hey Aaron (valvedriver), I wanted to respond, as well. I had the dry vocal mix, and I couldve done what i normally do with vocals, but i didnt want to lose Dime's signature and his echo effect, and Id have felt like I was stepping on his toes and what he wanted to do. with the fx as powerful as they are, i found that any louder and they drowned out some of the nuances of the beat, and each other in some cases. In the future, Before mixing I would approximate what he was going for, and then send it over for his thoughts. This was our first true collab and i took what i felt was the best overall approach. Its more on me than on him. I will say that not many first time collabs go this quickly and smoothly, and that working relationship can spawn some great things. Thanks for supporting Dime, as well as myself, man. - The other Aaron lol

What's goin' on, Dime? All is well I hope.
Here's my take on the track. First, I like how dark it is. But is that any surprise? I mean...I'm Valvedriver. Dark is what I do.
As a few people before me mentioned, the vocals are a little low in the mix. I like the delay on the vocals, but I think the feedback/mix levels could have been a little lower. That way it gives the initial vocal track a nice clarity, but not losing the "echo" effect. Think of it as a muted bell. When you smack the bell, the attack is super prominent, and even though you can still here the ring afterwards, it's quieted and fades out fast. The benefit of this is still having the delay effect, but not overcrowding the next few words. They come out much clearer.
Also, in doing so, you could bring the vocal volume levels up so they sit closer to the front of the mix without the echo laying over the top of everything, which ultimately would clutter it up.

Other than that, good collab!
Take care.

I haven't got any clue what you are talking about in that soundscape. I am just a stupid non native English talker. Probably about a Mars-bar having an affair with a power steering pump in a underground bar or so. However the whole ambience of tickered beats with flying sounds fits very well. Cheers, Oli

It really makes me happy to revisit these comments and see all the positive things everyone has said. It's a Great song and, as Dime said, we're really proud of it.

Maaan.. This is awesome! Can you please tell me how you made this track? And how you unite with other musicians?

Great work guys the track is great and your voice is really well integrated and suits perfectly (imho). Im good with the fx too, in my view they fit well and work soften and glue the the mix / the vocal with other elements in the track.

Hello Paul, I typed "Manuela" too quickly because I signed my first post with "Manuell".
Best wishes
Manuela

vocals sound too cheesy.

of course, "Manuela" typed too quickly *embarrassing

Hello you two,

Trap is not necessarily my favorite type of music, so I can't say much about the genre itself. I can only describe how it affects me: a bit dark, mysterious, dramatic, with powerful bass. In this environment, Paul's voice gets a bit lost in my opinion. I find the play with the echo on the voice interesting and it also fits Paul's vocal style, but it seems a bit contrary to Aaron's music. In my opinion, less would have been more here. To my ears, it creates a kind of competition with the music, which is a shame.

I can't really follow the text either. Paul, could you send me the text when you get a chance? In my opinion, the whole thing could have been better and more exciting if they had worked less with the echo on the voice and given the music more freedom with instrumental, vocal-free passages. In other words, the construct had been divided up a bit differently. But that's just my opinion on a genre that I'm not very familiar with.

A lovely job nonetheless!
