UPDATE Thinking Of You Ft Felicia Santilla - SeriouslyJoking

19th Aug 2014 17:24 - 12 years ago
Description : A snippet from the Acapella "That Is You" by Felicia Santilla https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/5674, drums from Chrisbeats and a nice pad from Mingote - thanks guys! The rest created in FL.****20/8 REDONE - tried to EQ some stuff and widden the pad by panning it. Don't know if it's better now? Also added a bass line and some drum fills from 1:40 for more impact. So did it work??!

nice utilization of the drums from chris n chords of mingote
the whole track has a nice warmth and feels spacious letting all the elements work in unison
like the bass intro at 1.40 very groovy piece of music imo

This is great - every track you do sounds better and better. I agree with the Art of Noise comment, it has brilliant depth and filtering is gorgeous.

Great bass too in the right places. Keep altering the beat and make it go for 6 mins plus !!

Cheers Maff.

Hi there Maff - great to see you here!
Keep it going for 6 more minutes? Haha I'll see what I can do about that. I'm slowly - very slowly - working on a prolonged version of this but I'm not in the music making mood really right now so it's going to take a while.
But thanks for the feedback!

Cheers / SJ =)

I checked that acapella SJ...and you definitely picked the right part of it to feature in this mix...this is really nicely done...the minimalist accompaniment works great and you have done a lot of thinking in the way you developed the composition....You keep getting better every time I stop by for a listen....bravo....keep on doing it.....Ed

Hi Ed!
Yes this is very minimalistic, not at all my style really - I tend to throw in a lot of melodies in everything where as here it's really simple, almost just the vocal snippet that does the whole job.

Thanks for listening and take care!

hi Seriously Joking:)
I really like what you did with the song:) The last part is the best - piano and bass you added fill up all the space in the song. The pad you have used sounds just great for me! I am feeling a very nice vibes at 1:52. Great work with the piano and bassline. Especially I like it at 2:14:). Those two elements appear at the end of the song without any continuation - it makes me somehow wanting to hear them again developed or just repetead. But maybe it's just me:) I suggest that you could only experiment again and try to re-arrange the elements of the song:) But I like the way it is now and that's fine if you will leave it at this point which sounds very nice:)
The sound you created is very chill and I am enjoying this a lot feeling like diving into it. Really nice work and simply cool chillout track!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking about making the track a Little longer but it'll have to wait, I'm at work all day tomorrow.
But I Think you are on to something there with the bass and piano.

Take care!

LOL you don't know how much your comment response made me smile. (I read this while I was at work too) I still won't type any faces though, I just don't do all that. (Often at least)

I've actually thought about being a writer of some sort before. I used to write alot of poetry and lyrics over the years. But I don't do that as much as opposed to what I type on the net or where ever else. (Music pages, youtube etc) Not facebook anymore, I'm tired of facebook. You find out who your friends are and whose merely there for some attention or because they want something. Don't get me wrong, everyone loves a lil attention and company and what not.

But when I want my "space" for example, (key word) everyone can just f off to put it bluntly. People are CONSTANTLY updating the newsfeed with mundane unimportant events. Anyways, sorry there's more to it than that but your not my shrink or anything lol

And yea I was high, why not? Non smoker huh? That's cool, it's definitely not for everyone though. Just do what comes naturally to you

Anyhow - you should write more.
I'm kind of the same when it comes to Facebook, it's fun for a while and then I just couldn't care less.
So now I need my space - careface!

Nice Filtered Intro. Synths Remind me a bit of Moments in Love from The Art of Noise...back in the day. I almost feel the vocal line comes in a micro second too soon in some phrases. The reformulated bass piano sound at 1:45 is nice and counterpoints nicely with the melody. Over all a pleasant listening experience.
Nice work.

Steve - hello!
About the vocal coming in a bit late - yes I Think I can hear that too. I wanted it to come in a tiny bit late for the most time and synced the other times to give it that laid back vibe but now when you mention it, maybe you are right - it should come in late every time to not loose the rhythm. Even for a microsecond.
Thanks for listening!

Dream like vibes, those drums are set at a smooth pace. Calms me down. Nice snippet so far SJ, I don't use FL much. How is it for you? Some of the layout is a lil bit of a mess for me but I guess it depends on the individual workflow of a producer/artist. I've used it but it's just not my forte, my current preferred is using Reason with Logic in unison. !!!-Okay I didn't notice that until just now..reason...and logic. I'm sorry that just surprised me because I really didn't notice that until now. Makes sense now, ha. Nice work once again SJ, peace

Hi Gramo - first of all: I DO like your Gramo Style trap, I've figured it out now. =D
Secondly: I only use FL, mainly because that's what I have at the moment but I'm dreaming about learning and using the other DAW's. Reason is a bit hard for a newbeginner to figure out (or was it Logic? Or both??) but YES whenever I get the chance (a new computer for starters) I'll get in to those and what not. There is a huge difference in the sound quality, I know that.

Thirdly: Are you high or something??! =D Reason...logic...
It's fun to read your reviews, I go around reading them on other peoples tracks too just because it's like a diary from your life. It's interesting! And amusing a lot of times. You should consider becoming a writer, if you already aren't one. I'm not joking!

Thanks for listening.

Can't wait to hear the whole ship, so far smooth waters in style and flavour
solid piece of work...

Peace..TG.

I just thought you might add some simple lead piano/synth solo at the end. Your piano sounds good.
Or introduce piano earlier and put some solo as a bridge to the final part. Hope that is useful.

I'll consider what to do with this then. Wasn't sure about if there was any point in putting more time in this because it's a very...ehrm.. dull song to my ears.

hey:) I think you could also add some variations to the drums.
Maybe experiment also a bit with equalizing and balancing the parts of your composition in the mix and find some better sound:)

Hi again!
Drums are doable - that was my idea too from the beginning but it didn't work out. But I'll try again.
About EQ'n and stuff - hello I'm an amatour! =D

Thanks again!

this is very nice done - vocal has some oriental quality and flavour I think. At least this is how it sounds to me:)First part sounds just great - I feel chill and very relaxing vibes. Too bad it sounds unfinished - I'd like to hear even more power from 1:41. The pad you used also could sound wider (for me). But still really great work with this one!
:)

Hey good points!
Agree about widening the pad and more Power after the break - maybe a bass line and develope the piano some more...

Thanks for listening and for the great feedback!

Description : Peace
Peace is something I haven't felt in a while.
Im not talking about the small moments where you feel peaceful.

Im talking about being at Peace. The kind where you sit in the rain/snow, and just...lay there. In the moment where you accept yourself..

Description : I wanted to produce something as close to conventional trap as I could, while still keeping the Mindway sound. The verses and bridge are as close to rapping as I will probably ever get, and using 808s is kinda growing on me. Maybe could be better, but I am liking where it is.
