I love that youre keeping the collaborations coming, people that are new in the community can listen to this and have a good idea of what this community is all about. Thanks The FrenZ. We hope you work with us again soon

Yep, I keep on trying, I just need to have the spark when I hear a song, then the fiddling starts ;) This working with each other, or re-using each others work is what keeps me going, the pleasure of creating :) And when a opportunity arises I join again in a collab.

This is very good man i like the slow tempo of it the vocals are brilliant :)
TheFrenZ
TheFrenZ replied 10th Aug 2026 - 2 weeks ago
Thanks Robin, glad you like it. Tempo was laid by Joseph and the vocals are of the lazy kind, one vocal recording track for it all, even more perfect would be a track/take for every voice (in this example 6 separate in stead of 1 FX'ed into multiple). Lets see if I find the time to do it properly for "Nightfall" :)

Frans!! Die is top!! The guitar playing is also top notch and it's great to hear your own honest vocals (with a bit of effect). Great stuff my friend!

Thanks Boudewijn, glad you like it.
As mentioned, the music is from Joseph Shay.
And my vocals, well its actually 5 tracks.
1) Recording track with takes that gets corrected by ReaTune (manual correction) and the output is not going to master but is routed into 3 separate tracks that route after FX to a folder track (or bus).
2) The folder track (or bus) receives the audio from the 3 vocal tracks (3,4,5) and applies FX: ANINA (=Spectral Resonance Suppression) + Raum [Vocal Hall] and routes to master.
3) My voice in the middle FX: Neo [Vocals Clean], Raum [Voice Warmer] and routes to folder track.
4) Fem voice on the left FX: time delay [+20], ReaEQ (duck the low end, and raise the middle a bit), ReaPitch (pitch+12st, formant-11st), Raum [Vocal Hall] and routes to folder track.
5) Girls voice on the right FX: time delay [-20], ReaEQ (duck the low end), ReaPitch (pitch+12st, formant-10st), JS: Ozzifier Chorus (4 voices), Raum [Voice Warmer] and routes to folder track.
The time delay - and + together with the pan creates a bit of stereo wideness in the voices.

As extra; the folder track is side-chained to the music track to use ANINA to suppress the frequencies in the music that exist in the singing, so not side-chaining active filtering using and EQ that ducks a frequency range, even ducking what is probably not even in the vocal. And ANINA is free, not even a registration needed.

A long time ago, in other songs, I did even better; up to 7 vocals and tracks, creating slight vocal changes by changing the DAW speed before recording of each voice, but that takes a huge amount of time and effort ;)

Well, enough background info for one day ;)

One Word Frans - BEAUTIFUL.
ars align,
Feel the brine,
Moments shine,
Hearts entwine.

Dreamy, emotional lyrics and they are so well written

Performance style feels very personal and stripped back. This is One of your very best

Thanks Kay, glad you like it.
I gathered many verses from the internet then cherry pick for the lyrics. I'm a left brainer, no problems with protest songs, but feelings and emotion?

on Move to the groove by TheFrenZ
nice house production my mind got stacked at 2:29 nice arrangement. if i could change something i would give the song a "breath" from the beat at some point(s)... but dont get me wrong thats me, the track is great
take care peace

TheFrenZ replied 6th Aug 2026 - 2 weeks ago
Thanks for the listen and comment, glad you like it. That the beat in my tracks nearly ever stops has to do with the fact that when dancing, dropping the beat can take you out of the flow, ruining the experience, only people having their internal metronome synced with the previous beat, can keep on dancing. I love trance but I hate the beat-less breaks, I'm on the floor to dance, but now the beat is gone, and the crowd is waiting as a flock of sheep for the start of the beat ;) For me who was on the floor a long time ago this is still an issue and a reason to dislike many DJ's. I'm old I guess ;)

Excellent sound, spacey, with great use of the stereo field. The productive process you followed resulted in this beautiful song, which I also believe is your own. There's plenty of material to work with all around, but what truly matters are your ideas and dedication to creating something great beyond what's given. Well done.
Best regards, Anthony

Thanks for the listen and comments, glad you like it, have another house track nearly done, except for a house drum, no example this time, but now using lib vox and acapella's ;) But the next upload is the result of a project that started in the second half of February :)

Hi there, nice track, evil laugh and all. Sounds amazing, are you still using all reaper stock plug ins? Cheers Chris.
TheFrenZ
TheFrenZ replied 3rd Aug 2026 - 3 weeks ago
Thanks Chris for the listen and comment. I'm still fond of the Reaper stock plugins, starting to dislike non Reaper plugins more and more, it happened already twice that free tools changed to paid and I hate paying for something stock tools can do too. In this case only the vocal and master tracks FX heavily use stock tools: JS:RBJ Highpass/Lowpass Filters, ReaComp, ReaEQ, ReaFir, ReaLimit, ReaPitch, ReaTune, ReaVerberate.

And there is a new free tool I'm using: Spectral Resonance Suppression using ANINA. Besides the standard functionality (resonance suppression) I also use it as de-esser and as ducker by using i.e. the vocals as side-chain to create room in the "music", not dimming a range but subtracting the vocal sound from the music when existent ;) Check the Reaper website --> Videos --> Latest Videos --> NEW: Spectral Resonance Suppression.

TheFrenZ
TheFrenZ replied 3rd Aug 2026 - 3 weeks ago
Thanks for the listen and comment, I'm glad you like it, but I can't accept all credits as the base for this came from a website as I got a free Kontakt Select Electronic and had to play with it :). Found a blog describing the creation of a Tech House track using tools from the Contact Select Electronic toolset. Kontakt (Libs: Feel It + Nacht and Leap[Progressive Trance]) + Massive X. I had to change the Massive X presets as the describes where not in my setup, changed some melodies, added an extra synth track, added extra percussion using Battery 4, and almost everything gets a treat by Replica XT + Raum.
Topped by my own vocals heavily FX-ed and in one case even a vocoder fed by vocal + pitched synth. The riser is a subproject, a reversed Massive X sound. Added a oneshot using Kontakt Glaze and a oneshot using Hype.
The result is very different as the blog example and therefore mine now, but I'm open where the idea came from :)

The demon in my head smokes even more weed than I do, so I don't worry too much about him. Hes extremely lazy and only surfaces every once in a while, mostly when he's Hangry and demanding blueberry pancakes at 3 am like a jerk. Well, thats way too much back story for it to not be true lol. Anyway, nice work my friend. I enjoy the little descriptions you put with your tracks too lol
