Youre right im being an idiot, I have bipolar disorder sorry,

SeriouslyJoking replied 30th Jul 2013 - 13 years ago
Oh, then I'm sorry too. Having that disorder isn't easy. The good side to it is that people with it very often also are brilliantly gifted in artistic and creative fields. As yourself.
Just remember to eat properly, sleep regularly and take care of yourself and you'll often be fine most of the time.

a lot of character in this one, sounds pretty in tune too to me! you should definitely continue with that, maybe work on the vocal integration some more but also don't over it. lovely piano. i think keeping it simple and minimalistic is a good way to go here to gradually sculpt the character this track holds.

I'll continue working on it.

Hey SJ....this is great!..love the huge sound stage present throughout,piano and vocals work so well together....with a track like this where space is at a premium it would be very easy to add lots of extra elements,which I might add could overwhelm the ambience you've already created....however if viewed as an audio drawing where the primary consideration is keeping things in perspective,adding things like electronic transients,strings,percussives etc can be incorporated successfully as long as they remain behind the reverb model you've created and move in conjunction with subtle volume changes...less is more here like a ballet stag...excellent work so far! cheers Dave

Wow, one of Loopermans finest musicians listening and actually liking! May I kiss your feet? Hey don't run away!
Well, I also thought about that adding stuff maybe would ruin the hole song...at least the plane piano-voice-flute part. Maybe it's fine as it is? Less IS more. Often.

Besides, I still really don“t know what to add. It would be great with some real instrumentals, a guitar or what ever...which I don't have or play.
Need to take a break from this and come back later.

Thanks for the advice, Dave!

Hello ....

A subtle and clever musical montage, .... A beautiful melody but also surprising.
The piano brings here a mysterious side that I like ....
I agree here, with leading commentators, concerning the voice and reverb.
This does not detract from the originality of the concept .... and I hi here your talent of creator .....

Hi Dan and thank you!
Yes, I will listen to the advice and remaster this. Was going to do that today but something else came up (some laundry and a thunder storm...lol)

Take care!

Ok , now were in tune, and the piano sounds great down tuned. Now my other suggestion is I agree with Ed in that you should back down a bit on the reverb on her voice. Then it will sound much better with the piano, but it is becoming a spectacular start.! Keep doing!
SeriouslyJoking
SeriouslyJoking replied 27th Jul 2013 - 13 years ago
Great!!
Thanks for pointing out these things to me, Steve. (But really - my beloved reverb!!? OK, I'll cut it down a bit.)

Now I noticed that I forgot to fix the piano on the drumside of the track - darn thing...to be continued.

well...I think you`re off to a fine start SJ...I love piano (even though I sometimes claim to be an ol guitar guy)..perhaps reduce the volume very slightly and maybe try inserting a mid-side processor to widen the piano and leave a vocal spot in the middle (there are some decent free ones...check Brainworx Music for their BXSolo)..I don`t mind quite a bit of reverb..although I might reduce it a touch (its a personal taste think I think)...also..on your reverb setting...set the pre-delay quite long (50ms or so) and that will allow the initial vocal phrases to sound clearer before the reverb kicks in...The disonance isn`t overly concerning but you could check the key relationship between the piano & vocal & perhaps get them closer.......will have to check back & hear how you make out....Keep it rolling...and a well done to you....Ed

SeriouslyJoking replied 27th Jul 2013 - 13 years ago
What a great guy you are, Ed!! Thank you for taking your time to listen and giving lots of very good advice. Especially that about the BXSolo - I'm checking in to that and the rest of it first thing tomorrow.

Right now I've just used FL's stereo enhanger to widen the piano a bit and looked over the pitching part.

Nothing wrong with voice and piano. I like it the way it is, but if you decide to go further with it, I'll check it out, too and probably like it.

Cheers,
Scott

I was just checking on the piano, your piano song starts in the key of C#, the original accapella is in the key of B or 2 steps down. The vox just seems out of tune to my ears. did you tune the pitch of the pella at all?
SeriouslyJoking
SeriouslyJoking replied 26th Jul 2013 - 13 years ago
No, didn't pitch at all. There is a dissonance in there wich I sort of liked, but of course it's not supposed to be totally out of tune!
Thanks Steve! I'll pitch the vocals and check what happens with the song that way.

The "piano" needs a lot of refining.

Sounds kind of like a live performance! Pretty cool! These are nice vocals! Good work!

I love that pella - It's just amazing! But I have to get better at imitating pianoplaying in FL. Thank you for listening - really pleased over you liking it!

Description : Unfiltered. Just me and the Squier Stratocaster. Comp edited the recorded guitar freestyle clips so it all sounds like it was recorded in one take. I used one of my old beats. Trying to get my guitar to scream was my goal, but in the process i made the guitar make sounds i didn't know it could make.
