Lost in the city - 3'00"

Definitely lost...

Cheers

Edit1 & 2 Re-mixed to improve hi-hat and lowering bass
Edit 3 : 3rd version and it's much better
Edit 4 : 4th version : fix bass rumble ?!

Kind of a fun, light vibe to it with good sound elements. I enjoyed it!

Mix wise I thought it was a little dull sounding, with the exception of the mix dominating hi hats. I'd have a look at the levels and eq.

Thanks polyslax, it should have been the exciter/enhancer in mastering stage that pull out the hi-hat.
I must pay attention to that

Thanks for listening

nice and smooth, but I completely agree with polyslax on the hihat issue. It will still give you the flow even if you turn it down very low in the mix. Lowering substantially will also bring forth the coolness of the keys and nice fx (currently in the background)
peace

I followed the useful advices I got here and I uploaded a new version.
I lowered hi-hats and cut 3 db on that noise bass
Not sure the bass level is Ok...

laguna my man, is there something wrong with my player, seems to be a rumble through it,
excuse if its supposed to be there, don't think so
some nice jazzy holiday type vibe there

I tried to fix all the bugs in the mix and re-uploaded it.
It's really weird but now it's closer to my original idea. Almost there.

I would recomend putting a low pass cut on the basslike noise. I like the vibe it creates, but if you could pass it to about 300khz to trim the hum off of it, I think the results would be just as pleasant, and the drum kick would be more responsive in the mix.
Am I making any sense?
anyway, I'm still enjoying the jazz of it.
peace

Oh, I see. That's a good advice.
Done !
I tried to do that but probably it's not enough... Anytime I change something in the mix, something else comes out or changes

I should let my ears rest for while.
Thanks for your useful suggestions

Cheers

I, of course, completely disagree with the LP idea.

I love the treble burbles of the low-end!

Everything about this song is enjoyable except that the hi-hat sounds cheap and is too loud. Tremendous chord movement and Carnival/carribean soloing, the bass undercurrents and metallic percussion lend a circus-like swing dance feel to it all. And heinously creative layering of elements that all pull together into a brilliant song. I'm really, really impressed!

Thanks a lot for listening Runagate.
I'm glad you like it. I lowered the hi-hat but probably it's not enough.
I'll pay more attention in the future.

Cheers

Sorry, Laguna, I meant low cut, not low pass. It was before my cup of coffee and i was uselessly tired. But it sounds like the mix has solidified in spite of my ignorance. Great work and I look forward to future mixes.

lost in the city......one with lots of palm trees,where nothing is TOO much of a problem,and getting lost just becomes an opportunity to get found again.

a happy tune,thanks.
