I kinda like that Dark Angel but there's some some of the vocal that's out of context & the drum loop??? Just ehh... I'll relisten to the others when I have more time but the basics are there. Some of the lyrics are kick. I'm thinking that when I have more time, this will be something good to listen to. There is some help needed in places in what I heard.

Kendrix Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 [quote]Originally posted by halljams: [b]Hey all. i know i haven't done any listening in a while and it seems to work real nice here in that people who post stuff to listen to, make a point of hanging around and listening and being constructive. So i'll go back to doin that some. My friend Brian Foulds and I are experimenting with some things and these two 30 sec commercial beds are an example So you know you may find yourself with a beautiful house, and a beautiful wife and you may ask yourself; how did i get here? and the days go by. and you still haven't listened to our songs yet. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN TO YOU!!! Listen today friends. Yes, there is a free car . :) [url=http://www.seaweedmusic.com/privatedownloads/commercial%20beds/]2[/url] littlemigiggys[/b][/quote]Halljams , I liked new car better than edgy but both sounded very good on my small computer speakers at work. I loved the cymbal pitch change thing at the beginnning of new car. I dont dabble in jingles/commercials. Id see both these bits as great intros to a song.

I see a few possibilites 1) She had good luck meeting men at the first funeral and wanted to get to another one 2) Didnt want to risk the competition of the sister for the man of her dreams 3) Shes just plain crazy and there is no rationale that applies.

PBBPaul Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Not too long ago, my band and I recorded a CD's worth of material in a marathon weekend at my home studio. I'm pretty new at the production side of live recording and would appreciate any objective input I can get. So what better audience than here? Please be honest; I can take it. One of the tunes is the link here: http://my.execpc.com/~wpwmew/youdid~1.mp3 I'll add some more when I have time. Let me add that this has not been mastered in fact it is in the rough stage so I can make changes. Thanks in advance.

Kendrix Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 [quote]Originally posted by Dak Lander: [b]Ani'Fa, a valued, insightful, member of these forums wrote a song called "Safe and Sound". I ran across the words and worked up a melody for the tune without hearing Ani's original. I sent it to her, she liked it, but we're both of the opinion that it would be nice to hear comments on my version versus hers. They are quite far apart as to genre & style. Do us a favor and give us honest, valued input. My version is, as all my solo stuff is, rough and stark. There is no processing of any kind. Recorded through an MXL1006 mic into a Phonic 1202 mixer, a Soundblaster Live card & into n-Track Studio. Ani's original, on the other hand, is much more polished sounding. We're not looking for critique in regards the above, nor is this a what's better thing. It's all about the song & genre & style differences. Here we go: [url=http://www.daklandermusic.com/songs/safe_sound.mp3]MY VERSION[/url] of Safe and Sound. [url=http://www.musicbizbuzz.net/mbb/whispers/safeandsound.htm]THE ORIGINAL[/url] version of Safe and Sound. Thanks in advance for taking the time.[/b][/quote]Hmm this is a bit too much of a win /lose situation as you set it up. But here goes. I found Anifa's melody to be more engaging and yours a bit more generic/predictable. Given your request that we ignore the arrangement and production thats the main observation I'd make. Anifa- you need to not hold back on the vocals. Let it rip and open it up. My feeling is that you can improve on this take if you do that. I liked the melody. Keep em comin.

Dak Lander Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Hey thanks Kendrix. I believe both AniFa and I think it's a win/win situation. We agreed that it would be interesting to get responses because the versions are so different. The melody I put up, I did without hearing her version. She wrote one hell of a good song lyrics wise. When I heard her original version I though it was kick ass too. I listen to her version alot & agree that she just needs to let it go a bit more with her vocals. I have the song in my play list and perform it regularly so there are some people who now know that AniFa is a great writer. I always credit those "unknown artist/writer" songs when I do them live.

That 4onthefloor kik thing needs to be used with some restraint too. The stuff/sounds you put on top are neat but there is a space that sounds un filled to me in the middle somewhere. I'm really not too hip to this kind of music but it sounds a little unfinished somehow. Some breaks would really be nice. Drum fills or an ambient no drum section or something. How bout a chord change? Is that allowed in this stuff? As for the other ones i found i had a similar problem with them feeling a bit unfinished. That's just how i hear them.

As for the chord changes, that was intentional to leave them out. I can see how if you're not into that kind of music, it may be a lesser quality, but it's common, and I usually prefer it that way in trance songs. You're probably somewhat right about them sounding unfinished. I've only been making this kind of music for a year or so, so I'm trying to find a "sound" I guess. However, I've been working on these songs, writing and recording and mixing and remixing, for so long I'm sick of them. Perhaps in the future I'll make some changes and make a "remixed" version of a couple songs. I agree about the need for a break of some sort. When I'm writing, I get carried away, lost in a "trance" (yuk yuk yuk!), and by the time I can step back from the song, I don't want to change it. I appreciate the comments, thanks!
