Prima di rendermi conto che la traccia era del signor Domenico Wolf, avevo già pensato che era "molto italiana" come costruzione e che ci avrei messo sopra un bel cantato nella nostra bella lingua, fottesega se qua non la capiscono (c'è l'hip hop in russo, perciò...)
Per essere il lavoro fatto in appena un ora è eccellente, a prescindere dai consigli che ti ha dato Wayne. Probabilmente tornerai a lavorarci su, per variare qualcosa: se così sarà, aggiungi qualche variazione nella musica, uno special ad esempio. Al tuo posto, avrei aggiunto una sezione in cui avrei sostituito lo snare con un bel sidestick (come quello brillantissimo che puoi ascoltare nel brano "Consequence" dei The Notwist).
Per qualche strana ragione, ci vedrei sopra una improvvisazione di synth piano, precisamente l'E.Piano (FM synth della Yamaha Dx7), con un campo stereo ampio, in modo tale che non vada ad addensarsi al centro dove comandano le chitarre e le batterie...

Hi Mr Henry Pascal!
Credo sia la prima volta che scrivo in italiano su questo sito... ma non credo sia un problema ;-)
Grazie del commento. Non so se rimettero' mano a questa canzone, ma se lo dovessi fare sicuramente terro' conto dei tui suggerimenti: stide stick (non ho idea di chi siano i Notwist, devo andare a controllare) ... sull'improvvisazione di Epiano non ho idee. Magari hai un'idea tu e possiamo far partire una collaborazione.
E ovviamente, dovessi aver bisogno di una parte di basso, basta che mi mandi un messagio privato!
Ciao, Domenico
In the intro part i start to sing "Jam for the Ladies", in the center part i start to sing "Blow ya mind"... as Wikkid told me once, less is more. The choice to be extremely simple in the construction of song help to keep the feary tension throughtout the whole song.
Like it sooo much!
Believe it or not, i read "Prime Minister of Fu*k" instead of "Funk", dunno why ahahah... really like this unexpected track, i really do! It's a rough edit but deserved to be developed for sure, try to find some vocals to put on... (to be honest i thought "luckily is not another boring trap stuff again!")
Haha thanks Henry, appreciate that, I can't have swear words in every song right, I do have one more called bitch mofu*ka though I'll hold off on that one a bit. Lol I think I'll show something more punk next. Someone else had a piano loop on here I used I wanted to show them what I made with it, do you like Bryan Adams?
Does Avicii came back from afterlife? I really like the sung part and his arrangement , just a bit less the synth part (the avicii one, i mean). Mix/Mastering needs further work: why the kick is only on left side?
Just 42 seconds to set this as fav! Think a little, it's not even my favorite genre! But you have hit my favorite mood, that sweet sadness in which many people bask! You are the man!
A-fuqin'-mazing! Played twice, fell in love with twice, wondered die killed by goth rock girl (that i know for real) twice, set as a fav tw.. er... once.
In the second listening i paid attention to technical stuff: i think that everything is at the right place. Only thing i argue is about vocals: in some parts seems to be not in tone (but at the same time, this make touchable the feelings of performer). Instrumental are stronger and intense (and is def fine) but vocals are a tad weak. Enhance the brilliance.
Yeah. There's definitely room for improvement on the vocals. I need a better microphone & plugin for that, & practice of course. Thanks for listening. I appreciate it.
Sure, better than 1st version, but there are still some stuff to work on.
Vocals: as Alien rightly told, add a de-esser. Then apply a 4:1 compression (to make the waveform uniform, in this way it avoids that the lower parts are not intelligible and that the higher ones are too strong). Last but not least, add an eq and soften the low-mid frequencies of the voice tone, otherwise, as it is, it still buries parts of the instrumental. After doing all this, you can adjust the overall volume.
Acoustics: still too weak. Enhance their brilliance. A tad more stereo field needs too.
Drumstuff: all at the right place but the snare. Volume still too low. If you can't do better with the one you used, add a "80's" one (if you need some samples, i got something :) ) then wide his stereo field and add a longer reverb.
Looks like I had to work with another snare, cause the one I was using was at its max potential. I used the compression ratio you mentioned, but had to manually equalize parts of it due to the piano being recorded with the vocals. Added a bit more to fluff it up and further separated the pads. I'm learning a lot, thank you.
Probably you have thought of someone who would put a nice flow on this track, that would guide it, beyond the instrumentals. And that's fine. With regards to music, it's very psychedelic, you've arranged it very well. But the tone variation, which you used only twice, at the beginning and at the end, you could have used it through the whole piece. In this way it is less monotonous and the eventual rapper who works there will be able to write a lyric and perform it with more vocal variations.
Thank you, I think that you are right, I will remeber it next time! I really appreciate the time you spent listening and writing this usefull comment, thank you very much!
Great energy here! Really cool kicks, it's a kind of sound wraps the ears, and i like it so much. Why not an adequate bassline? Especially in the central part, the song seems a tad ... something missing! In any case, i though work with audacity only must not have been easy, it allowed you to develop the track as it deserved. I have the same problem as your with the DAW... but i can't use Cool Edit Pro for my tracks, i feel not in comfort use it's rack. (Better edit some samples before insert them in FL Studio!)
Thanks for your comment and question.
There's a bassline running throughout the primary loop. It's just higher than some may be used to, however after I fiddled around and changed the key lower, I found that I liked the original key of the loop better. In another version I doubled the loop (added the lower version along with the original) but I kept coming back to this version as the one I liked best. Sometimes less is more :)
Enlightened strikes back! Lovely idea to dress Jenna's vocals on a late 80's/early 90's song... the music is very beautiful, but you seem to have forgotten some suggestions that I already gave you on the track with Farisha!
Listening in headphones, I have the impression that Jenna is singing in front of me, while all the music is behind me!
This happens because, probably, you have not entered the compressions in the various patterns. In particular, like in Zombie, the bass seem to be missing, Jenna's voice dominates all the instrumental and the sound, in general, thickens everything in the central part of the stereo field.
My tips: everything that works as a pad is assigned to a wide stereo field, so that it seems to "embrace" the whole song. The bass line must be in mono, all the drumlines must have a more limited stereo field (you can, eventually, add on them a very light reverb or, better, use the parallel compression)
On the snare, especially, which is the most beautiful drumline sound here, you could use a different compression, widening the stereo field a bit and adding a stronger reverb.
Decrease the volume of Jenna's voice, which is already very consistent, so as not to bury the music, you can also create a volume envelopment so you can optimize the mix with the instruments in real time.
Yeah I put her in the center with no competing element so I could have afforded to lessen the volume, I was afraid to block her out. I'll revise it and be posting it as soon as I've remastered it. Thanks for lookin out. :)
Being this a preview, maybe you had some improvement in your mind, right? So, for the purpose dnb was created, the general volume of the track imho is too low. Despite this, there's a tiny distortion, more audible in the first half of the track. Pump up the volume (dance!dance!), make some noise! More, don't leave too much "Blank Space" at the end, for some reasons i find it pointless ('cause there's a waste of megabaytes available in your account too, mind it!). Last but not least, try to keep a certain thread in track, in my ears this track seems a collage of several tracks. (It's just my opinion, not the absolute truth)
That said, i would like to listen to complete version asap!
