[LAU] New song for upcoming little project

[Julien Claassen]

Hello Gabbe!
   What a nice tune again. I love the feeling, as I have mentioned before. 
Remove the drums, and I'd see it in the moanful memories of a movie/radioplay, 
put them in and it is not the kargyra moan, buty the Scandinavian moan. 
Soothing and sad.
   Two things about the production, that poked out: first the bassdrum is quite 
loud - in comparison - and rather bulky, seeing, that you chose a bluky 
rhythm. If you didn't really want that, then I'd suggest removing a little bit 
of the low end - quite amazing, how much you can remove in such a mix - and 
then have a look at the compressor again.
   Also it seems, that the whole mix is overcompressed, the drums "pump" the 
strings aside. As much as I can enjoy this technical artefact as a technique 
in newer electronic music, it's blasmpheming against the strings here. If you 
just want more loudness in this case, try to compress single tracks - 
especially drums and experiment with a limiter, if you must. It could work 
very well. I've always had good experiences with the TAP limiter (unique ID 
2145), within reasonable bounds, it too sounds good and does the job, without 
pumping.
   I love the sounds of this piee. It's the first time I heard pianoteq in a 
mix and it does work. Also the bass sound was soft and smooth, just as the 
piece required. Good usage of the guitar, if it was guitar for effects and 
"drama". :-)
   Thanks for sharing this tune, I hope to meet it a second time in your 
upcoming small project.
   Warmly yours
         Julien
