So Cold - Cellardoor

Description : This was my first attempt at writing a piece of electronica. It's the starting point! I was using the structure used by Denniz PoP in "One More Time" by Britney Spears; checking out where he put the intro, verse, bridge, and choruses, and how he textured them. The working title was "Pop Song Structure Experiment #1," but eventually I renamed it "So Cold." I wrote out all of the notes in Noteflight, and then took it to Mixcraft 6 for instruments. This was before I figured out effects and levels, and before I found the Looperman community. So, this is where I started!

I meant for example the synth pad from 0.45 is a bit much...listen it when it stops (1.05) the drum comes in front again...from 2.33 same problem with another drum...pad is too harsh, don't really hear the bass or bass synth...

that's all...small things...

Thanks! Yesterday my son literally tied himself up in dental floss (don't worry, he's fine) while I was writing, so I guess I was kind of zoned out from real life for a while. =)

Hi!

I welcome you here, first of all...great site...

This song is more than electro for me...there is a massive rock attitude in here...the lead instrument is like a guitar (if it is, the tone is not the best on my humble opinion...) The structure of the number is very cool, though...some mixing problems are there too but don't want me to talk about cause I'm not pro on that...just hear that stg is loud, stg is weak sometimes...I think you used 2 drum tones...the first one is hyper cool from start to 2.25...

Anyways, congrats and keep up the good work!!!

Handshake, Danke

Thank you! I'm just now adding beats to a new song and one of your loops is the beat in the intro. =) Thanks for the welcome; I feel like I'm in Disneyland. I love that you describe this as having "massive rock attitude"--that makes my heart sing. Hey, what do you mean when you say "stg"? I don't know that term.

Handshake right back at you!

Pretty good attempt. A lot of good things to hear. The melody is good and i clearl yhas a head and a tail. The progression is pretty ok as well. The main synth is a bit too loud in comparison to the rest. You should lower it a bit. Then the drums come more out as well. Still good work!

Description : Miguel from Bolivia got in touch wanting to sing on my Dirge in Em track. You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
