Its also the first song on my myspace: http://myspace.com/jontidaniels

The drums were programmed on the 404(although with sp12 sounds), and everything was recorded through the 404's effects. Otherwise that, its all live instrumentation.

The instrumentation is top notch as usual but I would try to redo the drums (are those sequenced or is it a loop ?) to take away some of the stiffness, to get more swing they're too quantized to my liking. Don't get me wrong quantized drums can be nice but they don't work for me in this song. Perhaps you're going for that effect of having the very mechanical drums vs. the live instrumentation, but to me it sounds a bit like the drums were just layed out to start the song and you forgot to bring em up to the standard of the rest of the song.

yeah i hear ya. although i was going for that programmed feel with the drums, especially by the change ups. but i can see what your saying and if this wasnt a cover, i would of probably put more thought into the drum arrangement.

sounds good yo! your change ups are dope! it's a song all the way through... good ish! i still gotta work on making a whole song..
