  • Mine too...after the fifth beer :wink: 
  • What do u mean by saturn...
    Fabfilter Saturn, a distortion plugin available as IAP in Auria:



  • @High5denied   After your colossal, much appreciated comments of Novembers SOTMC entries, also getting your head down studying compression etc, I'm surprised you found the time to actually implement a remix. Is the sound wave on Soundcloud a true (ish?) representation of the sound itself? If so, visually I can see the difference straight away. 

    I've played them both side by side & there is a feeling of more space in V2. It's like you've tamed the rough edges slightly without losing any of your tracks spunk. I'm glad you didn't lessen that thumpingly good bass drum too much as I liked that in V1. 

    Lets say Rat Scabies played on both versions. The first (V1) when he was a 20 year old upstart & the second (V2) aged 60. Apart from the obvious, his limbs probably being less flexible, he's matured musically. He's still got the talent & has now mastered control.

    Well done as I enjoyed V1 & I can hear the adjustments/improvements you've made for me to enjoy V2 even more. :smiley: 
  • @LostBoy85  You've very cleverly managed to bring the 1930's barber shop quartet into the now. I don't need to visit the barbers anymore as my daughter gives me a blue rinse & perm now. :wink:  but if I did then I'd ask them to sing this.

    Ah man, beautifully sung. How the hell did you marry all of your voices so seamlessly, harmonically together. Some job that! It does make me feel all warm & gooey inside. 

    Your new best mate, Mr Shure, has had an immediate effect on the recorded sound quality of your vocal. I can absolutely hear that. All the wee nuances are crystal clear & your investment has given you an instant return. What next? ...Vocal booth, new wardrobe, car! 

    Seriously, your voice is a finely tuned instrument that has always held its own, on its own. In this song you've displayed it once again, this time though, you've given it to us in a multi layered/textured performance which I can only admire. Your experiment has paid off & then some. :smiley: 
  • @High5denied - Hey, Jayson - nice piece, very distinctive mood and flavor. For some reason, despite the synthy bits and the driving, tribal verse drumbeat, this song made me think of ol' Delta Blues. The vocals do rise and fall, but it kind of goes with the song structure for me. If you hadn't mentioned it, I probably would have assumed you intended to be more "across the street"-sounding on the verses and "in your face" on the middle section.

    Your voice sounds good, quite strong in some places. You kept the guitar more atmospheric, less obvious, which I think served that tribal feel well. Great work!


    Thanks so much for the feed back @eustressor.  Appreciate you listening and offering the thoughts you did.  
  • JohnnyGoodyear.  NO worries, I appreciate the comments, no negative vibe at all from your thoughts.  I think the less than the sum of the parts is pretty accurate.  Maybe I will file it away for a bit, that might be tough for me to do though, lol....
  • Shiska bob, pardon my double thanks to the above two comments, I had no idea I had already commented.  I swear I only had one glass of wine.  But it was a big one.     
  • rkmonkey. Thank you for taking the time to listen.  I think the less is more comment is something I need to take to heart.  
  • LostBoy85  Thank you for listening, and the kind words.  I think I went a little bit overboard with the automation on the vocals.  I'm still trying to get the hang of it.  The music gets a bit louder in the middle so I raised the vocal volume, but I think prob. a bit too much.  



  • A big thank you to @crouchie,@rkmonkey,@richardyot,@johnnygoodyear and @Bluepunk for your comments about my track this month.  :*

    @crouchie I used the convolution reverb plug in in auria on the big rich hall setting,& I agree I think it def helps the vocal.

    Technically I feel I could have done better,there's a couple of pops in there (in the middle of longer notes,so difficult to edit out) there's still some sibilance and also my timing was slightly off in places and some of my harmonies were a little pitchy (technical jargon) in places,but I had fun and that's what tickles my pickle! Now I know u dudes won't enjoy this one as much which is why I dedicate this song purely to all the ladies on the forum.....ladies...hello??? 

    Man I miss Tenerife!!:D
  • Saturn is a beauty! It's really intended for guitar and beats apparently, but works nicely for distorting vocals (for the self-conscious like me, and also helps them sit a bit better in the mix imo). If u use the simple saturation feature (I saw it on their you tube vid) on a beat it really brings it out nicely.  The other one to try is Volcano, lovely sounds, makes simple synth lines sound so much more sophisticated. Well I hope it does...
  • @High5denied I liked that, I like the tribal feel and the 80s name checks. Does blur a bit in the middle frequencies, but I liked it's urgency.  Which daw do u use?
  • @crouchie Thanks for the listen and I appreciate the thoughts on the middle frequencies as well. Still trying to figure all of that stuff out.

    I used Auria to put it all together. Some Saturn, Figure, Alchemy, Thumbjam....Maybe some more, it's been so long... I'm gonna put it away for a bit, and bring it out in a few months as suggested.

  • @richardyot - Faith Demo

    Love the acoustic guitar flowing throughout the song. The light percussion hides very well in the background , yet still shinning through just enough to be noticed. The vocals are great, I'm not sure if it's reverb or Chorus, it's laid on heavy. Sounds great!


    @Igneous1 - Chef's Omelette

    This starts off right away with so many great sounds. The all fit together so nicely. And, you even manage to get an organ sound to meld in there as well. Wow, I really like this track, it;s like soft trance, mild Techno. Very enjoyable.


    @crouchie - Right away I'm back to the late 80's and 90's. Vocals sound clean and very pitch savy. @ 2:33ish, I love the new addition to the song, the edgier Synth, it sounds mint. @ 3:11ish, the song gets a little more intense. I noticed a change in the dynamics. Very subtle. Excellent song. Enjoyed it. I think it may need a fade out at the end of the song?


    @LostBoy85 - There it is.........Your voice. I knew what it should sound like, even after only hearing one other song of yours from the previous month. Very nice harmonies, they all sound right on to me. I think you nailed this vocal symphony very well. Great song.

  • @High5denied sorry it's taken me a few days to listen to your latest, I was alittle distracted by the release of Auria Pro.

    I think the remix sounds much more coherent to my ears, definitely a better mix, and a much better sense of the underlying song. I like the weirdness of the changes and the whole sound, a little bit like a cross between Pavement and the Flaming Lips.

    Keep at it, I'd like to hear what you will be doing this time next year, with 12 more songs under your belt.

  • Have had a bit of a technical setback this past week, lost my ongoing catalog of ongoing stuff, but I've promised myself I'll look back and view it as a positive in the long run. Simplify, simplify. And thus without too much in the spit bucket to work with, what else but, as promised, something vaguely ukelele. A little quiet brass. A lonely man. Even managed to fit a black plastic watch in for those with a memory who were paying attention...

  • @JohnnyGoodyear that's the closest thing to a traditional song you've ever posted. It's short and musically quite simple but I really like it, it's all about the words and the music is a suitable backdrop to them. Love the harmony that comes in towards the end, and once again the vocal melody is very good.

    I think that the biggest progress you've made in the last year is with your melodies, they're just the right blend of catchy and melancholy to my ears, and they really help the songs be songs. The words are great too, and the mix + arrangement does a great job of putting voice, words, and melody to the fore.

    Thanks for the thoughts. One can (I can?) overthink stuff and being swept back to the beginning again in some ways may indeed prove to be a good thing for me. Clearing the decks. Take what is being learned and try to apply it.

    I have to give thanks to @LostBoy85 for his Casio watch which got me going on this little piece :) I'm sure if Mrs. Goodyear were to listen to this (or some other psychiatrist) worry would be had about the state of my melancholy mind, whereas of course it's all the song-writing pleasure of being able to inhabit the idea of something without actually having to actually live there....

    Truth be told, what I got from this piece (and it seems one gets something from each piece) is that if you actually turn the faders down a bit, you don't end up getting crackling in the final mix. I know sounds simple, but some of us are slow (if also steady).

    No worries. You've been busy with the Auria thread. Which has been awesome. Learning things I don't even fully understand, but I know how to do them now. lol........

    Thanks you for the listen and kind words. And for making my thoughts on the remix, me thinking that I have improved it some what, confirmed.

  • edited December 2015

    @JohnnyGoodyear Turning the faders down is actually a very good idea - but bear in mind you have two Limiters on the Master Strip as well. Engage either one of them and the crackling will be gone. Turning the faders down should be the first option though.

    Interesting aint it. Like being back in school. We dive in and do those things we're interested in (for me writing the words, warbling), and excuse ourselves from those things we find more confusing (for me mixing, producing), when of course our efforts should probably be weighted the other way around....

  • @JohnnyGoodyear

    I like this one, I think the song is simple in structure but nonetheless very effective and the feeling of melancholia certainly translates.. The vocals sound good to me too, perhaps a tad 'rushed' in parts (?). Is the harmony towards the end, some kind of pitch shifting wizardry, I'm wondering ?

  • @JohnnyGoodyear Wow! That's the second time I've used that word on this thread today. To me, it's your best yet. Stripped back, effective, gorgeous & catchy. You, your singing & a ukulele. A perfect combination. What is the other instrument I hear that complements the style of your song? Like a melancholy violin. Beautifully sad but in a happy way!

    Love the words especially the line "The dog has lost his bitch." It strikes home with me that does. I've noticed & heard quite a few acoustic(y) songs on the radio lately but none of them have that edge that this & other songs of yours have.

    You give us the lovely melodies to hum along too but always leave a "wait a god damn minute, I haven't finished yet." message in your lyrics. It's because, in those lyrics you slip in a slither or two of the darker side. Not threatening or angry but enough to well, make me think before I digest. I particularly enjoy that aspect of your song writing.

    I did push my buzzer to answer your plastic watch question & got it correct. Proudly displayed on @LostBoy85 wrist on his pic at the beginning of the uke challenge. Has anyone been crowned the new George Formby yet?

    Anyway, again, an excellent tune that me & my two mutts really got into. :smiley:

    Thanks Boss. Pitch shifting wizardry down to VoiceRackFX; helping men get in touch with their inner Isaac Hayes...

    Thanks so much. Especially as regards the lyrics as they are my primary area of interest/vague competency. I'm still finding it a challenge to lift and separate between poetry and song lyrics, and the more I write the latter the more I realize they are/can be very distinctive from the former. Not as easy as it first appears to be simple without being generic etc.

    I agree with @Igneous1 as regards the timing here, off in places. I actually think the whole thing should be slowed down by about 10 bpm, but when I take my Uke into the big studio to cut the album I may consider reworking this :)

    Good spot on the reference to @LostBoy85 and his watch. There's a song germ in almost anything :)

    For the record, that sounds is from ifretless sax....

  • @JohnnyGoodyear is that real uke you are playing here?
