Ooh man do I like this smooth and soulful track. Such a nice flow. The saxophone is so deep and melody so catchy. The guitar after is top notch. You should try and contact Maddie(https://www.looperman.com/users/profile/1887991) and ask if she wants to collab with you. I made a track with her and she really has a great voice which would fit perfect with this song. My hats of and a deep bow for you Mr Mack! One of the best songs I heard on LM lately!
Thankyou for the comment.I will check Maddie out because i do have a vocal consept for this track. Glad you liked it and took the time to comment.PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.
Very good first track on ableton. The sounds come out very clear. The chord progression is strong and the synth sounds great. Looking forward to your next track(or this one completed)
Very mysterious intro. The bells after that really transit this track nicely into the padding and panning sounds which sounds very awesome. The whole track is mixed well adn teh lead is weird but tastes good(like peanutbutter/jelly is weird but tastes good :p). very well produced and fun track!
Fun track you made here although it should be Light into Dark as the track turns darker to the end. The melody is catchy and the drums clear. maybe you could add in a pad to give even more atmosphere to it. nevertheless a nice track to listen to!
True, just realized - I'm guessing you mean the last drop where more dark instruments come in and the weird siren builds up. I'm still working on my skills, so I'll try and get a pad floating around in it. Thanks for listening! :D
Very nice rapsody you made here. So many nice melodies and variations give this track a very nice and mwlloe atmosphere. All teh sound scome out very clear and thus mixed very well.
Im not very familiar to the genre but with this track you made curious what more there is. Very nice track and great build up. You give a greta feeling with all. Some chill vibes with some serious guitar flavour. Very nice and well executed track!
A lot of psychedelic sounds on LM lately and this one fits perectly to the genre. Love the 8bit sound you introduce in the beginning of the track. Feels like a grasp of sanity in the psychedelic atmosphere which you created with the bassline and the drums.The transition to the 2nd part is original and well found. Nice 90s Vocal mix you used there. In the 2nd part the 8bit transist into the psychedelic realm aswell which makes the sound ewven more depper than it was. In the 3rd part you really get the story going. The high tones give a fresh but still vibey feeling. The spivkurl signature is definetly in here. A nice and fun track to listen to. Well done!
Since psychedelic is a new addition to the genre choices, I'm glad that it is finally catching on! I guess I can't quite say what the "2nd part" is... it was all plateaus of different lengths, specialties and intensities for me. That 8 bit sort of sound you mention, while it may be the grasp of sanity in the beginning, sort of intensifies the time warp aspect later on. The primary vocal clips are actually from the early 90's, so it makes sense that they would give a 90's impression. I've been chewing on that half hour insanity for years now, as it was one of the best moments in television history. I can't help but autograph everything I do, it seems... even a simple conversation with a stranger. I frighten someone from a seated position, with witnesses and a digital recorder in hand. The world is beyond beginning to crack, and that needs to be addressed. Thank you for being the first to leave your comment on this piece... I expect my next one will be a lot different from this, as I don't usually work in the box like this. Thank you!!!
Very nice piece of music you created here. As usual the mixing is spot on but in this particular track I love the chosen instruments. The way you use the cello is pretty unique for my ears. They give the track a strong backbone. The short jazzy break at 2:50ish is awesome and fits very well. It fits seamlessly to the whole of the track. The drums and especially the change of rythm in it keeps the track interesting eventhough it is 8:42 long. The drums that are coming in at 5:35 are a bit to sudden for my taste but that is probably personal preference. The slowing down to the end is really strong and gives a very dark and mellow touch. Great track and instafav!
It really has to be with the kind of music I make otherwise it doesn't work properly. I'm not making catchy songs or dancefloor anthems so everything has to be sound good as it's supposed to be music you listen to over and over again.
"I love the chosen instruments"
Good. There aren't very many of them as I've kept it quite minimal and tried to get the cello to do as much as possible. I've been doing that a lot in the last few months.
"The way you use the cello is pretty unique for my ears"
Yes, probably so. I generally use quite a simple combination of effects (mostly delay, reverb, chorus, sometimes distortion) that means that I my cello never really sounds like a traditional cello, as used in classical music. I'd quite like to get that sort of classical vibe as I think it would inspire a different style of music making. But I also like the sounds I get using these effects.
"The short jazzy break at 2:50ish is awesome"
I was thinking of getting rid of that whole section that follows (the one featuring Fender Rhodes) but then decided that I like the drum loops too much to get rid of the section.
"that are coming in at 5:35 are a bit to sudden for my taste"
That's where there's a big, sudden drum fill as the swing jazz drumming returns. I wanted something exciting and explosive but maybe I've got it wrong. I don't mind hearing that.
"The slowing down to the end is really strong and gives a very dark and mellow touch."
Yes - I like that slow, dark vibe. The reason I did it is because this track was made out of another recent one that you liked:
So, I still had all those slow, shuffle groove drum parts sitting on my timeline so I decided to reuse them (and change them). I think a slow, dark chillout ending is a good way to close things out and makes it seem like a real journey.
Very nice and solid intro. Love how you start with acapella adn then slowly introduce the drums and synth. Maybe you could turn the beat a notch louder. The vocals are very clear and that is good but the beat doesnt hit enough now. Nevertheless a great track and fav!
Very well produced track you made here. Love how you put in the synths to give that spacelike funky feeling. I definetly agree that vocals would fit perfectly here. There is enough talent here so hope to hear this track again with vocals soon! Good luck!
Thanks Mudhoen. I've already gone and taken some posted suggestions and I'm trying to let things soak in for a bit, The wife and kids are out of town, so it is nice not to feel rushed just to try to start and finish something in an evening. As for talent on here, you're absolutely right. You're part of it. Still go back and listen to Windrunner...it's that no frills, dark but uplifting trance that got me into this stuff years ago. And I'm guessing most, if not all, from scratch.
This is not the usual stuff i hear from you but you definetly do it some more. The track is very laidback and give a very warm vibe. In the 2nd part after 2:40 it really starts to get really groovy with the jazzy influences. the vocal shot really gives live to the track. Very well done and well mixed!
Very nice remix you made here. The beat and piano fit perfectly to the vocals. The time you took to make this track is astounding. You might give the vocals a little more room though. They fall away from the beat a bit at some parts. But definetly good stuff!
well. thanks for your comment
yea it took me less than a hour thats a simple track, actually I put myself in challanges to make creativity. ehm.
actually that parts are the dubdrop that vocals should fall away cuz FM basses and leads should lead the music and vocals will change their places with other stuffs like pads and etc which are playing low and just making the track busy, noisy and populated which we need in dubdrops, thanks for your feedback btw.
hats off
Lets all stand up and applaude for the annoying buggers that keep us awake in the summernights :p! Creative track you produced here. The synths are well chosen for the theme. The change of synths makes it almost like telling a story. Very refreshing production!
Thanks mudhoen. For some reason I was writing a lot of bug sounds and tracks for the past few months. This was sort of a grand finale. Glad you had a chance to check it out and that you enjoyed. Best regards - Dan
Very fresh intro. The 808 is very present and gives a deep feel to the beat. The storytelling vocals are good and fit well to the track. I like how you changed something negative that happened to you into something positive.
Love th track. the vocals are great and fit well with the instruments. The reverb is good as well but it should be mixed properly to get this track on the state that it deserves!
Very nice and epic sound in the first part. Love how the choir part comes in. The drums are very well balanced and support the choir/instruments very well. The bellmelody coming slowly in at 1:50ish sounds good although the instrument you introduce there does not have enough room to shine. Maybe you could change that. The 2nd part starting around 2:30 is nice and coordinated chaos which i like. Lots of things happening but you keep a good balance. The 3rd part is a nice ending to a well composed track. Well done!
Thanks dear mudhoen, initially the choirs starts with the "space" synth who you could heard at ends. Im happy to make the good choice to use only the choir.
I do not remember to put bells in my music you may confound with harp :P and originally its intended to have a low profile in the track I even thought to remove it but once done I feel about something missing so I reintegrate the harp.In the mixing part making the harps fitting with the rest was harder that I thought maybe I did something wrong.
I managed to coordinate chaos wow ! Seriously, the guitar part contains 3 different choir parts (bass strings, Piano, Brass)all with random velocity and volume. Im happy about you approve the result.
Like I wrote in the description you may have to consider this track for 3 different track that why there are a lot of things happening.
Thanks for your constructive comment I will check out about the harp if I can give him more room.
Peace from master Byleth
p.s im looking forward for your reply of the comment i posted on your latest track.
Love the typical dancehall beat. Its so energetic and never gets boring. The melody is pretty good as well. The mixing is a bit on the loud side but that can be fixed easily. The only thing i would change is the pad or at least the volume of it. In my opinion it is too loud. But that is your decision... All in all a fun and happy vibe!
Thanks mudhoen.
I wouldn't say the mix it's loud but i agree that one of the elements you just mentioned shoud be more in the background and not as loud as it seems to be.
Thank you for your constructive comments.
Very much appreciated.
Pretty good track but as other people said already: cut the autotune or just use it a little. I think the vocals can be very nice without it.If you mix the vocals to sound a bit fuller and less autotune you got me hooked.
Not the everyday dubstep but I like that. The synths and vox are pretty sick and combine well with the beat. Maybe a small hook around the 2:30 mark would be a warm addition but for teh rest good stuff!
Very explosive start of the track. The brass ound really gets you started.It could maybe bne tuned down a little for teh drums to get in a bit more. The other synth fits well as a contrast with teh brass. Very fun track to listen to!
Very soulful sound. The early pad is so good. The vocal glitches in it really gives it great atmosphere. The electric guitar coming in at 1:50 give it even more flavour. Was interesting for the whole track even if it took almost 9 minutes :p
Yes - I try to make deep music that might move people emotionally and perhaps even physically. I don't make pop music though perhaps I could if I had to. But would I want to?
"vocal glitches in it really gives it great atmosphere."
That's just cut-up vocal loops with lots of delay. They really add to the atmosphere and kind of merge with the pad sound (which merges with the synth bass).
0:50 is my favourite vocal. That's an 800% timestretched one from another track of mine. In that track it was heard at the original tempo. It sounds better here.
"guitar coming in at 1:50 give it even more flavour."
Yes - I cannot resist playing lots of blues guitar over this type of laidback shuffle groove. It's really easy and you can do heavy or gentle playing. Or fast. Anything, really.
"Was interesting for the whole track even if it took almost 9 minutes"
That's my aim. It's unacceptable to me if any of my sections are boring so I have to keep doing all sort of things, big and small, to maintain listener interest and justify the length. I assure you I could have made this a lot longer and a couple of people have said they wouldn't have minded if I had.
