Description : This is a very old track that I sort of half remastered because I thought it actually had a pretty nice sound (except for the first verse, that one is just terrible). Please let me know what you think of it, and any feedback is always extremely appreciated!

If you have time take a listen and give MrSpookd some feedback.

I like the lyrics, good melody. Really like the synth that comes in at 1:15. The vocals are smooth. I would add backup vocals even if they were just the same singer layered to give the vocals a little more punch.

Thanks for the comment, however the lyrics aren't mine. The synth is tho. I've never tried back-up vocals, because I thought it would mess it up, but the other day I heard a track that does it and it actually worked. So I will see how it works out in other tracks. Thanks for the feedback, I will upload the synth as a loop. :D

Hey hoo
SharpNotes. Like bleep in the first post said, or measuread, you will find people that love that song. For me, i am Stoner Rock Blues Rock drummer and since more than 5 years into Ableton Live and for a short time , i am using an MPC Studio as plugin within Live. I also learned technician, and i know its really not easy to Master a song ;) so it fits an radio sound...
I have to admit, i never really tried it^^
BUT...this song is worth that you take some euros, dollars whatever in your hand and bring it to a mastering Studio.
Just my opinion. We live in an age , where easy going songs, if you allow me to say that are more welcome to the people rather then song about problems. Think of it. and again , not my kind of music , but really a nice TRACK.
Greetings from Vienna / Austria

Hey there, thanks for the comment. I know what a mess mastering can be. I've had a really hard time since the beginning, and I've been trying to get it right but my brain just doesn't know how. For some people it's as easy as turning a few mixers down and adding some limiters (or that's what I like to think), for me it becomes a gaint mess with EQs everywhere in every channel and I end up making it way worse. Like waaaaay worse. So I stop trying so hard and just let the music flow as I think it sounds the best through my headphones. I guess a mastering studio wouldn't hurt though, I'll look into it. Thanks again for your comment :)

I can't find the kick in the chorus/drop.

MrSpookd replied 25th Jul 2017 - 9 years ago
Had to turn down the overall bass because it overflowed the rest of the song, but yeah that does include de kick and now it has a weaker drop :( you can't have everything I guess.

Great track here! I'm a huge fan of house music and I have to say, this one was definitely not disappointing. This actually sounds very mainstream. One thing you could probably do to add to this is duplicate the vocals and layer them on top of each other. You could even add a reverb on top of the duplicated vocals and pan it more to the left while the main set is panned more to the right.

If I was you I would experiment with filters on the main vocals, as well as duplicating them once more, adding some cool glitch effects to it and placing the glitch set in sections of the song where the main vocals are not. These are just ideas though, but overall very nicely done.

MrSpookd replied 25th Jul 2017 - 9 years ago
Interesting ideas, vocals have been a sort of new spectrum to my music (I only started using them since I found Looperman) so I haven't figured out any sweet effects yet. But I will look into it. Thank you for the positive and elaborative comment :)

If you changed it then I need to listen again. I don't always comment straight away because I'm to knackered to do more than listen so you've obviously changed it since my post.

I agree with Cru.
The side chaining is clawing at the voice.
Otherwise a great track that could have commercial possibilities.
MrSpookd
MrSpookd replied 24th Jul 2017 - 9 years ago
I thought I changed the side-chaining and re-uploaded the track? Maybe Looperman won't let you change the track itself after all :(

Hey Sharpnotes you have produced a very pro sound here and I do like the vocals which is very unusual for me. Nice upbeat and uplifting sound well done regards Robbie.

I do like it. My only complaint is that the side-chaining has bled into the vocals as well and that is a little distracting. correct that and it´s spectacular!

Thank you for the feedback, there was indeed some sidechaining applied on the vocals because back then I thought it sounded more "house-like". I've changed it now tho, so thanks again for your comment and I'm glad you liked the rest of it!

I really dig this! Very well arranged and mixed! Only critique would be that the drop is a little weak. Otherwise, it's a really good song!
MrSpookd
MrSpookd replied 23rd Jul 2017 - 9 years ago
Thanks for the feedback, I'm flattered :D the drop is indeed not one of my best, but I didn't feel like changing it because it would mess up the flow of the song.

hello sharp,

i'm not really fan of this kind of house, too many singing vocals and the ambiance remember me "commercial tunes" like d. Guetta or others... i prefer underground sound lol but i respect your work and i'm sure you'll find people with positive comments (even if mine is not negative ;))

Just one think: can you remasterised the sound?

Friendly

Hey there,

thanks for your comment, any kind of feedback from any perspective is appreciated. Progressive / mainstream house is sort of my style, unfortunately, and I wasn't planning on changing that :P

PS: What do you mean exactly when you asked whether "I can remasterised the sound"? I don't understand.

Description : New and kinda final version of track using acapella from JakeBuzzad.
Instrumental track recorded with Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboard, MPD and various percussion then vocals and movie samples added in cuebase (all samples taken from public domain movies from the 1940s-1960s.

It should now be in a half decent stereo mix - however, I am deaf in one ear and it makes it difficult to get the cross over right so feedback / comments more than welcome.

Thanks
