Groovy! I love the vibe and the vocals. I wish i could hear the singing a tiny bit louder, but it might just be personal preference. Can't wait to hear your next creations in this class - this is amazing for a first week.

Thank you!

I originally had the vocals higher up in the mix, but I dropped them back down into the range of the main Wurlitzer part, so the two would kind of sit together equally. Then, during the French section, I pumped her up and removed the reverb, so it's like she comes up close and whispers in your ear in French... zowie!

I'm curious to see what I do with this track in, say, a year. Once I'm more agile with my production tools - and the keyboard - I'd like to fix a couple of things, and do a full remix of the song. Then I can A/B compare the original version against a new, more skillfully mixed, version. We'll see if I actually make that happen! :-)
