Hey Suz, H-Bird! Chinese Parade-New Version

Here's what I came up after you helped me out with some ideas:http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... m=trueHope this would work for that particular listing! Thanks again for your input!

Hey Wes,I'm not Suz or Bird, but maybe another perspective could help.The first thing that strikes me is that bass. The root/5 part sounds almost country and to my ear not really fitting with the Chinese vibe that you are going for.I think a more ethnic sample and longer notes/different intervals would bring this up a notch.

If you go back and listen to the first version, and then listen to the new version, you can hear a 'world' of difference To me the "sounds" are good - by that I mean they sound live & authentic. I would suggest listening to your mix of the piece at a low volume. When I turned the volume down, there's a spot where the sweeter instruments aren't playing (drums only) & I could barely hear it. Good point re the bass, RLD.You worked hard on this, good luck with the submission!
