Ok, this is my third track this month (yawn)

But besides the usual I look for (comments, crits etc), I will take this opportunity to wish all on the cakewalk forums a very special happy xmas this year! Stay safe and remember its all about the family, no.1!

Let me know if I can improve this;

Good Times

Cian

 ...and the same to you!

 the only improvement I could think of is that you should have gotten some airplay with that tune. Or is it already blasting up and down all irish radiostations? It sounds like it could.. ; )

all the best

I don't know how you'd improve this...I love it just as it is. I agree with Noisy's comment. 

What a fun tune - so well done - all is good. Merry Christmas.

Well, 3 in one month is impressive... I have to work pretty hard to crank out "one" in a month. Some pretty cool synths here gluing this together with the bottom end. Good job, and Merry Christmas :-)

I agree... This is as good as anything I've heard on this forum...
I don't know how it could be any better...

Agree with Frank...awesome job Cian. The only thing I might do differently mix wise (all the performances are spot on) is maybe have less instruments in the center pan field. It sounds a little too mono at times to me and could use a little more stereo enhancement on a few things. Like your verb and delay on the vox would sound much better in my opinion if stereo verb/delay were used instead of mono.

Some of the drums can benefit from panning a bit more. No hard pans, just enough to get some of the things out of that center pan field, know what I mean? But other than that, I'd not touch a thing. Another fantastic delivery from you...well done man! :)

Fun song, Have a great Christmas

Thanks all for your comments on this fun tune and I'm happy with the mix comments, there is alot going on and it turned out pretty pro, albeit Ive really squashed this track more so than any other track. Danny I'm surprised you hadnt more crits on the mix actually which even impressed me more. a stereo reverb actually is something I never use or never even think of, cool and thanks for the advice on the panning to.

But to be honest, Im still not happy with the track as a song. To hell with production anymore, its all about the song and the personality and character shining through to make it interesting. Although this, if I say myself is a catchy and well put together tune, it aint gonna go anywhere and I think the more I "overproduce" my tunes the more goodness I take out of it. My friends dont really put much pass on these kind of tunes, they seem to take a lot more interest in me playing live acoustic stuff. I reckon with these type of songs either get someone else to produce them or keep it simple and organic.

Besides one more tune soon, which is hiphopish synthy, Im going raw and acoustic more for 2013, that it!

Cian

wow... glad I dropped in on this. 

Nice production and chops... Enjoyable song.
