By My Side - Odarka - Juankar

18th Mar 2026 17:55 - 6 months ago
Description : My first song, thanks to Odarka's voice, which helped and inspired me to start creating something, because after buying the computer and keyboard, I didn't know what to do with them. I apologize for the structural and equalization flaws, but I still don't quite understand how to do it. I'll learn with time. The main loop is taken from a collection called "House Starter Pack"

"While AI is becoming some serious competition ;), it definitely has its pros :) Ive learned quite a lot about mixing thanks to Artificial Intelligence. Its a truly great teacher. Not only is it patient and thorough in explaining how plugins and a specific DAW work, but it also reacts in real-time to whats happening on the screen and can provide corrections on the fly. It makes occasional mistakes, but its getting better and better at this role. Were lucky to see it develop during our lifetime :D Its an epoch-making event. I just hope it goes easy on us once it takes over the world :D"

Hahaha, let's hope that moment of dominance never arrives.

You're right that knowing how to use AI can help you learn, almost like having a private tutor. I still haven't learned how to use it by sharing my screen; I'm still relying on YouTube videos, hahaha. But I've seen videos where they use it that way, and it's amazing how they ask it questions and it guides you on how to do things.
I agree with you; we're lucky to live in this era. We can do things that were science fiction until recently. Let's hope it helps us and doesn't complicate our lives.
Best regards, Juan Carlos

P.S.
Since I don't know English, I use a translator, and seeing the translation of what I wrote to you yesterday might be misleading. Where I mention using someone's voice or the AI's voice, it gives the impression that this song was done with AI. That's not the case. This song, which was my first composition, features Odarka's incredible vocals, as does the second song I released. AI was only used for the vocals on the third song and during the subsequent mastering process.

Best regards, Juan Carlos

Well, I can finally return the favor. Excellent work! :) Mixing music with vocals is definitely out of my league, not to mention I dont know anyone who can sing well, but you guys nailed it! Its a great example that you dont need 45,000 plugins and synths to make good music..."

juankar replied 11th May 2026 - 4 months ago
Thanks for listening.

If I sing, you'll all have nightmares, haha.
I try to keep it simple, with few audio tracks (8 or 10) and few plugins because I don't know how to use them; I'm still learning. But Chris from LINER FADE explained in his latest track that he used 5 or 6 plugins just for vocals. It seemed super complex to me, so it's no wonder the sound quality he achieves is so exceptional.
You can start like me, looking for acapellas herethere are some really good vocalsor create the vocals with AI, like I did in this one.
For me, the important thing is to keep practicing composing tracks and learning about mixing and mastering, either with vocals from here or creating them myself.
Best regards, Juan Carlos

Youve really got this style under control, Juankar. Theres so much passion and feeling running through the track, and knowing this is your first time putting a piece like this together makes it even more impressive. The way you knitted everything together feels natural and full of heart. Seriously amazing work.

Hi Richard!
Your words are flattering, especially coming from a creator like yourself.
I've focused on this style because it's easier for me, and I like it. I think this first track was a beginner's luck; Odarka's voice inspired me, and I found a sample on Cymatics. I only added percussion, the other voice you hear, and a couple more instruments. But I'm happy just doing simple things like this and learning as I go. My biggest struggle is with effects, mixing, and mastering; it's very complicated for me. You have to dedicate a lot of time to understand it, and I don't have that kind of time, haha.
Best regards, Juan Carlos

This is a great result on your first song. The vocals blend well with the instrumentation. Congrats on this. Can't wait to hear the next song.

juankar replied 7th May 2026 - 4 months ago
I'm glad you liked it. With Odarka's voice, it's hard not to like something. I also used Odarka's voice for the second song, and for the third, I decided to create my own voice with AI, both for testing purposes and to express what I had in mind.

Best regards.

House isn't something I normally listen to, but I like to check out different genres and I definately appreciate music that I might not normally listen to. I like the track, expecially the vocals, they sit well in the mix. the song has a great vibe and feel to it, nice and upbeat and held my attention. Yeah, i like it.

juankar replied 6th May 2026 - 4 months ago
Thank you so much for your comment. The voice is Odarka's, a member of this community who sings spectacularly. Listening to her inspired me to create this, my first song. My favorite genres are Rock, Blues Rock, and Heavy Metal, but this genre is easier for me to learn. It would be impossible for me to make Rock music with a keyboard in a DAW, haha.
Best regards, Juan Carlos

For a first time in music creation, youve done extremely well! ODARKAs voice is beautiful. The dance track is really great as well, and I have to say I was impressed when I read that this is your first piece. Congratulations! If you continue like this, I believe we will soon hear great things from you.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I had just bought the PC, keyboard, etc., and I didn't know where to start. Odarka's voice inspired me, and this is what came out. I guess it was beginner's luck, haha. Cheers!

Thank you so much. These comments encourage me to keep learning, even if it's just simple things like this, with 7 or 8 tracks in the DAW at most. They help me learn how to structure a song, equalize, and master.

Im also 61 and in 2020 i start to learn how to make beats on Fl studio.It took a long time to remember where all the plugins are and what i can do with them.(and all the time i forget lol ) I diddnt do any mastering because i diddnt know how.Never in my life i didd something with music before .
Im not that good in making beats but i can make them without using loops. If i listen to your beat im sure you will be much faster then me. Learn how your daw is working and watch youtube videos to learn more.

juankar replied 23rd Mar 2026 - 5 months ago
I've been watching YouTube videos for about two months now to learn how to use Reaper and how to create a musical structure, and now I've finally dared to create something, based on a vocal track (Odarka). I've taken another vocal track from Odarka and I've almost finished the song, but the equalization and everything else is giving me a real headache, haha. I'll put it in today and upload it tomorrow, although I don't think it will be as good as this one.

Your first?? Well you didd a great job.Odarka's beautiful voice fits perfect.
The mastering sounds also realy good.

juankar replied 23rd Mar 2026 - 5 months ago
Thank you so much. Odarka's voice does everything in the song; for me, the voice is very important, and yours is beautiful. I still have a lot to learn, especially about mastering and equalization, which I know absolutely nothing about, haha.

Thank you so much for your comments. I think it was beginner's luck, haha. I've been trying to create another Odarka song for a few days now, and I just can't seem to get it right. I'm too embarrassed to post it.

Thank you so much. At my age, I just want to entertain myself with something I've always enjoyed but never learned, and now I can dedicate time to it. I wouldn't have uploaded the song if it weren't necessary to thank Odarka for this initial inspiration and to let her know I used her voice.

Hello juankar, this is really good my friend, Odarka 's vocal are superb as always and your music is a great fit for this first effort?.....hard to believe, its a great first effort.

juankar replied 19th Mar 2026 - 6 months ago
Thank you so much for your kind words, but as I already explained to AbnerB, all the credit goes to Odarka and a free loop I found. I contributed very little of my own work. But I'm currently working on another Odarka track where the rest is entirely my own.

MY FIRST TRACK WAS RECORDED IN A RADIO TAPE PLAYER ! and it was ruff '' great job, song and vocals. Don't rush your self you will learn more than you think, just keep making music and that will open more doors and ideas.

Thank you so much for your kind words, but all the credit goes to Odarka's voice and the loop I found in a free pack; I added very little else. I hope to continue learning on sites like this so I can create everything myself and add music to voices as amazing as this one.

Description : Ah this track. There's a little something for everyone in this, including some EDM inspired stuff. The Sewer Maawb's vibe is meant to invoke the hip hop and trap sound from 99-2012, and there are many influences in that timespan, one of those is Timbaland. Hope you enjoy it! Additional vocals by Rob Fame of The Monzder Squadd.

All I did was add some guitar that hopefully sounds like guitar but also doesn't... ;) I've been experimenting with pushing the sounds I can get from guitar to blend with electronic music.
