Not sure about Tokio by night (was never there) but the song is good: I think your mix is outstanding, everything sits very well in the overall sound image.
Good one!
Domenico
Nice song: I like the usage of "broken loops" you are doing here. Interesting.
Personally I did not like too much the "vocals": I think they are not as good as the rest, but this is only my very humble opinion.
Domenico
What do you mean by broken loops? I actually laid everything down in a drum machine and then arranged it in FL Studio. I put all the elements together in pattern form. Then export each track so I can then arrange it and mix it to my liking in FL. So the only loops involved are the ones the LORD blessed me to make. Thanks for the info. God bless.
I think I may have already said this to you, but I really like the "live feeling" on your songs.
It really sounds like a real band is playing.
Good!
I think the song has still some "rough" edges (a couple of notes here and there) but this is good stuff!
Domenico
You have Domenico, and I appreciate the kind words and the support. You are right abpout the need to go in and clean up some spots. I will be on vacay next week and will have the time to go in and do some retakes in certain areas to clean up things. Also want to get better tone on the lead guitar. It needs to shimmer a little.
Thanks for taking the time to listen and leave a comment. It's appreciated.
This is a beautiful song!
I really like the work on the bass: you build a solid background, playing an interesting yet "discrete" bass line.
Maybe the sound is too "modern" for this song, but I think it adds "interest" to it, so this is a good thing.
The guitar parts are good as well and the organ is very well balanced.
This has to be included among one of the best songs using Patricia's vocals.
Bravo: good job!
Domenico
PS: once more I have to agree to BrillBilly... the song reminds "no woman" indeed, I think it is mostly due to the closure of the verse, with the short chromatic scale.
Thanks bro! really appreciate you lending an ear to this and commenting. It means a lot to me! Yeah the Cult was a pretty good band. Thanks again for the replies! =B-)
Thanks for finding this gem Janis!
I like the music, I can hear echoes of the eighties, these years when pop did not mean "easy" at all... and even if I am late, I agree to Chris: there is something of Kate Bush here and there.
Another wonderful song from our talented musician.
Domenico
I'm very grateful to you for your very gentle words, Domenico . They mean a lot to me .
Oh please no, I cannnot accept the comparison with K.Bush !
I'll never sing as she does ! ...
Than you, my friend,
Big hug
Superb song.
I will not add any comment on the "subject": this man should be an inspiration to all of us.
I am very impressed by the music: very professional and intense. This is one of your best ones.
Thanks for the nice moment it gave me.
Domenico
Hello Domenico dear,
I wanted something like a background for joined thoughts or prayers, that's why the level's low .
Thank you for having stayed there for a while .
Wonderful! I always liked this vocal track from JJ but you really made it shine! I love this song man!
Everything is perfect: the fx you apply on the voice (but never too much), the choice of the sounds, the idea of the "stop" and the tempo acceleration in the middle of the song.
Love it.
Domenico
Thanks for the great feedback. The tempo idea came from song called Rush by Depeche Mode where they go to half tempo but I decided to include acceleration.
The song is interesting. I like the synth melody: it is almost out of tune but just that little which adds a dissonant note to the song. Well done.
The countdown voice is OK (nothing too original, but not bad).
Overall a good song.
Domenico
PS: and please let me join the kick debate... it has a lot of highs but I think it is OK so... and I would just add a doubling kick with a lot of lows to have the best of both worlds ;-)
Malu, you have a wonderful touch.
A lot of your musical choices are not "obvious" and I learn a lot every time I listen to one of your productions, regardless the genre.
Respect man.
Domenico
This is good! I am not sure you need a vocal part: if you keep the song as short as it is, I think there is enough going on to keep the listener busy (I enjoyed the 3 minutes of the song)
Ciao, Domenico
Thanks for your comments, I was thinking mostly of a one line vocal hook where the chord change is, I think your right that at 3 mins there is almost enough going on to keep the listener interested. Thanks for listening.
Good track XmafaX.
I like the way you mixed classical elements and metal ones.
As Danke mentioned, probably you could "merge" better the cello (work on the levels? add some reverb? you know for sure better than me how to achieve this).
Good Work! Are you sure it is no available on 180g vinyl?
Too bad! ;-)
Domenico
PS: if you should ever need some bass notes, just drop me a line
thanks for listening and that bass riff on the break is a live recording that i found on a very old Akai disc from way back when. I also have to agree with you that Ms Rabsons vocals in this case are awesome and seem to fit the tune quite nicely,
Really enjoyed this new song of yours Behnam!
I enjoyed boths sides of the "hour" and I really like the "haunting noises" (as Corina calls them) which are following you through all the song.
On the jazzy part... nothing to say! Wonderful bass, the trumpet solo is top-class and everything works perfectly together.
Very well done!
Domenico
PS: I think you are also improving a lot the overall sound quality of your mixes! keep up the good work!
Ciao Domenico , and honoured I'm if U've enjoyed it ,there was two different mood in it as U've said and for me best part was when movement jazzy Bends down to movement one in the middle and by myself I think it was a subordinate level of my trials and grade 2 and nothing was admirable in it .and hahaha (Cor)ina and in fact majority of my friends don't like those hauntong wind which is always blowing in my traX but I don't know why they are always blowing in my mind too and ofcourse my mind has a lot of noise in itself too .any way specially your idea about jazzy part ( according to you know better than me about jazz)and also your important dea about Bass made me glad .thanx for your presence,perception,time,and comment my friend and take care.best wishes.___Behnam.
Very nice!
This is another superb track. I don't know how you manage to change genre so often and always produce interesting stuff!
Good work!
Domenico
PS: I didn't know that Indians had synthesizers but they fit very well in the mix ;-)

PS: I think that the level is indeed a little low, maybe you could apply a limiter to the vocal track and then normalize the level.
