I made a very Dark, Gritty Dirty industrial Mix of this Pella. For me the music must convey an emotion. Your tune has a tale in it of a relationship falling away, for no extreme reason other than time. Not Infidelity, Not something Drastic. So I took the point of view for the other person as if they were not listening was the reason the relationship crumbled. The Music and mix evokes the drudging passage of time and the filtered half listened to message from the other person in the relationship. It's a very Dark mix. It was either this or a Polka /s
Quick Update. You may be correct after all about my perfectionism. After noodling around with this and not being satisfied, I chopped the vox into 22 segments and will start work from there. The tricky part is the 87 BPM which bodes a mellow tune, but I am feeling very Deep House with this one, so We shall see. This one is going to take some time.
Hello, I personally find it wonderful when someone puts in so much effort, and its incredibly exciting to wait for the result of your work. I know Manuela feels the same way! Angelic
Hello, thank you for your compliment and the favorite! I'm looking forward to seeing your ideas and how you bring them to life! Best regards and have a great weekend, Manuela
Hey Steven! Its great youve stopped through. Thanks for giving your impressions on this one. Now for MIKE STERN I could go on for hours about about his style and tone. I never knew how awesome a Fender Telecaster could sound but by Mike. Thank you for that mention. Peace.
nice. Good Chorus on the vocals, Do I hear you using a Vocal Fry as well. Good Work. Starting to sing now ehh, as well as that rap style your good at ehh!
great to see you around my friend, just vocal layers different fx on each multilayered volume stages 10% softclip vfx envolope and automation got them soundin good, got two raps lined up next
That's awesome, my friend. I have been listening to quite a bit of Ride the Lightning by Metallica lately. The Trio of " Ride the Lightning,"" For Whom the Bell Tolls," and "Fade to Black" is the optimal turning point for metal and such a groundbreaking trio of songs on an album that's only 46 minutes. and 8 songs.
You perfectly capture the dark underbelly of this genre. And you know I appreciate that Darkness you evoke. It is always a pleasure to listen to your work.
Thank you, Steve. I appreciate it. That is definitely one thing we've both enjoyed from each other. The dark underbelly of whatever we choose to do musically.
I think the early 80s were a pivotal point for a lot of things. But, as far as metal goes, absolutely. I know at this point, it's almost cliche, but I credit Cliff Burton for a lot of what we have today. It was his influence on James and the boys that brought out the music we got from them. In turn, they as a band influenced so many others. I mean, there were definitely others that had a huge impact. But, yes, Ride The Lightning specifically is an iconic album. Everything up to ...AJFA was, really. After that, the mainstream kind of caught up to their sound, and grunge was coming in hard. They sort of just started blending in to the background at that point. I'll always have a soft spot for them, but I almost never listen to them anymore. Maybe I should dust off the old vinyls and take them for a spin, huh?
Take care,my friend.

Nice 808 percussion and vocal treatments on this one mate, not weird at all. I could see a segment where we go full-on hardcore metal, and then bring it right back down again.
Nice collab, now you are entering the electro world ehh. I like that side of yah. Send me that Discord link via LM P-message, and I am ready to re-engage. A Really catchy tune! I want them to warp your voice with a lowering of the key back and forth. That would put this over the edge mate!
Steven so nice to have you check the track, im gaining in confidence and having the time of my life in music, the girls are brilliant and i still pinch myself at the chances they give me, im believing in myself more too, i ve sent you the link look out for it, there's 20+ now and some really good artist too, we only put it together a couple of weeks ago, it would be nice to have you join, its so easy to use and an absolute breeze to collab its all drag and drop and rapid real time instant messaging function like all the big platforms voice and text channels share pics vid of yourself playing and the guys are sharing other things too, theres lots of goodies too free, its a great side aid to anyone LM is our home this site is for collabs you can host it there but the idea is to encourage collabs then host to LM that is all our place of meeting and we don't want to be seen like were distancing, we aint no way. just making it easy and the results are incredible
200 Tracks, I must listen to that as someone who abuses my DAW regularly. Nice use of silence as an instrument. Locrian Mode,,,Nice. This is not for the casual listener. But this is awesome for those who Studied Musical Theory and love experimental synths and sounds. Hats off to you Mate. Brilliant composition. Fav'd. The coda at 3:36 was a nice touch. Take a bow. Nice Work.
Hello Steven
Thank you so much for listening to my music and commenting. I am so glad that you share with us these warm feelings and experiences and Ill drink to that!
Best wishes, Anthony
Awesome tune mate! Come to Canada, Ontario has an insane selection of the wacky weed, even specialty drinks like jalapeno Margaritas with 10MG THC. The most open laws of any country. Now about the mixing. Here's a friendly tip. When you are about to add the compression, lower the master mix by 3db. Creates headroom that clarifies the instruments. Loudness wars mean we get ear fatigue from artificial loudness. What you want is the right balance of gain which gives you good dynamics with just the right touch of Compression. Love the tune ehh!
i will definitely hit canada in spring 25, in europe we tell us a story about the mythical growers there in canada, they transformed that plant into trees. yeah, im not really impressed with my compression either. thank you for that, i will work on that. i always mix at -3db and all my inserts are -6. i got a new bus compressor and i went overboard with it. my main problem is, i know theres is a flaw in my mixes, but i cant point exactly . that why i love lm and value your time crucethues. love from a banana
Discord thing is fine bro, i only use it for collabs, i only have the mp3 and my vocal Stems mate it was all done and mastered in the studio in Germany the girls wrote the track and the band played the nusic
Fit Like, mate. I love the intro and the arrangement. It does sound uplifting. But the percussion is awesome as well. Glad to hear you are making such awesome music.
Nae bad min fit like yer sell.
thankyou i am finally starting to suss out separation a bit now so its getting a bit more composementis i think thank you for your listen and great comment much appreciated gd to see you in ah
Big V, Bringing the Prog, I'm Bringing the Bug Spray. I hate Locusts. Bass reminds me of Floyd's "Run like Hell" I Love the slow build of guitar treatments with a subtle than not so subtle wah. Even some Nu-metal elements in there. Dark as ever, I agree with the Tool refs. Needs a Vox that has its upper end and lower end quashed , just give that mid-range with a slight overdrive. Always a pleasure mate! Interesting ending. Fav'd
I'm not a fan of Locusts either. Or cicadas. Noisy ass bastards. That's kind of why I made this. This is the heart of Cicada season, and that's all I hear, all the time. I'm looking really freakin' forward to the end of summer, (among many other reasons), when they go the fuck away. Crickets can join 'em, too.
I think I know what you mean about the vocals. If what I'm imagining what you're trying to convey, that would sound good. Kind of like singing through a megaphone sound?
Contrary to my last tracks message, I've been toying with the idea of feeding my voice into one of those AI voice things to lay down on some of my tracks. It's just a matter of finding a good one that isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg in subscription fees, or free ones that don't absolutely suck. We'll see I guess.
Take care, Steve.

Big Stilton is gonna be pissed at yah mate!
Love the groove you created, nice electro-clash vs step elements, but the vox mix takes the cheese! I'll see myself out!
Thank you :D Yes it is the saddest isnt it lol. Not everyone can hit those D notes well though and especially the B flats. So im more than feeling to transpose it to fit the vocalist. I'd do it myself but i feel like this track needs a females voice in my opinion and also in its current state its a bit outside my natural range.
Beautiful. Lyrically it reminds me a bit of a Daniel Balvoine song called "Tous less Cris, SOS" I love the transition with the orchestral chords from minor but ending on a major chord, smart. I also love the emotion in the song. fav'd!

Hello, I listened to the song you linked to me. Really beautiful voices! Even without knowing this song, we created a similar one in a cappella style. Maybe I'll upload it sometime. Thank you for your time and the praise. Best wishes, Manuela
Nice minor 7ths. Libretto (Lieder) is a time-old tale ehh!. I like the switch from minor to major chords. Nice 80's rake guitar. Nice Strings as well. A very well-crafted Pop tune. Bien Chanson!
