I'd like to hear at least a couple of bars of the outro before the fade, which eats into the last chorus at the moment.

<br class="">
Here a song that made in the end of last year.<br class="">
<br class="">
I must thanks Joost for giving me small feedback before to send the song here, Thanks dude ! <br class="">
<br class="">
The song has a simple structure : Intro - Versus - Chorus - Versus - Chorus - End<br class="">
It is not too long and it is not too short (2 min 47)<br class="">
<br class="">
I spent quite some time to mix and master the song all by myself, and I think it translates quite ok to different monitors :) <br class="">
However, I am curious to know what you think about it eg : if the voices are to loud, or if there are some freq (Low, Low Mid, Mid, Hi Mid, Hi Freq) bothering you, if it s distorted / saturated too much etc … <br class="">
<br class="">
Gears used : <br class="">
<br class="">
Logic Pro Synth : Alchemy, ES E, Sculpture, Drums<br class="">
Yamaha Ex5<br class="">
Guitar (Rocktron Chameleon)<br class="">
Bass <br class="">
