Again a cover that blows me away!! It's so strange to hear somebody sing with the voice of Michael Jackson!!

Just one thing though... I would have mixed it a little bit different!! But still it's amazing!!

Would love to hear you sing every Michael Jackson song!!

Love it. Spookily close imitation of MJ. Plus one of my favourite MJ tracks (god bless Steve Pocaro)

Regards

Notes:
1) Tempo locks up at 93.250 BPM - Might save someone else the trouble.

2) You supplied one 48 khz and one 44.1 khz file, which I thought was kinda weird, but I dealt with it.

3) The track in my opinion was a touch bass heavy in some lower frequency ranges. You might consider a touch less bass in the final mix, as well as a touch higher HPF on it.

4) The clave is a bit loud in the track. You might consider bringing that down just a touch.

5) I am attaching a 48 khz 24-bit clip of a mix I did on it, and it is very short (GS has a 5mb upload limit, right?). But it will give you an idea of where I sorta hear it going. Naturally I could do better given all the stems.
The finished file is like 66 MB at 48 khz 24-bit. Anyway, see what ya think.

Hey you! I really like what you did with it! Im sorry about the 48 khz and 44.1 khz mixup. Thanks for great tips! I would love to hear the rest of that mix.... Maby you could upload it on yousendit.com ?
