I don't know why but your name and avatar stood out to me as being something i'd probably like, so I thought I'd take a listen to a bunch of your tracks. I have to say I really like your stuff. I got into synthwave recently which encouraged me to listen back to a lot stuff from the 70's and 80's and your tracks make me nostalgic for that era despite me never having lived it. Just top notch work, if you ever put out an album i'd buy it for sure.
In regards to what i meant about "cleaning up" the track: I'm not really sure how effective this will even be considering you're using loops (which may have been poorly exported/recorded to begin with) but i'm talking about the use of mixing utilities like filtering, equalization, compression etc. When you put 2 loops/recordings together there will most likely be a point where they share the same frequencies. If you keep letting the same frequencies multiply it starts bogging up the mix and turning into this layer of noise. So if this happens it's best to figure out which instrument sounds best in that frequency, and then cut out (through filtering or EQ'ing) that same frequency from other instruments. Sorry I could go on about it all day so it's probably something to look into when you have the time. It's the reason why sound engineers exist but if you start learning about it as early as possible than you may never need one.
Ah, I'm hip to what you're saying and no, I didn't do any mixing other than adjusting the volume of each channel. Heck, I didn't even use reverb. All of the loops are as they were recorded by the artists who made them. Then again, everything sounded pretty uncluttered and not muddy to me so, perhaps I just don't know what to listen for? Although I do recall running across a fairly involved video on YouTube about it a few weeks ago so, maybe I should go look for it again. Thanks!
Came here from your forum post. It's not bad, there's some pretty cool synth work in here and I think you did a good job of meshing the samples, though that part at 1:27 felt a bit random or unnecessary to me. Could be cleaned up a little too but don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this.
Thanks for listening SS, I threw in that little jazzy riff to make the transition into the slower part less abrupt and I think it keeps the overall piece quirky and unpredictable. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "cleaned up" since I really don't know what I'm doing so, maybe you could enlighten me? I do really appreciate your input because we all have to start somewhere and learn as we go.
Wow this caught me off guard, this is some super high quality mixing. I mean the track as a whole is pretty much flawless but yeah it's just so damn clean.
Found the vocals in the intro and outro a bit cheesy, just not really my thing I guess. But beside that I really enjoyed the chill synthwave vibes. The spoken word travelling from one ear to another was a nice touch.
That vocal mean to be the voice of our childish part, living inside everyone of us, that part that doesn't know what suffering is. The left to right spoken words mean the trouble or the negative thoughts everybody passing through in the path pf life. Open and closing lookinh for love is a wheel that spins, called life.
