Requesting feedback on "Because"

Nice stuff!

Good points worth special mention:

- playing is top notch, real nice.

- great vibe.

- sound quality is crystal clear, wish I could get mine that good.

My only (not negative, lets say "critical") comments are that the panning separation of the instruments is jarring at times (although sometimes it works). You may want to either pan them a bit more to the center (while keeping the essential left/right separation of the instruments). One other way to solve this, and something I think would add to the sound, would be to leave the current panning and add something with a deeper end sound droning throughout the song (like the sitar but deeper and without stop) that is placed center in the mix.

Overall not really much negative to say. This is a great little piece in the genere that is in. Good work.

May the Lord forgive me for saying it, but a digiridoo would be a great foundation for most of this song and might tie the wide panning back a little bit to the center. Actually, left is fine, right is a little out of bounds.

First, it should be noted that a digiridoo played properly, and with the right song and instrumentation, can provide an awesome foundation. In every other situation, it drives me absolutely bonkers. (My apologies to the digiridoo players.)

The issue with the song in my opinion is not too much space, it's too much empty space. The digi "drone" would fill a low-to-low-mid space that would tie the wide panned sitar and guitar (both mid-to-high spectrum) together. The drone would accentuate the twang of the sitar, and yet provide a foundation that everything could sit on. Now, a really good digiridoo player is best, but with a random flanger, the right pad, and a spash of reverb you can emulate the digi sound pretty convincingly (except to a digi player). The point is that it doesn't have to be loud, it just has to be the jello in the sonic spectrum in the mid-to-low range, panned center - like a bass - and back just far enough to make people think "what exactly was that?".
