Hi all,

This is my first attempt using Akai MPK Mini, Android tablet and Bandlab :) Nothing fancy, just a simple ost-ish 80s track. Hope you can enjoy.

Best,

that was cool, Adi. i think i would have enjoyed it more if it didnt come
over recorded so hot and compressed. pretty amazing how technology has
minimized the recording studio... soon people will have pinky ring DAWs
connected to their brains over bluetooth 500.2

The composition is very good. :tu:

I agree with Layzer regarding how compressed the track sounds. I think the drums are too loud. At 2:17, the bass seems distorted. Perhaps you have less control over the sound in an Android app?

Hi @layzer and @frantz, many thanks for the comment and feedback! Well, I used the mastering option from Bandlab, but it didn't work as expected :D I have updated the file on Souncloud without mastering from Bandlab, hopefully it sounds better.

@layzer, yes, I agree! :D Things are getting star trek-ish :hihi: well, my tablet has begun to reach its limit when I finished with the song (freeze several times), but it got the job done for some light music.

Best,

Yeah well, I like the track but as others said it still needs some work, sound is ok.

I really like this track.
I do however think it deserves some "real" studio time! :)

@excuse me please and @DanielPersson many thanks for listening. Indeed, I might just do that, there is only so much I can do using bandlab :) But it is an interesting experience, and quite fun :D

Kind regards,
Adi/Thedeadsoul
