on Haunted Copyright Saint7x 2013 by Saint7x

You have a nice sound working with this. (And this is not a negative but a truly honest question) But Bobby I am interested in what your opinion is on what makes this sound so original vs anything that's been recorded before, especially in the hip hop beat department? What are your musical influences. Musically it's very simple chord progression. (again not a negative as California from Dr Dre was a simple chord progression as well(RIP roger Troutman)). Sorry if it seems I am picking on you , but I read your (boastful) description and was curious why you think that this stands above or separate from the crowd of beats?

Saint7x replied 3rd Nov 2013 - 12 years ago

I Totally understand, and I know where your Coming from when you make that Statement, its an Extremely professional Question and statement and no offense taken :) Personally, and Professionally, I'm sorry if It came off as boastful, but all I really wanted to state is thatt I'm really trying to develop the next sound, where to it becomes a trend, because most mainstream songs have always kept an invisible (in my opinion) barrier to kept it an original genre. Like if a song is called rock it will traditionally have guitars etc. And I would like for songs to be more multigenre and uniquely distinct from traditionally labeled genres :) but great feedback, I appreciate the question too!

on melodic synth draft by doudei

Awesome sequencing and arpeggiation. I can see a sort of mixed syncopated beat working with this. curious to hear the end results.

doudei replied 1st Nov 2013 - 12 years ago

thanks a lot Steve! and you suggested exactly what my first attempt at some percussion/beat was. :)
and sure, i'll gladly let you know when there's something new, cheers!

on Una Caricia De Sol - Featuring Carlos by ScottFranco

nice, very Santana like! Nice job on this

ScottFranco replied 30th Oct 2013 - 12 years ago

Thank, Crucethus. Franco does some nice Santana style feel in his playing. He's a great player to work with being I'm a big fan of the early Santana.

Ciao,
Scott

on Reworked remix Pieces ft Devyn Rose by SeriouslyJoking

O.K. I listened to both. I like the original a little better. I think what I would like to hear in the remix is a few changes if possible. The vocal accapella track has a very chorused almost phased effect on it and I think having the vocals clean with a natural reverb or delay would be better. at:59 of the old remix the piano and the vocal melody clash musically (the verse). I really like the chord structure for the chorus as it reminds me of Heaven 17's "Geisha Boys And Temple Girls "
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edgjl5zPW6g&html5=1
This song is the style of music you do,
What you can learn from it is they were successful by making a strong chorus and a vocal that is clean and clear.
Maybe on the verse structure at:59 instead of the jangly verbed piano use something else musically, like a deep bass sound. That's my take so far on this one.
Steve

SeriouslyJoking replied 27th Oct 2013 - 12 years ago

Hi Steve!
That's really helpful advice - I'll try that bass sound and also one thing I noticed now is that I like the melody in the first verse a lot more than the one coming later which I sort of chose to be the main chorus this time...why did I choose that one anyway???
Strange thinking from me.

And that Geisha Boys song made me smile - never heard it before. Good advice about making a strong chorus, I'll try to do that also.

About the vocal, I tryed my hand on EQ'in it and a hole lot of other elements in the song so my guess is that I EQ'ed away the good sounds...lol!
Not easy being an amatour.

Thanks heeps for helping me out with this, Steve!
And have a nice day/evening. /SJ

on As Freedom Dies by topvega

In my opinion it belongs in rock. Been Listening to some old Nazareth lately and in some ways this has that feel to me (minus the drums).

topvega replied 26th Oct 2013 - 12 years ago

Never would have associated this with Nazareth but I think I I know where you are coming from. Love Nazareth by the way. Thanks for taking the time to give it a lsiten and for leaving a comment.

Hey really nice work! Good Vocals, nice sad piano and driving beat. I think you have invented Doom-R&B.
Great job!

on When the World keeps going On by Pippa777

It's a good start. I was thinking that you should harmonize with yourself. Right after you say and we don't stop singing, there should be another voice singing0---A440tuning And (G1) We (E1) Don't (D2) Stop (B1) Sing (A1)ing (G1)--- around :43 seconds in I would do that and have fun with the vocals overlapping. and keep building that beat into doubletime until you can make it into a serious danceable tune, then U have a winner.

on Loving You - Remix of Easy by Mat Zo n Robinson by SeriouslyJoking

Hey this is a good one from you! remember the great DJ and remixer from the sound factory NYC ,Junior Vasquez, never listened to the original song before he remixed a tune (Check out Cher's moonlighting theme)

Steve

SeriouslyJoking replied 11th Oct 2013 - 12 years ago

That remix was superb!! I had never even heard of Junior Vasquez, thanks for educating me!
The remix sounded as if it had been done just recently, it hasn't aged at all - a really cool house beat.

And thanks for feedback!
Take care. =)

on Unrequited love -Original Song- Soleil Lune by SoraSolitudine

It's about time you explore your own compositions... don't worry about the simplicity in chord structures of this piece, your arrangement is sublime. you have the (natural talent) ear for arranging music. I hope you learn as much as you can. My early compositions were simple chord structures. ( I just put one on looperman) I was fortunate to study in (college) music theory and to be exposed to many forms of music. But I will always remember that obsession I had with making music when I was 16. the same obsession you have, and don't worry about professionals and music theory majors in school, just follow your heart's desire of music when you can and enjoy what you create.

on Late Nite Chill by TCAS

Nice Tune, for some reason early on the bass-line reminded me of Lil' Louis "French kiss".

TCAS replied 3rd Oct 2013 - 12 years ago

That's another type of sound... but it has the same feel on it!

Cheers,
