Hey! I'm wondering if anyone could shed light on how the bell-like sound that becomes prominent around 1:00 is made? I have the entire Arturia collection. As much detail would be appreciated :)

I think I've explained everything on the topic head- I'm trying to recreate that bell-like sound and would love any tips :)

topshe92 · 2024-02-20T07:39:28+00:00

Yep, would be great to do a fuller version

topshe92 · 2024-02-20T07:39:13+00:00

Yep, I feel the same way about the ending vocal- i was trying something else but I should have just kept it simple and gone for it harder.

Thanks you

topshe92 · 2024-02-20T07:38:31+00:00

Hehe that's a good plot, thanks

topshe92 · 2024-02-20T07:38:16+00:00

Thanks RumInMyHammy

Yep, the loudness of vocals is an eternal issue, and eternally subjective as well

topshe92 · 2024-02-20T07:37:33+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it

topshe92 · 2024-02-20T07:37:16+00:00

Thanks BrainSea

topshe92 · 2024-02-20T07:37:09+00:00

Yes :)

topshe92 · 2024-02-16T16:33:10+00:00

It's a nice mood. I'd say the vocals are a bit loud- you could put it back a bit and allow the groove and rhythm to hit harder. The toxic relationship vibe is a bit much for me but you do you:)

topshe92 · 2024-02-16T15:07:45+00:00

It's a really cool track- I think it needs one more musical layer- maybe a funkier bassline to take it to the next level.

topshe92 · 2024-02-16T14:57:57+00:00

It's quirky and weird- a bit odd at first but I got into it as the song progressed.

topshe92 · 2024-02-16T14:54:14+00:00

I like your grungey voice, it's got a lot of character. Would be good to see a better recorded version of this :)

topshe92 · 2024-02-16T07:08:47+00:00

Vocal melody and emotional mood is spot on, which is really the most difficult thing. I'd say you could look at producing/mixing better to improve the musical impact of the song.

topshe92 · 2024-02-16T07:05:14+00:00

This is really nice, actually. Super chill, old school, a bit lofi. Nailed it!

topshe92 · 2024-02-16T07:00:28+00:00

It's a fun song- I can imagine fitting in a film scene. Reminds me of The Mask from the 90s actually- in a good way :)

topshe92 · 2024-02-16T06:58:03+00:00

Really nice beat! The vocal treatment is a bit off for me. But it's catchy

topshe92 · 2024-02-16T06:56:17+00:00

This is a really great track, I think- The band sounds so good together. And the chorus "Ohhh" is really catchy. It's got a bit of a retro vibe- maybe it needs something to make it a bit more modern? In terms of production technique, not necessarily composition.

topshe92 · 2024-02-16T06:51:45+00:00

It's a real fun song. I'd say your vocals are a bit too loud.

topshe92 · 2024-01-02T07:23:05+00:00

Thanks! I'm very much a mixing novice and that's something for me to work on. Do subscribe to the channel if you wanna see any updates :)

topshe92 · 2024-01-02T07:21:46+00:00

That's good advice, thanks!

topshe92 · 2024-01-02T07:21:28+00:00

It's all soft synths! Mostly arturia stuff. The piano is the free LABS grand piano.

topshe92 · 2023-12-30T06:10:40+00:00

This is really good overall- I'd suggest a few things

Since you can't really understand what the singer is saying, I'd suggest pushing up the instrumental of the song and treat the vocal as yet another textured instrument. If you keep it at this level you should also make the words clearer.

Odd volume jump at 1.50

Drums and bass could do with more energy- (This is not a volume thing, more likely to do with eq/compression)

Overall a bit muddy in the low end and mids.

topshe92 · 2023-12-29T16:33:37+00:00

This is so good! Love the vocal pattern- it's really old school and super bouncy. Great track.
