Description : It feels GREAT to be using the vocoder again. Its a little quiet in this track though, not much I can do about it.
I spent a fair while on this one, pretty much since I got back off holiday I've been working on this track and I'm glad to show it to you all. The best thing about this track is the FX at the start that morphs into the bass.
Hope you enjoy my first electronic track!

If you have time take a listen and give StephenPotter some feedback.
About the Vocoded stuff, you can bump 'em up by doubling/tripling the number of layers you have for them (ie, pan 1 100% left, middle centered, pan 3 100% right, & possibly bump up all by +3 on the mixer). And the FX are pretty nice. So is the stuttered piano. Beyond that, the only other thing I could suggest is maybe adding some distort to a copy of one of yer synths (to give it a faux Rock vibe, if ya wanna take this in a harder direction w/fiercer kicks, etc.). Anyways, cool stuff mate. Lates!
*** Update: any plan to finish this up? Could be quite a track! ***
Like floating on musical clouds! Nice work on this tune, very impressive, love the sweet break at 1:50 followed by well timed bass infusion at 2:04. I can tell you put some thought and energy into this, kudos. I want more!!! (and a DL will be icing on top) - DF/Jerome
Awesome track! You're right that morphing at the beginning is really cool! This song has a great groove to it! Very cool glitchy piano break, how did you do that? The vocoder sounds awesome! Very good work!
The piano break is me messing about with FL keys (I seem to be ignoring my downloaded vsts at the moment and focusing on the built in image line plugins) and the reverse and stutter FX are Dblue Glitch. The morphing is a great built in effect on kore player which you can put over the top of anything (I chose to put it over the bass)
Thanks for the review!

Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : 'The main point of this song is really about the frustrations of living in the overload of today's World of Tech. The consequences are impaired communication and that if you advance too far you end up diminishing what you had to start with, so you are way worse off.' Enjoy a 60s Rhythm with a modern deep Bass, a Sitar, a Piano from EvilPianist, a lost flute from UniverseHuston and some Oscillators :-)

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : NEON DRIVE is a smooth flowing electronic track with a steady progression. I hope it entertains you and creates a temporary dreamscape for you to get lost in.

This is a pretty old track, so the vocals are a little off in terms of volume, I know how to fix that now ;)
Anyways, glad you enjoyed it!

EDIT: Oh yes, I've got plans for this track, even if I just re-use the vocals, parts of this track are going places.
