Mixing synth saw and strings is a nightmare....<link>

Attached is the sample where the strings/synth saw and drums meet and basically dont get together very much...

I think the piano and strings are overwhelmed by the synth saw. Ive played around with the eqs and this is what i got.
I havent figured out a genre for the music yet. Probably Horror but who knows

Appreciate in feedback on how i can improve it!

p.s. you might have to refresh the page or click this link again if you want to listen to it a second time as it doesnt seem to have a replay button.

Sounds OK...What was buggin' me was the tambo, and the b9 playing in the piano bass on the second chord strike. Sounds like you gotta move a dot down a half-step. The blend, otherwise, is good...and the impact, strong.

half a step on which instrument?
and should i lower the sound of the tambo?

I think it's the bottom note of the piano chord on the second mash. Half-step above the root. The tambo is real in the face...too much I think.

Jeff has the ears... you've got a cluster-f--k happening on that second pno chord. It's gotta be a mistake.

Tambo gotta go.
