on I Like Me Better - STK Remix by NateJMusic

on Hours And Hours by StaticNomad
So some clarifications. My Domo Arigato comment was to comment how that section had a Japanese modal structure and questioned was it out of place. Domo Arigato of course is a very formal ¨Thank you very much¨ in Japanese. In no way was I referencing the 1983 Styx tune Mr. Roboto, but I can see where the disconnect might have come from. Moisture level -3. Yes 6:06 does have a nice cello bass pluck. reminds me a little bit of the remix of love you down by INOJ back in the nineties. yes the cello in the section leading up to 8:06 and the ambient change-up is complex in its build and layering and very cool.

about :49 in we get the drum & bass lite sound that this version took on. I could hear you do an excellent cello mix of this one though.
and of course the original ready for the world version.

Anyhow I have to go back to what I was doing. as this seriously cuts into my sitting around and doing nothing time!!! #S
Cru, qui vous rend ridiculement humide.
I may be a total Bromad but am I really standing my ground?
Yes - the sort of Japanese section is quite cool and unusual but I don't know why it has a Japanese modal structure. I just went for whichever notes seemed to work (not many id so this is the end result). That's a plucked harp instrument used there, with synth bass playing something very similar. I think it's an odd, additional flavour.
"Moisture level -3."
You mean you're negatively moist? You're drying up? It's summer (even in Canada) so get yourself some water otherwise you may shrivel to a crusp.
"cello in the section leading up to 8:06 and the ambient change-up is complex in its build and layering and very cool."
Probably my favourite cello sections.
Wow, Let Me Love You Down is a really cheesy, wimpy song! The remix is only a little better but mostly because of the drums.
"this seriously cuts into my sitting around and doing nothing time!!"
I agree. Why waste time commenting on my tracks? And then I have to waste my time replying. We really need to remove the comment facility on this site. It'll leave us more time for making music and more important things such as having arguments and posting stupid picture memes on Facebook.
Static HoursMad, qui vous trouve ridicule.

on Hours And Hours by StaticNomad
Nice ambient opening, spry like bass that sounds content and happy emotionally. Bass is strong. You are playing cello in a riff like style, which is cool, it adds a new expression for this instrument. 1:40 is that amen break for d&B we have all been waiting for. 2:27 is a subtle pad that I would like to hear brought up in the mix and then lead into maybe a guitar like passage. nice faux harp BTW. 3:30 we go into a moody hip hop beat with minor and minor 7th chords and a darker outlook. Nice chord structure 4:15 on to the break, which is perfectly needed. I like doing those with just some airy pads. I would have kept it going for 2 more measures to make a statement. But amen is back and so is your pluck. Domo Arigato for 5:43 but slightly out of place ehh?! 8:06 nice drums and ambient pads over that bass line. That works real nice for me there, almost like your putting the song to bed soon. and a glistening ending with a soft fade of ambience . very nice ending. it´s a good song and very uplifting you should be proud of the hard work you have put in to this one, You can hear your cello skills are improving and the cohesion is starting to remind me of your guitar based tunes. As you have delved into your cello, i have delved into my DAW learning how to mix and engineer better, to tighten my tunes. (remove reverse cymbals (lol)) And you can hear the hard work of your study and practice coming together. So I am most impressed, maybe even a little moist.
Always a pleasure.

A good, hefty review from you - probably the only one I'll get on this track.
I had some problems with that ambient opening but it sounds OK. And then we're into the riff that started the whole track off. I really like it and have made it quite funky before it heads into d'n'b breakbeat territory. It returns there in three different forms (pizzicato, spiccato and regular bowing).
" that amen break for d&B we have all been waiting for."
I had planned to start with just d'n'b drums and then subtly bring the main riff in but the half tempo first section worked too well so I went with that.
"2:27 is a subtle pad that I would like to hear brought up in the mix"
Just a subtle choir voice pad that is heard more clearly at 8:06.
"nice faux harp"
Yeah - tricky to get that glissando harp right but it adds and unexpected additional flavour.
"3:30 we go into a moody hip hop beat"
I love that drum loop and failed to recreate it in programmed drums form, which I really wanted to do.
"Nice chord structure"
Yes - very satisfying to play!
"4:15 on to the break"
Gotta have a drumless break in a lengthy track like this. And then come back strong with some fast ambient chilling.
"amen is back and so is your pluck. Domo Arigato"
Yes - some layered, plucked harmonics. And bowed ones.
"Domo Arigato for 5:43 but slightly out of place ehh?!"
I had to look Domo Arigato up again. Not sure how it sounds like that 80s hit song. Is it out of place? Maybe but hopefully a fun surprise.
And then you miss out on passing comment on my favourite cello sections. Nice, layered harmonics leading into a cool bowed part.
"almost like your putting the song to bed soon"
That's just what I'm doing. 8:06 section feels like it should go on for quite a while as there's a new energy. But I didn't want the track to go over 10 mins.
"very nice ending"
Thanks. Good to end on some gentle, winding down chill.
"the cohesion is starting to remind me of your guitar based tunes."
Just as well as my guitar playing is pretty rubbish and seriously uninspired these days. I hardly even pick it up! My skills have deserted me.
"i have delved into my DAW learning how to mix and engineer better"
You have and it all sounds better than before. No lead reverse cymbal!
You may Cruvaccinate but do you Cruvaginate?
Il me plait de te faire un peu mouille.
A bientot...

this is a good song keep working it. I am happy you are branching out trying new sounds. That´s the best way to improve and keep climbing the stairs of artistic semblance.
Also Centralsdev, never makes any sense when he try´s to engage you about effects, and compression, your best bet is too just to nod nicely and move along without poking the sleeping bear.
keep on keeping my friend, always good to hear your evolution. us older folks are counting on you so we get some backstage passes some day! ;-)
