This is a track I was working on for an upcoming album, but I'm not sure it will wind up on it.

Listen on Soundcloud.com

Vocals by my wife.

Any mixing ideas or constructive criticism welcome.

Thank you sir! The response on soundcloud has made me think it probably belongs on the album.

Probably needs a bit more bass...

fun track

couldve used a bit more nuances though, everything is pretty much in the foreground i feel
those squeeky bleep bloop thingys that come in at 0:53 (and become very apparent at 1:00) in for example could be a bit more silent just a bit i think, same with drums at 2:50, etc

well im checking the track on low price range sennheiser headphones so u know, maybe it stomps everything hi-midrange a bit more to the front...

Thanks for the feedback! I agree about stuff being too far in the foreground, I'll play with the mixing a bit more...

It is a very nice and catchy, and very sunny, track, but I feel it doesn´t flow that well for me. It feels a bit too much like they are just different parts put together, I mean I can feel each part seperately and can´t hear it much as a whole piece. If you get what I´m saying.
I just feel it´s missing one thing (what it is I´m not sure though) that ties it all together.
Other than that nice track ;)

Cheers Hermann, thanks for the feedback. The transition to the darker section makes sense in my head but I can see how it could feel disjointed. I always like having more than one mood or feeling in a track, but sometimes they don't fit snugly enough.
