impressive production level on this. reminds me of local radio station tunes from the late 90s. that switch up at 1 min caught me off guard but it's definitely a nice flow. Vocals reminds me of Gorillaz/Fat Boy Slim. Fresh

Seems like you were using some cool effects.

The instrumental is so groovy and your vox is so unique. It brings a unique and distinguished vibe to the track. I enjoyed it all the way through. Good work, pal.

thanks sp, nice to see you around. i appreciate your listen. ive done a few different genres now. i like a good roast but synth pop and three chord changes, i had to come up with something different, i was happy with the transitions. i'll be on your new track a little later mate, expect a comment :))

Hi Paul, been a while but this was a treat. Love your raps in this, you know you are a very good lyricist. Glad to read that things are going so well for you. I've had a pretty damn good couple of months myself. Looking forward to a bit more looperman time now hopefully.

Really nice song. I'd put my vocals in the centre where the bass and drums are. If that's your style great, but I'd kinda remind people with an empty of loose beginning space to tell them where you're starting. Other than that I loved the groove and feel love it gave!

So the new job is working out? Always a refreshing new beginning when starting a new job. Hope it all works out Paul!

This has a cool, pop, refreshing feel. The transition or change at 2:10 was nice.

My suggestion when you mix it to watch the threshold on your compressor on the master track. I usually have mine around 11. Then I use a limiter to gain after the compressor. If you put your threshold too low on that compressor, you make all the tracks get the same level and loud, too loud and too congested. Use the limiter to get the loudness while keeping a good level on the instruments with a decent threshold.

Hope that makes sense.

Cool track!

thanks for the stop and feedback Wayne, im still a little raw with production but trying new things all the time. i used a limiter on the vocal tracks and two on the master its getting the balance right though, i use fruity loops and although theres a few stock compressors, i dont think they are brilliant, i'll keep practising, your advice is priceless mate and always makes sense

Paul....... Welcome back mate. So let's jump right in. Man, this is genius on so many levels. The switch-ups @ 0.57, 2.07, and 3:16 sets this one out there like a mixtape! And you know I'm a connoisseur of baked in creativity. The mix is crisp, and the vocal effects and layering is excellent. I really like the string arrangement running in the background. And finally, judging from that solid brick waveform...... you put the business on your master track. Well done mate. Peace.

thanks Mark, it was a tricky task to try, the three parts had a big switch but were connected and my vocal had to reflect that, i wanted a clean smooth transition between them, i think i done ok, the music was Jansmusic, was a catchy synth pop, i kept it the same. its promotes positivity, believe in you. and yes i am as happy as i sound

This is a really NICE! tune it has that feeling of spring or summer feeling but also of hope & you are absolutely ~SHINING~ on this & telling it like it is which is something I do. The upbeat energy on this is awesome!! your riding the on the wave of joy it seems. BTW, congrats on your new job well done you! on your achievements.

Haters?...there are overt and covert ones like snakes in the grass who smile in your face then slander you with gossip and lies behind your back. The best revenge I have found is to be happy no matter what they say or do, most of it's based on lies and pure jealousy, If this happens, at least I know I'm doing something right lol...Hate is the complement of fear and copycats have no imagination is something my uncle use to say. Keep up the great work...Your Happiness! of your achievement is overflowing in this track and infectious, it's lovely to hear. Well done! indeed.

That's really good Paul. And this is Looperman, no haters here, only lovers :)
Check the level of the vocals btw, they might be slightly in the red and I think you can bring them down quite a bit to make them a bit smoother. Good luck buddy!

dimestop replied 22nd Feb 2023 - 3 years ago

Description : So, I stumbled across this dope beat by one of our own, Mytch, and literally begged him to let me jump on it. Thankfully, he was cool with it, so here it is. I hope he likes what I came up with, and I hope you like it too.

It's pretty similar to how I used to rap back in my early days, but of course, these days I don't use profanity haha.
