Hey all -

I'm considering submitting this track for the listing below : https://s.disco.ac/lehocdumhlxp

Listing: https://www.taxi.com/industry#listing-S231205VN

Is it way too close to the second reference? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4dx42YzQCE

Thank you!
Doug

Cool Track! I was checking out this listing myself earlier today.

It's certainly close in spots. The start of the track until 0:15 is really when it's the most noticeable, and where its certainly close. Once the guitar comes in it has the vibe, but a different sound to the track. You could try putting in a couple of big opening chord shots, in the same way you hit them in the bridge, perhaps just a couple and then the pumping base.

You're certainly capturing the white stripes vibe!

Cheers,
Brad

Too close for me, it's a soundalike which is a no no these days after libraries getting sued

I think it's too close to the ref track for this taxi listing.

Thanks for listening guys - really appreciate your help and agree, it's just too close for comfort.

I've composed a new track that's more unique: https://s.disco.ac/ojzysxolodko


Thanks again!
