Lets Start To Play - ScottFranco

I love the "italian-pseudo-rap" section!
Franco should do this more often: deep and interesting voice.
And I like how it has been recorded: very warm.
Ciao, Domenico

PS: I haven't written anything about the guitar and drums, just to avoid repeating myself... excellent as usual!
Keep "rocking" guys! (or should I say "funking"?)

unfortunately this song doesn't play for me !
:(
how ever i've tried play button doesn't work about this one !

Thanks for the reply. This didn't quite make sense: "we have anywhere between 15 to 25 hours into our tracks between the two of us".

I guess you're saying you have 15-20 hours of material that you've recorded together? OK but I'm not sure what that has to do with any issues that I point out as being errors (as I see them).

I can only call it as I see/hear it. I don't know if someone wanted something to be in there or is actually grateful for me pointing out something they hadn't noticed or were in denial about (I'm often like that with problems in my own tracks).

"When we post them, they are finished and we feel they rarely need editing or correcting in our opinion."

OK, well I guess you're saying there's no point in me pointing out things that could be fixed as you will automatically disagree. I upload tracks in as good a state as I think I can get them. And then I sometimes go back and hear the problems and generally then fix them. People are free to point them out to me. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don't.

I posted a new track last night which I love but now think the end section should be longer and some other bits don't quite sound right. I haven't put that in my track description as it's already quite long enough.

I've actually been a bit disappointed in the past that people haven't pointed out errors or how to improve my tracks as they just gave me high praise so perhaps I thought my work was done (when it really, really wasn't). I had to work out how to make those improvements for myself so just as well I didn't settle for people thinking a track was great.

"I can listen to anyone's track and hear things I would change if I was doing it"

Yes - that's partly how I've learned to make music. By listening to things and getting ideas from how I would do things differently.

Anyway, it's your music so do as you please with it but maybe I won't give any critique on your tracks in future. So, either a praise-filled review or no review at all.

Funk/jazz style always hooks me one or another way. This time we hear more eclectic mixture which is nice. Instruments are well balanced and what I particulary like about the vocals is the Italian accent...haha...Buon lavoro ragazzi!

Some complex, alternative stuff here that isn't easily categorisable.

Before I get onto that, you've got to fix the guitar issues early on.

0:12 and 0:16 pops/edits really have to be removed. It's a good part. Have you spliced together a couple of takes but forgotten to crossfade the parts?

Also, on 0:54, what's that high buzzing noise? It comes in later too and sounds like an error.

Anyway, errors aside, I like the timbale sort of drums fills eg on 1:49.

5:08 cool big, exploding noise that is a bit of a surprise. What was that?

There are also some problems at certain times with the kick drum being too loud. I can give details if you want.

Otherwise, it's some interesting stuff that sounds like it was fun to make.

Hi,

Love the jazz/funk feel to this, the vocals sit nicely in the mix with the guitars at just the right level. Nice work.

Best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

Well i'm no expert on funk but this is pretty darn cool.
Love the percusssive section, the keyboards, the bassline and the guitar.
It's got a kind of Carlos Santana vibe to it and goes very well with the sunny weather that we're having at the moment (Well, we were at least anyway)
Dig this track.
One suggestion, You should drop out some of the low end on the reverb you used on the vocals. It would add a bit more clarity.
Other than that it's a hot track.

There are some cool elements to this track. First, I like the vocals, all of them. The song has a very cool vibe, relaxed and chilled. Many cool percussion instruments, great guitars and some nice changes. Well done, enjoyed it!
