Not bad, though I found the mix to be a little bass heavy.
I had a listen to some of your other stuff on your web site.

Very piano driven. Do you listen to any of Robert Miles''s work by any chance?

Not really I''ve heard children way to many times but other then that no I don''t really listen to his stuff

Im a piano person so I do tend to use piano all the time =)
I was not sure about the bass becuase on some systems it sounds great on others "in my car" it sounds WAY to bassy then again I was thinking maybe it was my sub setup hmmmm

btw its time for me to update my site again with some newer stuff

anyways enjoy your easter weekend

Jeff

Very nice. I also checked out your site and other music. I really enjoyed the piano pieces. I like the piano synth, although I think the bass line again was a bit overpowering...

But overall, quite enjoyable!




Always remember, you''''re unique. Just like everyone else.

Hey, nice work.

As far as the EQ on the mix goes, you should check out getting some monitor headphones. AKG K-66s are fairly inexpensive, but provide a non-enhanced sound. (Some headphones / speaker systems will try to "enhance" the bass or other aspects of the sound, resulting in a coloured mix)

Not only investing in decent monitors (headphones or speakers) you should also try to monitor your mix at around 85-90dB (as heard from where you are listning) as this is where the best frequency response is to your ear to hear all the frequencies reasonably flat. Louder, the bass will be more prominent, softer the bass will be less prominent and then you tend to overcompensate by boosting the bass so you can hear it.

Your room will also add to the problem, your room room size and shape will be acentuate/decentuate some frequencies (also with speaker placement, parallel or non-parallel to walls, amount of absorbing furniture.. etc).
