    The news voice is clear the sometimes. And it sounds good when that echo bounces off it at the end how it does sometimes. Like how you do it in All Over the World (I listened to your others to get a feel of what you're trying to accomplish with your music).But when some wave-like instrument plays on top of it, that instrument muddies it so that it is not clear. 

    This music would be a good backdrop for an educational video. I get bored with the long intro and long ending. It's so much sameness. Nothing is added to the intro for 48 seconds. But if this song accompanies a video, there may be a need for this long intro and ending.
     
    My music is like that. Most of it was written for a scene for a play. Or as background for a monologue. And it needs to be just that long, or just that soft an intro, or just that loud an interlude, etc. So yours may be the same way. But as a stand-alone song, the end and intro have too little happening to hold my attention.


    This song has some meaning to it that defies me. Does it have a double meaning? I take it you are warning us of the dangers of marijuana, but why then that strange change of mind from the newscaster?

    By the way, I enjoyed the musicality of your Popster

    Strange...When I tried to relisten to Mixed Out and Are Am I, (I was trying to find that other instance where you used a voice and trailed it with an echo) they wouldn't play. And once, Soundcloud was going to make me log in.

    Well, it is very nicely done but it took too long to develop for an "unfocused" guy like me.  They need to get me quickly.  Once I was into it it was fine, but, like a lot of this music it just doesn't change enough for me.  That is not a comment on your music but more a comment on my taste or musical preferences..  This is very well done and I like the way the vocal is treated.  I could see being at a dance club and all the lights flashing and the people moving, strobes, etc.  It is professionally done as far as I can tell.

    Thank You so much for you comments.. The Music is for Club music/Dance.. As a Dj, an old school dj that started on Turntables 20 years ago, I like to keep a solid beat for a min, Most dance tracks would be about 6min or longer, where as radio play music is 3:20  to 4 mins for the most part.. Mixing would be a disaster over a bunch of changes, although we have a loop button on modern mixing software today where we can find a groove and just loop it, and mix it flawlessly .. For the most part you never hear the first min of the song solo in a club. Its being mixed for at least a min. or 2. with another song or loop. 

    Peggy there is muddiness in the mix over some of the vocal, I still have to roll of some unwanted frequency.
     I had duped the vocal and added an Fx on it so Im suspecting the clashing is from the fx  Eqing is needed and monitoring in my head phone will be the last thing i do to hear how it sounds . My downfall is my room acoustics ,,,.. I do feel I need to add more life to the begining thought..  Thanks for comment they mean alot...
