The Magnum theme tune played uncompromisingly live in the studio by "The MadSonix" - The motion picture soundtrack tribute band from Bonn, Germany; featuring musicians from the US, UK and Germany! Like us and follow us on: / madsonix
I suspect the song was mixed by the bassist - whoever mixed it loves bass but hates kick drum - doesn't understand what the engine room of a band should sound like. Good playing by the bassist to be fair - but way to high and tinny in the mix.
Nice job, but if I may give you a humble advice, I'm not feeling the slap bass. The bass line in the original theme has an incredible weight, it's just a few well placed, hard-pounding notes that give character to the whole composition. It's one of those instances where the silence of an instrument is crucial - in your arrangement, the bass "drowns" the all-important guitar riff. It's like two people talking at once. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the original bass line does a couple of wonderful upbeat notes (sorry if it's not the right term, in italian I'd say "levare") over the synth's beat that are totally missing here. Just my two cents, good job!
This is brilliant. I'm also having very strange feelings in the pit of my stomach while watching the bassist rock out on this one, sexiest thing I've seen all year ;)
Great mix, and overall quality. For me though, the slap bass is interesting but too busy. Also, the drum parts are off to the point that it sounds like the drummer heard the song for the 1st time 5 mins before recording, and is just making it up as he goes along.
The best i've seen yet... you made me smile like a kid all the way thru the video.... Great job dudes.... Great job.... adding a doberman to the studio would of crashed the internet :) :) :)
