Description : this track was inspired by a loop "hypnotize" by Danke. I downloaded and arranged it by adding drums, chords, arpeggiated lead and bass to it. Although it is not close to being finished, I thought I would get some early feedback from you guys. Please let me know what you think... I am experiencing with arpeggio as you can tell. :)

Fantastic use of arpeggio . I still don't have the patience to work with sequencers yet. I think I'm tech disadvantaged. Beyond that the instrumentation is also great. Keep up the great work. PDMuzak

This is too good. The structure, the arrangement. And especially that drum pattern. Nice one

Yeah. I kind of play by ear as well. I usually do know what key I'm in, but with complex chord progressions I just do what sounds right and I have no idea of what the chords are. Unfortunately, I'm now finding it hard to play the kind of stuff that you can do. I sold my 76 key Korg and got a little 37 key Virus Polar. The Virus sounds fantastic, but the keyboard is really too small to play good fat chords and melody lines with two hands. Your Yamaha would be much more suitable. I think I took a wrong turn, at least for some types of music.

Hey, Ronabo. I'm back, taking a break from working on my latest track. Am working through all yours and liking what I'm hearing a whole lot. I agree with many of the comments posted already on this one. First of all, this one, like your other tracks is crying out for R&B vocals. I love the chord progression in the middle section. I'd cut back on the arpeggios and keep them for the middle section, but it kind of depends on how things fit with a vocal. If I could sing, I'd be working up something on this one for sure, but I can tell from your tracks that you have a better sense than I do about how to craft a soulful melody line. I expect to learn from your examples. I think the drums need tightening, both in terms of applying some quantizing and also compression. I'm not sure if you've shifted kick and snare timing, but I'd play around with that to get the groove more locked in. Might want to drop the drums levels down in the mix, particularly the snare. Bass line is great. OK. That's my 2 cents worth. I'm off to listen to your next track!

Hey Eric,

I play by ear so I do not know really what key I am playing or what chord progression I am using. I appreciate the comments though and the constructive feedback. Thanks again.

I like it, good grove, would sound good with vocals and a little more low frequencies

Thanks for you comments and I am glad that you liked it. I hear that a lot about my tracks .... that I need more low freqs. I will pay attention to that going forward. Thanks.

Very good tune!
Like the epiano: simple but builds the right carpet for the vocals (really looking forward to hearing it completed).
I like the drums, but maybe the snare could be a bit more "dry", not sure though... and since this is your song I'll let you decide :-)
I also second the idea of Ed: let the listener wait for the arpeggio 'til the first chorus. Maybe you could just serve smaller chops of it as appetizer in the intro.
The track is also well mixed.
Good job!
Ciao, Domenico

Mrwol14, Thanks a lot for these great comments. I really like the idea of chopping up the arp and giving the listener just a taste of it in the intro. I am definitely going to try that. I am glad you think that the track is mixed well... I try but that is my weakness.

Oh yeah....Danke is good musical company for sure...I can hear a nice R&B vocal on this one ronabo...but gotta say its just good listening even as it is...I think I might consider taking the arps out of the intro..and bringing them in for the chorus parts as you did...kind of gives the show away right off the start rather than letting it build a bit...just an idea...and certainly not a criticism..enjoyed it...dm good job....keep on...Ed

Hahh...brilliant track...so special, made for vocs and that's cool...really have space for it, I imagined a good RnB voice for it...May I suggest stg? Thank you! :-) That sharp synth tone is a bit strange in this song...If this is want to be a vocal theme, that's ok, but if not, would you please find another tone for it? Just an idea...

Best for 2014, Danke

ronabo replied 29th Dec 2013 - 11 years ago
Yes.. I do not like the lead either :) ... just thought I would try it and see what happens. I'll come up with a much better lead and post it. Thanks.

Description : R&B track inspired by Brody Brown's work on Bruno Mars' new album. Brown would be entirely unimpressed by this track, of course. He's a really fine musician. I've left the electric piano lines that are meant for vocal parts in the track. If ever I found a lyricist and and singer that could do something with this track, I'd produce a backing track version without those parts. Lots of room for a good singer to build on the melody ideas and make it their own.
