[FP] HFBS: Mika vs Steve Miller Band - Rock Today

Postby Hifi Banjo Strings » Wed Mar 21, 2012 2:59 pm

'Ey oop, lads and lasses, a quick and easy A+B that you hopefully find some happiness in! It's interesting, how my mood can affect my mashups - consider the mood behind You Hurt Me and Jltfied and then consider the mood behind this one. I'm a happier chappy now ;)

Mika - Love Today (instrumental + original)

Oli, this keeps rockin' me baybay! LOVE THIS!

The Miller song is such an ingrained song in my life over the past forever years that it's hard to hear anything but the original but you've pulled it off nicely and I really like the placement and such.

One suggestion (and I'm listening on cans right now so it might sound different on monitors and other systems) is that 1:26 though 1:41 When you pop in the original Mika mental and pella it's just a bit louder than all the other mashup. try lowering that bit just down maybe 1/2 to 1 db to see how it sounds? Just a suggestion to even it out in that section :) Let me know if I'm just hearing that or if it actually needs to be fixed or not?

can i suggest you stick your name on the file cos i just downloaded it and all it said was Rock Today and even the tags dont have your name on it so in a year or so when someone plays it on their puter and they didnt bother to add your name to the title they are gonna wonder who made it and yes i realise i have not used any punctuation in this post thats cos its punctuation free thursday here in my house oh and nice mash by the way :lol:
