<div>Hi Chris , </div>
<div>first of all thank you to take the time to listen to my songs ...</div>
<div>About the first trip, you are totally right there is too much bass freq, I think also that my bass sound is a bit too loud, my challenge is as usual "mixing" and i m not very good in this ... </div>
<div>But i will try to change some stuff , and also put the voices louder ( my problem is in the end of the song after the calm part, I want a big boom coming back ... but it doesn t sound the way i want and i must be agree with you again it sounds really muddy .)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>btw i don t know "<font color="#1f497d" size="3"> <font size="2">Arthur Baker vocals on Klaus Schulze</font> ".. </font></div>
<div>I will check it later ...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For the second song ,I m glad if you like it a lot :D,</div>
<div> I really liked to work with my friend and also add some scratching brings another dimension I guess ,,, </div>
<div>for what you said , i will try to bright it a bit and put away the flat sounding ... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>To be sincere, for these two songs is still a challenge for me to try to make it sounds ok ...</div>
<div> ko will be better heheh :) </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will let the music-bar know sasp (I wish to know when is our deadline ? ) ... </div>
<div>Anyhow, does anyone will do the mastering of music-bar ' CD for this year (if we do it?) ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Well all in all Chris </div>
<div>thank you again for your critics and advices it s much appreciated as always:) </div>

<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">“Trip” is thick and dark but I find is missing some high frequency energy and brightness making it sound “shut in” and muddy. Maybe roll off some bass too? The vocals need to come up a lot more though. It reminded me of “Richard Wahnfried” the Arthur Baker vocals on Klaus Schulze tracks from the early 80!</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Eye Flowers needs the vocals up a lot more too. Perhaps it’s more compression on the vocals - you will always need loads! - that’s needed as you have a reasonable dynamic range with your vocal style. This is a very interesting song and I like it a lot. Needs brightening up again as it’s a little flat sounding. This is probably best done at the mastering stage though.</span></p>
