nice done ! like that the melody sound is kinda "trapped" and the sound in the background like a frog is stuck in my head! great relaxing track!

Keep up the good work!

Yeah man, this is a sweet song! My wife got too stoned last night and is sleeping in so I decided to just get out the headphones. I'm glad I did, as this has some nice stereo effects going on! I agree with others that the primary drums could come up in the mix a little, though the bongo part seems at a pretty good level. Great use of the vocal clips! The bass is perfect for a dub style song, and the delay effects and stuff just add to that vibe. Really enjoyed listening, glad you're having fun with your drum machine! Faved!

Hi. Very good for a second track.

Everything sits well and in time, key etc etc.

Drums are decent though they seem quite in the background and I'd turn them up a fair bit. Groove still works even with those low key drums.

Bongo type percussion is good when it comes in and an interesting change.

Bass is classic dub and I can't rally fault it.

Vocal samples work well. Brass is the main melodic element and one I like.

Decent enough length though not sure what else to suggest except a better, more conclusive ending.

Congratulations...

Hi,

Nice reggae sounds, good beat, music and vocals. For me it could have done with being slightly faster..but that's just me and you may have wanted it to be a slower tempo song. Either way a good job.

Best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

This is excellent! I love Salook's work, and the two of you seem to work well together! It's a really groovy dub sounding composition, and I like that! Your vocals are killer! Personally I think the reverb sounds nice for this style, and the bass stands out pretty well on my system. Thanks for sharing!

I agreed with Static aswell. if you get fix the mix and vocals you gonna have a great song, Play with dynamics and try to stereo some of the instruments so it doesn't sound like its fighting with the vocals and verb.

I agree with Static that the mix needs some improvement and less re-verb, but it has promise, sort of an old-school trip-hop song I think?

Hi. I prefer your vocals on this one to the Moment With You vocals. It's quite a strong, simple line and sounds relaxed and not as though you're forcing it.

First big problem is the reverb on the vocals. Just doesn't quite sound right though not terrible.

More of a problem is the mix. Too much movement, too busy, too crowded.

I like the simple dub bass but we're not getting to hear it enough due to the crowded mix.

Strip down (maybe remove) some of the percussive loops and/or take some of the reverb off them.

I like the guitar on 0:23.

Overall, I think it's a decent chill dub track but needs to be stripped down. I'd also like it to progress into something else because, as it is, it feels too long. That's probably because there's not enough variety.

Use of the guitar is good. Some more of that would help give it a more distinctive character and identity.

Good luck if you and Salook are able to continue working on it.

thanks again for the honest feedback stacic. once again duely noted. on this occasion i quite like the businees but its all reletive and thats why we do this. i will bear your'e points in mind for future productions. as a matter of fact i have just started something kinda similar so i will be aware not to make it quite so full. cheers again bro.

Last time I listened, I thought the layered vocals really interfered with each other so I applaud you removing some of those layers.

Definitely makes for a less cluttered mix.

I'll be more honest than I probably need to be and say I'm not keen on lots of the vocals though I guess that's just my taste so doesn't really matter. Lots of other people here seem to like them so don't worry about it.

Good work.

cosmicinfluence replied 3rd Jan 2014 - 12 years ago
hey static. thanks for the feedback. think it was way too cluttered aswel. and i wouldn't expect anything but honest feedback, otherwise what is the point. i did wonder what u weren't keen on though. was it just the production value or was it the words, or just the general vibe of the vocals.

Overall, good work here.

Did you mix the vocals into a master of the instrumental, or were you able to get all of the individual stems of the instrumental and then mix in the vox? I have a hunch you were given the completed instrumental and then had to add/layer vocals over the top of an already mixed and mastered track. If so, you did a good job getting the vocals to sit where they needed to in the mix.

Great flow on the rap portion....the singing vocals seem to need a little more "texture" (maybe warm them up just a bit). Overall, a really nice effort and I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for posting.

You did a real nice job on this track. If you ever want somebody to master a track or add effects hit me. I've always wanted to master someone else.

hey bro. thanks alot. at some point during my next hip hop track i will get in touch. would love to you get involved in taking the sound quality to the next level. hey you never know you might even feel like adding some of your own lyrical flow, i be down with that bro. cheers.

The music itself is a bit trippy and when you add the layered vocals it really is a musical journey. I can certainly appreciate the effort that went into all the vocal tracks. Great job, interesting track!

This vocal part is super creative from you...DJ told everything about the technical backup (what I don't understand 50 %...this my amateur problem :-), so you have a chance for the pro prod...

Peace, Danke
