on Im on my grind by wordybum

From the beginning, the beat is classic in style. I realize that it is not your work, but it sounds good. Then we move on to your performance, which is equally classic! If I still was doing loop radio shows, I'd be all over this in the set list. I feel a bit of christian undertone here, which I can fully forgive since there is also a heaping teaspoon of artistry added to the recipe. All in all, this has been a great listening experience, so much so that I played it twice. Great work!

The reason you feel the drums are sucking away from the vocals is because the snare and kick are centered while the vocal seems to be shifting around the stereo space and combating for frequency space (see below paragraph). You may want to have a mono vocal center-panned and have the effects on another track and blend the two until you get the effect you're looking for. A slight more compression may help as well, with a faster attack. This will let the vocal remain more balanced between syllables and reduce the percieved effect that the drums are overpowering the voice.

The track itself is solid. You may want to try scooping the instrumental (using equalization) down by maybe 1dB near 3-4kHz and boost that same frequency by 1dB in your vocal track so that your voice cuts through the spectrum more effectively.

on Idle Mind by wordybum

I've always admired those who can lay down raps like this. You've done it well. I guess it's something to aspire to, even though I'm old now. This goes well with my hand made clove pipe smoke and Russian ale. My first time making soy milk from scratch and drying okara in the oven has made me feel hardcore, or I should say even more... so this sort of track is just what I needed to hear. I pressed play again, hoping I could focus on the lyrics better this time, but I see that you have allowed downloads, so I will be doing that! I did not used to believe in demons, however with the state of society now, I can't help but believe that demons are what control our system. I have even been toying with the ideas that the are demons which have been purged from an alien society who saw an opportunity on earth. (Star Trek TNG anyone?) Either way, this is an exquisite expression, and you should be proud! Dig it! Fave!

dude, thanks so much for listening to the track and appreciating the lyrics. this is one of my favorite tracks to-date. it's not your every day run of the mill hip hop track and the attack was meant to be happy/positive, almost as if the narrator is inviting these little demons to stick around for a bit.

after reading your thoughts and outlook on this subject i think i may write a song from that perspective, from the aliens acting as inner demons.

thanks for the inspiration.

Wow this blew my mind and actually brought a little tear to my eye....it was a very powerful piece and I don't have any criticisms.

on the final conflict by wordybum

Hey there guys! After having quite some listens to both versions in comparison to give a better opionion i've come to the following :)

The mix DJ Stephskillie made deff is a nice new approach on this track. Chapeau!

However, if i may be so free, personally i do like the original voice of yours better then the slightly changed 'God part voice' used here. Theres an 2nd voice layer on the God part where i doubt if its needed for the full verse. Possibly it may sound better as in 'less is more' idea on some of the end wordings.

For example:
3:08 'Great Cannons'
3:11 'In just 1 week'
3:19 'They say god is greedy, god is cool'
Are perfect for the layer, but some parts in between may sound better without.

I hope i made myself clear atleast haha. As this genre is not my hometown, please dó read my comment as being from a average person instead of musician/producer/DJ/Artist for this genre.

To express myself maybe better, now its an solid 8 for me, with the change it could be a 9 for my ears.

I love the 'Devils voice vs God voice changes which is cool and i would suggest keeping in it.

Awesome production, keep it up!

on Return of the king by wordybum

Wauwawewaa! You're good man! Your voice reminds me of sounding close to Fort Minor. You reminded me in this on Fort Minor - Remember The Name

And i mean that as an compliment ;)

wordybum replied 17th Aug 2016 - 9 years ago

thanks so much for the listen and the great feedback! i get Mike Shinoda comparisons here and there, so i never take it as anything other than a compliment.

check out the rest of my tracks, feel free to DL all of it and spread the word.
