's what I'm talking about. This is one groovy song. I dig it soul brother!! Just one question. Has anyone ever told you you're a HOOT? . . . . I'm guessing yes Thanks for the listen. Feedback from seasoned muscians like yourself means a lot. PS> Every time I see your name I remember your Circle of 5ths song, I wish I was half as creative.

Hi Bass Thumping man Here's some feedback for you. Technical feedback: - Nice mix, a bit busy at times but still good.
Artistic feedback: - Expected you to slap the bass, but even without slapping the bass part is what I like most.
- I love the saxophone, but not the trumpet. It sounds a little dull.
- Needs a singer

Many thanks for the technical feedback. If I could slap I would but that's not yet part of my skills matrix . . . hopefully someday. Yep, now that you mention it the trumpet is a bit dull. If I ever do a remix I'll play an octave higher or choose something brighter in tone. Singing is in the same category as slapping for me; care to write some lyrics and sing on this ?
