Hey Simon

Mate very impressive work here, great use of the Pella, I have them here, but haven't found anything to use them in yet, do have one close to sounding okies, but will see if good enough to put up, clarity and arrangement is spot on my friend, something I expect from you, with the talent you have...brilliant work man...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...

So, the additional detail I promised, even though you didn't reply to my previous comment.

Swelling strings intro works well and then we're into a 4-part mix of bass, drums, strings and something like harp that sounds great.

Good snare sound and reverb on drums. I can't tell if it's a bass guitar. I'm thinking probably synth. Bass is nice and sparse at certain points, leaving space for other elements eg drum reverb to ring out

Then her fine, soaring vocals which are so classy there's probably not much else I need to say about them.

1:30 good reverse cymbal (something I often can't stand).

Drum removal breakdown a good choice at 1:42 and then you reverse back to the main harp theme.

Synth chiming solo after that at 2:26 that goes on longer than I expected though that's not a complaint.

Then return to Veela for a while and bring it all to a close with no new surprises.

Very consistent group of instruments and sounds you have here and I cannot criticise the mix (and I always try) as everything has its natural-sounding place.

Fine work to be proud of.

Thanks for your detailed reply. I did not reply to the last one for two reasons, 1 you stated you would be giving a more detailed response which leads to number 2 I wasn't quite sure how to take your first review and thought it better to wait and see what you said next. (I used to be a Looperman moderator and I know how easy it is to taken in the wrong way)

First up, yes that is a bass guitar, it is the main instrument I play, although I do also use synth basses, where appropriate I always prefer top play it for real.

I am glad you liked the mix even though it is my job, I do not proclaim to know it all (not even close) and sometimes get it wrong.

Thanks again for your detailed review.

Hi!

Great track. I like the atmosphere and the space in this one. I also like the piano part even though it sounds a is it being played a bit of random if you know what i mean. In the end it is charming!

Cheers,

Wow Simon, this is fantastic! Great job building the track and use of the vocal samples, they sound perfect for each other. Sweet ending, nice guitar work. The mix is exceptional, I must compliment you for that. I miss you and some of the other "older" members being around and hearing your music. What else can I say that others haven't already, great track!

Very, Very Nice track.....
Some sweet chords and Melody, that are like a blanket for her voice...
That's a keyboard sounding like a guitar, harmonically it is sounding close
and blends with the track in a solid way...
At first it was a " Is it real or is it Memorx kinda moment "... :-)

Peace...TG.

Not heard anything from you for ages so i thought i'd drop in. Do you know what, i'm glad i did because this is really good. Dig what you've done with the vocals. That voice is beautiful. Nice beats and great haunting pads makes this everything a chill out track should be. Nicely in with the guitar soloing and all in all a very strong track. This was enjoyable to listen to.

That was a very pleasant listen! The composition is beautifully done, and the guitar and bass parts are very enjoyable to hear! Very dynamic and expressive mix and master! I think most people are used to very loud mastering, but I don't know if it would suit a song like this. You've achieved a good balance. Very chill for sure! Nice work!

Greetings, Ensam. Lots of love for this track. That’s because it’s very good!

I became aware of Veela’s existence when listening to a track or two from a guy on here called DJSLT-UK. She is an amazing vocalist but those sample packs are definitely not for me. I just don’t want to be using the same vocals that I know many other people are using, even though they are good and even though I’m confident I’d produce a track sounding unlike anyone else’s using them. Who knows - maybe I'll change my mind.

Anway, this is fine big chiller and would be a good instrumental. I shall give more detail later, as I always do unless I don’t quite have the time for time-referencing analysis, as is the case now.

Congratulations.

I really enjoy listening to this track of yours = ) I wanted to ask you if you knew any music school for producing music, I cant seem to have help from ppl I actually know lol

have you wrote lyrics to this track? Let me know plz =)
Ensam
Ensam replied 19th Jul 2014 - 12 years ago
Glad you enjoyed the track. As to schools for music production, there are many, Berckley is one that comes to mind but a simple search on youtube will give you a wealth of information, a few I would recommend would be, The Recording Revolution.com, Into The Lair, Sadowick Production, Point Blank. There is a lot of info that is wrong, you just gotta get to know whats what. Hope that helps a bit.

The vocals in the track were taken from a sample pack so no I didn't write the lyrics but the rest of the track is all me.

Thanks again and good luck

Thanks man, I think that this is the most intense comments I've had on any of my tracks, thank you so much, I am really pleased you liked it.

The sample pack is called 'Siren' and it is released by 'Black Octopuss', you can find it on their site. I bought it from someone like Loopmasters at a reduced price. Sorry I can't be more specific but it was a couple of years ago and I can't remember who I bought it from but like I said there is a free stripped down demo pack available if you look around.

Thanks again

Hello Simon!

Fantastic piece of artwork...your mix is incredible... everything is clean and beautiful...stupid question but is there a master on it?

Respect, Danke
Ensam
Ensam replied 13th Jul 2014 - 12 years ago
Hey Danke, good to hear from you!

Thanks glad you enjoyed the track, I am really pleased how it came out.

Not sure what you mean about there being a 'master on it', if you mean, have I mastered the track, then the answer is, yes, but very lightly. I used some multiband compression and limiting on it but as I say very lightly as I didn't want to squash the life out of it just to make it as loud as possible.

Thanks again

Thanks, glad you liked the track. The singer is Veela, There is a sample pack that I bought with just her singing on it but there is also a cut down free version also just google Veela and you'll find it.

The rest of the track is all me. Glad you liked it
