Here is the third installment of my upcoming compilation CD.  I posted this song about a year ago, took your suggestions, remixed, and then tabled this song until recently.  Since I posted this last, I've added a pair of KRK Rokit 8s and a Focusrite VRM box to my mixing environment which I used extensively in this latest mix.  Hopefully, my mixes will translate better over different listening devices than before, but it's up to you all to tell me if this is so.  Your help is always invaluable to me.  I want to thank you all in advance for your time and trouble.

Remixed on 4/30

On 5/5, I received a remastered version of this song (Lucky Star V2.1) from JamesYoYo which can be found here: http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=12308225&q=hi

I appreciate very much his interest and involvement in this project, and I leave both versions for your perusal.  Thanks again for all the help.

Lynn, I really like the song and the arrangement.  I listened on phones and monitors and over here it seems to be lacking bottom end.  I can never explain exactly what I mean but the bass seems very trebly.  Now, that might be what you are looking for.  Nice tune!  If what I'm hearing is the kick, it too is very trebly.  I would wait till someone else comments because my ears are acting up lately, or my judgement!  :-)

Lynn,
 
I remembered liking this song more when you posted it before and thinking it had more of a Peter Gabriel vibe than V2.   Luckily, you left the original Lucky Star on your music page and I went back and listened to it.   The original seems to have a more natural rhythmic interplay going in the percussion section and the bass, whereas the V2 version seems to be more mechanical or MIDI sounding.    That cool interplay of v1 seems to be missing to my ears.    Definitely a really good song but I liked the original version best.
 
Regards

I don't remember the song. I like the song. It is unique.

I have to echo the bottom end comment. I like the ending!

Nice!!!

Well, I agree with you about the low end.  Mark, thanks for pointing out to me the original version was still there.  I'd forgotten that I left it on SC, and it was helpful in my remix.  Warren and Robert, I went back and put more low end into the mix to get it closer to the original mix.  I'm still  feeling out this new monitor system of mine, and your feedback helps.  The new version is up, now, and I hope it sounds better to your ears.  Thanks for your time and help.

Lynn, Very nice song. What I heard on my pro headsets is in the beginning the vocals started out kind of dry and could use some stereo imaging throughout the song, not a lot, but some. The drums could use some dynamic expansion and the over all mix could use a touch of Harmonic excitement. Once you have all that done finish it with a limiter, making sure the vocals stay up front and are nice and clear. This is just my opinion, but it is a nice song, just needs some tweaking so it stands out.

Peace and blessings, John
