New Song! - Slacker & Cracker Productions -- "Spruce it Up"

**helix eternal** · 09-23-2006, 01:01 PM

Hey everybody! I'm here with a new song that I wrote last night
And I would just adore some comments and criticisms. I think it's pretty good as it is, besides the kick drum being a little loud and some of the hi hat samples are meh. I'm working on fixing those...

But other than that, please tell me if you think there is any way I can make this better:

something about the piano.... bugs me... I dunno. It doesn't sound full enough to me.

Piano doesn't have enough reverb in the beggining. it sounds fin in the solo, but in the beggining, it sounds fake because of that. Also, I can barely hear your slap bass. What are you using for trumpet, btw?

Dang I was afraid the slap bass was going to be too loud (I was mixing on headphones...the cheap kind)
And I'm using Edirol Orchestral for the trumpet.

by the way this song is also in 5/4 time

Ok so like, try switching the slap bass with some sort of deep bass. I never really paid a lot of attention to the song but the slap bass screamed "AMATEUR" in my ears. But that's just my opinion. lol
