I posted a new song in my music website called “Put Away My Pout”; it is the song on top. It has some Jup-8V synth (not Jup-8000-v and no astrolab-88) and some non-Arturia synths. Please tell me how you like the song, and how it can be improved, and I will return the favor! Here is my link:
Hi,
You are a prolific musician for sure. You also know how to play instruments.
We have spoken before about your compositions so please take these comments in the constructive manner that they are offered.
I am afraid this sounds chaotic and poorly produced.
There is too much going on, especially with the flamboyant bouncy bass line,
The synths sounds feel like an afterthought and not really part of the track.
Recording or production wise it sounds muffled and the relative levels between instruments is lacking.
If you simplify the composition and address the mixing issues, I feel as if there could be a better version to be had.
I hope this helps.
I compared “Put Away My Pout” to the “Prodigal One”.
I heard someone in the background here say “Yeah!” (a fan of Red Hot Chili).
It sounds “live” rather than “in lab”. And asked for comments here, “C’est très bon” was the answer (very good).
Musically the voice and guitars are very good.
Soundwise, the bass seems a bit too loud to me sometimes.
The drum does not sound precise to me; I feel it’s a bit noisy. If I remember well, you’re using a drum plugin.
If I’m not mistaken, the synth is there to stress certain parts of the song.
Maybe you should give details on the effects you use on voice and guitars (like eq, compression, loudness maximizer).
Being prolific is a jazz attitude. In a recording session there are so many takes. Charlie Parker composed 546 songs.
I hope more will comment. I know you’re not afraid of comments.
I’ll be away in the country for a few days without Internet.
Funtmaster and francoise,
Thank you for listening and commenting. I used Helix guitar amp & cabinet modeling and various Helix effects on guitar. For vocals, I use Cubase EQ, soundtoys Little Radiator distortion, and Presswerk compression. I purposely made the electric bass loud because I thought it was one of the better parts of the song. I think Flea, the bass player in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is the best bassist that still plays in a band; and I like a number of the band’s songs, so I will take that as a compliment. 
I have to agree with most of the above, i think the drums are a bit too wide in the stereo field too and could do with coming forwards.
Bass wise, is that a real bass guitar or a virtual instrument? ‘Something’ sounds a little ‘odd’ there.
It’s a little different from some of your usual offerings, too.
I also think it would benefit from a different mix as well, i think it would help the song hugely.
Yeah, Flea IS a great player for sure, but if you want to check out some other awesome players there are LOADS out there my friend…
Check some of these out, one or two of them are actually influences of Flea’s too.
Kim Clarke… She’s been around for AGES and her work with Defunkt is LEGENDARY, but they’re a pretty cult band…
Esperanza Spalding… She’s THE FUTURE!!!

That should keep you entertained for a little while 
matjones,
Thank you for listening and replying. I play real electric bass, but for “Put Away Your Pout”, I used Toontrack EZbass (a virtual instrument): I wouldn’t be able to play a real electric bass that well; it sounds real to me. While Rush was still together, I think Geddy Lee was my favorite electric bass player. Chris Squire of Yes was awesome too. The bass players you posted sound very good. By chance, I stumbled across a youtube video of a Japanese electric bass player named MMMBass, and his video of his song “Em Slap Bass” really impressed me. I got his approval to add vocals, guitar, synths, and a bit more bass and drums. It did well on soundclick’s charts. If you want to hear it, click on the link and scroll down to the 13th song (“Em Slap Bass-Go With the Flow”):
