granty Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Cheers - it's a bit of an experiment with what I think's known as a circle of fifths, even though the circle isn't completed.

th555 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hmm, the drums and vocoder sound great together. Nice sounds all around.

granty Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks - been listening to a lot of Tobacco lately. The vocoder synth in Logic seems a bit limited though so if anyone's got any suggestions on alternative plugins I'd love to hear 'em...

cruising for burgers Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) this sounds like it was done by your avatar. the melodies are beautiful, really really beautiful! the drums don't do it justice, imo they ruin it a bit... i'm a sucker for vocoders and autotunes and whatnot, so i'm biased. btw, this song really reminds me of some other song which i can't recall right now... oh it's lynch's...

granty Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Wow thanks, about the melodies bit :) yeah I do suck at drums. I'm always torn between acoustic and electronic sounds. I'd use samples I've recorded myself if I had time. Like the Lynch track - hadn't heard that before. Been listening to this a lot lately as well, which bears a resemblance: Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide granty's signature Hide all signatures instagram.com/lo_five_ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/84080-may-i/#findComment-2187989 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dxtxa Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Really liking the transition at 1:50 and the bridge at 1:35 but I think they could come a little earlier. Really nice melodies but maybe turn down the vocal distortion a bit?

delet... Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 The song starts at 01:32 for me. Really nice vibes westhead. Were you singing? Worked out very nicely. Cool track. i agree with TIMJ about maybe fixing up the drums, little more variety and mix better, or play with some different samples to see if they work better.

Also it's sampled from a a Buddhist monk chant and the quality wasn't great - so I may redo them just recording my own vocal. On 7/14/2014 at 8:44 AM, delet... said: The song starts at 01:32 for me.

Cool track. i agree with TIMJ about maybe fixing up the drums, little more variety and mix better, or play with some different samples to see if they work better. I totally agree about the drums. I tend to stick to the same kits in Logic when I should be creating my own from scratch. I guess I'm stuck in a rut with using traditional drums sounds and patterns because that's my background - will definitely work on that though. This is all very useful feedback folks - thank you.

cead Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 This is a really beautiful tune! You have an ear for melodies.

Real Human Bean Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Generally pretty lush really. Nice melodies.Could do with opening up a bit more at 1:50.
