I like it. Do you!

Thanks. I think it worked out quite well. But I probably wouldn't record the same way again. Took almost as long as recording it the normal way.

overall a really good track, man. I don't comment much when I know it's a bad song in general, however cheers. Would definitely like to remix it.

Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you like it. Remix sounds cool. I can upload an acapella, not sure how I'd get other stems as I recorded the instruments to only 2 tracks (1 for drums and 2) for all the other synths).

I think I got to the level that I like your numbers without compromising ... even though I would have enough to suggest, I don't care ... this is your art ...and quality art...

handshake, Danke

wow...:-)

one of your best, I think...

hello TA!

CONGRATS FOR THIS PROGRESSIVE, UNIQUE, SUPER COOL TRACK...

your voice is too good for this style but we know it...you don't have to work with it more unless that change what Bleep suggest is under cosideration...:-)

I very much enjoyed this track and you'll get many positive comments on this to make sure you are on the right way...:-)

handshake, fav, Danke

Hey Danke!

Thank you for your high praise. This is not a vocal style that I will be sticking with. I may use similar techniques in later tracks, but only if it fits the song.
I appreciate the idea of using female vocals and I think it is quite a good idea. However, it's a trial to find the right person, then get them to have the right sound, then mix them into a track that I haven't prepared for female vox. Saying that, I am looking into making a track with a female singer at a later date. So watch this space.

Thanks again,

TA

Hello T.A,

Nice surprise on this sound, full of melancholy inspiring me a desert and chaotic land under a grey and rainy sky... Your voice, as usual, make the job, and is perfectly served by instrumentation! Thanks for writing the lyrics, for those like me who don't understand all, it's cool to read your words and catching the real message. No doubt, It's contribute to the atmosphere of the song!

There are, however, something I’ve less enjoyed during my hrearing: it's about the voice which looks like a robot... if all the others vocals effects are really great in the track, this one, i don't like it... I know that it was a part of the purpose you were searching, but For me, I think you can easily replace this robot voice by a woman’s voice!

Being a big fan of the band The Cure, you imagine what a special affection I have for all that is melancholy, and inevitably, I find a touch of cure in your writing, probably at the level of the rhythmic.

Very nice inspiration in this song and of course a big fav!

Hey BLEEP. Thank you for your insightful, reasoned response. I experimented a lot with the vox and I agree that some are more appealing than others, but I do think it fits the nature of the song. I wanted it to be a little abrassive because of the dark subject matter.
I'm also a massive fan of The Cure and they probably do have an subconcious effect on my music.

Thanks again,

BLEEP

reminds me of a weird mix of ultravox (Piano drums) Lincoln park (Chord progression) and interpol (vox delivery). Really compelling dark song you can build on. I liked it a lot.

Thanks Cru. That's a lot of cool influences you've suggested. I didn't have those guys in mind, but I'm happy to lie and say that is exactly what I was going for :P

on Death Drums by toastedavalanche
Again, I agree with Crucethus. More reverb is not the way to go on this track. I'd like to hear the vocals brought up and forward in the mix. And, more intimate vocal delivery. There's a unique character in your voice that you need to bring out more I think.

As with your other tracks, I really appreciate your emphasis on melody. And, it appears that you have a knack for lyrics as well! I'm jealous! :)

on Devil In My Skin by toastedavalanche
I agree with Crucethus. A very beautiful melody on this track. This track deserves a lot more listens and a lot more comments, in my view.

Your voice is very distinctive. It has a lot of character and it works really well on your tracks. But, I think that you haven't quite found the right treatment for it in recording. I've got very little experience recording vocals so I don't really know what I'd do differently. But, I think I'd experiment a bit to get an even more intimate "feel". You have moments in this track where I hear that coming through, but not consistently and I want to have even more of that. Might be the volume you sign at. Might be how close you are to the mic. Might be the type of mic. Might be a question of compression and EQ. Or, all of the above. You have it really close on this track.

on The Wolves by toastedavalanche
Well, TA. This is one of your tracks that I hadn't heard before. It was very enjoyable. I think I've said it in other comments, the thing I particularly appreciate about your music is the strong emphasis on melody. And, even more, melodies that can actually stick in your head. Your arrangements are quite engaging as well. I guess you play a lot of the instruments live?

I'm enjoying working through your music there on Looperman. I don't know how I lost track of you.

Regards,

Eric

on Run Until Your Lungs Give Out by toastedavalanche
Well, I see that I've heard this track previously, TA. Now, that I have re-discovered it I totally agree with my comment posted back in 2017. This track could definitely support some vocals. I heard a melody line in my head again as I was listening to it. That, for me, is the sign of a track that connects with me. Always is.

OK. I very much liked this track. And yes, you got the mechanical/cold feel you were aiming for. The melody was spot on for the track.

And, the vocal was excellent, in my view. I really liked it. But, I think it was set too low in the mix. I think that might have been was centralsdev was suggesting. That particularly applies to the sections where you pitched up the vocal. It was barely detectable above the backing track.

I've done that on some of my tracks where I, very reluctantly, had to do the vocal myself. I'm a lousy vocalist, so I bury the vocal on purpose. Your vocal was perfect for the track, so there was no need to do that.

Now I'm going to search your profile to see if you've posted other good stuff! :)

Thank you for your insightful response. I am guilty of trying to hide my vocals, especially when I try something new like this.
I've taken your advice and adjusted the levels. I hope you also enjoy my other tracks.

you should work some more on your vocal!
toastedavalanche
toastedavalanche replied 29th Dec 2018 - 6 years ago
That's a fair but vague comment. Is the mixing and processing the problem? Or do you feel it's a bad performance? I'm okay with either criticism, it helps to know so that I can change it.

this gave me a heavy mac demarco vibe. love it.

Vocals instruments mastering and composition are all on point

Thank you. It took me quite a few attempts to get the sound just right.
I wasn't intending for Mac DeMarco vibe, but I'll take that praise and run with it :p
