Nice and clean. Like the sounds a lot. Not crazy about the vocals. In the beginning I could recognize the use of the dblue Glitch vst. Wish I couldn’t recognize the tool used just by listening to the track. Excellent master quality.

Yes this has a great edgy feel and I must say I think the vox is a good choice.
Only thing that got to me was the snare hit. To me it sounded too intrusive against the other sounds and took away from the overall feeling. I’d like to hear the track without the snare or maybe go the other way and drench it in reverb and stereo delay it left to right. OK after sorting that out I’m now off to solve the global economic crisis!! |

Hey RT, thanks for the comments. You’ve mentioned verby snare’s before, so clearly that’s a sound you like. I think the snare suits the short sharp rhythm (though maybe its a tad high in the mix). Always great to see how we interpret musical elements. Also appreciate the honesty. Ta Ta

I’m in Morgantj’s camp regarding the choice of vocals - I think you have a very strong instrumental track here, but the vocals don’t bring out the best of it.
Separate upload of the instrumental track, please? |

Hey Colab, regarding the vocal, I actually do agree. As I was writing this, even my wife mentioned that vocals sound odd. Not that they don’t fit, just that maybe another pella would add greater value to the mix than this one does.
In this instance, the backing track came first, so a pella (any pella) needed to fit. This one was the best match. The track took just a couple of hours too, so I’m a little on the lazy side and wouldn’t really want to go through changing the tempo just to fit another vocal (becomes a bit to much like work then ;-) |

Perhaps you changed the vocals and/or snare, but this sounds very fine to me.

some great edgy electro-funk grooved get down thingy here. the mix is perfect for a packed room full of drip fans. (the synth outro is classic!).

Cool electro track!
I like especially the heavy guitar riffs at the beginning of the chorus. I would say “You_ve got the power!” ;-) |

Hey Scott. Nice mix. Shades of Axel F in there and cool choice of retro sounds. Sounds polished as always.

surprising how the whole song through never got bored once, that takes talent ! Also want to say i read some other reviews about a snare this and that, and its 100% fine, blends perfect. I am going to use this song as inspiration. And yes, so far you are the best mix artist on the site i have come across, great work on the song.
