Man...get yourself down to the recording studio with your co-producer and don't come out until you've got this baby nailed down!..real R&B!..I can't believe it. lol....I have no idea what it takes to make a hit these days,but the source of what your doing here will never go out of style,a genuine vibe...and with all the watered down stuff around these days that's golden!...don't come out till your finished! haha
great work! cheers Dave

What up Leahcim!!! man this a great track in the classical sense of RnB...your vocals are nice...so turn em up a little...Great production!!!! I Will B BACk!!!

Peace!

Mykael replied 29th May 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks Carlos! Yeah, as I've said before I'm not very proficient with recording software...the co-producer of this track who is also the creator of the instrumental is handling the mixing process. I only uploaded "my" version of it to get feedback which will play a role in determining if this tune gets included in a special project I'm currently working on.

Hi mate

Nice piece, strings at beginning very nice, maybe a little more of a build up would be nice, rather it coming in so sudden,this piece has a nice groove going on about it,nice refreshing sound about it, is that you on vocals, if so very nice voice mate, suiting this type of track extremely well, if had fav button, yep would have hit it straight away, very nice work indeed...thank you for sharing this very nice listening experience...nice to hear this just before heading off to bed, nice chill vibe, love it...Peace...elsd...

Wow! From a non-fan of the genre that's an awesome compliment. Thank you!

I like the muzic, love the vibe and the vocal melodies here.

I wish you were a bit closer so I could hear you and understand what you're saying though.

This is def gonna be good!

Mykael replied 23rd May 2012 - 13 years ago

Thank you thank you, Bonita. I'm not sure what I'm am not doing but something is happening between the what I'm hearing on the lappy and what I'm hearing on the upload. I've done ti three times now, with the same or worse results. Vocals are clear and upfront on lappy...not so much on the upload. Sad face...but thanks for listening!!!

Mahloo13 23rd May 2012 10:46 - 13 years ago

on The Breakup by Mykael

I really like the vibe! You've got a classic right here!

I do believe the vocals need tuning or maybe a couple of punch-ins here and there to fix the pitch issues, cause there are a couple of places where you go a bit off.

Otherwise this has a great vibe going on, John Legend/Ritchie kind of vibe...retro yet modern.

Good job!

Mykael replied 23rd May 2012 - 13 years ago

You're FAST! Thanks Mahloo for listening and comments. Yeah, the vocals will be redone (I don't believe in punch-ins or auto-tunes). It is not quite a full song, but it's getting there.

Thanks again!

First all in my ole school days some of the best tunes started in the basement! The piano intro hooks you right in - and when the Horns drop in I'm looking for my sweety to get my dance steps on! The vocals are TOP SELF and so smooth. Luv the Hook!!

This is great! What a vibe. I hear the Al J thing, but I think that might be more from the timbre of your voice. My ears are tellin me this is what you would have if Donny Hathaway came back long enough to sit-in with Soulive!! Sweet! Seriously, you're phrasing is very DH and the groove is totally early SOulive. Really looking forward to the finished tune.

Mykael replied 31st Dec 2011 - 13 years ago

Hey Tony! Thanks so much for checking out my track. I am speechless. Al J keeps coming up in comments, and now Donny Hathaway! I don't hear it, but I totally accept it! I am embarrassed because I'm not familiar with Soulive, but will definitely Google. AL J, and Donny H on the other hand I am familiar with. I've not listened to much of Donny's material really, but I am a big fan of AL's.

The old school is still alive! I love the old school but kinda of jazzy feel to it. Vocals are real smooth. The track and the overall production of this track is superb!!

Thanks sooo much! I'm glad you enjoyed listening to it!

Thanks J1K! I'm holding off making this one for download until the final product is finished. However, we might be able to work something out....hahaha.

on Nu Man by Mykael

You have such a big soul and jazz influence coming through this tune, it's unbelievable. The first thing my mind went to was John Legend. Extremelly surprised and in a really good way.

This could be huge with an apropiate mix. It has vibe's from the 80's to the present. I can see some modifications being done to the vocals in the ''I've been around the world'' area. A bit of pitch adjustments and some modulation and it's brilliant.

This is going into my all time favs! Very good effort!

-Malu-

Mykael replied 19th Dec 2011 - 14 years ago

Thank you, Mahloo! I very much appreciate your kind words. Being compared to John Legend is pretty awesome.

Actually the mixing will be redone and any other issues will be fixed. Vocals will always have to be redone because what you hear I did with my laptop, lexicon mixer, and a shure mic (not exactly pro equipment). Very fortunate for me I will be working with a grammy-winning recording engineer. Anything I post here is by no means a finished product and will always be turned over to a professional

Hey man

As promised, checking out another one of your works, volume on this one is great, so thinking other has an error somewhere?? totally agree with Nuada, excellent vocals, very much a Jazz type sound about this one, love this piece mate, nice horn section, nice flowing beat, this piece sounds very professional, this is a piece I would pay money to buy...excellent mate...massive...Peace...elsd...

Mykael replied 19th Dec 2011 - 14 years ago

Thank you ELSD! I'm thrilled you dig it so. The other track is my...ummmmmm...handy work, and like I said before I'm not an engineer. This mix was done by Thez...he obviously has a talent for the technical. I try to get folks to concentrate on other components when they comment rather than focus on sound, mixing and such because if I am doing it, there are bound to be issues.

I'm sort of using Looperman as a source for material as well as a place to get feedback as far as what tracks are received well, and what ones are not. The tracks that are received well (some) will be reworked professionally in terms of mixing, arrangement tweaking, and ultimately mastering for distribution (my sophomore CD).

Thanks again for your words of appreciation and encouragement!

I know you have this in hip hop, but damn man, this is as close to RnB as you can get.....you remind me a bit of Al Green - if he was a baritone. Great vocal chops.

The recording issues are all things that can be rectified with a good sound engineer and great equipment. Loved the backing track on this one as well.

I would love to hear a duet with you and MusicIzMee4Ever. That would be epic.

Anyway, enjoyed the listen and best of luck.

Mykael replied 18th Nov 2011 - 14 years ago

Thanks for the comments. We have been working on this since the posting, and it's come a long way; just a few minor tweaks remain. And...ummmmm...I'm not a baritone...lol...perhaps when I am a LOT older.

on Nu Man by Mykael

yes man, another liqwit font of inspiration(:.
very nice instru, i'd love to hear more variations but it's a personal point of view. as for the mic, yes, you need to put what i call 'spit-guard' in front of it, so the S & P will seriosly diminish their intensity. in extreme cases -when you have a micro without condeser or a cheap one- i suggest a de-esser: a compressor that cuts all shh and prr in a rough way. the voice is fantastic as usual, you've got a great gift brother. hugs from here, hope to send some music soon enough
Peace

Mykael replied Unknown

Hey Badword! Thanks for the comments and support. I actually re-recorded the vocals using a pop filter, and the vocals came out cleaner. We are still working on the tune.

Nameste!

great tune. love the horns. vocal is a bit bright but its all good. were the horns recorded?

Mykael replied Unknown

Hey, Thanks Derrick!!! Really appreciate the comments. The Loop itself came from TheZerit with whom I'm working on it. Not sure about the horns. What you are hearing is nothing like what the end product will be. It's only a scratch...a starting point.

Thanks again, and Nameste!
