Hi,

Wow!!!! An excellent start to 2020.

You've put a HUGE effort into creating this fine piece of music.

It sounds like a tonne of hours has gone into arranging and producing the elements contained within this work.

The sax is such a great sound as it plays against this hypnotic backing that you've created. Right now, I'm sitting here typing and I'm trying to recall a piece of music that has the sax travelling back and forth across the stereo fields like this. For the life of me, I cannot think of anything. Initially, this sine-wave panning of the sax took be by surprise but when I settled more into the song, I thought that it was a good choice and it fitted well with the genre of the production.

All the best with your next 2020 production,
Noel

Thanks, dear Noel, for your comments.

There is, next to a limiter that flattened the peaks, a phaser on the saxophone which created the beautiful panning experience.

The creation of this track was done in one session of about 14 hours.

I hope to create many more beautiful songs in the future!

Stay tuned.

Really nicely done - if flows super smoothly, and I found it nicely catchy. Easy on the ears, and the sax fit the tune perfectly.

Great work and thanks for sharing smile

What an enjoyable and inventive composition!

I especially like the part that comes in at around 4:30.

I am looking forward to your next music post.

It's a big, loud, but muddy and over processed sound to my ears.
Things get particularly hairy in the audio when the sax strikes up.
Limiting and compression can do that as well as the EQing which seems to have sliced through the mix to remove any sparkle or top end.
What's going on is good but without a top note melody or dynamics it's all a little overwhelming.


Cheers

Thank you, Ezekiel's Storm, for your comments.

Dear RayC, thank you for your criticism. The track does sound a little muddy when played on Soundcloud, they use a very fast and low quality bitrate mp3 encoding for online playback, it does not sound as optimal as the .flac download from my website or Soundcloud, which sounds better. The low mid in the synthesizer string does make the song full of presence, just at the right level on my headphones and monitor speakers, the bass guitar track is heavy in bass. Removing (some) bass from the bass or low mid from the synthesizer strings would remove the *presence, feeling* of the song and make it sound (more) static, less like a warm lovesong. There is some low pass filtering on the synthesizer parts, which opens up slowly from the start, giving more high tones added later in the song. The bass guitar has analog low pass filtering with some filter drive, which may have added a little mud, it also gave a more full driving and present bass sound. The drum tracks, saxophone, guitar, electric piano, have their highest tones mostly intact, I even upped the high tones on the bossa drum track a little. There was no removal of high tones on the master track, there only is a little less low mid set in the (master) compression. I hope listening to the downloadable .flac will give you a better quality playback.
