Forever And Ever - Feat Lily Und Wolf - Shamoozey - DrvanLansberg

Thanks for your feedback Spark! I agree that male and female vocals could potentially enlarge each others presence. I have done that once before only however, since it can be quite difficult to find a good match. On the other track I combined Patricia Edwards and RarCharm. Hope to do some more in the near future.

Best, Doc

Hi Brado,

Thanks a lot for your comment. I think the female vocal sounds a bit different because it was recorded in E, while my track is in D. I had yo change a few notes manually, but left the rest as it was intended. I think that might add to the feeling that it's a bit different. And yes, the whistling is authentic. Took it as an acapella from looperman as well. The poster asked not to give credits, so I won't :).

And yes, a few tracks are slightly off key. I pitched the pads and repeated rythmic arp slightly up. The pad is also drifting a bit. And Shamoozey is all over the place as well :). Although I grew up playing the violin and was taught that on-key is the way, I really like the off-key feeling.

Many thanks for your suggestion. For some reason I never thought of having Shamoozey's vocal accompanied with a few changes in the other tracks. I'm sure that will work perfectly and it gives me a new goal for improvement.

Best, Doc

Hi there Wayne!

First of all, thanks for listening and your reply. Secondly, I really need to start finding out the meaning of "clever" in a musical context :-). I am from Amsterdam, so English is not my native language.

The whistling is not something I did myself. I used it as an acapella which was dropped here at looperman. The poster was quite clear in not mentioning name, and didn't want any feedback either. So, of course I respect that and that's why I didn't mention it.

I have now second thoughts about the use of Shamoozey's line in a second voice. I received quite some advice to take it out...

Anyway, thanks again. Much appreciated.

Doc

Hey Silverman,

Thanks for listening. I wasn't aware of Lily und Wolf either before last Thursday. I was just scrolling through the female acapellas while playing my raw track. And there was a perfect match. And as far as Shamoozey is concerned, to be honest, for me, because he is out off the norm, he is rather easy to work with. This is my 4th track in which I used his vocals. He just gives my clean and software produced tracks a raw edge that I am looking for.

Anyway, thanks for your comment again!
