Love it, as usual (I saw your name and knew what to expect.
One thing to consider is the chord progression you follow in the section from say 2:55. It doesn't completely mash with the vocals, which is fine for a bit, but I feel you need to bring it back at some point to have the full effect.
See if you agree - if not, still an awesome track and much love to all participants!
Hey BaoBou,
we're glad you like it. And you're definitely right about the harmonies, but I (Micky) won't go there anymore. For me the track is done and it's on to the next one, which hopefully doesn't contain any flaws anymore. It's a learning process. Thanks for listening and for your regular visits... Cheers
I think it's a pretty interesting one, but you've turned up the gain so much it's hard to tell, to be honest :D
Try to leave some headroom so it doesn't distort - of course if you did that intentionally then just ignore me.
I like it. And if it's for your wife, then just give the lyrics a try man, even just as spoken word. Makes it more personal - and some of us have a voice like Bob Dylan, just accept it :)
Regarding the Afro sound, I think you can dial back the synths a bit and make them a bit more crisp (maybe a bit less reverb of effect), that might give them that West African sound. Good luck, I like it!
Just point me in the direction you
want to go and I'm always game for making
some music.
Thanks for your listen and hopefully we can
do a track real soon.
I've probably said this before but you are one of the artist
here on LM that caught my ear when I first got on LM.
You may have been one of the first to make encouraging comments on tracks I posted that kept me going and continuing to post on LM. Thanks.
Thanks for your listen and continued encouragement.
Yes that was the idea. My wife (who hates all my music) says it is 'beige'. She might be right but then true ambient music in my definition is music that can equally be listend to or ignored. Thanks for listen and comment.
Very nice man! One tiny note: you could consider to remove some of the power chords, to make the arrangement a bit lighter. Otherwise as always a great effort and Lauren's voice is of course awesome :)
Yay, I'm one of first to be able to listen to your new track :) Always a pleasure, always great my friend. Give my regards to your band, as always, and great guitar play!
To tell you the truth, in live we play so much heavier music like this ... we gotta screamer ... no melodic vocs ... stg like System of a down with Phil Anselmo ... :-)
this is only a side project with aimlessly for our own amusement ...
fistbump, Danke
It's a lovely sound, and you made a nice track with it. It's also clear where you got the inspiration; that's great of course, these are your first steps. I think you will also come up with something your own more and more, and I'm looking forward to that! Have fun!
BTW came back and there's nothing wrong with the low. I'll throw my earphones in the garbage and remember not to post too soon! :D Still a lovely and very interesting song. Great job Micky!
The first 20 seconds I think is really promising; the part after also isn't bad, but it's mostly gimmicks, in my mind. Try to make a strong track musically (like the first part), and then the effects can help to enhance it - but try to be more than just another Skrillex ;)
Dude! That's an excellent techno track! Hard as nails, booming bass, industrial sounds all over the place... and you kept my attention for the full 6:19 min! The long break in the middle is a bit of a risk but you pulled it off and kept my attention.
I'm a secret techno afficionado - quite different from my own style but good techno can be extremely pleasant and I totally like what you did here!
Hey man, that's a great vocal (set of vocals). I also like the background loop and the dubstep rhythm that you used.
They even work together, although that's certainly not obvious.
For me the transition around 0:54 is a bit sudden; the piano plus vocals in my mind had a slightly different rhythm to it than the dubstep - that's definitely not a bad thing, but it would help to a simple sould like me if you introduce elements of the beat a bit earlier, so the transition is smoother. Does that make any sense? EG the bit around 2:38 I would like to see a bit earlier, before 0:54, so my poor brain knows what to expect. It's such a smooth song otherwise, so I think that might help :)
Good job and good luck man!
Nice! All yours or you used any loops?
I feel you overpowered the mix a bit. That sort of comes with the genre, metal can have that, but I wouldn't mind a bit more clarity for the individual instruments. And I agree, try to write some lyrics and find a singer... even sing yourself :)
And Slava Ukrayini!
That's a great track man. I listened to the acapella, which is a good dancehall vocal, I like his voice, but you took it to the next level. Also great to see how much you've grown as a producer - tooka look at some older tracks and your sound now is so much more pro. Great stuff!
...I take my time and when I'm done with a track I wait 2 weeks and then listen it again. I'll do that twice ....then you hear the mistakes much better ...and I work more on the detail .. I think that is key ;-)
Not a huge metal fan, but enjoyed this. Good drumming, solid guitars and also appreciated the lyrics.
I think that with some mastering you can get even more out of the sound. That may also be a style choice, of course.
All in all well done, I always enjoy hearing distorted guitars here :)
