the 'swing' kinda threw me off at first, as the snare/clap sounded off-beat to me in the first few seconds lol.
Nonetheless, very well done. Your choice of Instrumentation/Arrangement creates a mellow Soundscape that has an analog-type warmth to it :)
It reminded me of 'hello meteor - obsidian game'. You should check it out, i'm pretty sure that you will like the track & the artist behind it.

I'm having a sort of musical identity crisis at the moment and I don't know which direction to turn so I'm trying a number of things to see what works. Like throwing paint randomly at a canvas.
I checked out hello meteor and they are fantastic! Thank you so much for pointing me to them. I don't know if I'm so good at the hip hop thing, maybe I try this style next.
Thanks for the listen! =)

Nice warm timbre choices also. I like all the keyboard interplay, nice breakdown also.
Great work, keep it up.
Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and for the nice comments. It made me very happy to see that you liked my tune. :D

On these tunes I have avoided vocals on purpose because they are typically not used in this particular genre style I'm exploring but I might just try your suggestion on one and see what happens. ;D

We 65'rs can be proud on our selfs and there are not much woman of our age starting with this.
So we need to ATTACK LM with our music lol.
And who knows? Maybe you will be a dj on Party's 1 day.
Im sure you can with your experience from the past and your will.
If you dont use your bike for a long time you are a little insecure in the beginning but the next day its like you never stopped cycling .
For me its a great hobby and ofcourse i want to become better but the most importend to leave my music for my children and grandchildren as a memory 1 day.
And no, no djing for me. Even if I didn't think I'm too old for that stuff, I'm too afraid of crouds unfortunately.
I'm sure you'll have quite the legacy for your kids and grandkids. Hopefully it will inspire them to do the same. There is no better hobby in the world.

Nice to hear that there are more madams who wants to create music.
Ok my english is not the best you must now but i want to ask you also something.
How long you making music?
I didd want to try Ableton but when i see how it works on youtube it looks like algebra for me so i will stay on FL.
And the last question...dont need to answer idf you dont want.
Are you the same as me?? Finding out on this age like my age (56) that
making music was something for me but whole my life i diddnt know?
Have a nice day madam and i wish you much plesure and succes with your music and here on LM
My progress has been slow over the years, picking it up and taking long breaks in between. But I enjoy making music so much I could never stop completely.
And guess what? You and I madam where both born in the same year! And yes, I wish I had started a lot sooner. In fact, I wish I could go back in time to be a DJ like Charlotte De Witte.
I have to say, you do a fantastic job for having started on this last year! I'm impressed. Hope to listen to a lot more of your work on LM.

I'm not going to keep blowing up the comments on this track.
This gist is, if you are simulating tape degradation how does a tape degrade? Usually, the highs get all scrambly, and the lows end up taking over, scrambling the highs every time they hit.
To simulate this, you are generally manipulating the master, using the information from the kick.
Here's one way to do it:
Run all tracks into a bus.
Make an additional track all alone for the "noise." Have the noise duck with the kick.
Run the bus, and noise, to another bus.
Put EQ on this bus to wash out some highs and compression to duck the mix with the kick (the noise gets a "double ducking")
Send this track to two separate tracks for separating out the highs.
Put a hint of phase on the highs (wobble). You could side-chain the degree of wobble to the kick for even more effect.
Run those to the master. EQ as needed.
Done.
That's one of many ways do tastefully degrade something. Your original take was very good... but you asked :)
Oh, and don't forget to distort the kicks and 808s (post any side-chaining) if you want your speakers to sound busted :D
Yeah, sorry, that's why I asked you to send me a message, as in email, but I wasn't clear enough. But it's all good. You explained it perfectly. Will try it out. Thanks for taking the time. :D

For reference:
tape fidelity is generally 30 Hz to 16 kHz
vinyl in theory could go as low as 7 Hz, as high as 50kHz, but that doesn't matter to me, I can only hear from about 30 Hz to about 16kHz (like most people). Anything lower than 30 Hz is pretty much a rhythm anyway. My jam band drummer's feet can technically play a "note."
Also a phone is usually about 80 Hz to 14kHz, so most of your listers couldn't hear the "brightness" we heard (it's also why most kick have ridiculous slap now). It's funny, the lowest "lofi" is everyone's crappy phone speaker, not tape or vinyl :D
In other words, watch out for reliance on gauges and meters. Your thermometer can tell a one degree difference in temperature, but all you care about is if it is "hot" or "cold." If it sounds like a phone playing a old digital recording of some degraded vinyl or tape, on your monitors and in nice headphones, then you probably nailed it.
Slicing some Hz off the top is a good "cheater" way to make it "Lofi", and did help the mix, but noise addition (brown or pink, and side-chained to duck with the kick with a long release), pitch wobble (manual or with a plugin), and other tricks will really get you there. You looking for tape or vinyl "degradation" not necessarily a change in fidelity.
If memory serves me correctly, slicing some highs has helped. I hint of side-chained mid-range noise will help more.
If you really want to cheat, try running the tracks through cabinet emulators (or several through the same one).
I hope I opened a can of worms... have fun.

Nice chord. melodic, and timbre choices.
Mixed too good for lofi :P
But still excellent. Like kingmt77 said... classy.
Wonder what you would sound like if you explicitly avoided possible genre classification?
Keep it up.
So I think what you meant by "mixed too good" is that it was too bright. I uploaded a new version with less high end essentially knocking the air out :P It would mean the world to me if you gave it another listen and tell me what you think. You can shoot me a message if you wish?
Thank you bringerofDOOM for taking the time to listen =)
