Hi All:

I'm about to wrap up a fun little cover of "Human Nature", but I've definitely reached that point in the mix where I can't tell which way is up any more.

If anyone had a minute to listen to this and let me know if they hear any showstoppers (besides the fact that it starts off with a stray truncated snare hit), I'd really appreciate it.

Note: the fact that the vocals do not measure up to MJ, while sad, doesn't count as a showstopper.

Thanks! ~ MB

Just in case anyone's curious, this is how the final mix turned out.

Excellent work! I've always liked this song and I like your interpretation a lot.

Never knew the song was written by Steve Porcaro of Toto.

i really don't give a shit about your mix. I just think it's awesome you covered an MJ song in that style and it sounds pretty good! Right on man! Great adaptation. It shows that the song is amazing, no matter the style. But I think you did a really cool job adapting it. Barring all that... the mix is good... by which I mean what's wrong with it?..... ehhhh just me.....
