im not really into all that stuff at the mo. I have a wav editor for editing and for mixing I use a software I wrote myself, Beatz Maker Evolution. If its worth while then il look into more professional tools and software, but at the moment Im just doing this in my spare time as it not exactly financially rewarding at present. The way I see it, its hard to break into the music industry without good backing or financial aid

thanks. maybe you can supply a better scrath sample. the one was found after listneing to several different sample on this site

ok. the flute sample was main part of song, based on some hip hop tracks ive listened to, But it has a fade in, a variation which leads to the chorus and also the chorus had a different flute sample used which gives a break from tht loop.

The original song the vocals were not so loud and the flute sample was more prominent. But the mastered version definitely has more louder and sharper vocals, which im happy with.

Before the final mix was mastered it was heard alot of people and about 6 different sound engineers who all said it was fine, except a few things which were changed before the mastering. For example the "yesterday" vocal at the start and near the end was off beat and was corrected. The chorus vocals were also a bit off beat and this was fixed.

maybe at some point i will do another mix, based on new feedback! But for time being most peeps seem to be happy with the mix.

Thanks. Ive uploaded a 'cleaner' version have a listen its definitely an improvement

im loving the good feedback on here. I also realised it was the new bass line that was distorting the vocals. il remove or change it.

what part is distorted, the vocals, bass or fllute sample?

In terms of taking seriously, really? How many recent song can you take seriously? For me if it sounds good, il be playing it.

I havent ventured into the realm of professional music mastering, so if you or anyone else can do this, you could really help out

Im glad you like the new track. Can i ask your honest opinion. Do you think the chorus vocals fit in with the rest of the song. I was thinking of changing them, but no ones said it sounds bad yet, so just asking

ive listened to your tracks and they are good quality, so your positive feedback is really special. Thanks!

made a video on youtube if you want to share it
