Listen To All Funked Up Funk Song By SupaFreakshow At Looperman.com

Description : Hoping to find someone to lay down some vocals. Probably not the typical genre that one might be used to. Male, female or both. Female-maybe a Sade style sultry jazz voice. Male-old Kool and the Gang (Fresh), Commodores (Brickhouse), Dazz Band (Whip It). Not really putting limitations on things though. Song is just the rough basics. I plan on adding a guitar lead and other synths based on the vocal. Nothing is set in stone, so I can arrange the song to suit what you have in mind. The guitar and bass are live, 80s synths are from scratch, drums a combo of keyboard and filling in the midi blocks :) If you are interested, email me at tube0driven@yahoo.com with "Vocal Collab:your user name" in the subject and leave a comment on here because I am terrible at checking my email. Big thanks in advance!

I can definitely hear all the funk factors going on here and why the groups you listed. It has that goodole old fashioned era of funk that was unmistakably GREAT! :-)

Great foundation for a song. Love the groove. Love how other instruments join the bass as the song goes on. I wish you all the best with a collab on this one. Dan

Very well produced track you made here. Love how you put in the synths to give that spacelike funky feeling. I definetly agree that vocals would fit perfectly here. There is enough talent here so hope to hear this track again with vocals soon! Good luck!

Thanks Mudhoen. I've already gone and taken some posted suggestions and I'm trying to let things soak in for a bit, The wife and kids are out of town, so it is nice not to feel rushed just to try to start and finish something in an evening. As for talent on here, you're absolutely right. You're part of it. Still go back and listen to Windrunner...it's that no frills, dark but uplifting trance that got me into this stuff years ago. And I'm guessing most, if not all, from scratch.

I'd cut that fade out at the end and go for it ending on that beat.
That way this is powerful from beginning to end.
That weedy weak trickle at the end doesn't belong in such a thumping piece.
Go out with a bang.

Haha! No longest delay tail fade out of all time?! Yeah, that's the first thing to go. It was annoying just trying to find the end of it so I could render while I'm thinking "Oh, this is going to go over like a whore in church." Thanks for both of your comments. This was a very rough draft that I put out just to see if I could get a vocalist' attention. Will probably have to put some more work into though.

Hi.

This is good stuff and I can hear a powerful, well produced sound as soon as that drum fill kicks in.

Guitar and bass are real tight and well matched to each other and the drums are busy, with good fills and dynamics. A rather nice, chillout ambient synth sound begins with the guitar and bass and adds some extra depth and quite an 80s feel.

0:21 I'm less keen on that new synth sound though many people will either like it or won't mind it.

This feels a lot like a 70s far out funk workout but with a more modern powerful twist and fat rock drummer.

As the track progresses, I think I'm hearing too many of the exact same drum fills. They're all good but I can tell they've just been copied and pasted. Yes, I do that a lot too but also spend ages varying them just a bit to provide variety and give them more of a human feel.

Another slight problem with them is that they stay on the same closed hat throughout. Moving to ride or open hat would provide more variety and take the track up and down much better. So: good drums but they could benefit from more variety.

Synths get a bit more 'soloey' and far out as things progress.

I se you want vocals so if you get them I know this will progress and change perhaps quite a bit.

Nice panned synth fadeout ending.

Overall: creative well produced work that deserves a good vocal. But, even without, it can still be a great instrumental and overall enjoyable piece.

Congrats.

Thank you for the detailed response. It is always welcome.

Yes, I am hoping for vocals so I did this at a bare minimum, for now. My original intent was to be able to add/arrange/rearrange as the vocals called for, but we all know how that goes sometimes.

I am still on the fence about the synth sound you mentioned. It is a MiniMoog (well, MiniMogueLUXUS) at it's most basic with some filter/pan mod and delay. It's the same sound as the lead parts, but may not work as well played as chords. I'm going for that "when synths first got popular" vibe, so not trying to go too over the top there.

I agree about the drums. Most of the fills are slightly different, but I may have gone too subtle. As for the hi hat, I originally went to the ride, but back to the hi hat thinking that if and when I add a bridge I'd use it there. Listening to some of the old funk, I often wondered if the drummer even had a ride...kick, snare, hi hat, done haha But yeah, good idea.

As this is a work in progress, while I wait to see if anyone wants to hop aboard with vocals, I'll be working on it. I don't want to bombard Looperman with too many versions...even though I have been guilty of that in the past :)

Thanks again,

Mike

Description : 'Love will find you at the right time'...This track is about how we vibrationally attract love. From my recollection, in the early 20s/teen years, a typical place to encounter this wonderful force was the Disco. (Kay)

Description : This is another Jazz/Funk composition. My brother on the Loop, BaoBou was kind enough to grace this track with his fire on guitar. Also, as a result of his contribution, I got inspired and added even more funk into the mix. Enjoy.

Description : Continuing my journey with sampling. This was mostly an accident, and not where I originally thought it would go but I'm happy with the destination. I started with the track Real Reel Switcher by Eunice Russ Frost, which has a slower melancholy swing to it, however I've been playing a bunch of older video games lately, with SSX being in the mix heavily, so this track ended up taking on a bit of that for inspiration as well. Would love your thoughts.
