Big Up on the keys solo! It made the track for me and reminded me of some classic soul song that I can't put my finger on just yet...
This walks that genius line between cheese and greatness. I agree about dumping the fatty-boom-batty synth pad....maybe some marimba? That'd make this track just too sexy!

there was one bass note that sounded louder in my right ear even though both speakers were pointing at my left ear
oh yeah nice tune

PERMALINK
lol, i'll check my bass track.. couldn't been a bad cable!

PERMALINK
i could very easily have just imagined it

there's something kinda clumsy sounding about the hihat clankz
but when it drops into the beat, it's ssexxxxxxy.
i'd fuck around with some soloistic type biz on a ride cymbal instead of a hihat, and complement it with some very dissonant rhodes stabz and reverb tweakz.
if it's jazz, make it a touch more on the tony williams side, where the ride is a lead.
those are just first feelings. oh, and don't be afraid of the "tritone sub" or the sus 4 paralellogram. how about a chord solo on the guit? you got the sex for that.

MORE DOPE TIPS.
see, this is why i LOVE EMFUCK11

i like the idea of dirting up the rhodes a tiny amount.. just some fuzz in there.. very subtle.. also, some movement it he hats (hat like sounds) would be cool.. or just sliding them back like 15 ticks so they're a little late but not really 'late' just enough to change the pocket.. it's that kind of track that would benefit from some subtle human slop
nice track though.. i like the spacey vibe and opium den sensibility.

PERMALINK
there is plenty of human slop in there.. its just those fat drums all quanitzed to grid hide my shitty playing
so my tip for you all, make your drums very very loud, and quantized, and no one will notice you're bad playing
+
PERMALINK
Yes, jdg, I have also found that this works quite well. Or bye bye human slop (ie. stripping out silence / breaks between notes and quantizing).

PERMALINK
playing? who plays anything?

that's what a mouse is for..
i thought all you guys let the computer do the work?
