Picky is good!
I guess I'm just expecting to hear something else than you guys, the upbeat parts (which I myself by the way absolutely prefer over the somewhat boring chilled parts =D) sounded a lot more melodic and tonal in the DAW.

The bass and sub bass are eating up A LOT of space. But I guess it becomes a part of the sound for those who haven't heard this any other way.
I just presumed that you would pick up on that because the sound quality is really bad in those parts.

I wonder why the rendering process does that anyway? Altering the sounds this way. Maybe I'm having wrong presets or just doing something very wrong.

Also, I'm not able to listen to my songs on the computer after rendering because it shuts down the whole system in some way (oh don't ask, I have no idea what the problem is, probably just the computer slowly dying) so in order to hear the final product I need to upload the song here or on Soundcloud.
It's a surprise every time to hear what happend in the rendering process. =)

About the pops - no, it's definitely the sub bass hitting the floor right before the layerd kicks come in. I know where I placed them.

That crossfading feature messed up all my loops in a song ones, so I never used it since but I'll check in to that again. I shoud probably learn how to use it.

I guess you have an interest in the technical side which I really don't have that much.
I also prefer doing things and then leaving them and never come back. An old song is like...OLD to me, not interesting anymore.
That song I made three days ago, with Maaka singing, is feeling old an uninteresting already! And this only happens to my own songs, it's not a problem with music created by others.
I think I'm too concentrated when working with this and then my brain just shuts down after a while and wants to move on to other new melodies and rhythms...

And I do hear all the flaws, very much so even.

Well, thanks for wishing good luck, I'll need it.

Haha thanks.
Drive carefully though (well I'm sure you do, just mum talking here...).

No, music is just a little tiny part of it - it's world domination we are after (yes a multiple "we", there are of course a huge amount of women just waiting for the right moment to make the move.)
(Funny they haven't contact me at all yet, though? But that's a minor issue. The Day Will Come.)
(Yes I'm sure.)

So, yeah it's a man singing.
Infact, this is a part of the world domination plan, all men are turning in to women.
I'm making it happen as we speak. We are starting with altering your voices.

Oh god I need to sleep. =D
Sorry.

Hahaha yes it's definitely off the wall!!
=D

Thanks for listening.

Hi again Steve!
Funny you should write about your top 3 - I've just recently found a new all time favourite on this site: your song "Two Seasons".
Really, really ADORE that song, it even grows the more I listen to it (and I'm one of those crazy people who listen to the same songs for dayes and sometimes weeks, over and over again).
So you liking a song of mine, even for a moment, is a huge compliment, thank you!

Take care!

Hello Static!

So you actually liked this enough to write a comment! That's a surprise considering how picky you are, and the sound quality is more than terrible in this track.

I was listening after the audio pops and I think it's the sub bass dropping that makes that popping sound.

The reverb on the vocals (male vocals by the way - repithed and altered by me) is easily fixable, I'll look in to that also when remixing this - hopefully in the near future.
(I'm trying to catch up with a lot of afterwork with a lot of songs and it feels a little exhausting really...the fun part being the composing and putting together a new soundscape and creating melodies. All the other technical stuff is less fun obviously. But I'm on it.)

Thanks for taking your time and for the feedback!!
Cheers/ SJ =)

I was also seeking for them in order to link to them from here but he must have taken them down for some reason.
Sorry.

So I might win but now that you know it's not me singing I might not anyway?
=D

Well, that's the closest I've ever been to winning in a music competition of any kind so I'm content with that too - to almost maybe win.

Really nice to hear that you liked this, I think this could be my new favourite song of all the songs I made so far(I kind of hate a lot of them too). But that bass issue needs to be fixed and there is some mixing issues and I haven't really mastered this at all (because that's the most boring part and I don't really know how to do it anyway).
Yada yada...

Oh about the vocal - It's actually a man singing, I just pitched it and altered the tempo and some other things.
So much for the ethereal, dreamy female singing here but that's what I had for the moment so I altered it to sound the way I wanted it to sound and it turned out pretty good, right!

I was thinking about us women taking over in V. Solanas style but just because you're being this manageable I think we are going to do it in a more friendly way. The next level is coming any day now.
Bare with.

Thanks for the advice!! Have to try that. How do you guys know this technical stuff, anyway? It's the boring side of this production bussiness, to remember all that technical gibberish.

Really glad you liked this though, I imagined that it would be too far off for most people here.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Danke!
This one is for the Looptrack competition and I made it today. And it really has big issues with the bass totally taking over!!
That's not what I heard in the DAW...anyway, no matter, it's all just for fun.

Take care Danke!
