Now I have put online a newer, hopefully better version of Malibu Mae(silly name, but I never come up with good ones for some reason). Comments still welcome and appreciated. Still not ready, but I will probably finish it at some later time.

This is my newest track.I mixed with my Grados as I don't have access to my monitors.I would welcome some comments. It is not ready but I felt a need to send something. There are 2 different choruses in it and the first one is accidentally a bit worse version of the chorus that I meant to put in. I am now in a place where I do not have access to a working computer but when I return I might put the other version online also to be listened to.

The mix sounds great to me...how you mix without monitors I have no idea. I would love to hear a vocal on this one. It would make a very nice pop song I would think.

That's a nice sound, reminds me of OMD in places. That top line synth melody gives it the feel of an instrumental version of a vocal - might be worth writing some lyrics for this, the melody is all there and strong enough.

Sounds good to me.
 
You've obviously been listening the Grados long enough to train your ears to them. Those cans are notoriously bright and lack bottom, which tends to result in muddy, boomy mixes. But this piece exhibits a well-balanced spectrum to my ear.
 
It's perhaps a little quieter at the lower and upper extremes than what's typical for the genre, but then I find most contemporary electronic music annoyingly overstated under 60 Hz and over 8KHz. For my grumpy old ears at least, you've found the sweet spot.

Thank you guys for the very nice comments and suggestions. I wish I knew someone who could sing this stuff but no such luck. I am glad that the mix sounds good, although I do not know why it is good. I do not know what OMD. I do not know how to make lyrics although I have only tried once. It was for a song that I meant to send to a song contest.

very enjoyable...nice mix...
 
what type of contest?

Thanks Tom. The contest was called Syksyn sävel and the songs that participated to it were easy listening type of music I think. There is lots of contest songs on Youtube if you are interested. The song contest was replaced by Popstars and then came Idols. I was not qualified to enter the contest as it was participate by invite. I forgot that rule, but I was not brave enough to enter any way. It was a silly dream that I would participate the contest.

 I do not know OMD.

 
Melodic '80's synth pop band. Started as 'Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark', but soon shortened it.

Thanks for the info James.

Human League + OMD move over we now have another synth pop artist contending.
 
Nice tune + well mixed - good job!
