Night Spirit (Disco House/Synth Pop/Jazz/Funk/New Wave)

Just upped some new tracks to my myspace. "Leaving Today" is my version of an 80s synth pop love song, The bassline in "Fly Me Away" was the result of a brain dump after listening to too much Giorgio Moroder (if there is a such thing as too much), The Untitled track is still a baby, but with each revision is maturing into a healthy breakbeat song. "Discobot" (one of my first tracks) is all disco house and needs to be polished up a bit but Ive been distracted by new material. "Easy Night" is a Funky/Jazzy joint. Hope you guys like them! Id love to see some new faces on my friends list, so if you like what you hear hook up the add.

Hmmm. I dont know what Imeem is so that cant be it. Thanks for the input. Its much appreciated. What would you recommend to unbury the vocals? Maybe some compression of other stuff in their range when they come in or some different EQ settings? I like the autotune on my voice, but now that you mention it the reverb/delay should be cut shorter I think. Thanks!

So, I messed around alittle more with the EQ on Leaving Today and also routed most of the midrangey stuff to a send and then sidechain compressed the send with the vocal output to give the vocals some room. I think it sounds better for it...

Thanks rave. I do want to have the reverb in there but not so much of it. Im using the male voice effect in ableton as part of my chain of effects on the voice and it seems that no matter how I tweak the settings the reverb wont drop below a certain level. Maybe I will just nix that effect and use separate compression and reverb...
