@aaronpc I loved this one, partly because it has a unique kind of sound: the percussion that sounds like old saucepans being hit and the wonderfully detuned lead instrument (no idea what it is, some kind of mad organ) and despite the slight weirdness of the sounds the tune has a soaring quality to it and a great groove underpinning it all.
Doesn't need vocals IMO, just great as it is. Quirky and bizarrely uplifting. I'm off to listen to your other SoundCloud tracks.
@High5denied thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the song. The guitars are all either Bias fx or Tonestack. I think the one you refer to is a preset I downloaded of the tone loud in Bias.
@richardyot thanks for the kind words. I appreciate the commercial comment. I tried to make a big track inspired by M83. I had to try And give it a little quirkyness or weirdness, I don't know if I have ever made something that accessible before (not that I'm ever @Igneous1 or @Jocphone .

Thank you for the comments on the mix, there's a lot of reverb and sounds so I have been working hard on not having muddy mixes. I feel like I am on the right track. I also appreciate the thoughtful comment on the song structure.
As for your track, fantastic guitar playing and also good job mixing all of the sounds. I love the stereo lead guitar and the bass is really nice. The drums are too nonexistent for my tastes, but the crash adds a nice ambience to everything. Nice mellow, interesting track.
Thank you yet again for a wonderful and thoughtful comment! I wish that I had the room you envisioned, that would be wonderful! Alas, I just have a a desk with a Milrokorg, Launchpad, a cheap guitar, a Mac, and an iPad. Not that I'm complaining however! I'll take those comparisons and be on to my next track!
@hellquist Thank you so much for the comment! Using TF7 was on my to do list because I knew I wanted to have an 80s vibe to the song, and what better than an FM synth (or a bunch)! It's really easy to play and sounds great. Also, thanks for the comment on the melodies. I am not a very talented player of any instrument, so I really try to weave together little loops etc that I can play. Finally sorry for putting you in a good mood
As for your song, beautiful track! I love the synth lines and the parts when they bend and modulate. The guitar fits nicely, and I love the soothing playing of it. It's. Wonderful ambient journey , and the synth lines and guitar create a beautiful wash of sound. The mix is really good as well.
@crouchie, got some Cake going on in there. Great driving song, gets you moving. I'd like a bit more rhythmic variety, but that's just me.
@aaronpc, not sure if there is quite enough there to stand alone as an instrumental, but it's pretty darn fine. Great breaks in it. A song with longish notes would work over top of this. It would also make great movie music. Love the ending. Very dark and lovely,
Thanks to all who commented on my submission (Blotto Staccato). I was finally set on leaving it instrumental until @rickwaugh commented (thanks). I tend to agree something else is needed and that long tones are what I hear as well. Now I just need to track down an old Spanish man and a flamenco dancing chica. Mostly the chica. I can handle the first part in a pinch.
@richardyot Glad you like, thanks. The saucepan secret is a liberal dose of Thesys sauce on a metal/glass sample. There's also some sneaky Effectrix in there too, helping with the whirly thing.
The commenters have done a great job covering most of my points already for other submissions, but I'll add what I can here:
@crouchie Definitely pump the lyrics. Most people can't pull off having the vocals be the star, so don't hesitate to put it front and center. Plus I need all the help I can get understanding the words, as my ears have a horrible american accent.
@orchardman Great song, but the vocals need something. Not the singing itself, but maybe a different mic, some EQ magic or less reverb? They just seem fuzzy against the very clear music beneath. Getting the real world and the digital world to sound like they're in the same space is always a bitch.
I guess I'm a little vocals obsessed at the moment.
@theconnactic Fun song with tons of energy and skill. I guess the only thing I would say I was dying for some variation in the drums. Not a lot, as guitar is definitely the star here, but it's a little auto pilot.
Hey, @aaronpc, thanks for the review!
Really liked that, bit of an epic feel to it, bit of emotion in there. Might benefit from a little bit of a breakdown in the middle, just cos that mid range pad does dominate the mix a bit. Love to hear it with the beat glitched up a bit, but that's just my taste. Lovely job
Sounds great, v atmospheric, great tune, personally I would love that to be drenched in reverb and delay, make it properly epic. Feeling my way with Auria Pro too, so I understand where you're coming from. Great tune, cheers
Really impressive, good rounded song, liked nearly everything in the mix, nice and clear. Just a little thing, during the guitar break it would be really boosted by a strong bass line and a different drum pattern, would make it even better. The backing track reminds me of Bad Old Man by Babybird, which is a definite compliment from where I'm sitting. Great stuff
Great stuff, full of life. The breakdowns make it for me, particularly the second one. Has a great disco feel and I'm humbled by your ability with the guitars. I felt the mix was a tiny bit crowded in places, but that's probably just my novice ears, but it's a great tune. Great stuff.
Great stuff, really enjoyed it. As always in awe of people who can actually play a real instrument. I just press button me. Mix is nice and has a very mellow feel. I wish I knew what real time audio warping is, but I hope I will as I wade through Auria pro. Great tune
Just enough stuttering electronica in there for me to really enjoy that, and a great tune, doesn't need vocals I reckon. I always try to do them as early as possible cos I'm useless at finding space later on. That 1st breakdown is bloody lovely, brilliant stuttering loop. Love it.
There is a definite sense of virtuous achievement when you think you have finally caught up on listening to everyone's contributions. I will enjoy it for the short I've it lasts. Brilliant tunes this month.
Good stuff Mister C., and there is no SOTMC without the commentary, because otherwise it's just a bunch of us saying me, me, me (which is how the world operates mostly and why SOTMC is a good little backroom...)
Thanks, @crouchie. Real time audio warping allows you move events forward and back in audio files. I had some points in the first solo in my piece, my timing was off. I placed transient markers in the audio to show where the recorded notes stopped and started. I then dragged those markers forward or backward to correct the timing. This happens without affecting pitch or tone. Very, very handy.
what is the setting in AUria, something like detect transients, or Auto transient detection? WHen I record ROck DM into AUria, it really messes the beat up. Haven't noticed anything one way or another when I record guitar though. What's it doing in that case?
@High5denied, it won't do anything unless you tell it. You can tell it to detect the transients, and it will put in the markers. It doesn't catch all of them, so you then need to go in, place the cursor at the correct point, and then edit/transients/add transient marker. You need to mark the one ahead of what you want to move, and the one behind, so they don't move.
There is then a field on track, on the left in the editor, that is either off, trn, or warp. You set it to warp, then single tap/hold the transient marker you want to move, and drag it to where it should be.
Thank you so much, @crouchie!
'Ello you lot!! Seems I've got some catching up to do eh? Nice to see some new folks on here grabbing the new year by the balls!
I look forward to listening to the tracks I've missed shortly. 
So this is my entry for this month.Another collab but this time with a producer buddy of mine who basically gave me a challenge of writing something to one of his tracks.I actually recorded most of the vocal a couple of months back at @richardyot old house.So a big thanks to him for letting me use a "real mic"!! (I finally got my own mic last month! Woop woop!
)
I wrote the song about a mate of mine whose having a rough time due to his wife being an alcoholic.Please give me both barrels in regards to critique as this is really a first draft.I can't do anything about the music but anything to do with melody and lyrics would be very helpful.Cheers!
Some great singing there. I probably need to check my headphones, as I once again was wishing for some more "treble" in the tone of the vocals, but there was nothing wrong with the actual singing, in fact the opposite, I'm impressed. As for the song as such, it sounds like a good mix. I have to admit this is quite a bit away from the music I create myself, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate/approve of it. This could be a song on the radio as far as I am concerned.
There was a part, with your vocals, in the first break or 1.35 or something, where you are screaming "my love" which sounds very agonising and suitable. I would like that to be a tad louder. As that is the only critique I have, and it is a very subjective opinion, I would most certainly deem that as un-important/minor in the great scheme of things. Well done!
@BvsMV another great entry mate! The only thing that was niggling me a bit was the drum levels.I may well be wrong but I felt they could come up a bit as some of the hits were a little buried.I am however listening on my ear pods.A very nice evolving piece though mate.
Very good song and mix, @LostBoy85: congratulations!
@aaronpc Ah, an extra large helping of paella & chips, yum, yum! On my first listen I thought, Spanish & vocals. The more times I heard your song, the more my opinion changed to, unique & no vocals. Yes, it's got a delightful Spanishy flavour but you've added enough of a twist of hot chilli pepper to create a tune that has a well balanced edge to it. I do try to dance to EVERY song that everyone submits & yours had me trying a flamenco out whilst watching carefully for Señor Bull, who's stalking me & ready to horn me one! Your gentle rhythms holds everything together & I really enjoyed the feel of your whole song.
@LostBoy85, that's excellent. If you got the music, then wrote the melody and lyrics on top of it, it's perfect. Lyrics are fine. The melody and vocal performance are spot on, lots of dynamics, that work perfectly with the dynamics of the piece. To be frank, I think you've taken a decent, kind of average track, and turned it into a song that has something going on. Your buddy should be pretty happy with that. Mix is good, might be able to add a bit more sparkle to the vocal tone, but I don't know.
@LostBoy85 Not my cuppa, but you did a fine job with it. A good mic is a must— especially if you can sing, and especially especially if you can't. I thought I had some minor niggles to bring up, but after giving it another listen I binned them. March on.
@Bluepunk Thanks! My first crossover hit.
@hellquist Welcome mate!! Thanks for your take on my track it's very much appreciated.
I really enjoyed your track a lot,lovely sounds and it just goes to show that keeping things simple or stripping back a track can sometimes be a more powerful production than if all the bells and whistles were going.Really good ear candy!
@orchardman hey dude,nice mood piece,great playing,appropriate lyrics and your wife has a nice voice.I loved the guitar solo.Great job! My only critique is that the vocal has a fair few "pops" throughout which do distract a little bit.Pop filters are useful for that.The good news is that in most cases it's an easy fix.I have to edit my vocals every time and all I do is solo the vocal and cut out any nasties between each word or fade into each word depending on how bad it is.It really does make a subtle but BIG difference.
I noticed at .56,1.04,2.09 and little ones elsewhere.Like I said it's an easy fix though dude.
Good job to you both man.Nice song!
Every month for a year now I've regrettably avoided the 100+ post SOTM threads because I never finish a flippin' song. So, new year, new resolution, I'm making myself post one rather I like it or not. I just downloaded the soundcloud app and look forward to checking out last year's music! So without further ado
