By Your Side - Feat Farisha - DrvanLansberg

12th Apr 2018 08:54 - 8 years ago
Description : I was playing around with an 80's like EP when a few chords and lines came out. It turned into a ballad like track, guess I was feeling nostalgic in a way :). When I went browsing for matching vocals, the I listened to was a hit. I used Farisha's acapella (and found a second one of hers to complete the track). Ballad like songs are not necessarilly within my comfort zone, but hey, why not try?

Many thanks to Farisha!

OK. You nailed this one for sure. Your revisions to the drum track were, I think, perfect. You made the right decision for sure, leaving syncopation throughout. It definitely made it sound much more contemporary. I think this is one of the very best tracks I've heard on Looperman. Great production. Sounds like a pro production in my view. Deserves more listens. :)

Wow, one of the very best tracks on Loopermnan? What have you been smoking? :-)) But thanks again for your feedback. It REALLY helped me to create a better track.

You did a great job on this one! The vocals are really nicely placed in the mix. Backing instrument track is very nice, especially the EP.

I do have one issue with it. I think the drum part is way too "busy" for this kind of song. I think it competes with the vocals and, to some extent, with the other instruments in the backing track.

I would have used a far simpler, less syncopated beat for the first part with the vocals up to about 2:04. Then, introduced your more complex beat for the instrumental break running up to around 3:40 I think. Then back, to a simpler drum track (but probably with some added elements, but still without a lot of syncopation) for the remainder of the song.

I know from your other tracks that you are really good at fashioning complex drum tracks with really interesting syncopation and it is something that I admire in your music. For this ballad, however, I think simpler is better.

Your ending was excellent. Endings are hard. This was really nice.

Thanks for your detailed feedback Eric. As always (as while ago now, sorry) I appreciate your feedback.

When listening to the track again after reading your comments, I could not agree more. You know I like syncopation :). But indeed I took it too far this time. This kind of track doesn't ask for this kind of drumtrack. At the same time I didn't want it to sound too mainstream if you get my drift. I wanted it to be just a bit different from a standard ballad. So, with your comment in mind, I went back to the drumtrack and removed quite a lot of snares (left some syncopated in though) and shakers and I moved the kick at a few important spots.

I re-uploaded the track now and I think it has improved. This is is why I like this place so much. I get real feedback on how to improve my tracks. Much, much appreciated Eric!

A really great tune. I would even go as far as to say it's modern 80's, which is no mean feat to accomplish.

Enjoyed every second and quite happily listened through to the end. Thanks for sharing :]

Yeah, I recognize that 80'2 feel. I guess it's partly because of the keys. just liked the sound of it. It was no intention at all to make ik sound like 80's :). Often I feel a track is moving itself into a certain direction when creating it. Same happened to this one. And when I put in Farisha's vocals, it was all clear what it needed to be :)

Description : This is cyberflares track nightdrive. He was kind enough to let me jam out with it. Which is what I've been doing the last two nights. So huge thanks to him for letting me. All I did was add some guitar that hopefully sounds like guitar but also doesn't... ;) I've been experimenting with pushing the sounds I can get from guitar to blend with electronic music.
