That is very smooth, gentle funk.
The only things that stood out to me were:
that some of the quieter bass notes were lost occasionally.
A bit of compression to sort out those levels would probably do the trick.
& the swirling synth became a little distracting after a while. The high end of it may cause a little hearing fatigue.
Nice stuff though.
Cheers

Nice start to the year Mike!
Really liked the soprano...
Good choice of RT's and mix also.

I agree with Ray about the bass and that swirling synth. When it came in I thought that is cool but after about the 10th time it got a little irritating.
But I did enjoy this jazzy funk ditty!
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Very enjoyable funky backing with the sax taking the starring role for me.
The swirling synth is an unusual sound that took my attention away from other instruments.

Pleasant listen. And it's nice to hear the soprano sax - it doesn't get enough love!

Thank you guys for the comments and tips. I'll try to have a second version replacing the synth with something else and maybe changing the bass track or applying some compression to it like suggested by ray.
Thanks for listening
Mike B.

I agree with all the other comments, but this one deserves a special wink. Can't wait to hear the remake without the swirls, and MORE BASS. Whenever onstage and someone yells up to me, I always nod as if I heard them, and say, "Got it. More bass."

Hi Mike,
This is such a smooth listen!
I love that soprano sax. It's not a Realtrack that we hear very often but it certainly brings class to your composition.
I enjoyed my journey.
Regards,
Noel
