Description

Hello everyone. Here is my first post.

This song, "Otomatik" is an old one... I've recorded this on my PC-Cubase days maybe in 2005 or so...
Last month I found the cubase files of the song and exported each track to aiff and finished it on GarageBand.
Drums were made in those days with Acid Loops.
I only added solo guitars, mid section basses and guitars...
I have a bad habit: I can't pass onto a creating a new song until I'm finished with the current one.

Some things I don't like are: verse sections are in 3 measures and very poorly mixed.
Comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Hope you like it.

MK.

	Nice I dig the transparent feel in this mix, clear and easy to feel all the players. (Altho the bass could have been a tad louder in my speakers.) When the lead plays over the rhythm, the energy kicks up a notch, nicely. I like the fusion funk feel. Laid back yet groovin' and exciting. Welcome! Check out my latest song called Frozen Man (by James Taylor)

	Otomatik Dude,I don't see how you can use the phrase"poorly mixed" in the description.I'm listening with head-phones and it sounds great. You sure can play that guitar(those guitars),,I love the tone.It sounds like you have the gain dialed up almost to the point of breaking but not quite..Nice warm sound.... This totally rocks!

WeatherReport	WeatherReport said 708 days ago (June 15th, 2011)
	Thanks... I think I got confused with the terms while thinking in Turkish and writing in English :) I meant to say the mastering is poor. Thanks for the comment. And you are right about the lead guitar. The gain was almost there and I wish I had 11th level :) But I liked the way how it got to the breaking point. Sounded nice to me.
