I like the japanese pop feel a lot. my x was a big anime fan and this track reminds me of some of the opening songs to the anime productions - like kenshin, gundam, dragonball, etc. when the vocal would be female. You did a great job creating a fresh style incorporating some of those japanese pop elements. congrats!
That beat has a definite retro feel back from the latin sound in the late eighties. The vocal treatments are awesome and the mix and production is top notch. great job!

Love the vocoder sounds and the flow going from the synth to the vocals, the beat feels a little disco-ish at parts with the vocoded vocals and style of drums, great track, keep it up man
Stutter intro is decent but then you drop a fat beat and bassline on 0:08. That really caught my attention.
0:26 right panned distorted lead is cool and there's another droning synth sound going on plus fun effects on the vocals. Vocaloid processing? Sounds like a vocoder.
1:10 an accordion?
This is good fun and pretty unusual. You've done a lot of different creative stuff in just the first minute.
Creative synth work all sits nicely with the vocals, doesn't interfere.
This could be a pumping track in a club.
Definitely some leftfield rap. Can't really say it's hip hop. More of a dance music vibe than that.
Is certainly not vocaloid, this is all Rockymutto that you hear (exept the stuttering), it is indeed a vocoder.
the 'accordion' that you hear is just a cheap synth with a pitch wheel.. I should have used an accordion xD that's genious man, I might use it in a next track haha.
Vocaloid sounds like pretty cool software. I've just had a look at the relevant website.
Far out, trippy, dreamy intro with that fluttering synth. Something a bit 70s prog rock about it but more modern and electro. Also kind of dirty cool, slightly vocally bassline.
0:35 cool noise in that drum fill.
Then into a very sparse and simple drum groove and those magical vocals. The panning stands out. Maybe it's a little odd or maybe it's just different. One voice in the left ear, another in the right but not panned as far to the right.
Again: very distinctive vocals. I wonder if most Vocaloid stuff sounds like this. I'm sure I could make good use of such software so will have a think about getting it.
You keep your instrument lineup pretty much the same throughout the track but they're good sounds. Maybe you could add some reverb to the drums to make things go a bit bigger in the second half?
Making this song was for me an excersize about using vocals and vocoders.
usually vocaloid songs really dont sound like this,
also I made the normal vocaloid vocals first and over 2 of them I also used a Vocoder.
usually vocaloid songs are the hyperactive chipmunk sounds that you usually hear in anime songs for example (not really but kinda) (for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtdvIKgQ5As skip to 00:45 and listen for about 10 seconds or so))
anyhoo again thanks for the kind words man, I appreciate!
My personal opinion is to not split your vocal line
you can sidechain if you want to be have 2 vocals with different effects
but man, why you dont use effects on your first vocal line? thats crazy
every vocal line should be have mastering
roll off and compression is necessary for vocals
its ok if you want to split your vocal lines but dont leave your first vocal line unaffected
Oh I must have misspoken. I certainly do not leave the any vocal unaffected. Just on the mono i use less then on the side since i want to hear them more clearly in the middle versus the side. I dont know on the top of my head what effects i used on the mono part. But there is a lot but very delecate
Okay so i will glad to write something to help you:
we have three phases of mastering:
roll off
compresion
2nd equlize for brighting (EQ)
widing
harmonic exciter (tube-tape-retro)
reverb
maximize
overview
first, what you need to be have a great vocal line is certainly "Roll Off"
Roll off means removing some additional frequencies
for example for male singer you should remove frequencies above 15000Hz and lower than 90Hz (its variable for each singer)
you can easily use a parametric equalizer for this
and some of them has a box which can show you which range of frequencies are additional like Fruity loops parametric EQ2
(which i use)
second thing you need for vocal line is compression
for example if singer shouts a lot in the vocal line
you should be have compression
it makes your vocal line's volume fixed
but sometimes for example you have a rock vocal line which has a lot of shouting and up and down
so you have to limit your vocal line with a limiter
but be careful, cuz limiting and compression should be average, not much and not low
if you have a loud vocal line after limiting, i suggest you to turn the volume down
and the last thing you should do, (except effects like delay, reverb, chorus and etc ) is widing
lemme give you an example,
if a guitar player play guitar in front of you in about 1 meters distance, you hear the guitar sounds loud
but if he goes far about 10 meters, you hear sounds lower
so the widing is same distance
its effective on volume, "but its not the volume"
I dont know what is the plugin in your daw for widing
and if you dont have one, I will be glad to send you one
but the only thing you should do for this track
is to "unwide" your vocal line with a widing plugin
Many thanks for the info man.
I deffinitly roll off first followed by a compressor.
As for the widening. This term is kinda new to me. But what i have done is for ,exampletaking one vocal line and splits that into one fully mono and one fully stereo, then over the stereo one use delays ect and side chain so i dont affect the mono part. I will re read the stuff u just gave me when i am at home when i have more time.
Thanks, great to hear!
I am no proffessional at mastering,
Still in the learning phase. Sometimes i notice the vocals are way too loud and sometimes way too soft. Still figuring out how to solve that.
Nice sound here my friend, gets going around 1:05 then back to chillout. I think it would sound equally as good as an ambient chillout type track!? Anyways well done.
Hey man, I love ambient :D
I always try to put a hint of it in my tracks,
my older songs of the previous acerbus album are more ambient orientated.
Thanks for the comment!
While I like the idea of the song, aside from it's overly pop influences, I do not think that this is live. Since your description does not state where or how it was recorded, then I think this sort of negates the L I V E in the title. No part of it sounds live, and the crowd sounds seem contrived to give the impression of live. I know that this is not easy to make believable, so you should be proud of that aspect. I just couldn't help but call BS. If I am entirely wrong, you can feel free to correct me.
You are absolutely right about the pop genre, since I mostly make pop based music, and also about that it is not live.
I have never mentioned that this song is actually live. The name of the song is Enter Streets L.I.V.E.
Purely a song i made for fun with a theme that imitates a live performance. I think it is clear that all the shouts are exactly the same on this tracks, since I used samples. Same goes for the fireworks.
This is a random homemade song like most of the songs uploaded here.

try to unwide your loud part
then turn the volume of your effected part down and wide it
