Close My Eyes Ft Mhyst - SeriouslyJoking

I'm not really sure what I'm going for with this particular song, I'm actually also working on an other song at the moment and trying to learn all sorts of things to make that song sound the best it can and this one popped out from that Project, as I tried to create sweeping pads with the 3xosc (and failed miserably as you can hear - no sweeping sounds at all).
I'm with you there when it comes to preferring raw and natural sounds really but it's not suited in all musical styles I guess.

Looking forward to hearing that new acoustic song of yours!

Hi Mosaic!

No didn't change the pitch on Mhysts vocal but I layered it a couple of times - 3 times actually - to get a fuller sound and applied a flanger effect on one of them which is hardly noticeabel but gives a little edge to it (thank you Youtube-tutorial!!! =D) So maybe that's what You are hearing?
Although I messed it up a little by not checking that all the layers were sitting exactly the same way on top of each other so it's sounding a bit uneven at times...oh - I EQ'd the vocal also, just learned how to do that in a better way.

Well anyway - thanks for listening. Really sweet of you to think it could almost be on the radio! Haha. It's the great vocal that does it, so I'll pass that one compliment over to Mhyst.

Take care Mosaic and see you around!

Hello Alex!
Noted and agreed about the drum volume.
About the 8bit chip tune sound - yes I tried to keep it very simple and not add much reverb at all (which i always overdose).
Also tried to follow the drum line with all the synths so had to keep the sounds kind of dry. But I think I compressed some of the sounds too much, the song is sounding VERY flat. Have to get some of the dynamics back if I redo this some day.
Thanks for listening!

Tjenixen Orlando!
I just finished listening to your song and everything is sounding really flat, dead and undynamic in comparison. :D

Had to check out Bronski Beat - I loved those songs! Not sure where the similarity is or if there is one but I take it as a great compliment anyway! Thanks.

Take care! / SJ =)

Tack Steve!

The circle of 5ths? Have to remember that.
Thanks for listening, Steve.
I'm of course hearing a lot of errors after uploading, the vocal doesn't sit very well and I think I compressed away all the dynamics...well it's all just a learning process.

Cheers!
