Good! Excellent quality dance material. Its danceable with good mix. I think you hit what you were going for.

Thanks PeterPav

I am fortunate enough to record David Vanden Enden - very good singer from Calgary. He is a singer and songwriter.

Feel free to check David's own original tunes here: MySpace.com - David Vanden Enden - Calgary, CA - Pop / Rock / R&B - www.myspace.com/davidvandenenden

It sounds like straight up pro stuff to me. Good work!

I was raised on this genre of music and still give it hell from time to time.

Thanks for a compliment Brandon,

Recording dance music can be tricky. Mixing and arrangement can take forever to learn. I'd love to share some mixing techniques on this forum, so may be I'll open a thread dedicated to electronic music production soon.

Anyway, let me know if you have questions or comments

Cheers,

Andrey.

Wow, I just switched from black metal to this, interesting contrast if I knew one

Is the singer really that good? I heard just a few phrases in this song.

I personally find the mix pretty stale until like 2 minutes into the song, I'd like to hear a few more synth layers or something, not necessarily much just a few more orchestral patches kinda creeping up. The mix otherwise is good - it is pumping in the right places. I wouldn't mind hearing the snare a bit snappier or maybe even a variation of the snare with a little distortion or something to bring it up just a tad. That's my 2c.

You aren't kidding! The "no rules" nature of the beast allows for infinite possibilities that never seem to get finished.

On my Halloween song I'm about finished with I just keep mixing and mixing and mixing. I continually ad more and more stuff. In some ways it's almost a disadvantage.
