This isn't my style of music. I checked out all 3 tracks on your site. Everything is nice and clear. I don't agree with some of the sound choices, especially all the synths you use, but that's just personal preference.

"The Great Commission" is the best out of the 3 IMHO. Little light in the bass though. The delay on the vocals throws the flow off in places during the verses.

"Driving Me Crazy" sounds a lot like Usher "My Way", at least the bass and drum line. Did you copy the track? I like the synth patterns, but the sounds are bit on the cheesy side.

Emcee is tight. The singer is pretty tight too. Overall, some real nice work.

thanks stray for taking the time to critique my tracks. I appreciate it. You are about third person that has mentioned both the delay issue and the bass issue. I will fix that.

About "Driving Me Crazy". You are right. It does sound like it. I did not copy the track though. The bass and drum beat differ just a little from Usher's version. Do you think I should change it up more?

No, I just asked because they were so similar. But I don't think that's a bad thing at all, it doesn't detract anything from the song IMHO.

I've personally found myself recreating melodies/basslines/etc from popular songs a bunch of times. It just happens sometimes.

Let us know when you post the changes to "The Great Commission".
