on Morning Star V3 by salvatoreJ
Oops, a misunderstanding, nothing wrong with your track, I just tried to pinpoint the differences between before and after your update, as my hearing isn't perfect I used my DAW (Reaper) to detect the changes and wrote them down, a nasty habit from me, getting technical.
But again, loving your track.

Hey Brother,,, no misunderstanding and cherish input. You pointed out things forcing me to re-visit and made those improvements in time. Fresh ears listening helps find things over-sought from being humans with flaws,, lol...
Version 3 is up,, have one area maybe in question regarding vocal time?.
Thanks, SJ

on Morning Star V3 by salvatoreJ
Checked in in Reaper as my ears aren't good enough, my findings:
.
Changes:
1) Little bit in the mastering.
2) De-essing.
3) 0:55 - 1:05 vocal timing and streched?
4) 2:08 - 2:40 vocal timing.
.
How I discovered basics:
1) Pull the downloaded files version 1 and 2 into DAW (Reaper).
2) Align both using peaks in the wave form.
3) Covert both files to mono.
4) Pan both hard (1st mono on Left,2nd mono on Right).
5) Listen using headphone to prevent reflections.
.
Details:
1) The little changes in mastering can be seen in the difference of the wave form.
2) De-essing can be seen in the difference of the wave form, i.e. 0:26 the word "changing" produces a spike in v1 but not in v2.
3) Vocal timing can be heard as the vocal sounds more stereo due to the time shift and slowly becomes an echo due to the stretch.
4) Vocal timing can be heard as the vocal sounds more stereo due to the time shift.
.
Most likely I missed more :)

Great job

Thanks frenZ, Appreciate the input and suggestions and hear you.
If track ever comes to be, worry about it then. some anonymizes are from running a phaser on rendered down two track to give more life. Her voice is strange and difficult to work, you'd think cutting out low registers would help but nope. lol,, I know you know it takes me a few times to time vox correctly cause i go loco form the over and over.... BTW: not mastered.... Trust your ears and less the analysis especially when real instruments. My Best....

Hey Sal, that's a really nice track, well produced. I particularly like the floating guitars. And that condensation trail at the end... great.
Cheers,

Hi Micky,,,, Thanks for review and boost. lol... the vocalist cords are unique and was sweating bullets hitting it right. I used a vocoder plugin and chose three cords harmonizing with vocals. it helped set the stage big time...

Ill get to hearing your work very soon.... TTYL, Sal

on Dark Clowds Beethoven No 14 by salvatoreJ
Electronic Music must be your specialism as this is so darned good - the effects you have used and woven around the tune and beat are really something. I love the changes and the vocal adds a layer of angst to the track. Great work ;)
salvatoreJ
salvatoreJ replied 7th Feb 2025 - 9 months ago
Wow,,, never expected that response,,,, my fear was vocal timing, trusting time warp plug in 90% on.... tweaks a given though..... the vocal effect is called "Pitcher", (FL Studio) set the key and it scatters pitch with surrounding keys in stereo,,, easier said. Thanks again, Sal

on How I Found by salvatoreJ
Interesting track, after 01:15 its a different track :-). love the vocals, the fade out at 2:40 is not my thing, I like the buildup at 03:04, strange end.
Nice job

salvatoreJ replied 7th Feb 2025 - 9 months ago
lol,
Yup repurposed something for now, replacing with DJ friendly matched intro. but,,, its not gonna happen !.
I lost interest and and pretty upset creating thee perfect melody to a perfect voice but only 40 seconds worth. 3:04 i just chopped to spare hearing a run on sentence.... totally bummed .... Appreciate being forward and pointing.

back at ya ,,,,, sal

Great job! It's a bit like the Bloodhound Gang (and by extension the Pet Shop Boys) but that's not a bad thing. Really bouncy!

on Do Me A Favor Ft PURPL by salvatoreJ
Hello SalvatoreJ, good track indeed....the vocalist stands out nice n bright along with the background chorus in this track....the musical accompaniment does not over power the vocals and definitely allows very clear expressions.....good job.

on Do Me A Favor Ft PURPL by salvatoreJ
I like your beat, I like Purple's vocal, but I'm afraid they're not the same key or BPM. Your progression is Gm (minor)/Dm/Am/C if Ihear correctly; Purpl is Bb (major)/Eb/Cm/F, and although part of it almost wors, there's also a couple notes that don't. I was trying to think of transpositions that can help you but I don't really see it.
Which is a pity because I think your melody is really good!

Superb - it's like you have taken the best inspirations of Ultravox, OMD etc and put the sweetest vocal of your own on top to make something that is truly magical Kay0s

Thanks Kay0s, Vocal are by Purpl at looperman... of course embedded with harmonizer and distortion and delay and reverb and things of unknown origins.... lol......

A very slick production - love the 'building an anthem' type opening and the way you take us to the bridge by a gentle drop down and gentle build up. Purple's voice weaves among the beat flawlessy. Lovely production. Kay0s

Hey Kay0s,,,,, thanks brother,,,,,, purple vox is really tough fitting. 3 track later stopped blaming me...... she is unknowingly drifting in and out of tempo.
all good though,,, do best can.

Hey Brother,,,,
O-Boy, I needed the thumbs-up, thought ears and mind lost sequence for time...
OMG,,,, Vox was a nightmare. swimming through delays embedded didn't help and, How do you find rhythm on a long para-sentence anyway ,,lol.
Solution:
Eliminating some words, some doubled, some smeared over, and, about 70 slices in and in-between, things finally came together...
lol,,,, Still needs some fine tuning, but, I then think,,,,, FOR WHAT !

Ill get to listening to your tracks soon..

Thanks again, SJ.
