Instrumental Cue "Road Trip Reflection"

Hello all,
This is an instrumental cue that makes use of Virharmonic's new Bohemian Violin.
Comments and critiques will be outrageously appreciated. It was written to be pitched to a music library.

And yes, that's a random song title, somewhat of an improvement over "Instrumental Cue 1-6-16." I title songs like Seven of Nine.

    I quite enjoyed that Art, all seems present, perhaps a little more weight in the kick as you are getting the click of the top end but I can hear little of it's substance, but that could be what you wanted.
     
    All in all a very pleasant track nicely presented thanks for sharing.

    Nice cue Art! The melody is excellent and emotive. Mix-wise, it does sound like a lot of the low end is missing. Maybe you used a HPF on the master? Other than that, this mix is great.

    Thank you both for the feedback! The light low end was something I was struggling with, I can't quite come up with a bass sound that satisfies me. I'll also go back and do a little drum tweaking.

    The violin sounds nice!    Very expressive (go figure) with a melody to match. 
     
    The overall mix sounds good here.    Perhaps try an acoustic bass sound for something different?

    Maybe you brought the bass up, I think it's doing what it's supposed to. Very pleasant and musical.
     
    Cue the profits!
     
    cheers,
