Thanks for listening.

I test sounds against the rest of the mix. If I can't hear them, I don't use them. This helps me to keep things in relatively separate frequency ranges, without much mixing. Much of the ethereal stuff never repeats, which takes a lot of samples for a 5:45 track, especially when they are layered.

I also tend to use loops and samples that are already in the correct tempo or key, rather than having to do too much stretching and pitching. This is more for economy than sound quality, though sometimes you want that "stretched," or "contracted" sound.

Anyway food for thought. Thanks again. More to come.

Thank you for the love. The instrumental is very nice. I consider myself lucky to have had the oppurtunity to lay down some vox. I think I did a good job writing the verses too.

Thank you mate. A more serious work.

Hola mi buen amigo IAN, tienes algo de razón con el ritmo, has nombrado a Phil Colins, y sí soy un gran admirador de su música, sobre todo de su sonido de batería, de esas espectaculares reverb gates que utilizaba en los años 80. Gracias hermano por tus comentarios tan cálidos y positivos. Que tengas una buena tarde. Paz y salud.

Thank you pseudoble much appreciated !

Thank you.

Thanks! Definitely pop influence on this yeah haha
Appreciate the feedback!

I have no idea what she heard when she first recorded the vocals, I'm thinking I'm not too far off, but it really doesn't matter, her vocals kill me every time.

thx mate

What's up Ian

I embellished it a little bit but,
This is the kinda groove I used to
hear in church when I was little. There
were no Synths(there are now) but this was
the best part of church for me. Some of the
choirs really jammed.
Thanks for your listen and encouraging comments.

PEACE...

pseudoble, thanks for making the comparison. The mix was rough and really needed help but a tweak here and a change there makes a big difference. Your listen and feedback is greatly valued. Be safe.

Glad you enjoyed it!Thank you

pseudoble, Thanks, check the update out.

Hey, pseudoble, it was originally meant to be drum n bass, but I guess in the end it became an electronic pop with a hint of drum n bass. Good call on the punk interlude comparison -- the switch uses a lot of techniques punkers used back in the day. Thanks for the kind comments and for stopping by, I appreciate it. :)

Thanks I appreciate the kind words.

Thank you my friend for your comment.

Thanks much for taking a listen! Unfortunately no modular synths were brutalized for this composition. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

I totally would fix the vocals but that computer is crashed and long gone so the file has vanished.

Cheers Ian, thanks for your helpful comments on the draft I sent you.
