I like :50 when you come in with that beat. Very nice tune, love the guitar work and chord changes.

on Overthinking staring out windows by dimestop
Very cool chill vibe mate. Your next phase is to start thinking about Consonant expressions in your vocals. The best Vocalists have an innate ability to twist the sound by how they enunciate. (It's kinda why I don't sing very much on my work) Anyhoo. I am back. I needed a break to sort out family trauma and morning. I will be working on some new material in 2024. I have been especially listening to Clannad and understanding some of the more esoteric sounds. I did a chat GPT search for my name (Crucethus) and was pleasantly surprised by the results it gave. That has kickstarted me back. Warm regards my friend, always a listening pleasure.

great to have you back around and im looking forward to your new work. sorry to here about your loss Steven, never a good time for anyone, hope your all good my thoughts are with you.
i have really been putting the work in on music over the last 3-6 months, areas i have heard about but didn't really understand clearly sound structures stereo separation chord progressions key scales frequency ranges etc, so im excepting my work to sound better, also i usually sing from a lyric sheet, even though i know the words i wrote them but still use a lyric text for safety but my last two i stood up and freestyled of the top of my head, i think the delivery feels more natural then but i little more difficult too, thanks again for your support Steven its always appreciated as is your feedback

I love the tension with the strings. The Poiano at the end is also Haunting with Its placements. Well done.

on Off To Collect My Bafta by dimestop
I like that intro fade-in. And I like that abrupt ending. I am glad you are having so much fun doing this now, it's nice to listen to your creations. Happy holidays to you and yours.
dimestop
dimestop replied 29th Dec 2023 - 1 year ago
thankyou Steven its always a pleasure to have you check me out, happy holidays to your lot too, im really having fun now simply because of how ive learnt far more on the engineering side, with a number of vocal cuts multi layered dynamic EQ de-easing reverbs delays all side-chained in, thanks for the shout on the faded intro, i use automation alot now as you probably know anything can be automated from a knob to a slider a vocal chop, giving you a better impact and total control of output and yes bro, i get far more pleasure passing on new found skills to others, just like you said to me many moons ago, your a colleague and friend i respect

on EP4 - The Jungle of my Love by BaoBou
Awesome intro, the bass is tonally awesome. Sweet Chord Structure. I love your Guitar tones as well. I finally bought a Strat Copy and I will be incorporating that in new tunes moving forward. And just like that, the song is over... Very nice my friend, very nice.

on No Turning Back by Micky
I liked this one. The most pleasurable vocals I have heard on one of your tracks to date are really clear sounds in that department. I agree with you about the horns, what I have done in the past is to use a little FX magic, like chorus, a bit on the horns with an ever so slight overdrive on one channel will make that sound more organic. Great work
Micky
Micky replied 27th Oct 2023 - 2 years ago
Hello Steven, nice to see you here again. Thank you for the compliment. And thank you for the good tip about the FX on brass instruments. I'll try it out, but not on this track... it's ok for me the way it is. I still see almost all of my tracks as just exercises. I think I still have a lot to learn before I can get one really good track. Thank you for the really motivating support.
Cheers,
Micky

Bring happiness back... it never went away, sometimes it likes to play hide and seek for a bit. But it always comes back. Nice lyrics Mate, but it's Halloween soon, and we need a spooky tune from yah!

on My Time by BlackFira
excellent tune, melody rocks, I love how you change the modal structure on the 3rd and 4th measures of every Stanza/ Ask someone to sing (female vox) and the vocaloids could be nice b-ground, but do create some space by adding a touch of verb or shimmer on it and widen that track (relay). good mix , sounds like an even eq spread

on In The Air Tonight-dimetime fashion by dimestop
So listen to these guys, they have good advice for you. What I will add, is that Abba's Frida. Frida was solo after Abba's demise and her Daughter was playing this Phil Collins solo album and she fell in love with it. So she had her label contact Phil and he agreed to produce her solo album...

you should add some Snares that are Noise gated like in the eighties to make it more realistic to the aesthetic.
Swedish mega singer Jorn does a cool cover..

on 4-3 - The last thing on my mind by BaoBou
Ahh the mysteries of creativity, I have learned a long time ago, that sometimes when it doesn't work, another approach with no criteria or design unlocks the creative mind. I always liked Brian Eno's Oblique strategies can also unglue a stuck muse. Cards that will say write a song with the color blue in mind, can really make you reach deep into your creative mind without added pressure of results. So nice tune my friend.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 9th Oct 2023 - 2 years ago
Cool, I'd never heard of those but I'll look into it! I am a huge fan myself of John Cleese's book & video on creativity. Not there's a specific strategy I wouldn't do, but just to remind me that the frustration we feel is shared even by the greatest creative geniuses.

Thanks for listening and commenting my friend!

on my nipples are hard just thinking about it by bringerofDOOM
Looks like I'm trading in my Urban Sombrero for a Fedora and a Cane. I felt a teeny bit Inspector Gadget-like in places. Cool Tune mate!

Yeah, a downtuned baritone sax sample gets me all inspector-gadgety every time. Also, you've given me some ideas... thanks for listening.

on EP2 - Clouds are gathering outside by BaoBou
Nice song, I love the chord structures. As I love Bowie and Ferry even more, this reminds me of a Japan tune
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEdX0veLihM
I agree with Manuela, the synths get pushed back too far.
I would love to hear how this one evolves. I just ordered a cheap Stratocaster knockoff from Japan to get my guitar chops back in line. Will go from there.
Steven
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 6th Oct 2023 - 2 years ago
That's a great shout. Japan was a good band (might still be).
Thanks for the tip Steven!! I'll follow up... maybe this weekend if I can get my 2 other tracks and several side projects up and running :D

on The Past Is The Past by igorsamanski
Maybe Vocaloid could work for you. Or take this vox you created and treat it with Valhalla Supermassive or Fab's Volcano. But I like the idea you are pursuing.

Nice tune Wayne. You have such a unique and cool sound. Lotsa influences in this one I can hear.

Hey Steve, hope all is well!

A few bands influenced me, Wolfmother and the Guess Who and the Sheepdogs come to mind.

The Guess Who and the Sheepdogs, great Canadian bands, eh.

on Step By Step 9 - Take Off Your Coat by BaoBou
I feel the bassline drives this one. I also feel some 70's Quiet Sun ethos as well. Awesome tune mate (as always) Funky vibe, Vox is really good mate! Made my evening!
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 10th Apr 2023 - 2 years ago
Yeah it all started from a quick bassline. I recorded the bass loop, added some quick funky drums on the electronic set, some piano, and then the vocals basically wrote themselves and suddenly I had a song. Sometimes life is easy and you don't need that much effort :)
