Hi John, nice tune and mix, although at my end the bass sound a little hot. Otherwise enjoy the listen. Don't forget to list when you have a chance the RT's or other instruments used, (forum rules).

Hello John,

Well, all tracks come from BIAB, am I right ?
Personnaly, I would have prefered a personnal track from you, your voice, even a guitar solo, to make this song your own, to make this song human, because except the harmony, nothing comes from you !
If I'm wrong I apologize. smile
When I started composing on BIAB, I soon realised that it was a great software, great but "automated" without a personnal contribution from the composer.

Regards

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

John,
Nice changes in this piece. I agree the bass is too loud but the rest of the mix is very nice

Yeah, the bass might need a little compression or could be taken down a couple of db, as it peaked a few times, but nothing drastic. Of course this comes from someone who struggles mightily with getting the bass right:)

Nice tune. Very relaxed.
