Description : (26/12) 123 bpm

I was inspired to give it a try and submitted a demo, but now, 5 months later, I still don't see any comments indicating work based on this song. So I adjusted my demo a bit; I tried to remove some ticks, shortened the track by 16 bars, rearranged my lyrics, and edited my vocals.

I hope you like the result, enjoy!

Thanks Robin, glad you like it. Tempo was laid by Joseph and the vocals are of the lazy kind, one vocal recording track for it all, even more perfect would be a track/take for every voice (in this example 6 separate in stead of 1 FX'ed into multiple). Lets see if I find the time to do it properly for "Nightfall" :)

Frans!! Die is top!! The guitar playing is also top notch and it's great to hear your own honest vocals (with a bit of effect). Great stuff my friend!

Thanks Boudewijn, glad you like it.
As mentioned, the music is from Joseph Shay.
And my vocals, well its actually 5 tracks.
1) Recording track with takes that gets corrected by ReaTune (manual correction) and the output is not going to master but is routed into 3 separate tracks that route after FX to a folder track (or bus).
2) The folder track (or bus) receives the audio from the 3 vocal tracks (3,4,5) and applies FX: ANINA (=Spectral Resonance Suppression) + Raum [Vocal Hall] and routes to master.
3) My voice in the middle FX: Neo [Vocals Clean], Raum [Voice Warmer] and routes to folder track.
4) Fem voice on the left FX: time delay [+20], ReaEQ (duck the low end, and raise the middle a bit), ReaPitch (pitch+12st, formant-11st), Raum [Vocal Hall] and routes to folder track.
5) Girls voice on the right FX: time delay [-20], ReaEQ (duck the low end), ReaPitch (pitch+12st, formant-10st), JS: Ozzifier Chorus (4 voices), Raum [Voice Warmer] and routes to folder track.
The time delay - and + together with the pan creates a bit of stereo wideness in the voices.

As extra; the folder track is side-chained to the music track to use ANINA to suppress the frequencies in the music that exist in the singing, so not side-chaining active filtering using and EQ that ducks a frequency range, even ducking what is probably not even in the vocal. And ANINA is free, not even a registration needed.

A long time ago, in other songs, I did even better; up to 7 vocals and tracks, creating slight vocal changes by changing the DAW speed before recording of each voice, but that takes a huge amount of time and effort ;)

Well, enough background info for one day ;)

One Word Frans - BEAUTIFUL.
ars align,
Feel the brine,
Moments shine,
Hearts entwine.

Dreamy, emotional lyrics and they are so well written

Performance style feels very personal and stripped back. This is One of your very best

Thanks Kay, glad you like it.
I gathered many verses from the internet then cherry pick for the lyrics. I'm a left brainer, no problems with protest songs, but feelings and emotion?

Description : I'm gonna file this under Drum and Bass due to the beats I used. Though it's probably not DnB in the strictest sense of the word, as it starts off with a Cinematic vibe till the beats kick in (apologies for that, as I don't have a vast knowledge of DnB!). Apart from the beats and a couple of other loops, all synth/bass parts are played by me using ThornCM, Poly Max and Z3ta+ vst's. Let me know what you think? All feedback is always appreciated. Thanks.
