just listened again to your track. I can see that you have 3 piano tracks here - that one playing low chords is actually generating all that strangeness as there's no real bass line here.
Just wanted to point this out but I do not know how to really fix it (only You can do this). Maybe try working only on that single part alone and find a real bass line for the entire track. Bassline is always a foundation eventhough there's no actual instrument playing it.
There's so many people going for an 'effect' here (including myself) often disregarding the very basics.
I didn't mean really transposing your piano an octave higher (which would be probably very ridiculous-sounding), it's all about the piano chord voicings. If you play some of chord structures (voicings) too low on the piano it will sound very strange and harmonically unclear.
Hope some of this is useful.
Best, A.
P. S. tried to add many YT links but comment was refused
Yeah there isnt really any bass in this one, was pretty much just using the chords for it.
Well in my working version i did bump up the chords but i left a few notes down in the low chords, and it seemed to work, but had them at a lower velocity
If you check my loops the most latest one is the updated piano from the song...
Also about the bassline, yeah i agree think i need to find
one and implement it, because its not really got one haha
thanks again A for the advice,
this is why looperman is awesome for getting feedback on your songs :D
Generally, I do things dark, loud, and aggressive. So, when I hear other people do these chill out tunes, I really enjoy them. It's like taking a break from my own mind. This track provides an excellent backdrop for a temporary escape. To me, it has a very fluid, almost cool aquatic feel to it.
You said that you were thinking it's not finished. I agree with many of the others. There's really no need to do much else. I think the only idea I have, is to add forest noises. You know, Birds chirping, a stream, maybe an occasional buzz from a passing bee. But pan them all out to give them dimension.
I don't know. That may be a lame idea. Like I said, I usually do dark, loud and aggressive.
All in all, I like the track as it is. Excellent work.
The idea about the forest ambiance is cool, might use that actually. Wasn't going to add anything like that but now that i think of it, it could be quite cool... ill look into that.. thanks for the idea man! :D
"all in all, I like the track as it is"
yay :) lol im happy people seem to like this version.. it does have a few little quirks but ive fixed them in my working version (ill update soon)
Really like this one X...I really wouldn`t suggest you do much if anything to it...the minimal approach really works...everything sounds nice and clear...its the kind of easy listening stuff that just leaves you with a smile (I`ve been cluttering the hell out of my mixes lately...so I`m paying attention to what you have hear)...Its good listening over my way...really well done..Fav....Ed
Loving all these field recordings from space :D I must've missed the flight. I'm so stowing away on the next one! Sounds great :D If you feel some of the piano chords are too low just bump them up an octave, it really wont change the flavor of them just reduces some of the really low lows. I had to do that on a recent track.
I think you played some chords on piano too low (I mean a lower keyb. range). There's also too much processing added when going for a 'modern sound' - that very final 3:17 chord doesn't sound anymore like a real piano to me anymore. Probably there's too much of lower freqs in there, I do not know...
Yeah i totally agree. like phatkatz says up there^ maybe bumping it up an octave will help but ive tried that and it doesnt really give me the sound im looking for.. ill need to mess around with it and use some of the ideas in that forum and see what happens.
I absolutely agree with the others...beautiful work! It's already very good as it is. Ofcourse, there's always room for improvement and if you want to take it even on a higher level
I'm sure you will make it.:)
We -peoples- always have a willing to discover the outer space...
This is an outstanding journey from the outside! Have you been there?
For me it is one of the best soundscaping track from here...
Now that's just disturbing, I like 3:D> Now if those greys would just leave me alone!! I'm due to do another space tune :p I've done some for Alien Symbiosis project :D Do you have a link to this trailer? That'd be cool to see :p
I think its pretty good but I think if some of the synth leads were a bit less harsh it would be better, some piano and some phasers maybe a flanger? I love the fury part its pretty cool... some delay with claps or something in there with delay would make it better if it filled up some of the holes, but I understand it's not done of course just some feedback to make it be as good as possible... good job
yeah im working on trying to make the leads a little better and fill the track up a bit more , yeah the fury voccal is my favourite part of the whole track :D
Not a single melody you put out fails to intrigue me. Another great WIP from you that definitely leaves me looking forward to the end result :)
-EYEDYE
With a little chopping block work, creating a story line with the music
and an add here and there...
It could knock this out of the park... Well done...
Pretty nice fade in as intro, also the drum beat is nice.
For a one hour made track this is well made
My recommandation is make it longer as Mephod said by adding some great solo melodie with a violin for exemple so this will cut the repetitive effect and makes the track longer everyone will be happy !
