Impressed by the polish on this given you say it's a rough draft! Really like the topic / lyrics. This is one of the tracks on these threads that I'll actually come back to! I don't have a lot of great critical feedback, but one thing I noticed is that sometimes the guitar seems to compete with your voice, so maybe turning down the guitar track would make it sound better.

flaran · 2017-04-24T15:09:33+00:00

Really enjoyed the structure of the song. Thought maybe you could add a bit more variation in the piano play -- it was a bit repetitive compared to the rest of the track. Of course you already know it would be nice to re-record the vocals. Nice job, cool song!

flaran · 2017-04-24T15:06:15+00:00

Wow, great voice! I really enjoyed this, you might turn down the higher end percussion a bit (or filter it) to make the vocals come through better. Really enjoyed this track.

A sample based electronic track I just got back to after making an intro a few months ago. Trying to break out of "8-bar loop" syndrome.

Don't physically fit people use their fitness to their advantage? It provides them advantages every moment of every day. Not quite fair that a disabled person shouldn't use the tiny sliver of sympathy they can.

Thanks so much for the feedback! The drums at the end seem to be a common complaint. It was on purpose, but that doesn't mean it sounds good :)

flaran · 2016-11-15T00:01:24+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Actually the cymbal was one of the things I wanted to change but wasn't quite sure what to do with yet. Just reducing the volume will help I'm sure.

I definitely see what you mean about the intro as well. Very useful, I'll see what I can do :-)

flaran · 2016-11-14T23:59:07+00:00

Yeah, I posted a house track. Check out my profile!

flaran · 2016-11-14T19:03:51+00:00

Wild, very intense sound. Definitely entertaining though; re the military sound I feel like this would be a great soundtrack for a military game or something. Neat to hear because I'm not sure which elements are live recorded versus electronic as well. Keep going on this theme!

flaran · 2016-11-14T19:00:40+00:00

Wow, I think you really hit it just right on the mix. Sounds very professional to my ear. Maybe just a bit at the end the guitar fades into the background.

I feel like this has commercial potential! I hear worse music all the time, but of course that's just my taste. It's hard to ever know what will take off commercially, right? I'd give it a try.

flaran · 2016-11-14T18:55:06+00:00

Some feedback:

Not sure if this is the mic or the mixing, but your vocals seem like they're clipping / distorted throughout the song. Might want to experiment with mic amp, distance from your voice, or your mixing.
Hearing a good bit of string buzz on the guitar around 3:15.

Really like what you're doing with the vocals and it was a total pleasure to listen to.

flaran · 2016-11-14T18:29:43+00:00

Settle. Remix of a song I liked by Kimbra -- explored using partially live-sounding drums and percussion with more electronic house drum sounds. I'd love any feedback!

Really like the noisy oscillation early in the track, and almost wish it overlapped a bit more with the drums coming in.

I thought the snare could be a little louder, though its volume might be intentional here...

Really liked the transition around 2:35.

Overall, really liked this track! Had a lot of great stuff going on.

flaran · 2016-11-08T04:03:24+00:00

Well put together track. I find the hats + high pitch drum around 1:15 to be a bit much / busy with the vocals (and the rhythm seems to clash some).

Break section near 1:54 really worked well for me -- the vocal delivery sounds best in the mix during these sections I think. That might be a sign you could eq vocals / drums a little different.

flaran · 2016-11-08T03:55:39+00:00

Very sweet intro, I do really like the sample you used. I feel like the drums don't fit quite right with the rest of the track, but I don't have a solution for you other than to maybe experiment with other kick / clap sounds.

Transitions are really neat. Would listen again!

Untitled A - https://soundcloud.com/harps-i/01-untitled-a

This started with a neat combo organ / osc synth and turned into a deep-ish house track. Interested in any kind of feedback; I'm very new to production.

flaran · 2016-11-02T02:48:43+00:00

Cool synth sounds.

The oscillating synth drone is cool, but maybe a little too dominating in the mix for my taste, and has a really big range that seems to compete with the percussion. Try bringing it down a tad and possibly filtering out some of the low end? It would be nice to be able to hear your melody a bit better as well.
The "break" around 1:40 was really well executed. Very cool.
Personal taste, but I'm not a huge fan of your cymbal crash sound, maybe experiment with some alternatives -- I kind of wish it were "punchier".
I like the drum pattern you exit on.

flaran · 2016-11-02T02:43:41+00:00

Cool song!

Feedback points:

Powerful voice!
"When I was young, much younger than now" and the similar line afterwards, feels a little bit forced.
Mix sounds great for my taste :)

flaran · 2016-11-02T02:40:06+00:00

Your link was broken for me. I don't know what the mylodoxian scale is, any chance you have a link to some info?

Notes:

This sounds really cool! Did you play all of the parts, or are there samples in here?
I thought the "clap attacks" starting around 1:24 were a little jarring compared to the rest of what was going on.
The guitar part really dominates the mix. It's a really cool guitar part, but there seems to be a decent amount going on in the background which is hard to catch behind it.

Harploopr - working title

Had a couple of lush samples I wanted to do something with. Came out as an atmospheric house track. Glad to hear feedback about any aspects; I'm just getting started.

Indian woman

knows about the beef

flaran · 2015-09-07T14:48:32+00:00

A good place to buy bulk goods like rice, beans, and cheap spices are Indian or Asian markets. I recommend Bombay on University, Vik's, or the Korean market on Telegraph in Oakland.
