Description : Hey guys,
I've been working on this song for awhile now. I LOVE the lyrics and the main melody, but the rest of the song is just not taking the direction I want it to. I'm stuck and I don't know what to do! "/ It's missing something, has no life. I'm not sure what it's missing and i'm getting so frustrated. I know it needs to mastered and such but that's not the problem. Please tell me what it's missing or what I should change to give it that extra umph! If I can't figure it out maybe i'll just let you guys have the acapella and make something outta it "/ just don't want this song to go to waste, so any ideas, thoughts, comments, are welcome! :D
UPDATE: The acapella is now up for grabs on here, I've given up on this project. I wanna hear what you do with it please! :)

I love your voice and the beat. I think you could add a few more beats that would give it more of a club feel. I think some back-up singers in some parts will help the track as well. Try adding some sound FXs in a some areas, it doesn't have to be much. What do you think?
I did a slight adjustment on your track. It is good. You may need to add some additional instrumental support. The beat is repetitive which could explain the lack of lift. Send me an email address and I can send you the mix. It's got more bass, but there is also some minor vocal audio clips. I'll send what I was able to muster in twenty minutes.
I like the vocals and melody, but it just needs some bottom end....bass and a kick drum.
I have used your accapella "top secret" in a track I produced called....you guessed it...."Top Secret". That might give you an idea for some bottom end sounds. I am happy to help with the acapella or the track if you send me a copy.
This does have potential, so don't be too quick to throw in the towel.

is the other way around actually this song needs "bridges" that can connect the choruses , this song idea is just a series of choruses perfect for a catchy dance tune but if you want to build a pop tune you need to put some extra lyrics to connect your choruses.
First of all the vocals are great..I think the drums should've come in with your voice, along with a bassline. Your right about it sounding like it has no life, I'm trying to figure out why! haha. I think the main beat has to be changed up when the chorus comes in. I might grab your pella and work on it!
as U kNOW Ur vOCALS r exPLiCabLe vERY sOFt buT hAS fEEl the bEAT IS AS yOu expLAiND my advice since its dance song and a lil livliness 2 wit some cybals or hit hit . but great job thoughoh and if ur puttin vocals up i would like 2 know were i can find them
I would say that u need to arrange the beat a bit better, drop that arppregiated synth now and again, and that would give ur melody more life, plus a good mix would help out with the overall life...... if u cant figure it out, i would def like to give ur acapella a go
the vocals are nice but i would say get a more driving bass or some synth pads going to fill it out. Also it sounds a bit discordant at points. also up the bass on your kick a bit more! nice track though
Def needs a chorus. Sounds like the track is building and building. I was waiting for the chorus to come in. Needs a chorus for sure and mabey some sort of breakdown.
the chorus is supposed to be the part that goes "oh were going out tonight, you got me feeling right, etc." guess it's not obvious "/ I'm just about ready to throw in the towel on this one
Good song, pretty vocals :)
I could maybe suggest adding some kind of strings in the middle of the song, to give it that extra bulkiness to support the vocals, sounds really good though

Description : I have been using LooperMan for practice for some time now. This my most recent track. The only loop in the song is BabyGee's vocals. Free to download and if you repost tag me so I can share it as well.
Description : A psychedelic techno cello epic. It's not really techno as it's only 110 BPM but something like that (eg breakbeat), with lots of banging beats and arpeggiated acid synths, plus a whole load of my layered cello playing techniques. There aren't that many synths used but they do a lot of work and are carefully automated. No guitar. Drums are mostly a lot of drum loops, supported by a few programmed acoustic drumkits. Very busy and complicated with loads of different sections (funky, chilled, fast, heavy) that make up a constantly progressing trip. I don't know if there's any other cello music like this so let me know if you think there is. Interesting feedback appreciated - criticism, praise, ideas etc. Enjoy...
Description : Summer type dance track, for those precious 2 weeks off, if you can get them! Made around a selection of different loops and some keys from me.
Description : Inspired by an experimental percussion piece I heard. Rhythmic ticking builds into pounding beats and heavy soundscapes. I haven't done any mixing or mastering yet so tell me what you think. Any and all comments are welcome.
Description : A song about a damaged soul. Sadly, based on a true story. Gorgeous loops here are by Hardstyle Rythm, Aboe, and Princess Hollywood. All basslines by that fiendish genius Rasputin. Take a bow, gentlemen

Keep it up, my friend.
