I like a lot of things about this song.  The synth sounds are just right for this, and the drums sound good, as well.  The chord progression is out of the ordinary which held my attention throughout.  However, I just could not hear the bass in this except for the bass drum.  I feel this needs more low end to be complete.  Otherwise, this is a winner.

 Thanks for taking time out for a second listen and thanks for your comments and suggestion on the bass track .
I might have to find another bass sound that will stand out a bit more , I did switch out the bass synth sound the second time around and I also have compression added to that track too .
I might have to monkey around with that part of it and see what I can do to get a better bass sound .
 
Thanks Buddy !

Just a suggestion, but you might layer a bass sound with a sharp attack over one with less of an attack.  I think it would help to hear the initial attack to counter the bass drum.  I would also pan the bass drum away from the bass synth like an 11 o'clock-1 o'clock spread.  Hope this helps.

Sounds good James. I get a 'Japan' vibe from it (the band, not the country), I could imagine David Sylvian singing over this.

Hey James
GREAT tune! Percussion work is stellar. +1 on the 'Japan' vibe.

Good job radio!  Drums sound great and I like the instruments.  I'm with Lynn on the bass.  I like the creativity.

 There is so much rumbling on my headphones I can barely get past it.
 
Yea it does sort sound that way in the Bass track , it is most likey the Bass synth sound I picked out or the panning . Maybe I will switch it out again and see if that helps any , thanks James !

Hi radio, 

I like it but it is really booming.  If the bass was on the first floor, the kick is on 10 levels below!  Maybe less around 30-50 hz on the kick and more on 80-120 for the bass.  Bass still seems light but the kick is boom box.  I really like your piece.  Good going and sticking with it.

Maybe a bit of rumble.  I'm on the monitors but am going to the headphones.  Do you have a bass guitar?  I'm not hearing the electronic melodies as prominently as I usually do in your music.  This is on its way though.

Lynn


Take a bow.  The bass is tamer this time yet supports the other instruments.  So much has to do with the different ways we listen to all these mp3s, doesn't it?  Regardless, good song.  BTW, did you use Rapture?

Thanks Lynn yea I used a Bass synth from my Rapture 8.5 , I should had use something from either Dimension  or Dimension  LE . Anyway I'm working on a new pet music project now for myself and my MP3 player , excerise electronic music pump me up lose the pounds music !

Hey James.  You must have fixed the problem because it all sounds good to me, and that is even on this cheap laptop that I am borrowing.
Nice work!
