Downtempo/ambient project

[apropos of nothing]

The vocalist on this project sang in time and tune with a click track. The keyboardist came and put some lines over that, and I rearranged, picked voices added some homemade percussives.

Lemme know what you think about the mix.

What tools did you use to do the percussion? It?s really well done.

Glad you dug it.

The overall bloopy bits were done off out a couple of filtered percussion samples on my Ensoniq Halo. The loop at the end was bastardized out of a whole lot of breakbeats in Acid. There's also some miscellaneous fruityloops programming in there.

What reverb did you put on her voice? It fits the song perfectly.

Can't even remember to tell you the truth. I processed offline.

The only thing I don?t like is the piano sound that comes in around 2:08. I don?t like the piano patches on most keyboards, and I realize you have to work with what you have. It could use a little more high end to keep it from sounding murky. That?s my only nitpick.

I recorded in Cubase and then processed stuff. The piano was originally MDA piano, but I processed the hell out of it. It turns backwards midway through the song. Y'r probably right that I mighta gotten carried away with it. Hard to stop messing with stuff.

Thanks for listening!

that's really nice.

the verb is pretty damn perfect. and any piano that turns backwards halfway through is ok by me.

Great. The vocals really pull together all the blips and bloops into a smooth, coherent tune with nice slow development. Good to hear someone taking time with a song, not rushing through at 180 bpm. It creates a cool place and plays there for a while. Nice one.

overall pretty cool. I think the vocals are delivered well but lack focus...theres not enough bite and the lyrics arent that distinguishable. Its kind of hard to tell what kind of image the song is projecting...theres a zillion groups out there making this kind of music and you need to stand out somehow.
