Me too...
Is it just me, or has Soundcloud completely stopped playing any tracks for the last 2 days. Can't get anything to play back. At all.
Intermittent here too. Weirdly it plays more often on IOS safari than on the desktop.
LostBoy85 reported the same problem a couple of days ago, and I also briefly had a problem yesterday, so you are not alone.
Thanks. Actually I just found it works for me on my mac on Chrome. But not on my iOS devices.
@Marcel - I can't seem to play your track from BOX though - on anything
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 That is weird. There is nothing wrong with the track or the upload. It should work. I have no problem opening it from the list that Richard made on page 1. It is pity, cause it is such a great track On iPad you could try the reload button thing in the address bar. Reload it, a few times if necesarry. And then of course tap the Play button. Hope that works. It starts with a few seconds of silence, so don't panic when you hear nothing.
About SoundCloud: a day or two ago I couldn't play SoundCloud files here too. It probably was down, that happens now and then. But now it works fine again on my iPad.
Alright, squeezing this in at the last minute, and the cover art too..
It's a clip of the title track of my next album due out on möbius spin records
Something a bit heavier than usual but I just flowed with the more techno based trance mood that I so loved in the 90s
@touchconspiracy Squeezing in? There's ages yet. I never have my footman even wake me until the last day of the month arrives. He brings a pencil and paper and I tap on his ribs until something touching occurs....
More seriously, and as regards your Symbolic -clip-, I find judging the relative quality of this kind of piece surprisingly difficult. I am missing both context and nuance. It seems a little lackluster (to me), but I'm guessing that's because I don't really understand what I'm listening to. Probably a weakness of our informal collective is that there are (often) times where -in reality- taste masquerades as criticism and knowing very little (especially of the history, as you reference 90's techno-based trance mood, and thus a lack of personal context), I think it's best I recuse myself.
I really look forward to the opinions of others/being a bit better educated.
Still feeling my way around SunVox. Actually had a choice of three but this one is the least abstract. You may or may not be able to discern my own vocal utterings on this one, not necessarily a good thing. Feedback both subjective and objective warmly welcomed.
The POS that is soundcloud, love it as I do, is continuing to hinder most attempts at playing still.
@dblonde I like the intro as it has a dark and mysterious kind of of feel, but I'm less keen on the prog-rock sounds that are used in the song once it kicks in - matter of taste maybe. Also I would prefer it if there was a little more melodic variation, rather than just reprising the same melody with different instruments and sounds.
I think though my main objection is that the mood of the song is a bit jumbled, the dark intro works (for me), but once the intro is over I'm not sure what the mood and emotion is trying to communicate, it sounds upbeat but I don't know how that is supposed to relate to the intro.
Musically it's good, and there's a great beat and some good melodic content, so on a technical level everything works, it's more the emotional content and mood that doesn't work for me.
@touchconspiracy I like this one, for me it's by far the most musical entry you've posted on SOTMC.
The intro melody is really hooky and appealing, and I like the counterpoint melody that comes in underneath it on the 30 second mark too. The second progression that comes in around 50s in is less effective for me than the first was, but it's a minor thing. The change at 1.30 is great too, adds variety and interest and brings some life to the track.
The beat is good, there's a genuine groove to the track that drives it along. For me your previous entries lacked all the things that this track does have: groove, melodic content, hooks. As a result it's much more enjoyable to listen to and bears repeated listing.
I will slowly work through feedback on all the tracks as and when I can... I've actually given almost all of them an initial quick listen.
@Jocphone
This is really interesting... I like a lot of things in it...
The overall mood created by the 'old broken hardware' feel of the sound I love (probably most of all)
And the voice mangling is really successful in parts
It's obviously very experimental sounding and quite abstract. It reminded me of something that might be in the intro or even the hook of a great Radiohead track. I guess, personally, I would be thinking 'how can I take parts of this and merge them into a slightly more conventional track to make really special and interesting'. But that's just me.
Overall, if I was to assess it as a finished track you might put on an album, it feel more like an intro, outro or interlude. Or possible the start of a pretty spooky but classy TV show. There's probably too much reliance on the voice samples throughout the track and not enough variation, development and structure for me personally.
But as a exercise in making something abstract and arty with Sunvox I think it scores 10 out of 10. It miakes me want to dig into Sunvox. How many hours of figuring out SunVox did it take you to get the point where you could produce that?
@Jocphone I could imagine this one somewhere in the middle of a Butthole Surfers album, and in fact it's almost verging on the musical, if I listen hard I can actually hear a bass line and some intertwining synth melodies.
It's definitely not as "difficult" as some of the experimental entries, and there is also a some humour and charm in there, not sure I would come back to it though. My main crit actually is that it's too repetitive, one of the best bits is at the end when the vocal sample is dropped and you get a better listen to the underlying parts. It could do with more variety and dynamics I think. The vocal sample is pretty cool, but it doesn't need to run throughout so much of the track.
Forgot to say, I like the bits where the drums/rest of the sounds drop out occasionally and you just hear a vocal part on it's own... Some of it sounds like strange sung notes being hit.
Johnny lol!
I'm certain I'll never be able to make music that's to your taste mate..anyway, cheers for listening tho
Thanks Richard, appreciate these comments..as explaind in my comment in the latest Gagdet thread posted today, I'm still feeling my way around Gadget, I feel no internal pressure, just am developing my style slowly but attentively.
I think Gadget deserves patient focus and this if one commits to apps that suit them, that this will deliver long term satisfying results
Yes, melody is so important, I have a formula and am just going to put the hours in
Ha ha! spot on you guys. The vocals were a bit ad-hoc as I was playing with SunVox's ability to sample on the fly. I quickly created 8 samples and just went for it triggering, them with the piano keys. There is some fairly complex processing on top mind you. And one person's "Arty and Abstract" is another person's "Business as usual", it's all just music to me.
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 thanks for the detailed comments again.
SunVox is my new obsession, when I'm not being distracted by the onslaught of drum machines, so it's difficult to say how much time I have spent with it. I would say that it is a lot simpler than it appears. The videos by Solar Lune on Youtube were a great help.
There are a great many things to like about SunVox, the timeline and sampling being the main, but also I was getting a bit weary of the sheen that Gadget gives to everything I produced. There is one fatal flaw to SunVox though in that it isn't able to sync with anything but, for the moment, I am enjoying learning about synthesis in more depth.
@richardyot I couldn't with hand on heart say that this is a 100% finished track but I did think I had overcome enough hurdles in producing it, and trying new techniques that made it interesting enough to submit. I was expecting either complete silence or "WTF" in response so I'm pleased you two took it seriously. It's not that I try to be difficult, as I said above it's all music to me, just that I like to work with the ideas that are interesting to me personally. Overall though, you are both mostly right in your criticism and it is a bit on the repetitive side so I might go for a second attempt if I get time before the end of the month.
@Jocphone germ of brilliance and madness here. On some wrong days (in my more hallucinogenic past) I seem to remember walking down Kensington High Street with this sort of sound in my head, partially happy and partially ready for the world to end.
Agree with the repetition issues, which makes this effective for the potentially sectioned among us, but perhaps not so appealing to the general population. Particularly like the last ten seconds.
I've updated my track with a new mix, that (hopefully) fixes the sibillance issues and the level of the vocals going into the chorus. I also tracked down and fixed some little pops and clicks that were really bugging me, caused by sloppy timeline editing in Auria.
@richardyot
Thanks for the comments. You are quite correct in your judgements. I like the track as an idea but I agree it's confused, it's what it is!
I like some prog but it's not really my cup of tea either, it's called porcupine due to it being maybe a little porcupine tree like?
Cheers DB
Thanks @JohnnyGoodyear that accurately describes my general countenance.
Change the tense and that's not a bad epitaph..
@Richardyot good job mate that sounds a hell of a lot better! Did u take a compressor off as well? The vocal sounds a lot more natural now.i just don't think u need as much glitter on your voice as u think.
One other thing u may consider in the future is the end of some words,eg "coming on tonighT". That last t is quite loud,which may be a choice but if not is a little distracting,but this is me just really rooting around for weeds.
Well done mate!:)
Hi @jocphone, I wish I would just sit down with ANY app I own and properly get to grips with it.im sure it would help no end.So I gave your track a couple of listens.Richard wasn't lying there is a melody in there which I liked,I also liked how you varied the speed at times.the sampling was a bit too busy for me if I'm honest but despite not owning or listening to any of this kind of music I did enjoy it more on my 2nd go so...that's gotta be good right?:D
@Touchconspiracy very nice & goodluck with the album mate.
May it be so for us all.
Thanks, I also think the first D going into the chorus is a bit too loud as well. Can noodle with all this for ages, not sure if the track is worth the effort though, so at this stage I'll leave it in the pile that says "come back again in six month's time".
As for glitter on the voice, you're quite right, it's driven by insecurity.
Cheers @LostBoy85 and yep, it's all good. Can't ask for any more than an honest opinion and am chuffed that people listen to it even once all the way through so you've gone above and beyond.
As for getting to grips with apps, it just takes time and perseverance. Learning something like Gadget or SunVox is just matter of trying things, getting frustrated, putting the iPad down, doing something else, having an idea you want to try, rinse and repeat a few hundred times. I'm sure you mentioned that you go through a similar process with your vocals,?
I need to go through and have a good listen to all this months tracks when soundcloud decides to let me. We may all seem worlds apart musically but it's still feels quite a privilege to have people who care enough to listen to each other's work and take the time to comment.
Thank you sir!
An addition to my previous track commentings:
@touchconspiracy,
Pretty good, has potential. I liked the intro and the change at 1:30 best, the section at 0:54 didn't fit terribly well for me (but thats just personal taste). The claps were a tad loud and the 'core' drum parts pretty static until 1:30. Good effort.
@Jocphone
Mad as a box of frogs, this one ! Thats not to say I didn't find it interesting though. The bizarre vocals sounded a bit like Mark E. Smith on Acid.
Thanks Igneous.
The listening tastes of this club seem to err on the conservative side..
Although the vocals were very spur of the moment it did occur to me that they might be a little too MES inspired. I'm pretty new to making songs with my own vocal noises so I will just explain the influence as a foreign body that needs to work it's way through my system.
