Hello folks. I decided to do as Misha recommended and use a better quality streaming service. I've attempted to place the track on Bandlab and HOPE that I clicked the right buttons so that the place didn't do anything to it other than upload and set for streaming. the UK based M.E. did a fine job on the track, I think. He recommended a couple of tweaks before accepting the track, (address a slight wobble in levels early in, some probs with the timing of the hihats - needed to reduce the level of them as I couldn't do anything else in RealDrums), etc. Well, here's the mastered post your thoughts and the ME's work. https://www.bandlab.com/pygmybeat/algorithmic-reality-by-pygmy-beat-extended-28a956d0It's been suggested, elsewhere, that bandlab is also having a mash so here's a link to download if you'd care for a better quality listen...Download link https://we.tl/t-wyXD9IL0KZ Here's a, seemingly, better level on Soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/rayc/algorithmic-reality-by-pygmy-beat-ext-w-a-andrulonis-j-dodd-e-drabwell-misha-katya

Nicely done! This tune absolutely soars - I love how much energy it has, and the groove is fantastic. It's the kind of tune that really hits you in the chest, and has some amazing grit to it. I can imagine this sounding excellent in a live setting. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

It is a super big guitar sound, driving the track hard.
I often loss the vocal in that sound, which doesn't necessarily matter for this style, it likely would come out with repeated listens.
There is an occasional Moody-Blues-vibe that is quite cool.
Heavy.

Sounds huge!
The other link you posted at the bottom, to soundcloud, is that the identical file? Man, what a difference.
Excellent song as I said before with the unmastered version, love everything about it.

Ray,
I got to admit, I am a little confused. To me, Bandlab version is closer to the original (downloaded file), but soundcloud version has more clarity. I think all of the services use some sort of volume equalization. Probably comes down to personal preference. The tune is very nice regardless. It feels, you put a lot of effort into it. Thank you for sharing and for side by side comparison option!
Misha.

Great BIG sound - Bandlab sounds louder & more compressed on my `phones than SoundCloud.
This would be overpowering ( in a good way) live and cranked.

Loved the slightly dissonant harmony of the vocals relative to the instruments - added tension keeping the song very interesting. Liked the ad-lib FXs/spoken vocal at the end. Enjoyed the listen.

I'm with floyd jane her - the vocal seems low, but it's not really an issue in this style.
Big sound!

Excellent song as I said before with the unmastered version, love everything about it. Same question? Man, talk about filling up a room! Wow. The vocal level sounded good to us. I'm clueless as to how you can mix something like this and keep a great soundstage. I'd end up with a room full of mud. Excellent! Anthemic! J&B

Thanks folks,
YES all links are to the same file AND that file was/is a 24bit .wav!!!
Vocal levels are a personal taste thing I suppose &/or genre specific - on this I indulged my preference for lower levels in a genre taht requires the same. Personally I can hear them well but it may be because I know the lyrics and the problem with those lyrics is they're obtuse, obdurate and opaque.
THANK YOU ALL.
Cheers

Sounds huge - some nice heavy guitars and vocals.
Sounded better on headphones than speakers to me.

Hi Ray,
This is so different from anything that I write that I don't know where to begin!
The sound is immense and I love how you have the panning moving around from left to right and back again. Your production skills are outstanding!
Kudos to everyone involved with this. The final product must have brought some huge smiles to the collaborators!
Awesome work!
Noel
