Sounding really good.
You really worked hard on this track.
Yay!

But something's missing.
It's like this track needs, a little something extra, to make it sound even more cooler.
But I don't know what it could be.
Maybe it needs a few more background effects?
Or extra synth background sounds?
I have no idea. :geek:
What could it be, what could it be? :)

Ahhh.
I just listened to your House track again.
And I noticed that a nice Hihat sound is missing.

If you listen to alot of the old house tracks, you might always hear, a Hihat type sound.
I have always noticed that it keeps the music going and makes it sound fast, or faster than it is.
I suggest a Hihat sound, that is not too short.
You can use a reverb on that hihat sound, to spread it out more too.
And lower the volume a bit if you want.
It doesn't have to be too loud.

Thank you :)

Your feedback proofs to me mostly one thing. I (maybe us both) need studio monitors. ( can somebody sponsor us ? :P )

I would like like to ask others to comment on the hi hats too,

Now why am I asking this ?

Previous versions of my track had much louder hi hats. So there is a hi hat track, its not missing so to say, but ...

What happened over time, is me lowering and lowering even further the volume of the hi hats.
Right now they are at least on my headset, just audible.

I might have overdone it.

I have been listening, and I am trying to use a different hi hat. No success yet.

I think I have found the problem. I use easy Q to boost the high end.
This works fine for the piano, but not for that hi hat. Its over kill for the hi hat. That's why I kept lowering the volume.

I like the final version. It's very improved. I also like the variation.

Though the snare is very difficult to hear. The percussion is a bit quiet.

Hmmm,..............interesting observation. :geek:
I had to raise up the volume on my speakers to investigate this.

I just listened to this track twice.
Okay, Leche might have a point there.
Maybe the percussion and snare, could be a tiney tad harder.
Just a tiney tiny bit harder or possibly louder, but not too much though. Heh. :)
