Do Better Ft Maaka N BEATZMODE - SeriouslyJoking

23rd Jun 2014 22:05 - 12 years ago
Description : Vocal from Maaka and BEATZMODE (Zeebeatz): https://www.looperman.com/users/profile/736426 ) which I totally demolished because it was really hard to sync (my fault, not the vocals fault).
Thanks for the synth loop from Billboo: https://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/36694. And also for the riser from refl3xdubstep and the flute from drmistersir.
If you have the time to give some feedback: Are the mix and volume levels OK?
Is it coherent? What genre is this?

Edit: It's CHILLTRONIC. =D

Okay last comment, we seem to have a had miscommunication with gender. As did BEATZMODE and you lol And that makes this track and your other track's comment section rather funny. I knew you were a female after this track I believe..I called you a man on my elaboration of a "floating mix."

But your female and I'm aware of that now lol (Just clarifying) Oh wait you know how i knew you were a female? When you posted on my looptrack thread, Dubtek called you a "he" too. Excuse him, I actually know him personally and he's not the brightest one. ha And examples of female producers for your listening pleasure: JJweekz, Anomaly J, Eshar, Patricia Edwards and of course you know Cestevens.

There's not too many of you ladies on here though, not really talented ones at least. (Many there are some that I haven't discovered yet) I think you have alot of potential though, even though you already have pretty good tracks.

Oh SORRY!!
I got the impression of you been a ...girl??!
Sorry.

=D
It was something I read somewhere and it made sense in some way then - and now I see I got it all wrong.
lol.

SORRY!!

And hello, I'm actually a sister not a bro, thank you. ;)
Probably why I'm looking for more female producers all the time - where are they anyway?

Hello BEATZMODE!
So you changed your nickname here - now I get it.

This vocal is amazingly good, I read somewhere that it is your boyfriend singing, congratz to him and his talent!!
And thanks for sharing it.

I'm glad you liked it!
I'll try to do an other version also, shorter and more dancy. If I manage. We'll see.

Take care!

@ Crucethus, Understandable, I was open to the critique and I'm sure SJ is here too. I respect that. But just in my listening, I thought it sounded great. Just wanted to clarify that, I wasn't trying to say your critique was useless or irrelevant or anything, I just had a difference in opinion. Like many do

*Sorry SJ, I'll cut it here. Don't wanna take up space on your track comment section.

Peace

"Now you are killing me - arrange it more complex? I already outdid my capacity here I think, it was really hard to get it all together with that crazy beat and the vocal behaving very stubbornly...
But I'll try!"
Remember that's what Robert "Mutt" Lange, would say to all his artists. "Just do one more take. do it again". It just pushes us and makes us better and we learn more. look at how far you have come so far. It's a nice tune, but I think you could make it better.
@GramoChopin " I find it a little odd Crucethus wants to hear this more complex. I think it already sounds nicely arranged, the end skipped a bit though"
The reason I think this way is I have already thought of some ways that the sound could be built upon the basic structure. to me it would sound interesting. Sort of how Bach starts out simple and add's layers of complexity in his exercises. Our artist has come a long way and is becoming an excellent looper. I am only there for her as a support and my suggestions may seem harsh, but there not. I have great faith in this one in that she will be even better. @ Steve, we should have a count to see how many Steve's are really on this site, be interesting to know?

SeriouslyJoking replied 26th Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
Oh, yes the "Mutt-effect" - Do it again!

And I will.
I also have some more ideas for this one, for the drum line in particular and some of the melodies and mixing.
It could be the club edit...hahaha - well now I'm dreaming here but I'll try it anyway.

Thanks Steve!!
Keep pushing.

And well technically no having a "floaty" mix isn't a bad thing. I meant it in a mental way i guess, i was pretty baked listening to it yesterday lol But in all seriousness, "Seriously Joking" I do like this track alot. Excuse the pun yet again. ahaha peace man, see you around

I think it sounds good.
Sure there will be always something that could be better or more clear or this or that, but all in all i like it the way it is.
(But i dont have realy good soundsystem or else - just a 25 years old nikko reciver on sharp speaker.)
And your track dosend sound bader then other profi produces. Or say better - It sounds same good as them.

I realy like youre work

Hi Joe!
Thanks for listening. There is still a lot to be done on this one but you are right, it can always get better and the limit has to be drawn somewhere...
This track isn't quite there yet though, so to be continued.

Take care!

This is sounding really good. The vocal matches the track really well, the drums are different, i've not heard anyone do a beat like that so congrats for trying something original.The breakdowns are nice and i like the progression of the synths.
You've done a good job with this one.

SeriouslyJoking replied 26th Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
Hi FR!
Yeah, the drum line is different, I made two of them and put them together in various ways.

Thanks for listening and the review!
I'm glad you actually liked it.

Cheers!

Very, Very Solid production I can tell you like what you do...
The harmonics are right on, not many out here use the auto tuner
in the right way, the way you set up the ghost track on his voice
tells me you are in it, when you work it...That's what it is right there...
You've got a rocket here....hearing it 2nd time around Maaaaad piece
of work.... :-)...Simple Clean and Very Real...It's got that feel...

Peace...TG.

SeriouslyJoking replied 26th Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
Hi TG!
I loved working with this tune! I think some of your praise have to go to Beatzmode and the vocalist because it is a really good quality pella but I'll lick up all the rest - thank you!

I have to get the mastering going on on this also and do a few minor changes but I'm really excited about reading your great review - take care and see you around!

Cheers/ SJ =)

Good sounding track. Expected a house style 4 on the floor drop at 1:20 after swoop/build. would really like to hear it with that in a club setting. Enjoying the shuffling in the drum programming and the smooth arps. Vocals sound great. Very well used synth sounds.

SeriouslyJoking replied 26th Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
You know, I was about to add a solid house drum 4/4 precisely where you wanted to hear it but forgot all about it somewhere a long the way!
I also think it would be a good match there.
Will have to try that.

Thanks for the feedback!

Nothing wrong at all with this piece. My ears are still okay and my speakers are ok. Good touch on the breaks in between allowing for breathing spaces and ear rest. Chilltronic is what it is. Stay blessed! - B

Yes, too many Steve's! I work with 3 just in my work group! I have found with FL studio that if you play around with the beat range as opposed to the estimated BPM you can find a good match sometimes! Take care.

Watery sounding, the mix almost floats. Nothing really that off or anything, I find it a little odd Crucethus wants to hear this more complex. I think it already sounds nicely arranged, the end skipped a bit though? No real complaints, great production. peace

Nice, I like the vocal syncing and the stacatto synths. Now I want to hear more complex elements of arrangement build on this one.

SeriouslyJoking replied 24th Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
Hello Steve!!

Now you are killing me - arrange it more complex? I already outdid my capacity here I think, it was really hard to get it all together with that crazy beat and the vocal behaving very stubbornly...
But I'll try!
It's a bit monotonous with that beat all over. And I was going to add more complex melody upon the synth but got a headache and decided to post it like this.
However - challenge accepted.

Thanks for listening!
Cheers/ SJ =)

First off nice chords matching the vocals. The timing of the vocals sounds pretty good and timing is always helped by adding echo. I use FL studio which has a "Fit to Tempo" facility that helps. Vocals could be EQ'd a bit brighter? Sound a bit muffled. I also find the rapid kicks a bit distracting over the vocal and a bit repetitive. Overall though a good feel track!
Cheers Steve
SeriouslyJoking
SeriouslyJoking replied 24th Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
Hi Steve!! (How many Steve's are there in here anyway? =D )
About the muffled vocal, yes, it was kind of tricky to bring it out from under the synth stabs so I'm going to look in to that some more.
I also use FL but that "fit to tempo" feature always backfires on me so I usually timestretch manually and repitch if nescessery.
Noted about the rapid kicks, I like them but I guess you have a point there. I could tone them down a bit and see what happens.

Thanks for listening and for the great feedback!
Take care/ SJ =)
