2 things:
1) you have to add some strings, this is gonna give it extra depth.
2) a background choir to accompany the lead voice.
For the rest everything is spot on to my ears, your recording is very clean and polished, the only thing apart from the above left to do is re-record the vocals, but you've laid down the foundation for what this baby is going to end up like.
Great work!!!

thank you for introducing to a new form, the selections you made are masterworks, you give a timeless perf on this. dude did you translate these, that is a hella thing in itself.
No, my Japanese is pretty non-existant beyond konnichiwa and sayonara ;)
I based this actually on a Dutch blog post. That guy deserves all the credit, because this is also 1000 year old poetry. penseelvanwind.nl/vallen-op-verval/ is the post - you may not speak Dutch, but you'll see how pretty he shaped the words.
Awesome job, and I tried to capture that spirit.
Thanks again my friend!

You definitely have enough for an EP, you just need to EQ it a bit to master it i think, maybe a little bit of compression on the master track to blend/glue the rain sample together with the rest of the track.
I use Soundcloud as my distribution service to all other major music streaming platforms. Soundcloud has a 'Pro Unlimited' account where you can ditribute unlimited tracks, you just pay a fixed amount per year but you can ditribute unlimited tracks instead of paying per track to distribute.
Goeie tips! Ja dat is geen gek idee, dan kan ik eerst beilig op SOundcloud publiceren, misschien een beetje spelen en tracks uitwisselen, en als ik tevreden ben naar Spotify etc. Goed idee!
Mixing en Mastering is idd niet mn sterke punt :eyeroll: :D ik probeer het te leren, maar het zou helemaal niet gek zijn om 4 tracks te kiezen, exporteren en naar een expert te sturen om er het meeste uit te halen.
Mijn dank is groot!

I think you have enough for a ep?
And you have a distrobution service to put it on spotify etc?
But most likely I'll do that on my Soundcloud first ;)

Or should I have called you Mr. Robert Lee Frost?
Mate in this track your voice is really good and clear but really the ear candy is the sound of your guitar.
I loved it mate.
Great track.
Well done
Maj
Actually the credit maybe goes to a Dutch blogger who wrote a post on these 2 small poems ("word flowers").

He added an image with the graphic representation of rain falling on a car window, and that got me thinking... I made a quick rhythm on the drumset... Some keyboard chords... And then the song wrote itself. Some songs just have a mind of their own.
Thanks for listening and your always positive words Maj! But I need more criticism from you, you have the knowledge after all :)

OK ok ok, I will have to admit that my girlfriend is right as usual. I changed the rain sounds... let me know if it's better now :D
on EP track 3 - The Rains of the Fall by BaoBou
Yeah my girlfriend said it sucked, and promoted another clip that I didn't like. I didn't want too "watery" sounds, I don't want people to run off for a pee before I can finish the track. Now I have to start to understand foley too? :D
If you can find a better one here, let me know...:

If you are looking for advice, I'd find a funky lick resource of some kind (tutorials are great), to increase the variance of your fills (across multiple instruments and songs). Then learn each lick in every key (I do them chromatically), so that you have a muscle memory library to pull from (this is an old bebop technique).
When it comes to vocal training, I would practice scales through the 12 keys. There is nothing wrong with your voice. If you want it to sound better (and you are too hard on yourself), you need to develop the muscles (probably via more tutorials). You would be amazed what a little sight singing and ear training can do. Get your 10,000 hrs in and you may scare yourself :)
Food for thought. Hope it helps, keep it up.
I'm taling drum lessons at the moment; thinking to switch to singing - oh how I'd love to do both, but we only have 26 hours in a day after all ;)
Oh 24? That must be why it feels so rushed ;)
10.000 hours times 5 instruments, let me see... Ok, see you again in June 2028 ;)
Great tips man. Not sure I can all of it but it's well understood and definitely noted!

Anyone making a reference to Santana is a friend of mine ;)

Angelus
Maybe if you want/have time also give a listen to the "When you go" track - I wrote that with in my mind that you should sing it. It's a total mess in sound levels/mixing etc (in your words I can't mix for toffee), but... Well, in my mind, this could be a track for you :)
Thanks again, you know I admire your music very much and a positive feedback from you generally makes my day :)

Brilliant come in towards end.
Very creative and musical!
Enjoyed my listen.

The Guitar is soulful and the Vocals
put me in the mind of the singer for "Dire
Straights" loved it. If I just had to do something
different in this track; I think, I wouldn't be as hard
core with the stereo separation, especially for the keys.
I (my opinion) would have given the Piano and Guitar a little
nudge towards the center.
Great track..
PEACE...
I'll fix that one first :)
Thanks a lot and thanks for enjoying!

Hm yes, you're right about the hats, snare and cymbal; I'm also not happy with the kick. The thing is I'm trying to figure out my electronic drum kit; there are some different sounds, but I may also need to play around with the levels. And I will also discuss the rhythm(s) with my drum teacher tonight - let's see what comes out of that.
Thanks so much for listening, commenting and enjoying Paul. Much appreciated:)

not easy to sing this one
This song is still very much under construction... a friend showed me a few of the things I can do better and now I'm almost ashamed to show this crap to people... but you know, that's how we grow :)

I can hear Tina Turner on this..
You know what? I remember she was "old" when I was young - but the "old" Tina was actually younger (in age and possibly spirit) than me today ;)
Anyway yes, I could hear that; I was myself thinking of maybe a French singer like Charles Aznavour, but in any case a proper singer with a proper voice... that would be awesome :)
Thank you for listening and your compliments!
