on LOFI REGGAE DUB INSTRUMENTAL by GRMZ
The best reggae tracks should have a memorable bassline I think and you've definitely got that, nice one!

on Der letzte Winterhauch by atw
There are little bits and pieces on this track that make me think of some tracks I've heard by 'Air'. Nice laid back vibe though

on Mentalism by Juliooliveira
Aha, another fellow Reaper user, don't see that many on here. Now this is the sort of music I can easily see myself whacking on in the car. Good work!

Hello Lek!
Now that you mention it ... really, there are few Reaper users here. I just don't know if we are a race on the rise or extinction hahahaha
Thank you for listening htis sound!

on Final march by ripzore9191
I can imagine this playing over the end credits of some film or other but I'm undecided on the film genre. Nice!

I am not sure either to be honest, I feel maybe a viking movie or something. Thank you!

on the sting FT Holly King by mindhiest
I'd say this is more pop than rock, but still a decent track. I agree with mudhoen about the vocals, applying some minor stereo trickery to them will probably improve the overall track a lot I think.

on Infected World Updated by DijamMusic
Some interesting sounds on this and some nice 80s elements especially the stabs. Great track, well done!

on Abyss by altinb
Hey altinb, I can see your sound is evolving over the short time you've been producing so well done my friend. You almost have a signature sound of your own which is pretty good going. I read the other comments, don't know if you've changed the clap but yeah that'd be my only slight criticism, could just be my personal opinion though. Just interested but is that piano a loop you've sped up? Interesting sound anyway.

altinb replied 10th Mar 2021 - 4 years ago
Hi Lek, thank you for leaving me a comment i'm happy to hear from you the piano is not a sped loop, they are alot of sounds mixed in together to create this kind piano thanks for the feedback

on Try feat Patricia Edwards and Onno Schilstra by Paulusx1
I've listened to a lot of tracks on here where it's obvious the vocal track has been slapped onto an existing instrumental track but this sounds totally like a proper collaboration. It takes a fair amount of skill to achieve that when working with an acapella from here, so great work man. I'm not a massive fan of reggae if I'm honest, but yeah, this is pretty decent - nice vibe. Keep up the good work :)

on Give my All by avasuzanne
Hi, nice vocals and it fits well with the backing track so well done on that. My only criticism would be that it feels like it should be a longer track. It kinda just ends without warning. If this was developed into a longer track this would be great.

on Euroshima by Indieground
I know The Clash and BAD, didn't know about this short lived band though and haven't heard the demo. Does sound more Clash than BAD though you can tell it's starting to lean more towards pop which carried through into BAD I suppose then. Good track though and well produced.

Thx for the feedback mate
Yeah it was just a rumor during lot's of year until a demo cassette appear few years back. Check on YT Top Risk Action Company there is some good stuff even it just a bunch of demos.

on Everybody Knows Backing Track by EricMilligan
Really good this. I think this backing track sounds better than the original if I'm being honest, definitely harder hitting anyway. The original backing track does sound a bit dated now though, very much a product of its time.

By the way, you may remember listening to some of my non-featured tracks a while back. Thanks for all your feedback on those, much appreciated.
EricMilligan
EricMilligan replied 18th Feb 2021 - 4 years ago
Thanks, Lek. I had forgotten that I'd left this track still tagged as "featured". I had meant to remove that a long time ago. I guess the original backing is a bit dated, although I definitely admire the way the Sigrid and her producer found an entirely different "take" on Cohen's original version. Minimalist, but powerful. A great contrast with her vocal, particularly as the song builds toward the end, and then dies back again in the final bars.

I don't know why, but it seems I'm gravitating more to trying to emulate stuff that I like (even really old stuff), rather than creating something entirely original. It's like I'm reverting to my teenage years when I was just starting out in music. Learn by copying. This track is a prime example of that.

Am currently working on the version of "Unfinished Sympathy" done by The Six, from Manchester. A really tasty updated EDM version of that classic track. I think is it not well regarded by some Massive Attack fans who consider it to be sacrilege, but I like it a lot.

on Synthwave-Darkwave 80s sound by BadNode
I agree with theHumps - sounds like something from an 80s sci-fi film. The intro stands out in particular. Good work, especially considering if you're fairly new to it all. Keep it up my friend.

Wow, thanks Lek, I'm glad it made that impression! So far I'm really liking Ableton Live, lots to improve on and tons to learn!!

on SO Nice by Celiaaa
Hey. I'm actually working on and off at the moment on a track using this vocal. It's going to be a bit different to your version but the vocal goes really well on this. Great track, well done!

Celiaaa replied 17th Feb 2021 - 4 years ago

on get well soon by marquecour
I think others have said this needs more on it. It sounds to me like it is crying out for a vocal and also drums to kick in at some point. Good starting point though for what has the potential to be a great track. Nice work

on Space Frog by StarTravels
In places this reminds of me of 'The Egg' especially their earlier stuff. Have a couple of their albums so you can definitely take that as a compliment! Nice

on swim or sink by phantomproduction
Really good tune this my friend and the production is top notch as well. If you could get a real horn section to jump on this it'd be even better.

on Equinox Ft Odarka - World Will Never Change by 0Equinox0
I've listened to quite a few tracks using Looperman acapellas that sound like the acapella has just been mashed into an existing instrumental. That's certainly not the case here, can tell you've carefully constructed this around the vocal track. Very nicely done.
0Equinox0
0Equinox0 replied 5th Feb 2021 - 4 years ago
Thank you! I'm happy you are able to tell! I do that for all my songs. I start with the acapella and try to figure out a key, rhythm, progression etc. Then I just build from there.

on Dancing in the Sky by MPOProduction
Yeah I'm thinking this is more reggae with some dub elements. Think a reggae vocal would go well with this. Like the horn stab type sound you got going on around the 1 minute mark. Nice work.

I agree, this isn't boring. Like CaraDeSol I could also imagine a vocal track going well with this. Still a nice track though either way.

on Stand on that Mountain Muzic by RichieWinn by FullCapicityMuzic
I don't know if everyone will agree, but I always think it's better if a vocalist can work with an existing backing track rather than the other way around (at least in my experience) and this is proof of that. Really professional sounding track this. Well done to all involved :)

Thank you. :-)
I think it's a matter of preference, level of comfortability, and some other stuff mixed in there. Haha.
The "backwards" process isn't for everyone, and I certainly tip my hat off to those who do it so well you can't tell which came first.
Thanks for taking a listen and your comment. :-)
