mix advise needed, 80ies electropop italo disco!

rasmus · 26th January 2009

i´ve had some beers with a friend of mine last weekend and we started working on this song...
i know it´s "kitsch" at it´s best, but we had a lot of fun doing this

so what do you guys think about the sound, any advises on improving the mix?

thanks for your comment, drone.
big room house... maybe it´s time for a remix

i´m just really bad at making big room stuff...
wanna do a remix of it?
funny you mention the sound design, it´s about 90% poly 800 sounds.
love that synth, bought it on ebay for less then 100€, way cheaper then a decent softsynth, but it´s got some vibe thumbsup

drums sound ok here,
some leads too.
but feels it needs more punch, more dB / SPL,

more stereo pan.
more stereo filter swepts.
more stereo toms R-L rolls.
more metallic bells percs.
stoping turntable like synth efects. AAAOOWwww.

the electric guitar does Not sound italo disco at all,
the melody bells also sounds in wrong key/pitch for italo disco.

the double snare/claps dont sound italo disco.
sounds strange...

and vocals... with catchi chorus lines.
but thats me,...
