Had Taxi for almost a year and this is my 1st!!

Post by jsebastien » Mon Apr 21, 2008 5:27 am

I decided to against my fear of rejection and self doubt to finally introduce myself to taxi... I have already tried a hip hop instrumental add and 5 of the 6 made it through but 0 of the 5 were selected... ( that took me 5 months to gain the courage for hahaaa ) So here I go once more this is for the modern pop rock instrumental add... (gulp!)Be direct but be nice please... http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... tream=true

Hey jsebastien!This isn't my genre, so I'm not an expert. Here are my thoughts:Instead of having the one effect start at 8 seconds in, save it to come in with percussion at 16seconds in. I found it a bit distracting on it's own. Or better yet, use the piano that starts at 50 seconds in...that would make a good intro syth (starting at 8seconds in), in my opinion. Then bring the piano back again for the fade out exactly where you have it at 50 seconds in.Good stereo seperation and mix!Hope that helps...keep submitting...I haven't gotten a forward yet, so I'm still on the path too!

Yes, nice stereo.Good little tune, in the vein of Ghost Dog - The Way of the Samurai.Would have fitted nicely in there.Well done Josephand welcome.Dave.

Thank you for your comment... I wasn't able to find the back up file for the song so i took a audio clip from the full version...Unfortunately thats all I'm able to do at this point The song is for a hip hop artist and we were aiming for a lil diff with the pop rock sound. Thats prob why the genre isn't perfect.If you'd like you could help a bit more by listening to the full version maybe give me an idea on which section i should use or maybe even merge together... Here is the full song.http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... =trueThank you again for the complement on the mix... I have been hardest on my self about the stereo separation so thank you
