@JohnnyGoodyear Quietly beautiful Sir John. The gentle, understated piano is just perfect for your soft, vulnerable vocal delivery & complements the achingly serene feel your tune delivers. A slight huskiness in your voice adds to the emotion of it all. I'm sure any ladies listening to it would find it endearing & sexy so you're onto a winner with that tone (along with the sadness & longing of the subject). The two lines that grabbed me by the short & curlies are 3 & 4 of verse one. Yep, I get them!
Again, your "own" genre is alive & kicking. We'd all like some tenderness before D Day arrives & to get that down so cleverly in your music & words is brilliant. If you don't mind, I would like to play it to a few girls/women to hear what they say about it. I will prepare them by issuing a pack of tissues before listening. Huge
from moi!
@JohnnyGoodyear,
"Come on Down", Soulful deep and drenched in mood. The lyrics, deliciously exhausted.." like the blind man without his stick who still rises at the bell". That simple mournful string line .. beautiful.
@crouchie,
Darn Beefy! marvellous array of textures, all of them vivid. Brought me back to some clubs with just that hint of menace.
This is actually an older song that I've been reworking with fresh ears and apps, so I'm not sure how well it fits the thread, but what the hell.
Ah, dear Mister Punk, don't forget to tell them while brutish in appearance I can weep soulfully on command and am amazingly talented amateur pastry-chef also!
In the interim, thanks for your kind words and if you need access to more tissues just let me know, I buy them in bulk etc.
Thank you Mister Rico. It has taken me a long while getting to the point where I actually try to sing the lyrics the way they were written. The pen can be more honest, but the voice has got direct access to the heart etc.
Like this a lot. There's something in the first third especially that seems a bit woofly (technical term) in the mix, but the feel, the voices, words etc and overall vibe is very persuasive. It put me in mind very early on of Bowie circa Space Oddity / Hunky Dory.
Nice: I have a weakness for the I - V7/VI - IV - IVm chord progression you use in the chorus, although I'm yet to write a song using this progression. Some of my favourite songs use it, Radiohead's Creep being one of them. Simple, but not dull, and very effective. Liked the percussive bass sound in the beginning and after the chorus: I'd suggest some low pass filtering in this so it at times doesn't fight with the kick for space in the mix. Also liked very much the harmonized vocals. Funny outro, very psychedelic. Great song, @aaronpc: congrats!
You have a distinctive voice tone you should explore more (meaning to mix it a little louder
). Some compression to ensure a steady volume would also greatly help your voice to shine even more, specially in the quietest, almost whispered words: perhaps putting a compressor at the recording stage, between the mic and the audio interface: fast attack, long release, small ratio, aim for a -5dB reduction ceiling. Did you use a very short delay to fatten it a little? It has sort of the effect of a stereo panned overdubbed voice, but not that 80's chorus-ish tone: well done! The composition itself is great, as your lyrics. Congratulations, @JohnnyGoodyear!
P.S.: the compression I suggested requires, obviously, a hardware compressor.
@theconnactic A thoughtful and technical response. Thank you. I will take note (copy) of your suggestions. I currently do no more than plug the USB mike into the side of the ipad and sing what I've written on the paper in front of me (or more often what is there already inside my head). The notion of compression (and other strategies) is one I intend to look into, but for now I'm mostly interested in the architect's feelings rather than the builder's ability to construct. This however is changing, which I take to be a sign of slow progress, and thus your input and ideas are most welcome.
Nice metaphor!
What a fine song! It keeps evolving and threatening to conclude, but then offers up surprising twists along the way. It has a nice open feel, even with the various echoing elements (voice and instruments peeking in and out throughout a very lively six minutes).
A nice mix of genres and instruments. Jazz meets Flamingo meets 8-bit synth. Maybe it drifts a bit in the middle, but overall it's an unusually interesting concoction of divergent musical tastes.
It is swirling and drone-like while still being largely melodic. Love the pitch-shift eeriness of the voices and the ethereal guitar in the background. And with bongos! The wide stereo separation gives it a powerful immersive quality.
World-weary and worn to the bone, this one would be full-on depressing if it weren’t so well-crafted and executed. Love the slow and deliberate pace. Like a fine Tom Waits song. You want to respond with: Don’t do it, you still have so much to live for. Only… maybe he doesn’t.
Good one, JG.
I agree it does have a Neil Young flavor, not so much in the vocals, but in the guitar, pacing, and overall feel. The background vocals are especially good here, as they blend and weave with the lead voice. Very nice. The key change works fine, not jarring at all. And the slow fade out on the guitar gives it a pleasing ending.
Not my usual cup of tea, but I found this one to be sonically intriguing. I especially like the low-frequency rumble and growl of the instruments in the background, as well the staccato riffs that accent and play off of the core beat.
Funky! I feel as though I’ve traveled into a time tunnel. Catchy tune with familiar and a few unexpected instruments. Just the right level of reverb that complements a super mix of the various components. Stays interesting throughout, though I think a full-stop ending on the beat might be even better.
I especially like the twangy bass and stuttering lead at the start. Atmospheric with not overly intrusive vocals. Builds well as musical layers are added. Shifts direction some in the middle, though it doesn’t lose interest as the layers build back up. Lots of variety throughout. Good finish with a return to the elements from the beginning.
Feels a little sluggish at the start but really takes off at 0:38 when the synthesizer melody is introduced. Nice mix of sounds. I especially like the occasional clunk that appears here and there. The addictive beat had me tapping my foot in unison (something I don’t do very often).
Atmospheric with lots of little surprise elements that builds to a satisfying conclusion. I especially like the mechanical warble that gives it a futuristic post-industrial feel. Nice throbbing beat with good counter-rhythms and echoes. I also like the occasional glitches near the end, as though the automated music machine is slightly off kilter and ready to spin out of control.
An intricate mix of melodies. I especially the liquid feel of the tones and the slippery quality of how the musical elements appear and disappear. Maybe a soundtrack for a gentle spring rain? Ending seems a bit inconclusive, as through it should just fade out or be more definite. Otherwise, very enjoyable.
I have the hardest time breaking away from making music to stop and listen. This month I'm going to get through some feedback before I post my track....
Awesome guitar playing. Recording quality is great, very pro.
Great on the retro tip. Gadget is good for making these kinda sounds! Sounds like a lot of Darwin.
@rickwaugh very nice composition! And performance!
Great vocals and harmonies. You said you did vocals on Mac because no good vocal apps... Not sure why you need an app for your vocals.... Sound pretty natural and great as is.
Nice psychedelic in a Ween sort of way. My favorite so far.
Weird and cool. You used several apps I have but don't put to use much, good sounds.
Nice atmospheric sounds that aren't the obvious ones to come out of Gadget. I like the bendy ports mento lead about halfway through, and the delay string stabs.
First time to finish a song one iPad? Great production, I wouldn't have known. The Lyra piano sounds real. I need to use that. Cool harmonics.
Evocative music matches the evocative title. Nice approach. Great songwriting. I like the drum sound, some kind of Abbey Road sounding compression settings?
.... I'll try to get through the rest soon!
My track for the month... My first one since making the leap from Cubasis to Auria Pro.
Electric ukulele running through ToneStack, a few tracks of vocals with some juicy Auria Pro chorus and comp, and everything else in Gadget.
@gburks, nice. Great groove there, love the distorted bass. I think it's a tad long, and I think the vocals, which are excellent, are a bit buried in the mix.
@aaronpc
That's some very tasty melancholy, Like the kind of grey sky that makes a young fella feel like an invisible hero. I get a real kick out of that bass .. A little chubby optimism with some stubborn sass underneath it all. The meltdown conclusion is a hoot...like a vhs teenage diary melting in dumpster flames.
Accomplished effort, in a number of different ways. In the end it might feel (to me) a little less than sum of its (many) parts. Might be its length, I think most 'pop' songs of 5 minutes plus probably get held to a sub-consciously higher standard than something that cuts out at 3. That bass though.....literally groovy stuff. And the construction overall is impressive, especially if this is your early-stage effort with a new DAW.
@JohnnyGoodyear Great track, simple and understated, production just right for the mood and vocal
@crouchie Really enjoyed your track. Love the deepness you got in the bass end and the effected vocal loops
