@Necronome it sounds like a decent ballad, very nice piano playing and you have a very good voice. Obviously the language barrier makes it a little hard to judge the lyrical and emotional content of the song, but the musianship is certainly excellent.
@AndyX I really like it, but then I'm a fan of Bossa Nova. Love the strings in the intro, that swoosh introduces the song really nicely. Love the sampled voices and the 60s feel.
Only criticism is that it's a shame you couldn't get Astrud Gilberto to do the vocals on it. A quirky singer could have made it even more engaging.
Nice, I like a bit of Bossa Nova, and nicely put together. I keep expecting Chris Rhea to start singing!
I doubt that
@AndyX - Catchy song! Nice intro 'noise'. Nice layers. Very good keys! A critisism I can think of now is: I think I did hear some overcompressed distorting (after about 02:00). Nice vinyl ending. Some latin voice singing on top of it would really lift it, but I think that is not a possiblity. Anyway: it is good and catchy as it is now. Good vibe!
Thanks to all for listening and for the comments! Yeah, the track is missing some nice Latin vocals... but my absolute weak spot is voice, so at least for now I'm playing around with sampled stuff...
It's the ninth of July and I already feel like I'm late
I've been thinking of making a few more sound cloud accounts, one for more guitar based songs, one for cover versions but I know I'll just get confused and mix them all up.
I had loads at one point, with clearly defined styles for each but they all ended up merged into one big horrible thing.
I've only got four now - the horrible noisy one, a slightly less horrible noisy one, transvestite disco and a pretend alcoholic jazz band
Hang on, no five - I also setup a 'proper' one but I don't use that much
…
What, like this: <b>bold</b>?
I don't have any house marks left, but I've made a note in my little book for when we get some more in love.
Sounds like a helluva night out though!
@marcel what a beautiful little song! Your guitar skills are for me always so consistent (&the playing on this track is amazing) but I really enjoyed your vocal on this track...u did the right thing by not cleaning the pipes mate,it makes for a much more authentic sad tone.Only two guitars and a vocal yet I found it thoroughly engaging.Great job,oh and lovely lyrics as well.
Hey @LostBoy85 , thanks a lot man!!
Having overall doubts about the whole project, very happy to hear you like it. I just read your post at the moment I was about to upload the second version I just finished. I really hope you like it as much as the first. I hope I haven't downgraded it for you. I post it in a minute.
****** NEW VERSION ******

I made a new version of my song (a remix). I hope the lyrics are better to hear now. I did a lot of tweaking of the vocals in Auria, but after all this work there might be no one who hears the difference
. Also made some other changes. It is just a remix, I haven't re-recorded anything.
English is not my first language, so I can make mistakes in pronounciation and choice of words.
@necrome,welcome to sotmc:) Firstly,did you write this song or is it a cover sung in Mandarin? (The melody sounded familiar) The piano playing is very nice and your Mandarin is superb!:D the vocal sounded a little loud in the mix to me and for some reason where I enjoyed the less busy arrangement of Marcels track I somehow wanted there to be a bit more in yours (just a personal thing) maybe some drums coming in from the second verse and some harmonies.You sing nicely though mate.Nice job:)
@Marcel this is mix is much better (see what I did there with the bold text?). You have put the voice front and centre where it needs to be. I think there is often a tendency to mix one's own vocals too low, maybe from self-consciousness or maybe simply because we know what the words are we are singing so we assume others will be able to pick them up.
Anyway this is a definite improvement on the previous mix. I like the accent as well, lends a particular charm to the voice.
Agree on every aspect of this, regarding this new Marcel version and vocals in general. We rarely (just saw one above, but that must the exception that proves the rule
see comments saying 'turn the vocals down....'
@richardyot Thanks a lot!!!
Happy to hear you like it so much better!! (no bold 'much' here, but I saw yours, good we have the info now (from Johnny) how to do these things). It is hard to put the vocals right. I not only put them with more volume, but also did tweaks with Pro Q, and added a bit of chorus to the voice. For me it sounds better now, and I am happy to hear that for you it also sounds much better now.
And thanks for pointing out in your previous comment (on the first version of the song) that the volume of the voice was too low. I do appreciate your comments on my songs a lot! They always make sense. Thanks for that.
Hey @marcel yes the new version is fine...BUT...(honestly,I preferred the first version) I'm gonna go a bit against the tide here because for me I'm not sure the louder vocal makes it better. the louder vocal highlighted something that I'm wrestling with in my own song and that is some ambient noise that I didn't notice on the first one.I realise this is a small issue
Doh....a bit premature with the "post" button there!:) anyway maybe I only noticed it because of my own struggles on my track.I totally get what u mean about not being sure about anything with a track after a while.On my own track I feel like I've already sung it more than Elton John has sung "your song"!!!:D So...there you go.Its still a lovely song mate and if your happier with the changes then that's the main thing.Its my favourite song you've done for sure:D
Wow, those Genres all sound pretty great. What are the names of all of them so I can check them out if I haven't already.
For those interested, I posted a song on Soundcloud as well. Kind of cheating, but most was done this month:
I'm going to try and experiment with some vocals next.
@BvsMV Good stuff. It reminds me of many different things/bands/sounds...in fact it seems to be a number of different songs all encapsulated in an overall feel or piece. Would love to hear the lyrics ---> vocals that would pull this all together....
@AndyX welcome! nice track mate.I loved the chord structure and it had a good holiday feel to it.My only critique is that at times I think something sounded a bit distorted,a symbol maybe(it was on two occasions at busy times).Forgive me if that's what you were going for.i look forward to hearing your future stuff:)
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. You always have very constructive/useful things to say in my book. Also very hilarious things to say.
@BvsMV Really like the arpeggio at the intro, particularly the high notes in it, and the overall development of the track. There is constant evolution to make it interesting and lots of nice and very musical content, with dynamics and variety.
Good job. Don't forget to comment on other people's entries too, this club is not a one-way street.
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, that intro was one of my favorite parts. How would you say the mix was? That's something I've struggled with. Finally, Yes, I was planning on making my way through the other tracks in here as to not become a SotM pariah.
Hey Marcel, I agree on this. The lyrics and singing were great. I couldn't get past the ambient noise/ hiss that came on when the vox kicked in. That's just me and I obsess on those things which I s why I can't get stuff done. However, the guitar playing was excellent and really moving. For the record i Am one of those people who put the vocals low or none at all out of self-consciousness so I feel like should shut up.
@BvsMV I thought the mix was good, nothing jumped out at me as being off, which is a good sign.
@Marcel When I listened to your revised track I didn't notice the hiss, I guess I was concentrating on the music, I will listen again tomorrow to check out the hiss. The easiest way to avoid hiss when recording vocals is to make sure not to drive the gain on the pre-amp too high.
Recording digitally requires the opposite approach to recording with analog: with analog you had to turn the lvel up to just below clipping to minimise the tape noise, with digital your levels should be much lower, the higher you push them the more noise you end up with, so the rule of thumb is to aim for -18db peaks, and then you can bring the signal up in the DAW without amplifying the pre-amp noise.
(edit) just listened again to the track, the hiss is there, but actually it doesn't detract from the music for me.
