Banging tune mate! got that 8 bit style which really centres the grove with fast attack on the synths, interestingly the melody isn't too far removed from a Polka in places! (a polka on speed that is) ;)...cool track man guaranteed to move the room! cheers Dave
Nice work here, Portrait! I like the glitched sounds you used throughout the entirety of the song. The different variations used also helps give the track a more interesting flavor. The use of vocal samples helps this one becomes a head banger.
This is pretty cool progression in your musical style! I'm liking the sound of it! I must ask, regarding the guitar parts... Do you use a DI of any sort? Mostly curious. I like how you blended the guitar in the mix, and it compliments the synthetic parts well. I like the late section where the harmonies and solo get more complex, has a cool feel to it. Very fun to hear! Fave!
thanks spiv! Regarding my setup - my guitar runs into a FX box\pedal (a BOSS ME25) and that output goes into my Roland Duo-Capture EX. That Roland is a wicked little unit, and has served me well over the few years i've had it.
glad to hear someone trying to mix guitar and electronic instruments...I have tried it quite a few times...big fun....nice upbeat mix MYXD...good tune for a Summer evening listen...Ed
The guitar has certainly given the track some extra life often missing in electronic music, kudos.. I want more guitars in my heavy beats type of music but the results of my recordings just don't match up to the heavy sounds I use.. Too thin.. Working on it.. A better amp perhaps.
As for the track, I haven't much to say besides the drums, (the ending bars of the guitar were pretty fantastic) I would like to hear a lot more variation, for example at around 3:05 you could add a few kicks to that stuttering to give the track more groove. Take that with some salt from a guy who loves his drums :) Meta.
Well Done msn! Glad hear that you're using real instrumentation as well! Let me tell you, I had my head rocking back to fucking back through the entirety of this track. Great job, and I'm sure the quality will increase from here! Much love!
I love the fact that you mix a real guitar with those electronics, to some extend I am trying to make hiphop-ish tracks using real instruments too. So keep at it, and the more real instruments the better!
