Do You Really Love Me Feat Patricia Edwards - Djerro

Great Energy in the track.. Gonna use it for a talk show type video! :D

Nice! Super Energy.

I am putting together a radio stream in memory of my late son who died from cystic fibrosis and would very much like to use this track. He was into dub, house, reggae, trip hop and many things electronic. The stream, sonnypieradio.com will be ad free, and will not pay royalties, however I am happy to give you a credit and links. Hoping for your permission. Thank you. Chris

To Patricia, the vocal is often in the background in dance music. Some times I use vocals really pushed back. As a singer it might annoy you not to hear your voice at centre stage but for the crowd and lovers of dance music it is pretty normal.

I like it very much

The Ideas are good but it all seems really loud and hammered together.

Bang, here are the drums.
Bang, here are the synths.
Bang, here is an Arp.

House music has no dynamic range really to speak of so we have to create the appearance of dynamic range by using fades, Filters, panning, Pads, Volume, Builds, Whoosh's, Drops, Risers, Drum Rolls. E.T.C.

The subtleties and nuances of the audio get lost in translation because of the volume.

The kick also has a pretty huge bass overhang that is muddying up the track. Its like 'Kick, woow' Kick, woow'

Its fine to have a huge kick but kick is bass so you need to either cut the bass out of everything else or tighten the kick up.

If you do keep the Kick long you may need to tune it/Change it to fit the track. Put a guitar tuner plugin on the kick and it will tell you the kicks key. Use that as a starting point to tune the kick.

The vocal is swimming in reverb, send the vocal to a send group and put a reverb on it through there. Make sure you put a eq after the reverb to cut all the bass out of the reverb tail.

A way of creating space without reverb is to make 2 extra copies of the vocal. pan one full left and one full right. pull the left one back a couple of milliseconds, push the right one forward a couple of milliseconds. That will create a phasey reverb type sound. Then mix those 2 in with the dry vocal.

Hope some of this helps.

The vocal is a tad bit lost in the background, but this has great energy. Good work. :-)
