So this a song, right? And the spoken words are my friend Malinda and she's pretty awesome. Still a wip. But I'm loving how this is turning out. I'm using the same drumset as one of my other songs, I know. It's pretty much a place holder til I get something better. Doc Pyro says the vocals are off key but I don't really care atm. I'm not making music for you all to enjoy, I'm making it for myself. I only care if I enjoy it. That being said, if you do enjoy that's just fantastic! If not, I can promise I won't be losing sleep over it. Thanks for reading this wall of crap :D

If you have time take a listen and give zacvoos some feedback.
Since I see you're going through my songs, If you wanna hear more look up Jahjah&Rainso on soundcloud of reverbnation I have a lot of music, albeit shit music, on those sites :D
Malinda's spoken word was a nice touch, actually it was what stood out among everything else.
It was what set the vibe for the track.
I cant give a constructive feedback regarding your build or sounds, because I myself am facing a little bit of a rough patch when it comes to mastering a track.
However, as a listener, and not a producer, I can certainly say I'd listen to the track every now and then.
Instrumental is ok tbh, few eqing issues here n there (too much low end on sounds) but nothing drastic.
Her voice is nice man a few things to try though, is keep her voice to just breakdowns that way she has her own platform to speak because she gets lost in the track when she speaks over the main bits. A nice 1 minute breakdown with a gradual build back up would work wonders for her spoken word bits.
Also slightly side chain compressing the pads/synths against her voice when she speaks will make her stand out more. if you have a stereo delay device put it on the vocal channel, set the left side at 1 millisecond and the right at about 10-15 milliseconds and put the dry/wet all the way to wet. that way she will also have width in the mix.
Hey mate! This is a pretty neat track. Honestly, I don't believe Malinda is off key. After all, spoken word doesn't necessarily HAVE to be on key anyways.
I also agree with TRE24 on the purpose of this site though. I like to believe we all ended up on the good ole Loop cause the universe believes we can make it to the top and only the input of the knowledgeable artists that are on here can make us the best we can be.
I also throw out the offer of any input you would like in the future. Don't hesitate to ask!
This track is pretty golden though. The steady chord progression helps it to drive along. And don't kick yourself on the drum kit, I use the same few samples for most of my songs too. Cause they FIT!! Haha
You should take a stab at my remix competition! I think you could do well!
I understand the purpose of the site. But I'm not down for criticism that is completely unjustified. I do appreciate the comments and suggestions I get on every song I upload and I do listen to people when they are being constructive. But I will also refuse to change something that doesn't need to be changed. Ill be sure to check out the remix competition. Thanks for the comment man. And I'll be sure to get a hold of you for future with any songs I may upload for some input
Yes Malinda is a singer but she was unhappy with her singing the first time through, so I'm waiting for her to rerecord her vocals before I mess with it more.
Lol @ your description. Hey I enjoyed the track man.
Really good uplifting vibes from this one.
Nicely done.
On the other note we all make music for ourselves to live in that moment. But its when you make music for the people and they begin to live in your moments that you begin to build a legacy. Constructive criticism is what anyone who makes music will face and it has helped some of the Greats get to where they are today. You have to learn how submit, take advice, and get better from it. Some can be more harsh than others but I learned a long time ago that the truth really does hurt. So if your not getting better then your stale or getting worse. Their will always be someone with more experience and knowledge on the subject and maybe the smallest of input from them can go for miles. This may just be a hobby for you but I think we all take refuge in getting better in what ever we do.
My goal here is for us all to get better, including myself, and these goals are mere childs play when the community bonds together and work as a team.
With that being said I offer you any input or help on any subject that I have knowledge on in the future at your request.
Anything.
I really thought the track was great. Very uplifting - bring back memories type of track.
Good Stuff Bro.
Id like to hear more.

Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...
Description : Got some spare time finally...just started on some random ideas basically (lets say kygo meets alan walker). A blend of dubstep,edm,downbeat,tropical etc.
It's still a work in progress, so i would appreciate your honest inputs. Thanks to all those whose loops I have used in here, sorry I don't have time to search them out.
Edit-added some more filthy sounds from my previous tracks and gave it some ending. Advice will be helpful.

Isn't Malinda a singer?
From 0.32 and 1.37 there are places for a female vocal...:-)
Fantastic groovy and a melodical synth play from the top EDM LEAGUE...:-)
And actually totally agreed with TRE...
Handshake, Danke
