Description : Our respected looperman member Promenade had a little challenge for me. He wanted me to make a track without the fx/vocal additions to see if it still sounds ok. Well, this is what I came up with in ca 3,5 hours of work. Hope it sounds any good.

hello

this sounds good and the melodies you created are fine. Really nice try in such a short time.

Actually my point regarding to your previous track was about some apparent harmonic disconnection between vocal and instrumental. Also I was upset by so very overcompressed overall mixdown.
The levels on this track are still far too much for me but I guess this is direction music is heading nowadays, correct me if I am wrong. Simply it is not that pleasant to my ears, thats all. Just my prefference.

I do not make proper EDM too much. Maybe it is just a coincidence but I just have uploaded a new House track. Would be interesting to hear your opinions about it.

I downloaded your track to listen properly on speakers and I will eventually return if there will be anything of useful to say later.

Congratulations on this one. Good luck with your music

Everytime when I see your tracks they are so well mixed. I am a novice(at the most) when it comes to mixing down a track. Maybe it would be the next step for me to learn more about mixing a track without the overcompressed sound.

Thanks a lot for your criticism. It helps me finding my weak spots to improve them!

Amazing that you've pulled of a great track without the fx and the vocals xD

This sounds incredibly well for only 3,5 hours of work, but
even if we don't take time into consideration this is still very fine piece of work....congrats my friend!:)

All the best______Orlando

Thank you for your warm compliment. That motivates me to improve my sleepingroom-producer skills .. I think there is a lot of improvement since my first tracks here. Learned a lot from you and many others here!

It seems you did well with the challenge. Considering you had restrictions of time and method, this actually holds up really well. Could be a springboard for later experimentation as well. Cool stuff.

Thanks! Just wanted to follow promenade his advice and try to strip the track down to its essence. Helped me a lot...I might change this track although I am already busy on something else...:p

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.

Description : My third rap song. Still not entirely sure how I got here, but I'm having fun with it. This time, I brought along my alter ego, Cool Grandpa. He's got more swagger than I do and helps bring a little street cred (although not much) to the operation.

I did update the vocal mix based on feedback and I think that was a good call by gixxie. Vox is stronger now.
