  • @uglyskratch thats awesome man. at least one person likes my shit! yeah i haven't played drums in about 5 years but I'm just now getting back to my love of drums. thank you thank you thank you

    It's a mashup between lo-fi and Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound, all the levels are in the red :)

    The languid vocal works well as a softer contrast to the harshness of the mix, and the melody is good. The track could maybe do with some more dynamics, just a bit of ebb and flow or room to breathe here and there, but then again this is a pretty unique sound (it reminds me a bit of the Jesus And Mary Chain combining harsh feedback with nice melodies back in the 80s).

    The timing though was tighter last month :)

    But it's good track, especially the vocal melody which is great.

  • Just finished this one with my old fellow Matthew Tyas to wish you all a happy new year full of creations!

    Beautiful guitar, and I like the electronic percussion as well. The vocal is cool, I like the distortion on the voice, and the overall delivery, it's got some growl to go with the profane lyrics.

    The arpeggiated guitar is the star of the show for me though, it's really gorgeous.

  • @richardyot a new beautiful and charming sad pop song. The production is a bit too blur I find. Melody and voices are top. Do you make several voices rerecording ?

    @Yourjunk I like very much the main themes and I don’t know why I was expecting the Coltrane’s sax.

    @Slava good dance music, sheep are moving their butts here! I agree with Richardyot that outside a dance floor it’s a little too long.

    @uglyskratch very well done with good breaks. Voices samples are funny even at the end.

    @shiftsynth1 I definitely like this dreamy sounds

    @trackedout the most original rock song of the month for sure. I don’t know what you are talking about but the happy noisy saturated sounds and erratic beat are a real feast for my ears. The Richardyot voice seems completely out of this musical atmosphere which add strangeness. Are you really posting those musics from planet earth? :-)
    Push it further this way!

    I usually record 10-12 takes of the vocals and then choose the best ones for each verse ad chorus. I used to do comping (chopping every phrase and selecting the best bits from several takes) but now I can sing a little better I don't find the need to go quite that far.

    Recording and mixing the vocals though is by far the most time-consuming part of any track though.

    It would be a lot less work if I was a better singer :)

  • So we are late to the party this month. The plan for this month was going to be an ambient synth laden prog rock epic but man flu in December followed by over indulgence over the festivities put pay to that. Instead we present a bluesy, swingy bar room bash. Lots of new music making toys for Xmas some of which have been used on this track.

    I like the piano bar atmosphere. JJ Cale had some swinging beats like that. Well done U2! (hey the ending is very abrupt isn't it?)

    Thanks for the feedback. I was going to reprise the chorus at the end after the lead break but changed my mind and ended up doing nothing. I have edited it now to do a proper fade out at the end.

    Just did 2 tracks this year so far... One not really worth sharing and the other is unfinished...
    So I share again something this month what I made for a reddit Sampling Competiton (Flip this! Challenge) back in November... This time it was the Irving Berlin track "Always" sung by Ella Fitzgerald... Rules were to flip the sample prominently in the track, but you were allowed to use outside instruments... I took some Piano Part and her voice of course... Made all in Beatmaker 3...

    hahaa !! great stuff .. the vibrato vocal'd pinky and perky at the end is killer B)

    My entry for this month, lyrics in the spoiler:

    I try to believe in what we could achieve
    If things would go our way
    But fate plays its part and we are torn apart
    The skies now turn to grey

    I heard them say, you were made for rainy weather
    And that's OK, cos you can take the pressure
    You don't shelter from the storm
    Hide away try to keep warm
    Cos you were made for rainy weather
    You were made to take the pressure

    When the rain will fall we can't see far at all
    And doubt will fill my day
    So it seems to me that you will hopefully
    Help cast my fears away

    I heard them say, you were made for rainy weather
    And that's OK, cos you can take the pressure
    You don't shelter from the storm
    Hide away try to keep warm
    Cos you were made for rainy weather
    You were made to take the pressure

    Love the vibe in the beginning and once the fist chorus comes. For some reason it takes a while for the song to settle. The lyrics are kind of spooky.

    Are the effects all reverb tails or a dedicated shimmer effect ( which are reverb(s) )?

  • @trackedout said:

    The guitar is great! The ride greats a little overwhelming. The vocals get over effected/produced - to the point of being incomprehensible. Nice hurkey-jurkey journey though.

  • @shiftsynth1 said:
    I'm back! Sorry, been gone a few months, I've been building my modular synthesizer. Here is a little ring tone I made with it a few weeks ago. Plan on getting back into the song of the month this year. Happy new year brothers.

    Resonant body! Reminds me of guitar harmonics.

  • @YourJunk said:
    @richardyot
    I like the chill ethereal vibe. I think it could use a little bit less on the high end. It also kind of feels like it’s building to something but never quite reaches it. I think this could be helped if the pad and lead faded in and out a bit more, maybe isolating the vocals and drums or just the vocals here and there might help.

    Here’s my first track of the year.

    Is there Star Wars in there? I like the grooves and the piano. It needs just a touch of aviation in the patterns. Just a touch. Like altering the loop notes in a couple of places a couple of times. Not too much just enough to surprise. (Working on that myself)

    Reminds me of Pogo, and all the Portisehead like beats I loved in the nineties.

  • @Slava said:
    FHTH - Carpathian Sunset (Industrial, EBM). I used Pure Acid, Poison-202 and Groove Rider GR-16 in Cubasis 2. Mixing and mastering was made in Reason 11.

    I’m surprised by how melodic this industrial track is. I’ve listened to plenty and this is on the nicer side of that genre, even with the flourish if noise towards the end. Super!

    Thanks! I don't think I used a shimmer, but the vocal sample at the start is mangled in Egoist, then pumped through some delay and reverb, which might be what you're hearing.

    Sorry for the late review, it's been a crazy week here.

    I always look forward to your submissions, the two of you have some of the best songwriting craft I'ver heard here B)

    This is a nice and sleazy entry, and the mood of the arrangement conveys that perfectly, with the slightly loose sounding piano and guitars that seem to match the lyrics beautifully.

    The song definitely bears repeated listens as the melody really grew on me after the second listen, and my overall impression of the track is very good.

    Good to hear Mononoke put to use in a different context, and the addition of Neo-Soul gives this one a nice jazzy feel. I like the pads in the background in particular, and all the sound choices are good. My only crit is that the melody played on the keys sounds a bit formless (it sounds algorithmic rather than human), so the track drifts a bit because there are no melodic cadences, or tension and release etc. The rhythm of the melody is also a bit too uniform.

    It is algorithmic. It's a leftover of me having only worked on the phone in the past, and trying to wrangle the algo's to be more than human, or at least be more curated. So the inevitable happens, my jams which I use to work out instruments and sounds, the algos stick around into the track.

    Working on my humanness this year. Just in time for the machines to take over 😑

  • @trackedout:
    A bit too out there for my taste but keep on rocking on.

    @Kitusai:
    Definitely grew on me as I listened. It seemed to tighten up nicely in the second half. Only thing I could see is reducing the processing on the vocals just a tad, but that’s mostly personal preference. Smokey cowboy time got me nodding along though.

    @orchardman:
    Sounds like I’m sitting in some grimey pub in the southwest watching a vixen sing with her band who also help her with bank robberies. I dig it. Only critique is that the vocals seem a little unbalanced with the instrumentals.

    @audiblevideo:
    Neat jam you got there. Again, a little too abstract for my taste but fun.

    No Star Wars, just samples from the one song and then drums and FX from the PO-33. Yeah I’m trying to figure out the best way to get some variation as that’s the most common feedback I’m getting.

  • Sorry but I seem to be late with everything this month. Only now getting the chance to have a listen to this months tunes;

    @richardyot love the way you build the atmosphere in the intro and it has a strong chorus both lyrically and musically. Although the the production is great I thought it was a bit busy in places with the vocals competing with the accompaniment especially in the first verse. Overall though another good song.

    @YourJunk I enjoyed the first couple of minutes and the way you chopped and mangled the samples. It did however get a bit repetitive after a while and needed to go somewhere different to retain interest.

    @Slava not really my sort of music but the good overall production with a nice beat and some great industrial synth sounds.

    @uglyskratch I’m way too old to understand sampling but this is really clever. Usually this would not be my sort of thing at all but I actually enjoyed it a lot.

    @shiftsynth that was short and sweet. More of an introduction than a completed piece.

    @trackedout you definitely have your own unique sense of rhythm. Great intro and verse, love the guitar riff and your vocals are much stronger now you have got them higher in the mix. Not sure the middle section worked just a bit too chaotic for me.

    @Kitusai another clever quirky number from you. Great production and I loved the lead guitar playing. My only criticism is that the acoustic guitar loop was getting a bit repetitive by the end.

    @audiblevideo nice atmospheric piece but it was a bit one paced and was getting a bit repetitive by the end. Loved the jazzy feel of the electric piano sound and I wanted to here more of it.
