 Love all the instrumentation , Great playing ! The mix sounds pretty Well balanced . What did stick out to me needing some adjustments was the kick. There are some spots where it's "not quite right" timing wise. Very close but at times it's shutting down the groove and feel of the song . It then quickly regains it , but the damage is done. I think it's more noticeable with the kick so far out front. If I had a suggestion it would be to find the troublesome spots , deepen the kick and pull it back a little. All in all , a Fantastic instrumental.    Really enjoyed it ..   mark

Thanks mark, I'll give it listen & check the eq. The drum track is printed so any timing issues are in stone, never noticed them myself.

 Maybe after the kick EQ work and pulling it back a little , what I "think" I'm hearing wont be noticeable. For what it's worth , with some close up careful editing , printed tracks can always be altered. Especially drums with distinct transients.

I'll listen a few more times ..    mark

It could be the pre-delay eq on the bass/ drum mix bus making it pop-out too much.. The kick & snare are well balanced. Again I'm not feeling any timing issues.
