This is GIRL BOY STYLE.

Straight up tech-house.. main room club style. Thoughts?

Sounds really polished, nice sounds, ear candy and panning, nice effects going on. Good stuff!

Thanks CRASTE.... appreciate the listen and comments.

I've been working on this. Version TWO has just been uploaded. I still want to work on the arrangement. But it's getting there.

Even more polished and finished off... old version has been switched off...

Sounds good, musical choice/sounds is subjective however the overuse of compression causes immediate fatigue, to my ears anyhow

Thanks for listening and comments.

Interesting that you think it's over compressed and causes fatigue.

In the mix there is compression on the kick and bass, but it's subtle.

In the mastering chain the sonible smart comp
2 compressor is only being pushed down by around 2db and the attack/decay is set pretty well... and the ff pro-L2 limiter is only being pushed down by around 3db and again attack/decay is pretty good... which in the scheme of mastering, this amount of comp/limiting in negligable compared to other commercial tech house tracks. Yes... the kick is loud but not squashed, but that is the intention of the track. And the bass ducks really neatly around the kick (using trackspacer and laser). which is just a bit shorter than 1/8th bar so is gone before it gets in the way.

Anyone else think its over compressed?
