This is very cool. Lots of fun sounds that work together. I agree with the vocal mix maybe being too low, or perhaps benefiting from an exciter to wake it up in the mix. lately I sidechain and duck my instrumental bus by .5 to 2 decibels and I'm often surprised by how much I can duck it to make space without making it obvious. You both did a very nice job here. Good on it!
I'm surprised that the vocal seems under-emphasized. That is usually one of my own pet peeves! But I am returning this morning for one more go at a mix. Thanks for your listen, your thoughtful comment, and really happy you enjoyed.
It means a lot that you know my stuff enough to recognize this is new territory for me. I am happy you had a chance to listen and glad if it was working for you.
It has one of the rules that I pass every time I want to make some music ... Time ... its really necessary to put enough time on a work but I cant , I dont have enough time ... and i think the most , this is really good song in everything
She seems special in several ways. beautiful voice, musical, and apparently an astute business woman. I am happy to have heard back from her now in a positive way. Thanks, Trippy. Dan
Nice work, midisparks. I feel the vocals need to be brightened and the structure of the song might need some tweaking but other than that it's calming.
Very much appreciate these specific comments OViea901. What might be done to brighten vocal? What is your thought on structure? Thanks and have a good one! - Dan
I have to agree that this sounds very different from your usual work, and I felt this way after the first few bars. The vocal is a nice touch as well, but I find myself focusing on the music, which is of course massively better quality when compared to the vocal part. The vocals do have an old school vibe, partly due to the lower fidelity, which works in a jazzy sort of way. I would like to so the whole mix gently degraded with something such as tape saturation, tube dynamics processor, or even an old rack EQ - and then mixed back with vocals. I think it would bring it together with a nice old school vibe. Just a thought... music makes me do that sometimes, ha ha. I enjoyed the track a lot! Fave!
Hey Pat. Glad you had a chance to check this one out.
Yea - it was quite the departure for me. As far as vocal goes - there was some editing needed and working with a pre-recorded a capella is never ideal. Generally the reaction to her voice has been that it's sexy, nice.
I am looking for guitar or synth fills, then a new mixdown. What elements do you think would be needed for this to work in the club? I suppose we would ask the singer to record again against a track to get vocal up to par?
Any interest in taking this one the distance with me?
Soon as that voice came in I was transported to the cinema and the opening of a film!
Very different from your usual stuff.
Enjoyed now I'm going to watch the film.
Really happy you like the sound kingmadi. sometimes work falls into place without too much stress. I enjoyed working out the changes for this one. I am hoping my collab will take one more crack at mixing. Thanks again. Dan
Glad to hear it Magnetic! It's venturing into somewhat new territory for me. I am fortunate to have mindhiest collab on this one. A few final touches to go and we will call it a wrap. Regards - Dan
means a lot that you tune in to the changes. that's really my contribution here. she's got the voice for sure. thanks for stopping by Lank. See you round cyberhood. Dan
Wow, whoever this artist is, she has a great voice. Very soothing. It's too bad that she left the site. The track complements her voice really nice. I love the bass patterns and how you switch the bass sounds.
This makes me want to do a Dance track. It's been awhile for me. Really cool track man. Keep the music alive!
Thanks. Yea - her voice is sweet. Mindheist really felt the phrasing of my changes and that, along with his changing up the sounds, is working well. If my brave venture into this genre has inspired you I'm happy. Thanks again. Dan
hey dan , very nice what you have done with the synth. and it is better at 133 bpm. I know the vocals are hard to work with but you have done a great job. I know it is not finnished but it is very tight now, great job. let me know if you need anything from me.
thanks roland. i am liking the simplicity of the rhodes sound but not necessarily married to the other synth sounds although having some pluck in there seems dancy. pm coming. Dan
Thanks Burt. yea. i think it makes sense to build around what is available in the way of pellas on looperman rather than write something and figure out how to get a vocal into it. i'm feeling less intimated about writing with voice now that this one is under my belt.
Hello Dan,
I think you've done a wonderful job here.
You and mindheist are both very talented artist, I believe your talents is clearly evident in this track.
Really Well done to both of you.

I appreciate it Jamid. Having some fun messing with different synths and hopefully will land on some interesting sounds and effects when it is all said and done.
thanks for the listen. the chord progression took a minute but I'm happy with it. now for more variety with the synth, some effects, and some solos/fills! thanks again.
I appreciate your checking it out Billionz. Definitely in a raw state. Looking for sounds, variety, trying to dip my toes in a new genre. so any input is much appreciated.

Description : I have been using LooperMan for practice for some time now. This my most recent track. The only loop in the song is BabyGee's vocals. Free to download and if you repost tag me so I can share it as well.
Description : A psychedelic techno cello epic. It's not really techno as it's only 110 BPM but something like that (eg breakbeat), with lots of banging beats and arpeggiated acid synths, plus a whole load of my layered cello playing techniques. There aren't that many synths used but they do a lot of work and are carefully automated. No guitar. Drums are mostly a lot of drum loops, supported by a few programmed acoustic drumkits. Very busy and complicated with loads of different sections (funky, chilled, fast, heavy) that make up a constantly progressing trip. I don't know if there's any other cello music like this so let me know if you think there is. Interesting feedback appreciated - criticism, praise, ideas etc. Enjoy...
Description : Summer type dance track, for those precious 2 weeks off, if you can get them! Made around a selection of different loops and some keys from me.
Description : Inspired by an experimental percussion piece I heard. Rhythmic ticking builds into pounding beats and heavy soundscapes. I haven't done any mixing or mastering yet so tell me what you think. Any and all comments are welcome.
Description : A song about a damaged soul. Sadly, based on a true story. Gorgeous loops here are by Hardstyle Rythm, Aboe, and Princess Hollywood. All basslines by that fiendish genius Rasputin. Take a bow, gentlemen
Description : Pretty basic dance track. Was experimenting with the Falcon synth plugin, hence the name. Instrumentation for the melody lines might be a bit unusual, more orchestral. Vocoder is from the Icarus synth plugin, a great new instrument.
