Mmmmm Did you save us some apple pie to go with this sweet treat too? Going get diabetes from all this sweetness!! I'll have to invest in one of those mics! I record my acoustic guitar and voice samples with my cell phone voice recorder (nothing but professionalism). :p I have a sure mic but its so muffled sounding I don't bother with it.

Haha. Yeah, the mic is amazing. It looks super vintage and silver and amazing and it picks up sound in just the right way--not to hot, not full pops, and it can handle both loud and soft sounds--although when I start to sing loud high notes I need to put it reeeeeeally far away from me.

Love the track and really sweet vocals - plus I quite the drums and beats being "a little off" ?

very nice effort! I really like both vocal parts, you did it very well. The instrumental will need some adjustments - especially hihats, crash cymbals, reversed cymbals and similar stuff sound a little strange with the wobbling bassline to me. let us say: it is very eclectic work but for sure there is some other way to mix it better.
Congrats on the vocal work! Alex

Wow what kind of mic did you buy? It sounds great! For being new to the electronic genre, you're not bad
:D One of the biggest things with electronic music, however , is having a solid structured song. I noticed I some parts were out of sync and this is passable considering you're still learning but I would recommend looking into MIDI to help you. Practically every producer uses it or has used it at one point. So far, this track is decent. You can only go up from here! The vocal is amazing :D

Thanks ER! It's nice to have the feedback and encouragement. I bought a Blue Yeti, which cost me $019 on Amazon. It's a USB mic that was pretty plug and play friendly once I figured out how to get my DAW to recognize it.

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.
