Description : Again a funky groovy tune. Brass is sampled and played midi. A friend played the organ (midi). I tried to play the guitar parts and played the Bass. This is the first true mixing attempt and I am still learning. Any hints, tricks, advises are more than welcome and appreciated. You can always drop a line if you seeking for a bass line by the way....

Hey man, very funky! Can you share the secret of the horns, where you got the samples? I need them for one of my tracks :D ("take off your coat")
I do feel there's something slightly weird in the melody you have them play; one note that seems a bit late and sticks out. Otherwise it's very smooth and funky!
Mixing wise: all instruments have a good volume; the balance left/right is generally good but the guitar really sticks out panned to the elft like the rest of the band didn't want him to sit with the rest (maybe he's smelly).
You can probably increase the master volume for Looperman; some streaming sites do this automagically but Looperman doesn't. In general some mastering wouldn't hurt; put a compressor on the master (and on the individual tracks of you haven't) plus saturator/limiter etc (EQ the individual tracks if you hadn't already done that). There's also plugins and even sites online that do it for you.
Good luck, as said it's very funky, and that's how I like it!
Hey BaoBou, drop me a message for those horns some of them are sampled and played with midi. However, I have a collection which I collected years ago they were free to use. the brass band as far as I know, who offered them doesn't exist any more. I tried to consider your advises and uploaded a new version. As I mentioned before I am fairly new to the technical issues of mixing /mastering and was more than happy to play "just" the bass for years. To me this is still a bit like rocket science, turning 50 makes it not easier. Really appreciated your advices, ear and comment. Grateful help! Drop a PM for those horn samples if you like I am more than happy to help you with this matter.

Description : Continuing my journey with sampling. This was mostly an accident, and not where I originally thought it would go but I'm happy with the destination. I started with the track Real Reel Switcher by Eunice Russ Frost, which has a slower melancholy swing to it, however I've been playing a bunch of older video games lately, with SSX being in the mix heavily, so this track ended up taking on a bit of that for inspiration as well. Would love your thoughts.

Description : Updated 12/2/2022. This is an interesting redo of a funky and fun composition. I gave it more polish by switching to a different drum kit, swapped the flute solo for a synth, then infused more flavor into the guitars, bass and organ. Then lastly tweaking the final master. Can you tell the difference? Let me know. Enjoy.

Thanks to everyone who contributed in explaining what I did wrong in the engineering, mixing and mastering, especially Ben (bringerofDOOM). Looperman is truly an awesome community and thank you all. Did I say you guys are awesome?
