I hear what your saying... No i didnt use any Mics or live instruments so I didnt really expect it to sound recorded, everything was played through a midi keyboard. yeah it could do with some proper mixing down, levels and compression, guess il atempt that later but the main concept for the beat was to be mellow/soulful just something to sit back and jam to...The percussions were played through the midi but it only has three velocity settings (I think) so that probably added to the unatural feel your talking about.interesting thoughts though..music student maybe?
