I'm generally not into the more mellow, atmospheric type music. But, this was good. It gained, and kept my attention from beginning to end, and there were no mixing elements that stood out as needing adjustment. You clearly put some time and attention into this, and it definitely shows.
Keep up the good work, I look forward to hearing more from you.
Many thanks for your kind words and glad you liked it V - mixing/arranging is my weak point and I did take more time to work on that, so hopefully going in the right direction!
This is really fine composition. Orchestration is excellent as is the mix. Swirly atmospherics and the various instruments that weave in and out provide a very emotional setting for the vocal. Vocal is set really nicely in the mix. Not too prominent, but not buried either. I really liked the way the vocal faded out before the instrumental backing did at the end. Very nice touch.
I wasn't aware of the Oliver Patrice Weder VST from Spitfire Audio, but just checked it out. It looks like amazing value for only $29 US. Thanks for including info on the VSTs and samples you used. That was interesting/helpful info.
Many thanks for your feedback. Yes I spent quite a while tweaking the vocal chop levels especially at the end where it gets progressively softer. I agree the OPW plugin is amazing value for the interesting sound textures you can create. Check out Oliver's work on Soundcloud - you'll enjoy it! Also check out all the Spitfire LABS instruments which are all 100% FREE! I created my cover of OMD's Souvenir using only these free plugins.
Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : This is a strictly groove track where the elements of ambient meets electronic funk and Hip Hop. I play all instruments on the track excluding guitar solo which was performed by my friend Art Miller.
Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...
Description : Got some spare time finally...just started on some random ideas basically (lets say kygo meets alan walker). A blend of dubstep,edm,downbeat,tropical etc.
It's still a work in progress, so i would appreciate your honest inputs. Thanks to all those whose loops I have used in here, sorry I don't have time to search them out.
Edit-added some more filthy sounds from my previous tracks and gave it some ending. Advice will be helpful.
Keep up the good work, I look forward to hearing more from you.
Take care.
V.
Thanks again for taking the time to listen :-)
