Cool
For me it's also too off beat, a bit

The toms inside are a bit too stereo - they stand out of the whole song. For me.

The toms stand out because that's the way I wanted them to sound. There are no melodic elements as such in this tune so I decided to bring the toms to the front of the mix.

About the snare roll, I don't see what could possibly be wrong with polyrhythms.

Don't forget that this music accompanies images of plowing snowmobiles, so it probably sounds incomplete without the video.

Sounds very tv-like, especially the intro (is that the hook? ) and the finale. The phrase "Something for the boys", comes into mind - or maybe I'm already primed by the thought of that snowmobile......

Sort of "action-muzak". I can easily see the snowmobiles. In that context I don't feel anything is off-time. The intro reminds me of the remix version of Gary Numan's "Cars".

Does the job neatly.

On the nose, Spirit!

I have begun really noticing what conversion to MP3 does to music lately. A whole lot of stuff that is way back in the mix is blatantly brought to the front. This said, i refer back to the subject of "How do you send your music" in the General discussion forum. I knew there was a perfectly good reason not to send MP3's to producers, unless spending another few hours remixing to compensate for the MP3 compression factor.

the trance tune I uploaded is a good example of things being brought to the front. The Ambiant Pad sound is way back in the mix is .wav format. To be fair, I prefer the MP3's balance better and already fixed the .wav.

I don’t see the problem in the rhythm, on the contrary, I think it’s a very intelligent use of it. The Snare at the end it’s not at all out the time, it is obviously played this way, and it sounds great and very natural. In fact, it sounds as if somebody was playing the snare, not a MIDI snare. If you hear some afro music or even better, some Samba music from Brazil, you’ll realize this is the exact way they play the main snare.

Being for a Skidoos TV show it’s perfect.
