I loved the stops, they provide some nice tension. The vocal treatment and placement felt good. Some nice action going on in the stereo domain.
This is a difficult song because it was 16bit and pretty lifeless in the multi, if I recall. Any further compression increases the risks of an even greater loss of dynamic and energy which I'm sensing here when loudness matching to iTune MFiT specs.
The bass guitar was a handful. It's worth an overdub really. I might plug in the e-cello one winter's day and see what this brings. Anyhow, one challenge is to make the bass translate over small speakers, especially as it's an essential driving element (the kick is working well though!). If you could work the mid range somehow, this would help it bring some push and shove. I think the mid range was missing from the track in the multi and I can't remember what I did with it now. I might have reamped it and put a tonne of distortion on another track for blend? Not sure.
There's a synth part which comes in immediately after the first stop at 0:36. It's a little lost here and would benefit from a bit more drama, especially after this stop. Make it pop more, I'd say. You could also go the opposite way and make it big but distant? Think "Drama"
Creative. I respect your willingness to explore, not everyone can do that.
Thank you so much for the comment. So, I need to make the following changes:
1. Introduction
2. The sound of the bass
3. Episode after stopping at 0:36 (synthesizer)
Of course, I missed these details, thinking more about the global concept. It always happens: when you look far ahead, you don’t notice what is happening under your very feet. This happens to me often.
Thanks again for the comment. The work will continue.
