Personally I think I'd prefer the intro without the synth pad. Or at least quieter. The sound doesn't match the song for me. It is too overwhelming and I like the space of the piano sound. At about the 0.35 mark the mix becomes a bit dead sounding. I think because the bass is a bit overwhelming and the guitars are suddenly less bright.
How do you approach singing? I could be wrong but sometimes it feels like you need to let go and just release the natural voice you have. It sounds like you are holding back. One thing I tell anyone I work with is to let your natural voice come through. Again, I could be wrong.
Cool song. It has a drone like vibe sort of Silversun Pickups like. Pretty cool song arrangement.
The vocal sounds a bit whiny in some passages. Things I'd try to correct are, not so much note changing mid phrase. Your pitch is not good enough for that. I think you need to step back and put some time into the phrasing of the lyrics so that they flow with the music. In my opinion it really sounds like the vocals are not sitting with the song, melodically or timing. The music is tight and the vocal isn't. A bit messy with the mix (conflicting elements) but still sounds nice as an overall sonic spectrum. Maybe a little too hot in the low end (personally) but nice top end. Put some more time into the vocal and it would be well worth it.
Thanks for your comments. I have already proposed a new version as the voice problems have been raised by Richaryot. Now there are of course many other ways of improvement...maybe I will do a third version one day
Really cool song.
It reminds me of little bit of Physical by Adam and the Ants (and the NiN cover version) with the feedback from the original version running through the track. I don't mean it sounds just like it, just that 'Physical' came to mind when listening to it -- which is a good thing
There are some cool ideas here, but I am not a fan of the synthetic vocal.
I'd prefer it if the vocal range was more constrained. The sound of it when it gets into the higher registers isn't particularly pleasant, but it sounds fine in the lower ranges. With the busy backing track you don't even notice it's not a real voice for a bit, but there's something about it that's a bit 'uncanny valley' and it quickly starts sounding 'wrong'.
Personally I'd exploit the 'wrongness' about it and go all in to make a synthetic vocal line sound much more synthetic -- maybe by glitching and effecting it to sound faker? I'd also personally try and make a clear chorus section with a vocal hook.
But there's something there to work with and it's a good start for iterating and structuring.
I'll check the new one out when I can.
Really great track that bring me back to the Nickelback time. You almost have the same voice timbre as the singer. Can be a little bit more punchy but way above anything I can produce
Something's been bugging me about the mix for a little while and I think I've finally worked out what.
It's too slow. The orchestral instrumental version was slowed down from the originally recorded version and when I added vocals and drums back in I left it at the new, slower tempo. I think the vocals sound better at their original tempo. I hope this is the version I can draw a line under... :-)
EDIT: I'm sticking with the original slower version (Richard always makes the most sense-) so the song below is the original, not the speeded up version. I'll blame my uncertainty on the fact I needed to do the vocals justice, which clouds my judgement somewhat.
I just listened to both versions back-to-back, and the difference is relatively subtle. I think I might still prefer the slower version, just because it's a bit more brooding and menacing, and the slowed-down vocal only adds to that vibe, but there's honestly not much in it.
Thanks for listening. I didn’t mean to subject you to that twice in a row!
I try not to post until I can listen back multiple times without hearing things I want to change. I should have heeded my own advice with this one!
No worries. The passage of time is actually one of the most useful tools when it comes to assessing one's own work. It's always a good idea to revisit a mix once some time has passed.
Hello everyone, below you’ll find my entry for this month. Produced in cubasis 3 using mainly twins 3, addstation and drambo. Plenty of effects including kosmonaut, motion eq, bandit… I would put it in the EDM/psybient genre. I hope you enjoy it and I’m looking forward to your feedback. https://on.soundcloud.com/GQQezU9p4a4Uvqdu6
I like the effects and modulations you’ve used. Makes the song interesting throughout its entirety. Good job!
Much appreciated! 🙏
Hi Richard, didn't have the time to check this month's track earlier but better late than never !
As I mentioned in the original thread, I think the music is brilliant. You really found a great guitar sound on this one, and the production is really spot on, nothing to say really.
As for the vocals, I really like the lyrics. I can relate to those, reminding me of some recent events I found myself stuck in on this very forum. Not sure if it was your initial source of inspiration. I like the melody, there are just a few floating moments that you could easily overcome by reworking a bit after some dust has settled.
Very nice project!
Very soothing piece, David! I really like it. And it is hypnotic to watch you interacting with TC Data. Maybe something you could do for your future productions! Letting us witness how the magic happens! I am surprised you're not using some of your photographic work with your audio. You could create very beautiful marriage! And I am sure you must have plenty of videos in your archives that could go along with music !
Very nice track. I love the sound choices and overall aesthetic. Reminds me of a a few bands I listened to, but cannot put a name on it at the moment (getting old).
It is the first synthetic vocals which I find interesting. I definitely agree with Richard about the lack of melodic repetition and hook. Your track has everything for that and deserves it actually!
Great job, please share more of your work, it is beautiful !
I love the atmosphere and rhythmic elements on this track. Very complex and interesting track. I actually listened to it a few times and the same singing melody came to mind each time. It is recorded as a audio memo on my phone if you're interested. (Thom Yorke type of singing on his solo electronica tracks).
As usual, extremely well produced track. House not behind the style I know the best, it is hard for me to comment, but I recognize some elements, hooks, beats and general aesthetic and vibe. You definitely know your stuff very well! Great work! Bravo !
Great production. Guitars sound big and everything is well balanced. It has a 90s FM pop rock vibe that you nailed perfectly. Not exactly what I listen to these days, but excellent work, as usual !
Listened to the second version. I would say that the first one was more realistic though lacking of hook. This latest version's melody is a bit more consistent but a lot less humanized. You're lucky to have a singer who barely needs to breathe 😉
I just listened to the second version which sounds great to me, great songwriting. Lots of good ideas especially on the vocals production, some great effects there. Nothing to say in terms of audio production, you clearly know what you're doing. My only small complain is about the strings. I have been working a lot on orchestral music for the last year and became quite picky about it 😉. I believe your track could gain with a bit of voicings movement. For now the strings section sounds like it is vertically stacked on top of each chord in the progression. A more melodic approach for each instrument voicing could bring subtle movements.
Lot of work on this track. It is very strange how it develops and move from one musical style to another. The intro announces a very electronic track, (mis)leading to a first part with pinch of reggae / dub and then the transition leading to a more electronic part with plenty of modulations and effects.
It is not exactly my style, but what a great work for sure! Bravo!
Thanks :-)
The strings were based on what I did for the original version many moons ago but I did try and make them sound less blocky/chordy. Each line is a separate instrument rather than playing chords.
I tried lots of alternatives but ended up keeping this one simple. It’s very easy to overdo the counter melodies and end up with a mess!
So yeah. Strings are hard!
I’ve got a lot to learn when it comes to orchestral voicings and techniques. It’s a fun journey for sure.
@richardyot
I think I also prefer the instrumental version. It’s kind of cool to have both. Play one, then later mix in the other with no explanation. I wouldn’t have guessed after hearing the instrumental version that the vocals version would adapt so well.
@cuscolima
Strange and exotic. Bit hard to get your bearings in spots, which may be the idea. Intriguing in the possibilities that it presents.
@Milkyway1980
Very interesting soundscape that evokes images of a futuristic urban environment. Excellent selection of instruments that create an open, yet evolving pace and texture.
@studs1966
Professional-quality production with a solid beat and great vocals.
@Ailerom
An excellent song with all the elements (including vocals, instruments, and lyrics) fitting nicely together. A polished production. I especially liked the guitar solo around the 2:20 mark.
@JanKun
Wow, that was dark and intense! I love the grittiness and dive-bar feel of it. If this is sampler for some kind of upcoming demented album or opera, I can’t wait to hear and/or see it. (I mention an opera, because I want to see more of this hidden world where this is considered to be a lullaby. What must a truly dark tune be like there?) Amazing and inspired work, JanKun and Svetlovska.
@klownshed
Cool piano notes on top of an ethereal soundscape. I like the echo effect with the voice. It works well with the coming home idea in the lyrics.
@Hursoom
The icelike, windy opening works well to introduce the main body of the piece with its strong beat and melodic explorations. Good mix of comfortable structure and sonic excursions.

Thank you so much for taking the time sharing your thoughts about the track. Fuel and motivation for the next one!
Thank you! Lovely hearing your thoughts about it.
Don't forget to return the favour, SOTMC can only work if everyone gives feedback to everyone else.
Sure thing! Later on today.
Interesting track with a few surprises, I like the way it changes from one thing to another - it starts with some beautiful ambience, morphs into electronica, then segues into something a bit reggae-like, then ends with a more downtempo feel. Good stuff.
