that tracks done bro, i will be bringing it after my next three rap tracks though, but if you want the stems contact me private with a mail address and i'll send it you with the wet and dry stems.
Thanks for the info on the instruments, ZM. I'm on a Mac so can't use Sytrus or Directwave, but I do have equivalents in my arsenal. The key information you gave me, however, is that the bass sound I've been searching for is actually an 808 sound. I'm totally useless at discerning different EDM genres and, frankly, recognizing an 808 or 909 or whatever when I hear it. So, it was more helpful than you can imagine to learn from you that I should be focusing on searching for the 808 sound I want. I definitely can do that now, so thank-you for the guidance on that.
I was reflecting on this exchange with you last night and it occurred to me that we really could use a specialized forum area here on LM where members could ask for advice on how to do various things. I decided yesterday to experiment with side-chain compression on a sustained bass note (1 full bar), ducking the bass (triggered by the initial quarter note kick). I know how to do do this, at least I thought I did, but regardless of which compressor I use, I get a "click" sound from the bass at the outset of each "duck". I don't know what I'm doing wrong and there's no place to get advice on that from LM members who know more than I do. We need the LM forums back I think.
Wow this is truly touching my soul . Totally my style and it just brought me to a peaceful place . May your journey be filled with great adventures , Love it
This track has such a dreamy, laid-back flow to it. Works really well. I liked the lo-fi treatment and the mix sounded great. Very well-balanced and different sounds/instruments were nicely distinct in the spectrum.
I would really like to know how/what you used to produce the bass sound. It's pretty much exactly what I've been trying to create myself, but haven't found the right VST or patch yet. Very smooth. Was perfect for the track.
Hello Eric. Thank you so much for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it as it means something to me.
You might be surprised to hear that I use only Sytrus and Directwave for all of my instruments. As for the 808 bass, Sytrus was used for the samples and Directwave was used to store them as a "program"
I would be more than happy to send it your way if it could be useful to you. Simply send another comment through and ill send it posthaste.
fantastic title, the stylus crackle just adds to what i was expecting, such as sad vibe from the intro. beautiful keys bro the melody is heart tearing and the drum works are oh so subtle, maybe i could write something touching and send you my vocal layout dry and you could engineer it and add it at a later time if you think its ok, your shout Zivon i wont be offended if you say no :)) off the top of my head, one listen
staring out windows where does the time go smelling the primrose as the moonlit dim goes
WOW! I'm smiling here listening to this with eyes closed, it just takes your breath away! the sheer beauty! of this musical journey has an ethereal quality that fills you with tranquility. Pristine & Splendid! work here indeed. I must say you have skills galore! Instant Fave. BRAVO!
P.S. Is that your album cover?...If so it's a work of art.
WOW! this is one of the sweetest! electronic tracks iv heard so far on the loop, usually I'm not a fan of this genre though there are a few that has converted me :) this track is one that I have added to my fave, just such a delicious! track and well produced in it's entirety. Nice! Work Bravo!
Your own field recording to start? I like to do that. Beautiful track, delicate and gentle. When the bass and drums came in I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. But you left me hanging...
This whole track is sprinkled with a touch of beauty & in it's purist form, I closed my eyes & was transported somewhere so beautiful! how delightful! indeed and a breath of fresh air to hear something so sublime! on the loop, OUTSTANDING! Work, only wish it was slightly longer. Bravo!
For the most part, I love it. I have to agree with Dimestop on the panning. If you really want to keep it try toning it down or using a different pan pattern.
nice synth works Zivon the vocal is cool nice melody and beat too its short and ends abruptly but you were just having fun, i would remove the panning thats on the melody section tho, but thats just personal choice
Hey, Zivon! I agree with Manuela. A very beautiful composition. I don't know how most LM members listen to tracks here, but on my headphones (which are pretty good) the music just envelopes you like a warm blanket. Piano melody line was excellent and I especially like the cello parts, which really added to overall mood and feel of the music. Mix sounded great. I really like to hear dynamic range in tracks, not just everything jammed up to the brick wall limit. That variation was evident just from looking at the waveform display.
Hello Z, beautiful but also sad musical topic that you have dedicated yourself to! But in my opinion you have succeeded very well in an expression of musical strength coupled with a soulful combination of this very melodic piano melody and various other supporting instruments, such as the strings, which are used sparingly. The deep bassy sounds and the light drive of the drums carry the piece excellently without dominating it. The voices in the background during the intro create a slightly cinematic character. I like the song very much! Best regards Manuela
Amazing work, haven't heard from you in a while. Listening to your spotify on a regular basis and looks as though a lot of people are enjoying your music.
You simply have to have a talent, an intuition, a feeling for what sounds, fits together, belongs to each other. IT must live in you, IT must "simply" be there.
Technique can be learned, sometimes well, sometimes not so well.
