Happy happy Pop Pop on Piano

[K-dub]

The video is stock footage from a video plan I belong to. I've weighed doing AI video for my pieces, and some of it seems pretty incredible, but it is wicked expensive. My plan (Cyberlink PowerDirector) is under a hundred bucks a year for the program and access to stock video inventory. The AI vids want 100 bucks a month.

This is a new mix of this piano based pop piece that I kind of stole from a Prince song that I can't remember. I only remember it was a Prince song - maybe about a park or something?

... which is weird, because I've got very little guitar in this.

Any/all comments warmly welcome.

Very good vocals - the ghost notes on the drums are kind of distracting - and bass IMO needs to be cleaned up.

Cool track, nothing wrong with it. I personally wish it had more of that early Beetle's vibe in the mix.

I'm remixing the album and seeking clarity, I really thought the ghost notes pushed the melody subtly. Agreed on the bass clarity - but it's not my part. I'm at the mercy of the source recording. I wreaked as much clarity as I could from it.

Thanks for the thoughts!

Every time I think I'm done w/ something, I tend to go back and rework it. I might do that w/ the Beatle-y vocal in this as well. I don't want to overdo it either.

Would you send me the tracks?

Happy to do so. You want me to send stems or the original tracks (prior to processing). I could also send the midi track for the drums and you could do your own. LMK.

That’s fine pre processing tracks - actually if you’ve done compression and reverb and stuff - send them on - do you EZ drummer/ if so just send me the midi file and what drum pack you used.

PM me your email. I'll send via Google drive share. I'll send the drum midi. I believe it natively will work w/ EZD, but I've got it set up for AD2 via midi mapping in the synth. Piano might be midi as well. If so, that's what I'll send. If not, you'll get the audio unadorned.
