Listen To How We Met Ft Steklo Dance Song By Srbrown7 At Looperman.com

You are a lucky guy to get constructive comments from people who have obviously listened carefully to your work and know their stuff. I'm starting to thing that a Looperman member needs to get really at the top of their game and have created, like you, a stream of consistently high quality tracks before they get this kind of feedback.

It occurred to me that I might have passed by Steklo's acapellas not recognizing how well they could be incorporated into a track. I think I need to open my ears more in listening. Will need to check him out.

I'm not sure this is "dance", but it sure seems danceable to me.

Its time to get back to work, but I've enjoyed, been impressed by, and learned something from every track so far. That's time well spent! :)

Hi Steve,

Hits the spot is how I would describe it, those vocals are awesome but it is the way you have put it together that makes it such a great listen. Great work.

Best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

Great Song, like singers voice with the music together.

Great track. Good dynamics and feel for the singers voice with the music. I really do need to get back on Looper more often, I miss so much awesome music and new musicians. This is solid in every way. Very well done.

No, no one is knocking at my door offering to sing either. Funny, that. I think you've got make the effort in approaching people and I don't really make it (nervous after getting screwed over by too many people in the past). However, I'll probably soon upload a female vocal epic I did a few years ago. I have a whole unfinished album of that stuff.

Anyway, "drawl as you put it is a bit down to the time stretching to fit to tempo" certainly did not occur to me. Interesting if that is the answer. It didn't sound artificial, just a natural singing style. But I guess time stretching can introduce odd artifacts so maybe that's it. Or maybe it's just enhanced and exaggerated the drawl that's already there.

"he must have steroized it with the reverb effects panned more to the right?"

I don't know. I guess that's possible. Have you had any feedback from him yet on the track? You could ask him then.

Panned reverb effects? Seems a strange thing to do but anything's possible. I still think, for whatever reason, there's some distracting left bias. You pointed out the same thing in my track The Penitent Man Will Pass (or maybe it was you who said it was fine, can't remember) and I've checked and checked and I can't find where that damn left bias is originating from. Very annoying! I'll have to go back and search harder.

Anyway, good work and good luck with getting more vocals to work with.

Salut Steve ....

All the ingredients are here to make an incredible track of technicality.
I have already integrated the powerful voice, of this boy full of talent, in one of my compositions with the pella "Sacrify" and I know from experience that is not obvious at the outset.
Here you have found the right key to make this challenge a pleasant and a dance track with your usual musical ingenuity. Congratulations.

Stunning performance Steve...agree with you this guy is one of the most talented singer here...I'm not the biggest fan of the dance genre and I don't know it, neither but this song gotta special vibe and mood...it's just floating on and on...brilliant clear mix as usual...your musicality had given justice with this singer...respect and congrats...fabulous song...

All the best, Danke

My customary sort of review. Here goes:

Not keen on the intro keys sound. What they're playing is fine - it's just my preference. But, but, but - it sounds fine when the fat beat enters. There's just something about the higher harmonics though I'm slightly at a loss to explain it fully.

Some sounds don't sound good to me when playing solo but do when backed by a fat drum beat.

0:31 nice moving, sweeping trance synth. This all sits well though maybe chords could have done with a little change or a fill or two at the end of a bar or two.

Not too keen on his voice when it comes in. Just something off with the drawl on "No way" in "I'm getting no way". Or maybe it's "nowhere".

Reminds me slightly of some punk singers there and in a few other spots. But I can see why you like him so no need to worry about my opinion. It's irrelevant.

1:48 vocals seems panned/recorded too far left. Also, recorded different acoustically so sounds slightly odd when it enters. Maybe trying to get that first acapella and second to sound more similar though that may be hard if recorded on different mics etc. Hope that makes sense!

Yes, 1:33 simple guitar chords work well but I prefer high sound on 1:44. Guitar sounds a bit distant so could maybe do with a bit of brightening via mid or hi EQ.

There are some good breaks later and this has definite commercial potential. People will dance to this in clubs, for sure. It sounds a bit different for you so that's probably the vocal inspiring some different moods, which is a good thing.

Good to hear you branching out.

I see you have new guitar software.

Nice intro. sense of foreboding. Then a nice funky beat. good build. Sinister feel with the minor chords. Perfect fit when the vox comes in. I agree with ed the guitars at 1:33 are great. I was thinking that maybe the vox could have more of a stereo echo to them since this a dance tune? just a thought. Though nice stereo delay on his held vocal note. The music is spot on and I am tres impressed. Love the Phased pad at 3:25. This is just a really good song. I really liked this one Steve.

Oh Yeah....that guitar hit that first checks in around 1:33 is freakin deadly.....to my mind this one is just a fantastic mix of what is best about dance & rock Steve,,,steklo indeed does a great job on the vocals...right on key...appropriately expressive delivery....I will check out his page (I am terrible at trying to compose around vocals but I`ve been spending some time listening to what guys like you come up with)...This is top notch stuff...ready for commercial release & it would be great if it replaced the stuff my radio plays...a big well done to both of you...Ed
