Description : It was an epic internal battle to decide whether or not I wanted to upload this very old track that actually has lyrics, with me actually singing. The answer I finally decided was yes, in all of it's poorly mixed and unmastered glory. I lost the WAVs for this track after one of the many computer crashes I had endured since it was made, so I can't go in and play with any levels of anything unless I resing it, and that isn't going to happen.

I made this track late one night in October of 2008, which seems longer now than it actually was, considering how much better I have become at fine tuning mixes and whatnot.

I am sure those of you who know me on the forums hear me say time and again that I am no vocalist, and this track really proves that point. I think in all sincerity I could do it better if I had a sound proof room and a lot of time to kill, but I just don't like the nasally tone of my voice, so I don't really care to try. I DID NOT USE AUTOTUNE ON THIS TRACK. The only thing I can attribute the wavering in my voice to is the fact that it was really late and people were sleeping, so I had to do this really quietly. There are however, a two filters, a lot of reverb,and some delay, to mask the poorly sung vocals. Try not to judge them to harshly, they are what they are, and I don't presume them to be anything great. The rest of the track though, I am fairly proud of. I like all the counterpoint going on, and the subtle instruments that you sometimes can't hear because they are so buried in the mix, but, when I tried long ago to take them away, it was really noticeable.

With all that said, here it is, my first and last attempt at doing a full track (vocals included) by myself.

I still have the original lyrics, if anyone thinks they can do this song better, I still have the flp file, which means I can send you a version and the lyrics for you to sing, if you are so inclined.

Thought it was pretty good, reminded me of old new wave bands from the 80s. Your vocals were alright, I think with a little practice and some confidence with your singing you could do a lot better, it really wasn't that bad!! The vocals fit the music nicely, ya, old song but it was cool.

Thank you for the kind words, humps. I actually have started to get better at singing, thanks to friends bringing me to Karaoke nights and buying me many, many rounds until I go up there and sing. After awhile I started doing it sober. I think I can sing a lot better now, but not the style befitting the track.

Great idea. First the mix is interesting. I think you have many things going on in the front. Not all the sounds should be so bright and in your face. The vocals are ok. I know your situation so we wont get into this. But this might be a fun project to remix.

Yeah, if someone wants to redo the vocals, I'll actually mix the song better, but until I get that offer, I'm just gonna keep it at this and be proud of how far I have come.

Description : Basically, this track was made back in the day when I was a HUGE Electro House (Especially, Big Room) fan. I was inspired by the track LRAD by Knife Party but I ended up with this piece of poopie. I'm not even trying to produce EDM anymore but I just wanted to share this since I spent a lot of time on this. Positive/Negative comments are all welcome! Thanks!

Description : A long time goal of ours was to produce an Electroswing song. Mercury Retrograde means that your day is actually spoiled with problems (If you believe in Astrology) due to the fact that Mercury seems to rotate in a different direction. Thank you 8keey,1Eig8ty and Baby Vice Beats for the loops. And now: Please Start to swing :-)

Description : THIS was one of my first tracks i made for the looper fam. I was not sure whatkind of genre it realy is, so i named it electro.
I used only samples i found on looperman. I did a vocal line by myself and mixed all in a way i liked it. Hope that you also like what i had done.

Just tell me what you think.

Loops i used in this song:

From Anubis.
drum loop puzzle.
snares army.
drum of escape.
flute and violin.
marimba bells.

From Xelaplus.
legato choir.

From BrandonBergman.
Hey loop.
----This is cool on headphones but better dont start to loud, cause it beginns very powerfull--- english translation included in lyrics
