18 Feat LeoVal - Youll Be Alive RetroFuture Vision - HenryPascal

8th May 2020 13:15 - 6 years ago
Description : I was so fascinated by the concept of Eighteen, that I ask him the acapella to do my remix. Despite the right hand not yet fully restored, I could not let the idea I had in mind vanish into thin air. So, in just 11 hours of work, this is the result, a track that recalls the electronic music of the late 70s.

The vocal interpretation of LeoValentine is incredibly beautiful, the concept of Eighteen sublime...

I hope this version is equally appreciated!

Yeo Nico,
That's why Joe said Madonna and I agree. Sounds like it could fit on the Ray of Light like a one-hand glove no pun intended.
But hey it is a great track.
Well done Nico

Joe mentioned Madonna and I agree. Sounds like it could fit on the Ray of Light album. Keep up the good work despite your injury.

I wish I could too make reference to years, but I can't. :-)
What I love is the dreaminess feeling.
Like I'm in a protective bubble with all sorts of cool things outside it captivating my attention,
and as I go further and further the shininess and glitter will just get better and better.
I think the vocal married to the muzic is gonna have to grow on me.
Is the vocal a guy or a gal?

Dear Henry, as we agreed by email, we will exchange free consultations. So get ready for the heavy buckshot lol

First I'll talk about what I liked:
The introduction is very interesting, with the weather progressing as the music grows. I couldn't find acapella to compare, but for me the voice has a good timbre and a good volume, in general. The melodic lines of the keyboards I also really liked. The part I liked the most was the buildup after the break, it was sublime.
Now comes the part where I would do different ... Get ready for the buckshot lol
Right at the beginning there is a chord that I didn't like, it just clashes with the music in my view, although it is the same chord at the end, where it was good.
Before the stop, you created a cut and repetition effect of the voice, to my taste, it sounded a little strange, maybe it's out of time or out of key.
After 2:10 you created an ambience effect in the voice and I didn't know what the intention was, because the volume decreased but didn't disappear, and then she came back. I maybe would do the effect, but I would make it disappear completely and then go back to the other bar.
Between 2:30 and 3:30 minutes I believe it is the climax of the sound, but in my opinion there are many instruments competing for the same space, so perhaps they give the impression of swallowing the voice. I might have interspersed one after the other, or even some instruments on one side and others on the other, to release a little bit of information.
Finally, on the last bar, I would have finished the song with a last low note along with the kick, seasoned with a little reverb effect, I think it would sound better.
Well my friend is that, a lot of what I said is personal taste, and it varies from person to person.
Overall music has a good 80's feel to it, and the voice is great.
Good productions and I hope I can count on your free consultation on other projects of mine!

Regards!
Julio

Thanks for the valuable suggestions, you opened my eyes (and ears) to details I hadn't been paying attention to.

As for the acapella, the question is very complicated, I'll explain everything in PM.

The only effects applied to the acapella are a multiband compressor (with the mid frequencies cut as much as possible) and the crossfading game between wet and dry in the reverb. The rest is all Eighteen's work, are effects that he applied on his acapella before sending me the copy.

I have listened to the defective chord several times, yet I can't understand why it sounds bad, I have to investigate haha

The acapella that decreases in volume is an attempt to "phantomize", because leaving it continuously made the track too boring since it always repeats the same loop.

It's true, when vocals returns to 3:05 it actually seems buried by the instrumental ...

The last bar I left it like this, because in the intentions, this track had to be part of a fake suite (maybe i'll do for real some day), that crash reverse had to introduce the next part of the suite, as well as the effect at the beginning had to be the tail of the previous part.

It's nice to be able to have constructive criticisms, the listener's points of view are important!

Hello Henry Pascal.
Really nothing bad to say here :)
All sounds good and in the right place. Her voice is really special and i like the vibrato a lot. So i think you done a good job on what you wanted to do.
But in a way i believe that a much darker and a more wave oriented version would have been better. But that is just my opinion and is not any kind of critic at all.

A really nice one to listen to.
Much respect for both of you!

stay tuned

No problem with criticism, if constructive as your is.

Just i don't understand what you mean with "wave oriented".
Sure, to be a seventies theme, is maybe a tad brilliant, and this don't help to give that flavours.

It could be one of the fixing i can do, so... tell me! aahahh

crucethus 8th May 2020 23:59 - 6 years ago
Hey Lefty!!! That intro was amazing. The music is amazing. Vapourware all the way! The vocals need some chorus effect to quash the off key vibrato. and I agree with everyone else it becomes buried. all easily fixed. The music is freking outstanding though.
Cheers mate.

Listening to this is like, "Just give me some red Bull with vodka & I'm ready to GOP to the club" kinda thing. It's really professional sounding too. Great job.

A shame that red bull did not exist in the late 70s ahahah

To get back to your statement about vocal burial,

The point at 2:00ish is brilliant that the vocals fade away, I wasn't referring to that.

At 3:00 I noticed the vocals come back, but that's where it is getting overwhelmed/buried by the instruments, is what I meant :)
HenryPascal
HenryPascal replied 8th May 2020 - 6 years ago
Ahhh, yes, understood.

Maybe the limiter did his job, 'cause it was one of the spots where there was a bit of distortion... if i create an automation on volume, distortion cames back, so that's the best i can do with the means i have available!

Description : Sorry to bombard with the same track. Here's the final version of the track I made using an Acapella from Looperman by JakeBuzzard. Now remasterd and with sub added plus scratches and more independent equalisation on drums / doubling up on a few instruments. I've also increased the volume on the samples used and the main vocals - as mentioned before, I'm deaf in 1 ear so struggle to get a good stereo mix, honest feedback is welcomed please

Description : A dark, melodic trap instrumental with a hypnotic bounce and a smooth, atmospheric feel. The production blends haunting melodies, deep 808s, crisp drums, and subtle textures that give the beat a cinematic edge. At **148 BPM**, it moves with a fast but controlled energy, leaving plenty of room for confident flows, catchy hooks, and melodic vocals.

Perfect for artists looking for a **dark trap, melodic rap, street rap, or moody R&B-inspired sound** with a modern feel.

Description : Hi everyone, I'm presenting you my new beat, where I tried to capture the raw emotions of recent events in my personal life. It's a unique fusion of a dark trap vibe, dirty analog textures, and solid boom-bap drum patterns, topped with a few distinct samples. One of them is a vintage movie quote from 'Psycho' (1960), and the other is a haunting female vocal loop from Looperman, which serves as the main chorus. Hope you feel the vibe.
TONE: F#M
TEMPO: 100 BPM
