Bass is not bad here, but it is a tad cold and Grant's advice is sound IMO. If you warm it up, the bass will follow suit on its own I think. I enjoyed it, but too short. I want like... 2 more minutes please?

Hey !

I wonder if the lack of bass is more to do with the arrangement to be honest. I have the bass notes playing on only the 1st beat of the bar,which is kinda  unusual. I might have a go at writing another bass line today,see what happens.

Thanks for your crits and tips !! :)

Good track that would make a great TV or movie theme imo.  I kept imagining cars crashing for some reason.

I also concur with Grant and Shad on the mix issues and i can recognise them because i often have the same issues myself.  That said, the overall mastering had sort of rounded off the hard edges most of the time.

Good one.

Hi !
 Ok so from what I make out by yours and others comments,it sounds like the mix could do with a little more work.LOL tracks.....when are they ever finished ?!?! Back to the drawing board today then :)
Glad u digged the vibe of the piece anyway :) 

I listened through my cans and I think it all sounds really good.  The bass part is just too soft.  The rest of the mix sounds spot on for this style of music.  I really like your creativity with the melodic lines.  It does bring out a little playful sinister (what's the right word for that?) quality!  

Good job.

Hey Kev . . .
Loved it!   This kind of arrangement is what I like to call . . . everything but the kitchen sink.  You brought acoustic, electric, synth, percussion and on and on and on and turned it into a great little piece of music.  Mix doesn't sound bad on my end.  I do hear what the others are saying but only on certain instruments.  If it were my piece I would correct the mix but, not during the mastering stage.  I'm no expert . . . as we all know but I can hear sections that warmth or low/mid end, could be added.  Especially in your synths and string/orchestration sections.  I really enjoyed this as I do all of your music.  KUDOS!

Sounds really good!  Really a huge sound.  I like the industrial vibe.  Nice collection of different textures - kind of grungy industrial percussion all the way to orchestral strings.  Very cool!

I loved listening to this.  I was left with wanting more.  A little more bass would do wonders, but not too much.  It would help balance the strings out.

really cool. i like how playful everything is while being kind of mysterious at the same time AND has a good driving beat. definitely different and unique. it could use some kind of warmth in the mix but otherwise its a nice track.

I'm on my studio monitors where I can hear bass when I don't so much in the earphones.  I really didn't hear much bass.  Just my observation.  As far as everything else it was very nicely mixed, Kev1s.  I liked the song , too.

Sorry for the late reply. Glad u digged the arrangement ! It was really fun to make :) I think ure right,its better to fix the mix,rather than trying to fix the problems at the mastering stage. Ive been working on another piece so I got sidetracked abit,but I will come back to this mix at some point.
Hey,and thanks for the complement :)
