Hey guys,

Just wanted to say thank you so much for the feedback! Noticed some mistakes with it, so I'll edit that in due course. Mainly some digital clipping (due to buffer being too low), and eqing, as it comes across a bit muffled when compared to some modern tracks. Lastly need to open up the instruments a bit and see if I can pan them around a bit more.

@TonyV
I'll try doing the bass in 8 rather than 16 tomorrow and see if that makes a difference. Essentially to give it more of a rolling feel rather than a drive?

@Benton
Heh thanks man - I love mixing the genres up as it adds to the ear-candy. I come from a mash-up and sampling background so I'd try to mix all sorts together and see if it works. Only difference here is that I'm finally moving away from sampling, and going in to proper instrumentation. More to come!

I'll keep you lot updated on any changes. Essentially tweaking.

More details on the project here:
