Love the jazzy piano and trumpet you have there! I'd put some chords in the intro too , just to make an intro in the 'jazz mood'. IMO the some of the little hihat samples are panned a little to far, i'd keep them more centered. And It's best to keep the bassline centered aswel
Thanks Mentor. Funnily enough I could not get the steppy bass bit to cut through the mix and I was tearing my hair out. I ended up duplicating the channel twice, hard panned one left, one right and kept one bang centre and it sounded so much better so I hard panned left and right all the bass bits... lol I thought the overall effect would be central, and that's how it sounded to me but obviously not as you picked up on it
hello dan. interesting track, lots of good drums work, and the sub is superb.
I suggest to bring the piano and trumpet instruments a bit closer, sound too far away for me.
maybe changed distance within parts of the track would create some interesting movement?
I agree, the drums should be more central as they always should be (max impact).
but for this kind of music I think you could keep them a bit panned, enhances the relaxed atmo ..
just some thoughts ... good track!
no worries dan, i also often like a good pan in my drums or overall mix, and often it sounds great when with headphones.
in the end, it depends what kind of track u r on to ... these days i tend to keep drums central, mostly sounds better than panned ..
