Description : I had this amazing vox: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/5256 and drums by Eos and Mmedia to work with and this is what I came up with.
The acapella is from Porter Robinson and Mat Zo's tune Easy, so technically it's a remix, but I actually heard the original after I made my own song around the vox so it's not similar at all...maybe that's a good thing, I don't know.
But I really did my best with this one and tried to use everything I learned so far while mixing and mastering and I'm actually almost happy with the result.
Work in progress though...the piano comes out in one ear and the vox in the other so something went wrong anyway. =D
Edit: I'm NOT happy at all anymore - hearing all the flaws now...
Feedback will be much appreciated!

Liking this one of yours, but needs a lot of tidying up,very nice vocal, never heard of the artist on the loop but might have to check her vocals out now after hearing her singing here, Like others have said seems to have a few flaws that seem blurred into the mix, personally I would add heavier beat to give deeper house feel to the track, This could be a very special track if flaws of the mix could be sorted, has so much potential to the track, really hope you re look at it, if you do please let me know would seriously love to hear it again when fixed up....Peace n Respect...Mosaic...PS I know you could sort this out going what I have heard of your other works here, been impressed with what I have heard previously....
Hey do...(swedish) lady,hmm i"m reading your text with the song. It's not so bad at all. The piano........your using FL..? do you use the "parametric EQ2 in you mixing track? i think not. If so then drop the 50 & 100 HZ. piano sounds better with the baseline. And not to much reverb..........:)) keep it clean. I like the song.....deep house...
Arps are nice :)
Delays on them is good too :)
There seems to be a lot of compression, almost limiting the pads to sound different than I think if they were to be uncompressed. Though, I know the power of compression and how good it can be :)
Beat I feel is too low in comparison to the rest of the tracks within the tune. Kick needs to be more prominent, give it more flow and emphasis; though not too much compression, or clicks start to form.
Piano is a bit too loud and ducks the entire track a little.
So over all, all that's needed is a little mastering/mixing :)
Nice tune!
I think why you may not be happy with this is that it is missing a solid bass groove to hold the rhythm together. Without it it sounds very ambient eclectic. I know the type of dance music you like in the clubs and maybe gear the bass and percussion towards that and you will be satisfied!

Hi Steve!
Yes, it's the bass missing and also the overall state of the mix and mastering.
It's too long also...a lot of flaws really!
I need to look in to that bass groove thing more closely, I still have a lot to learn about that.
hey SJ wish everything goes fine with U .I've find this chance to take a listen to our wonderfull tallented mama music maker & got surprised !soon it'll be 1 year for U & annual rate of growth of your skill in music has been oviously wonderfullly triffic.
this one is groovy & energizer .there's a pleasurable psyco mood in this deep house track which has a bit dark ambient music flavour too , is verywelldone & U've designed a considered interval between vocal's scale & instrumental which is adorable & innovative . my thumb up & greatest respects .take care .____Behnam
Thank you for listening and leaving a comment!
I like this track a lot myself, too bad I still haven't learned how to do a proper mastering/EQ'ing...it's clicking and popping a lot.
Hi SJ,
We have a good song here.
I really like the piano part.
I think you still have to figure out how to mix it perfectly with the voice, but please do not remove it: I would rather chop-out the vocal instead!
Do not touch that piano!
I simply love it.
Ciao, Domenico
On no not the vocal!!
Haha - well I'm going to have to think about that. The vocal is of a very poor quality - not the vocalist and the singning but the the sample itself so it's hard to make it sound good in the mix. Or hard to me to do so, anyway.
Thanks for the feedback, Domenico!
Trying to continue working on this shortly.
you should dial down the frequency on the phaser, it's way too hissy, you know the phaser? I'm assuming you used a phaser effect device on this, any way the bass drum sounds pretty good pretty deep
Hissy sounds funny! =D
But yes, I think I'm following - I'm actually just now learning about EQ'ing and practising on an other song (until now I just cheated with all the EQ'ing stuff and not really done that much of it at all) and when I figure out how to do it more properly I'm going to EQ this song. Or well - it has to be finished first...but after that.
Your ears were right - there is a phaser.
Thanks for listening and for the advice, you talented guy!
Take care.
again it's a very good song. I agree the acustic piano is a little loud in places especially next to the vocal. And or maybe bring the vocal up a little louder in the mix??? It's all relative. But beside those tweeks it's a totally cool song. say where did you get the vocals???
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) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEXUllZhm5w&html5=1
Steve
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.
Hi SeriouslyJoking!
I like it, nice play with the vocal. The kick could use a little bit more bounce/bass! And sometimes I miss the rhythm a lil' bit. So maybe let the synths 'communicate' with percussion a bit more. Overall great job! It has a soothing feel to it, and uplifting. Cheers!
Yes, or well - I didn't think of it as a remix from the beginning, of course.
This guy Gezus uploaded the Acapella here and I fell immidiately in love with it and had to make a song around it.
THEN I discovered the original track...haha.
I'm so glad you liked it - I really tried my best creating this. Although there is still plenty of room for improvement.
Thanks for listening, friend!

Description : An attempt at writing a deep house track. Recorded in some guitar, chopped out some loops and built the track around it. Not sure if you could call it a deep house track though but there you go.
Description : A slightly hypnotic song here, a little impulsive but also comes very relaxing.
As always tinged slightly dark.
I knew again not what kind of a genre it is really.
Therefore, it is under Deep House because that fits in my opinion, quite good. But who knows ....
Who wants to understand the text, but not be German, which can be read by a translation.
To see under - Lyrics ....
Hopefully you like this song - feedback would be nice.
Description : So I took just one pad phrase that Alex wrote and built this monstrosity entirely around it. A gentle deep house ambient sentiment with soft jazzy pianos and deep and dirty bass withs lots and lots of percussion. I really like this one And I hope you do too!
Description : Instrumental version - NOT THE FINAL MIX
Used loops and vox by Joe Funktastic, Loop by Sharpnotes, vox by Sheba (who doesn't seem to be on this site anymore). If I've left anyone out I'll come back and edit this.
Anyway, I haven't uploaded anything in a while after a death in the family. Hope to remedy that with more tracks.

Somtimes a banana is not enough, so i turned up my smoothie mixer added some strawberries and this got me back to my roots. I started with fl and deep house. I programmed a slow analog drum machine Blofeld mixed with 808 and Rickenbacher Bass.
Description : Strated making this Deep House styled track yesterday and yea... :D Hope you people like it or dont like it :) and feedback would be great always :)
Description : Again some new experiments. Welcome to my first G-House attempt! It was pretty muck constructed with loops but i also used some one-shots from my packs. Enjoy, comment and download! Peace.
Description : Another wee tune I made in Ableton, I found a cool funky guitar loop on here from a user called Danke and also a vocal from a user on here called Searz. The rest I made myself using various samples and instruments
Description : Thank you very much to everyone and please feel free to leave your comments

Looking forward to hear what you thought.
I'm not satisfied at all with this track anymore, there is some serious issues with the sound quality overall and my EQ'ing skills really suck...
So I better stop whining about it and get back to work.
Going to check out your stuff later!

Lol.
No, just kidding.

The vocal is from here, uploaded by Gezus: http://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/5256 but I'm not sure who the vocalist really is. It's supposed to be a sample from an older song :http://www.whosampled.com/sample/193791/Mat-Zo-Porter-Robinson-Easy-Colourblind-Nothing-Better/
Anyway - thanks for listening and for the advice!!!

Good addvice! Thank you - that's what I need.
I'm noticing a lot of flaws now which I even didn't hear before...
To be continued, I guess.
Thanks for listening!
I actually don't know who the vocalist is...which is strange.
But thanks! I appreciate the comment, the fav and thank you for the listen.
Take care!
