WIP Keylime Pie - DonnieVyros

Description : Greets mates. This marks my first major project since Home-A-Loan (in Jan). Just got outta college for the summer last week and it was causin me to run around like crazy for the past few months. Now that I've got some free time again I decided that I'd hit the lab again...-....-... Though the track sticks to a genre that I'm pretty good with it utilized a rather unorthodox method of creating the key sequences. And believe it or not, I'm only about a third of the way done with what I want to do for this track. (currently only has half of the drums, bass and pads, 2 chans per)...-... The song's name came randomly because of the song's texture and the different way I crafted the synths. Sorry, no downloads for the mo (but if you're a friend who'd like to maybe collab on this, shoot me a message and I'll reply with the files). Also, this track hasn't been mastered really at all (just FYI). Suggestions on mixing or the mixdown are more than welcome. Hope yall dig this lil experiment. Lates!

Loved the intro, had an "Andromeda Strain" feel to it (that's where it took me, anyways). Actually, I could see this piece being used in a new reinterpretation of that movie (not that awful tv one, that sucked), but a version with a half descent budget and acual actors.

Interesting, I like the way you dropped the beat in the intro, made it fade towards the middle and came back strong with that bass. The bass is the best part of this beat, where do you get your bass loops?

Cool deal mate. I seem to have a knack when it comes to both of those (since I've been messing with 'em the longest). And to answer your question, all of those bass loops were hand rolled (midi piano roll). There are 3 sequences in all, which one were you most interested in? Later on!

From the start of it i can feel a broad connection of the elements in here and i think it's well compiled so far. It gives me a pleasant, quite a relaxing mood. Can't really describe it, but the feel of it is different from what I've listened to today. I find it a perfect background for contemplation and idealistic thinking, partially due to it's brown, balanced vibe. Maybe I'm just in the mood for that, yet somehow this is exactly what I wanted to hear. I like how you break the borders here, if to describe it, like i personally describe my own work for my self, it's very free in the sense of breaking away from any self set limitations, I guess you know what you're doing. It's only recent that I try to really finish off my tracks before release though. As for mixing suggestions, the vocals by Dirty Vegas seem fitting and can really put the current melody in it's rightful place in my opinion. Overall I just really enjoy this one, it would probably go well with a wide variety of things, am curious how it will sound with further changes.

Actually, I only half-know what I'm doing, haha. That's a technique I often employ- go into a project with one eye closed, as it were... Makes for better results I've found. To always mess with some unknown, from an effects combination I've never done before to mixing different genres together to see how it plays out or fooling around with a completely new and alien genre.
The structure of this is simple and is based on the midi grid of 32 counts (grid spaces) per measure. Divide that puppy down and you have the makings for each section of the song. I use 1 full measure for the pads and 1/16th for the bass. The "Brown vibe" probably comes from the formula I used for the key placement (since its commonly found in nature and throughout the universe). As for the Dirty Vegas vocals idea, I rather like it and may know just the person to ask for help with that. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Hey Man! Nice stuff you got going in this track! The combination of instruments and sounds in here is very cool and works into making this track a unique upbeat as well as slightly melancholic track :) Nice ideas put into good use truly creating something different and special ;)
Keep it up!

Wow great beats, especially with those bongos! I really like the simplicity of the bass lines, they're very straightforward! For some reason this is kind of a haunting track, I think it must be those drawn out synths. Great job holding my interest with this one! Faved for sure!
DonnieVyros
DonnieVyros replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I suspect that haunting quality could come from the mathematic connection this song has through the formula I used. And those bongos were pretty sweet, I'll agree. My favorite aspect of this is the 3 basslines I used (the last one in particular... the bouncy/housey quality they have). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Very well done. Especially I like it the intro. But then it lacks of a dark-sounding wobbling, sweeping, pumping synth bassline, IMO. Just an idea.
Keep the good work. cheers

Prech the feedback mate. That's actually a pretty solid idea. Maybe I could go back n tweak 1 of the 3 basslines I used for this track (subbing it out with one more on the mark with what you were talkin about). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Interesting track Donnie. I'm not well versed in this style of music but I really thought it was creatively put together. I liked the purcussion especialy the bongos, they're one of my favorite purcussion instruments. I thought the mix sounded good. Sorry if I can't help with the technical aspects of it but I thought it was a cool track. Well done, great listen.

No worries mate. This was one of those projects that got sidelined (as usual, haha). I was trying something different here (using numbers for notation). There's only a couple of other things I was thinkin about addin to it, but never did. The percs were chosen coz they added a fun element of flavor I thought. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Some cool stuff man, loving the SpiderDJ pic too! Haha! I've been on here for about a year and a half but been silent for about a year, so you're probably thinking "who's this guy?". So hi. Looking forward to some more stuff.

Yeah, the pic was funny, coz I wasn't even planning on modeling for anyone that day. And the props were orig intended for others to use. (shrugs) It was cool & kinda funny at the same time. As for the other, it's cool bruv- alotta people do that. I joined back in mid-07, but didn't really get involved until spring 08. Lates!

Description : Grunge, Gospel and Latino vibes track... I tried using my voice as a guitar by using some heavy distortion. I need to write a song to this but I'm too lazy and want to move on to the next project lol

Description : A blend of heavy bass, melodic piano vibes, and atmospheric synth textures. I wanted to create a sound that balances powerful low-end energy with emotional melodies and subtle sonic layers.
I'm still learning and improving my production skills. I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on the overall sound, mixing, bass balance, melody, and arrangement.

This is one of my latest experiments in EDM production. Hope you enjoy listening!

Description : Hey everyone, I'm sharing my new track with you. The main motif comes from a sample by Mike Hayes titled "Lament." I added a few extra touches, some drums, and vocals from the phonk genre-I thought it would be an interesting fit. Let me know how it sounds!
