    @klownshed thank you so much! That’s quite possibly the nicest comment I’ve ever received.

    Tbh it’s a little more overground than what I normally do. I started with one idea and as elements get added in it just became clearer that it’s going in that direction. Over the years I’ve learnt to go with the flow in that respect.

    I used Moises to split the track. There’s reverb and drum artifices left in the vocal by the software. It’s software that can throw up lovely surprises. At first it was a real pain. I wasn’t getting a clean vocal but I leaned into it. In places I left the reverb wash between vocal lines in to add a darker layer. When removed it creates a clean lift. I also used those elements to create some fx, which tie nicely to the vocal for transitions.
    There was an interview with Loyle Carner and his producer on a podcast about making his new album. He talked about stripping samples in Moises, it leaving weird things behind and how eventually they would deliberately run their own sounds through Moises to deliberately get weird glitches. So that’s kinda where I got the idea to use what I can, that and the one synth, one break challenge I suppose. Accept the things that limit us and get creative. That gave me the confidence to keep going with it I suppose.

    That’s a rather long way of saying splitter, but I find that stuff interesting, so thought you might too. 🤣

    Now that Logic has a stem splitter built in I'm kind of expecting more things like this, with people making remixes by isolating the vocals.

    It's interesting stuff for sure.

    As for artefacts, there's an app on desktop that amplifies the sounds that lossy audio compression like mp3s toss away. You can run your mix through it, isolate the stuff that would be removed and use those sounds in you mix in all sorts of creative ways.

    Pretty melody- I might call it plaintive, haunting and actually rather beautiful. Great listen! Production is top rate too.

  • @squeals wow, really impressive and professional sounding production. Emotion running through those vocals, which are delivered perfectly. Really, really enjoyed this one

    Hey @yellow_eyez

    This tune sets a nice somber mood. I enjoyed your choice of sounds. Lots of variety throughout. All of the parts sounded like they were played live, so the tune had a nice authentic feel. When the drums drop out at the end (around 2:12), it sounded like the synth lead went out of time. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.

    I didn't listen to the original. This is a great track. The singer's voice has a lot of character so you had a good starting point. Really tasty synth and bass parts. The parts complement the vocals really well. Great grooves. Your parts leave great space for the vocal to ring through.

  • I’m new to this thread but I’ve been jamming out to the jams. Gotta say we got some talent in here!

    I don't listen to a lot of music like this but I can appreciate the production quality. The mix was solid. Nice chilled out grooves.

    @squeals

    This is really good. I think your mix is amazing here. Something really pops out articulately. Nice rhythmic choices and I like the acoustic sounds. Awesome vocals and lyrics

    @kmatic

    Nice track . Reminds me of the 90s club songs but with better modulation. I like the filter sweeps too. Fun song.

  • @yellow_eyez thank you so much! I never had a track with a vocal that comes in early, it really changes how things fit.
    @klownshed I’ve saved that and will deffo be using it. Big thank you.
    @BillS @ecamburn thanks so much.
    When I heard Dans new song I thought that vocal performance has something unique about it. The way it cracks a little in places, it’s quite beautiful. It put me in mind of what I call ‘sad bangers’ those disco tunes that connect lyrically. The timing of the vocal, that little bit preceding the 1st beat had to be respected, it’s that which gives it character. But it’s kind of hard to work with, especially speeded up. So I’m really happy with the outcome.
    Can I also say a big thanks for the nice comments, I have been feeling a bit of imposter syndrome recently.

    Nice! The OP-1 is really a nice piece of gear. The middle part is super cool and interesting, catchy piano melody. The drums are a bit too loud for my taste.

    Immediately I know where I am when I’m listening to that. I’m hopefully on a rooftop terrace at a mysterious last minute location, late June, suns out, nice glass of pims or beer in a green bottle. (No really, that’s a thing I’m doing if I get a sitter sorted 🤣)

    The synth element that comes in at about 17 seconds I thought was too busy and I’d maybe trim the second half of the bar or shorten the notes by a very small fraction, but on third listen, I’m wrong, it works fine.

    I’m LOVING nearly every thing about that first breakdown. The transition into it is class, the vocal and that filtering glitchyness, just great. The drop doesn’t land so well to my ears. Either a silence, a high hat run, let the wash run on and filter it some, to build tension a little more. There’s a high hat that’s filtered out and comes back ever so slightly at 1:06 plays twice then drops out for third time that might be tricking my ear also. It just feels like it comes in a little sunddenly and or without landing. That could be cos my phone isn’t the sound system this is meant to be heard on. So you are absolutely right to tell me where to go.

    The second drop works so much better, possibly because the filtering is different. The vocal works better at the end and there is actually a wee high hat hit at 2.32 that signposts the transition. The vocal on the other side ties in and makes the whole thing for me.

    About there’s some fx at 1:21 1:24. I love the double thing, but stylistically I’d only have that synth chord land the second time, no drums coming after, just to emphasis that chord resolution. Might work, might not but I say that because, those synth chords are STYlISH AFC!! I ❤️ them. (There more I listen, the more I would just leave it 🤣)
    Track is really balanced, really nice sound choices. Love the filtering at the end.

    As always, feel free to say I’m talking shite. Just thought I’d share my observations but tbh the track is cool.

    Not my genre, but I liked it. The synth patch at around 1:30 is great, and I liked how you built the whole track around the vocals, they really shine. A nice club remix!

  • edited May 2024

    My submission for the month. I wanted to post another track but I'm not really sure about that one so I'll ask for your opinion.

    It's an electronic/ambient track, I experimented a bit with vocal choirs and new apps (Nerd Synth). God I love distortion effects so much :D Also Patterning 3 is a really great piece of software.

  • @unlink cheers dude.
    I wish I could remember what I used. Cos I like it too. Note to adhd self, save patches! Make notes! Remember where notes are!
    I think it might be DRC, there maybe some baby audio pitch free app, very small amount. but it’s deffo run through Bram perforator. I really gel with that app.

  • @squeals said:

    Lol yes I feel you :D I try to make paper notes about what I did but often I forget and then I'll need to "read" the piano roll and trying to figure out how the heck I made that part. But I got burned too often with patches so at least I'm saving them often :-)

    I really like this, the backwards-sounding patch is excellent, and the keys melody is great. The whole arrangement is really interesting and flows well, and the vibe is beautifully atmospheric. Great job.

  • And That was made with patterning?

    Yeah the drum sounds and the sequence are from Patterning, and the reverb effect is Spacefields.

    Also I agree on your last post about the engagement, same goes for @matdun25848834 I'd say.

    🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍isn’t enough brother - you need to type out replies and critiques . Otherwise your not IN the SOTMC your just leaving songs for us to listen to , which if that’s the case, just leave it in creations in your own thread man . It’s fine whatever you choose but the first post clearly states you are supposed to not just have us listen to your work and give feedback but also expect it from you .

    SOTMC works on Reciprocity boys

    Am I right? @richardyot and @klownshed

    I mean we should start to make sure we all chip in I think.

    If I see people just posting a song and then not reciprocating with feedback, I just ignore them. If people aren't willing to take the time to listen and comment on all the work that's posted in this thread, they're not worth engaging with.

    Oh yeah, I had him on ignore as I think he has done it before . So def. In fact, that’s why I didn’t comment on his post, and I’ll remove my feedback for the other guys….

    No one is going to stop you from posting in this thread but If you don’t leave feedback , don’t expect any.

    :smiley:

    Some people wait until the end of the month to respond. I'd personally prefer it if they joined in more as things are posted rather than post all the feedback in one lump as it encourages a bit more discourse. But at least they do listen eventually.

    I personally find it a bit strange when people come back to comment on their own feedback, yet still can't take the time to comment on anybody else's music. It's not like this is the only place to post, especially if you don't like/can't be bothered commenting on other people's music :-)

  • I kind of dip in and out. In all honesty I try and listen to everything properly.
    When I listen to things, i like to take my time with it. I’m sure a lot of you will know what I mean when I say I hear the parts individually or the whole thing when I want to. I didn’t know for a long time a lot of folks can’t. I like to rewind bits and work out what I like and don’t like. I listen on different systems when I can. I enjoy hearing new music, your music.
    So when I can’t do that, I’m not going to.

    Unfortunately, when it comes to my own stuff, I struggle to unfocus. I get distracted by parts and struggle to take a step back and hear the whole thing. That’s what I need you guys for.

    I’m often unsure about commenting. So I get why others wouldn’t. I’m not a great mixer, I am not the most technically gifted producer, i spend a ridiculous amount of time doing things my daw would do instantly if I just learned how. So why would anything I say matter?

    But I do anyway, because by doing so, it might help. I try and relate things to what I know, but sometimes it’s not something I’m as familiar with. In which case I’d feel even weirder.

    So with that in mind @unlink I really liked the track. Especially, the harmonic, resonance, drone tones that play against the piano. Wasn’t expecting the percussion and it works so well. I’m going to be playing your track tomorrow before I get my blood pressure checked 👍

    Holy words
    It's true that this is already the second time I've posted tracks but I don't share feedback
    sorry for the way but as I said many times I can't express opinions
    Next time I won't leave the feedback space blank
    this way of mine is due to the insecurity of my know-how

    Original

    The remix works really well, with the music perfectly complementing the vocal, it's a nice blend of indie and electronic vibes. The artifacts on the voice just add to the feel, in a good way.

    The percussion is great, as is the bass, and the arrangement is well thought out.

  • I’m all for reminding folks about the norms in this thread. The typical song poster in music forums is selfish IMO. In my experience, the ratio of songs reviewed to returned favors is at least 10 to 1. Not on this thread. I do appreciate your zen attitude @richardyot 🙂

  • Thanks for the kind feedback on my track,Billionaire conscience.

    I don’t know whether it’s directed at me, but I will take time this weekend to listen and comment back on other tracks in the thread, it’s just been full on at work these last 2 weeks - and as you would have seen I mainly post to the creations main area, and I’ve made lots of feedback on that forum

    Sorry if I’ve offended anyone, it’s not my intention.

    Yes the whole point here is to give mutual feedback, that's really the purpose of the club, so that we've not just posting into the void.

    I have in the past been more pushy and angry with contributors who don't play by the rules, but the SOTMC has been going almost 10 years now and I've come to accept that there will always be a few who don't play nice.

    My entry for the month,

    Very nice, voice goes perfectly with the song and I really like the synth/guitar patch on the intro and mid break. Are the combos of built in iPad sounds/external ? Some really interesting chord changes as well

    I just wished I had a voice to do more vocal tracks :)
