beautiful synth and bell sounds

Yeah, one of the best piece in this genre for a long time ... absolute outstanding ... full of heart and feeling ...
hats off Z ...
Danke

Thanks for the info on the instruments, ZM. I'm on a Mac so can't use Sytrus or Directwave, but I do have equivalents in my arsenal. The key information you gave me, however, is that the bass sound I've been searching for is actually an 808 sound. I'm totally useless at discerning different EDM genres and, frankly, recognizing an 808 or 909 or whatever when I hear it. So, it was more helpful than you can imagine to learn from you that I should be focusing on searching for the 808 sound I want. I definitely can do that now, so thank-you for the guidance on that.

I was reflecting on this exchange with you last night and it occurred to me that we really could use a specialized forum area here on LM where members could ask for advice on how to do various things. I decided yesterday to experiment with side-chain compression on a sustained bass note (1 full bar), ducking the bass (triggered by the initial quarter note kick). I know how to do do this, at least I thought I did, but regardless of which compressor I use, I get a "click" sound from the bass at the outset of each "duck". I don't know what I'm doing wrong and there's no place to get advice on that from LM members who know more than I do. We need the LM forums back I think.

Wow this is truly touching my soul . Totally my style and it just brought me to a peaceful place . May your journey be filled with great adventures , Love it

Hi, ZM:

This track has such a dreamy, laid-back flow to it. Works really well. I liked the lo-fi treatment and the mix sounded great. Very well-balanced and different sounds/instruments were nicely distinct in the spectrum.

I would really like to know how/what you used to produce the bass sound. It's pretty much exactly what I've been trying to create myself, but haven't found the right VST or patch yet. Very smooth. Was perfect for the track.

Regards from Ottawa,

fantastic title, the stylus crackle just adds to what i was expecting, such as sad vibe from the intro. beautiful keys bro the melody is heart tearing and the drum works are oh so subtle, maybe i could write something touching and send you my vocal layout dry and you could engineer it and add it at a later time if you think its ok, your shout Zivon i wont be offended if you say no :))
off the top of my head, one listen

staring out windows
where does the time go
smelling the primrose
as the moonlit dim goes

chorus?

I really liked the chill flow with this track. The long and calm build-up sounded perfect.
Amazing work Z, really amazing.

Hi
This sounds very good.
Well done

Hi Zivonmusic,

WOW! this is one of the sweetest! electronic tracks iv heard so far on the loop, usually I'm not a fan of this genre though there are a few that has converted me :) this track is one that I have added to my fave, just such a delicious! track and well produced in it's entirety. Nice! Work Bravo!

Your own field recording to start? I like to do that. Beautiful track, delicate and gentle. When the bass and drums came in I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. But you left me hanging...

This whole track is sprinkled with a touch of beauty & in it's purist form, I closed my eyes & was transported somewhere so beautiful! how delightful! indeed and a breath of fresh air to hear something so sublime! on the loop, OUTSTANDING! Work, only wish it was slightly longer. Bravo!

The background voices add to a nice atmospheric track. I particular like the piano in this.

Just beautiful, a pleasure to listen to. Enhanced my Monday morning mood perfectly.

Ambiance to chill hop brilliant!
So soothing u putting me to sleep.
Refreshing track to the ears!

For the most part, I love it. I have to agree with Dimestop on the panning. If you really want to keep it try toning it down or using a different pan pattern.

i really dig the lighting and texture, i don’t know the universe but you certainly met what you were going for. imaginative, intriguing.

Beautiful, dreamy ambience. You got me with this one, but then I'm a sucker for good ambient music. Great stuff, thoroughly enjoyed. Zoot.

nice synth works Zivon the vocal is cool nice melody and beat too its short and ends abruptly but you were just having fun, i would remove the panning thats on the melody section tho, but thats just personal choice

Hey, Zivon! I agree with Manuela. A very beautiful composition. I don't know how most LM members listen to tracks here, but on my headphones (which are pretty good) the music just envelopes you like a warm blanket. Piano melody line was excellent and I especially like the cello parts, which really added to overall mood and feel of the music. Mix sounded great. I really like to hear dynamic range in tracks, not just everything jammed up to the brick wall limit. That variation was evident just from looking at the waveform display.

Really nicely done.

Regards, from snowy Ottawa.

Amazing work, haven't heard from you in a while. Listening to your spotify on a regular basis and looks as though a lot of people are enjoying your music.

You simply have to have a talent, an intuition, a feeling for what sounds, fits together, belongs to each other. IT must live in you, IT must "simply" be there.

Technique can be learned, sometimes well, sometimes not so well.

The IT cannot be learned...

Sincere compliment.

What up Z? Nice come back track. I'm assuming the ducking effect was intentional. Very smooth chill vibe. PEACE. T576 OUT.

nice work bro, dope vibe, like the use of fx delay and reverb, it sounds like you've consolidated the track then layered the melody again but reversed it, fantastic technique if im right it can give surprising results. it can be done with vocals too. great production although a little disappointed in the finish, lots of work put in but to finish it lazy nah, your better than that Z

sounds great. had my head noddin for sure nice job
