on lifeee by DFay
well as to your Q: 130 bucks? where’m i gonna get that? i use an old unsupported version of acid back when it was sony! i figure i’ll deserve a plug-in after i can manage to tune my poor 50-dollar guitar, so i failed you on this quiz, my friend!

you didn't fail. i think you make a point that I didn't take advantage cuz i din't use enough my guitar electric. I had a violin and an acoustic one but I sold them last week

on UK RnB Track v8 by EricMilligan
this may be coming from left field, but your vox lend a bayou feel to this standout tune that sets it apart from the pack to these ears. this is distinctive and personal sounding.

on Lush 80s RnB by EricMilligan
hello eric. it’s so cool to hear someone really stretch out on the rhodes, reminds us the instrument is capable of producing so much more than great vamps! everything is so lyrically played that the track certainly doesn’t suffer from lack of vox. you know sometimes when i hear something this straightfowardly melodic, my inner grinch starts with ‘get me off this fuckin love boat,’ but i’d have to be more of a curmudgeon than even that not to be digging this.
EricMilligan
EricMilligan replied 18th Sep 2020 - 5 years ago
I know exactly what you mean about “love boat”, xstokes. I am acutely aware that when I play in a melody line using a Rhodes or B3 patch, the track can sound like Muzak (elevator music). It bothers me quite a bit, actually, because with a good vocalist, I think the tracks would not sound that way at all. I do know that my melody sense is more lyrical and simple than contemporary pop songs or alt and NuRnB for that matter. If I was a student in a music school like Berkeley (I’d never get in) I am sure I’d be severely criticized for a lack of imagination in the construction of melodies. I’ve been thinking that I should spend a bit of time studying artists like Charlie Puth who really knows how to do this well. :)

on Human Error by djMCMXCV
more cool loop arrangements + samples! you’ve chosen some really rich sources for the voice, what might be cool would be selecting a second clip from each source to keep the development flowing. i mean, i for one can’t get enough of HAL. i’m digging it, man!

heyDFay! deep groove and your message is so on-point! really strong vox and the backing vox sound like a whole crowd of different people at times, very cool. is that all you?

on Come Stay With Me Tonight - Julio Oliveira Remix by Juliooliveira
damn, this is thrilling, man! the drumming had me on edge from the get and never lets go. all the instrumentation is fire, that extended break is brilliant. the chilly vox are a great contrast to the HOT music. just excellent.
Juliooliveira
Juliooliveira replied 12th Sep 2020 - 5 years ago
Really, that voice is beautiful. When I first heard it, I already thought about putting this drum more aggressive, in fact there are three loops that are superimposed on different layers and frequencies, I think it gave a good result.

Thank you for your kindness in listening and commenting.

on Sabemos by DFay
hey DFay — man, this is ravishing. you find great people to collab with. that acoustic really sets off your vox. this has such a cool, relaxed vibe and your recording gives it a warm presence. really well done, i’m loving this my friend.
DFay
DFay replied 12th Sep 2020 - 5 years ago
This comment draws a smile on my face, thank you bro. I don't know bro, i think i bless. I have more friends that i want to collab but somes are shy and somes never tell me nothing. I have a couple song with "LagrimaBoyz", these guys are very good but they never put them out. I really like working with others.

on Sound Toy by DFay
i like how this sounds done just for the fun of it, and i find that to be really satisfying when it gets results like this.
for me it rarely works the same way twice in a row, sometimes i like building things up for days then looking for how much i can take out and get across what i’m looking for.
what about with you

DFay replied 5th Sep 2020 - 5 years ago
thank you Xstokes.

when it comes to make beats, everyday is different for me. somedays I wake up and make a full beat. next day,only make a melody and try some drums over it and next day i can take the drum off, change the sounds.And if i really feel the beat i can put some ideas on it

Thanks mate that's really appreciated, it was gonna be an instrumental but the samples gave it a bit more to listen to as the music doesnt really 'develop' as such throughout
