That Special Someone Ft Thasuspect1 KnowKontroll - SeriouslyJoking

nice job !! I feel passion in this track. God luck :)

Gotta start by saying man I wish I had someone like Static Nomad listening to my music man. He give some super critical and solid opinions of what he hears... but respect StaticNomad, I wish I could do that.

Nice track it was cool to hear.

On soundcloud?

"someone else is just cranky about reverse cymbals..ehh?"

Indeed. And a certain someone else might prefer them to be the lead instrument here. At all times. Maybe even the only instrument. Don't worry - just a little joke about my feeling of Crucethus' overuse of reverse cymbals in his music. He does love them. And I often don't.

Anyway, I'm happy to hear the changes and can hear definite improvements.

First thing is choosing to get the best (vocoded) vocal in earlier. It was fine where it entered before in the track but getting it in earlier probably makes the whole thing more instantly memorable.

I'd probably actually get rid of the very first vocal and just lead with the vocoded one.

I like how it's kind of pop music but that you've also got some haunting sounds and some deeper, more beautiful stuff in there. Haunting comes out best at the end. And that mega reverb on the vocoded vocal is a really effective touch.

I like being able to hear the bass around 2:52.

This could be quite a commercial hit, actually.

A bit too 'pop' for my tastes but my tastes are irrelevant.

Anyway, I liked it so well done to you.

Awesome, I love this SJ.
Nice transitions, slick percussion and FX work and really cool vocals.
Very tight mix.

Very creative and I liked it. Keep the reverse cymbals at there volume they are just fine, someone else is just cranky about reverse cymbals..ehh? I agree though the beginning is lacking something, but the end becomes more ethereal. Will have to listen a few more times to give a greater detailed summation!

So, the extra detail:

Are you aware of the sharp pop right on 0:00?

Don't like the 'Suspect!' line as well as the 'I'm lovin' line.

0:40-43 isn't that a few guitar notes?

1:11 vocal could fade in just a little more gradually. You could do a imple volume curve in or add lower the attack on an ADSR filter to get it to come in more slowly and smoothly.

It's that vocoded vocal that really does it for me. The second half, when it goes to 'lady (?) is such a cool movement of the voice and quite beautiful.

2:53 reverse cymbal sounds too loud. And then next one too.

2:54 start of a cool, haunting spacious sound that is best after 3:10.

Nice fadeout vocoded vocal but let it ring a little longer so it doesn't abruptly cut the note off. I hear that (chopped off endings) an awful lot on this site - not sure why.

Hope that was enough detail for you and a few things to consider and maybe tidy up.

Overall VERY good. Good production values and excellent marriage of vocals to loops. I still think you are too dependent on the vocals but others may hear it differently. You have great musical intuition and the melodies are always superior. Good work.

Hi. Brief comment with more to come later as I'm busy right now.

I don't like the vocals before 0:33. After that it's good and I really like the vocoded vocals. Beats are good and I think there might be some guitar in there.

More detail later.

Good work, as usual.

great song you did an awesome job
