ok, the bottom is definitely punchier. don’t kill me but i hear less presence on the guitar/organ and i really miss that. i applaud you studying with 2sisters, don’t get me wrong. mastering is an art that leaves me in the weeds, there’s too much specialized tweaking! but i learn lots listening to you guys applying it. keep going!

Hard to compare without being able to flick between the two versions. But the mix and production certainly sound good. Bright enough and great definition. Lucky you!!

Ik heb de versie met weinig niet gehoord maar deze klinkt inderdaad goed met de bass.Lekker vlot nummer.
Ja die meiden hebben wel de ervaring.
Kunnen we nog veel van leren

What a happy beat, my feet can't sit still! Being older, I can remember all the music from the 70's, the funky, disco music that was so popular. This brings me back to those days. The guitar strumming was great. Did you use a wah wah or volume pedal on it? Well done!

BaoBou replied 7th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago
Thanks a lot Wayne! The guitar has a mini-wah, but I then added a wah effect in Ableton to make it a bit stronger.

And Manuela remastered it and made everything better... :)

High octane fun, great stuff. That lead guitar at the start is on fire. Vox and harmonies are right on. My only complaint is the fast fade out...
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 5th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago
Haha yes, I thought about this. It can probably take either another chorus or maybe some giant finale with brass and screaming guitars etc.

Or maybe a fade to just bass and drums :)

Hey BaoBou, cool track, nice drum sound. It's a little different than your previous material, but also definitely worth listening to. I like your singing, your voice more and more. And your guitar work is convincing as always.
Cheers,

BaoBou replied 11th Feb 2024 - 2 years ago
Thanks a lot Micky!

It's funny, this track is quite different from what I usually make... and it's doing better than most trakcs I usually make :D

It's now remastered and should be out on streaming soon!

This has a Synthwave feel to it. Coincidentally, as I have just uploaded a Synthwave track - the first one I have tried. I like this style, very retro and nostalgic. Love the guitar,I haven't read the comments but is the guitar your own piece? Best wishes.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 19th Nov 2023 - 2 years ago
Yessir! If you hear a bass or guitar it's mine, generally keys or midi instruments will be mine, and if the drums sound sh!t they're also mine. If they sound good it might be a sample, as in this track ;)
The samples I used are one humming sound in the background, and a sort of scream/cry~ish sound you hear in the beginning and the end. The terrible vocals are mine ;)

Hey Baobou
Zeker wel iets anders dan we van je gewend zijn maar is daar zeker niet minder om.
Ik vind het einde ook heel leuk gedaan.
Je stem is altijd duidelijk en goed verstaanbaar.
Wat dat betreft ben je ook wel heel goed in het afmixen.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 19th Nov 2023 - 2 years ago
Dank je! Ja ik wou aan het eind dat gevoel geven van als je half slaapdronken wakker wordt en je weet eigenlijk niet goed wat er gebeurd is. Was het echt? Of een droom?

on EP2 - Clouds are gathering outside by BaoBou
Hey, really great elements in the track!
sounds harmonic, expected a bit more punch in the kick and a more dancy vibe, send me the guitar front and in the background and im creating something with this if u want to :)
all in all Great work - listened to a couple of tracks of yours
keep it up! :)

BaoBou replied 9th Feb 2024 - 2 years ago
Hey, sorry I missed this!
The track is now remastered and I think it has a bit more punch now :)

very different from you Bou, its got groove still but the electronic work was a surprise, nice guitar though and the vocal is cool too bro, nice job
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 18th Nov 2023 - 2 years ago
It's funny, I've been experimenting with new stuff for the past weeks but most of it still ended up very close to home... but this one happened more or less by accident and the result is I think really different and exciting.
My next track will probably be just more funky guitars but it's cool to have this voice too.
Danke

hey BB, well yes i was drifting along and the groove quickly intensified, then out of a brief respite this agonized, alarming voice. i’m shaken awake, alone. damn, this is a very convincing song, man. you’re really flexing out your sounds and it’s clear you’re enjoying it, and i thank you for sharing it, bud.

BaoBou. You are quite busy. The opening synth choice is welcoming. When you bring the drums in, the track feels solid. Your vocals here put me in mind of "When you can't see the sun". Now your guitar............FIRE. My advice fill the spaces with guitar in the same vein as 1:47 and 3:23 lead and some nice chords with your vocals. Nice 1 buddy. Your on it. Peace.

BaoBou replied 16th Nov 2023 - 2 years ago
Thanks so much Mark! Yeah I'm not done yet with this one, but I have 4-5 more that need my attention, so I had to kick this one out and make some space in my mind. Some of the vocals aren't quite where I want them, and I want to play with the ending.

In general I'm experimenting and trying to get outside my tried and tested guitar/bass/piano/drums/vocals template and discovering some pretty interesting places, I feel. And that also leads to different lyrics.

I'm definitely having fun, and that's all that matters :)

on 4-3 - The last thing on my mind by BaoBou
Are you playing all the instruments on here cuz if you are you're one talented man? Also I hear the '80s influence lol the guitar during break was great.
Your voice goes with this vibe but have to be honest your voice says has a specific vibe that it goes with though and me I think it's the '80s style but good work man
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 11th Nov 2023 - 2 years ago
It's mostly mine, but recently I've been adding some samples. Generally whatever guitar/bass/keys/drums you hear are mine.

In this case I played the drums through my midi keyboard btw :D but generally I try to use my electronic drumset.

Funny description because I think most of us have gone through that where we working on a project that we get frustrated and move on to the next I actually just uploaded one that I just gave up on the mastering. Let's check this one out
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 13th Nov 2023 - 2 years ago
Yeah we do right? And with our ADD/ADHD and procrastinating, working on a new track to postpone fixing old problems is sometimes just what we needed to create something good.

Btw here's the more polished version:

Hello BaoBou,
what a beautiful composition. I think it sounds particularly "lively", which is certainly due to your mix. If I may say so, your voice somehow reminds me of Edwyn Collins from Orange Juice (unfortunately long deceased). In general, everything fits together perfectly and overall it is a well-rounded work. I enjoyed it very much.

Cheers,
Micky

BaoBou replied 13th Nov 2023 - 2 years ago
Thanks a lot Micky! I love Edwyn Collins... his "Never had a girl like you" is one of my all-time favourites!

on EP4 - The Jungle of my Love by BaoBou
Hey BaoBou, That opening is epic! The track is very laid back and very cool and not sure if that's you on the vocals but I immediately started drawing comparisons to Colin James Hay; the lead singer for the band "Men At Work." Just a nice vibe and cool track, I enjoyed this very much great job and faved.

All the best,

Dennel
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 4th Nov 2023 - 2 years ago
Yep, all mine, vocals/guitar/bass/keys/percussion; only for the beat I used a standard Ableton midi, then overlaid it with various samples.

I love Men At Work, so that's a super comparison! thank you so much!

Cool intro real inviting!
Great efx sounds. Guitar works is awesome. Good mixing! I don't know if I would call this jungle though maybe disco Rock it is on its own type of sound good work man
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 4th Nov 2023 - 2 years ago
Haha the category jungle is a joke of course. It's not what most people would refer to as "jungle", it's just the main theme in the creation on this track ;)
In general I think categories are stupid. Anything that falls in one particular category is usually not that interesting; and you can never make categories either granular or generic enough to make it work.

In the end you make CincoCent music and I make BaoBou music. I can tell people a category but I usually say it's as if Eric Clapton joined Steely Dan (on a bad day) and them people know ;)

Thanks for listening and commenting!!
