i think the problem with a tut for this kind of thing is that you need to kind of have a feel for what sounds right and that's not something you can learn from a tut. hopefully you will have a knack for it though :)

Piece of Pieces - 2:36

No Place For A Stranger... again

I posted this about 6 months ago in this VERY TOPIC but I've recorded it again and It's going on the album I'm working on.

I'm really happy with how it turned out.

==

BROWN - that is really good for your first vocals! I mean, its good for anyone, but for your first time its great! The tune is nice and the drums are effective, if a little out of the ordinary.

Brown:

Well I couldn't rap if my life depended on it, so in my ears it's good! The sound is heavy but quality of sound kind of mushy(not so good to me).
  I feel like the long rap-part in the middle get's a little tedious after a while. You should try to mix it up with some of the singing(chorus), or instrumental parts/breaks to make it more dynamic maybe. Other than that, very good first attempt!! Keep it up.

JMickle:

I don't know how technical I should get, seeing as you obviously know your way around a sequenser and recording equipment. But here're my initial reactions:

1: Too much tune. In some parts where the (auto)tune is not correctly set it glides into notes that does not fit the scale. But even in the parts that it hits the right notes, I can hear it working really hard. To me it does not feel like the kind of song that makes your voice sound like a robot. My tip: re-re-re-re-re-re-record until you get it right Smile I'm personally much too lazy to do that unless it's a paid job(just listen to my Tim Balls-song), so it gets sour here and there...'cus I like a real voice more than the autotune making its appearance Smile

2: The dynamic range is kind of big. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I tried to put a little(pretty hard actually) master on it to even things out. I sent it to you. Liked it a little better personally.

I don't know if it's intentional but the bit-rate is horrifyingly low. If you're saving the hq-version for album release, then smart move.

I hope I didn't make it sound like it wasn't enjoyable, because it was! Once again a little out of my safety zone, I've never written that kind of bluesy, laid back pop...so well done for successfully putting it all together! :D

@Falconsheild -

Yes please be as technical as you can.

1- Yeah I am really lazy with recording vocals. I have managed to double track my vocals really pristine before but it took me about half an hour to do it so it puts me off. I do have trouble singing that song (or at least hitting the notes right) so maybe I should change the key or something. But yes I am going to re-record the vocals sometime in the future, because I was a bit annoyed at how many notes I had to change in the auto tune. BTW the vocals on your tim balls song in the chorus were amazing so i dont get what you mean :P (well the lead line was, the backing vocals less so)

2- Yeah I listened to my version after yours and mine sounded kinda boring. I think i need to start running my songs through a spectrum analyzer to see what the range looks like and even it out. And learn to master Smile

I have got a high-quality version as well, I just always upload my songs as low bit rate oggs because there so small and are still pretty listenable. I wasn't holding it back if thats what you were thinking though xD,  I can send you a WAV if you want.

Thanks! I am trying my hardest to get my songs to sound as professional as possible and this is some great advice.

I'm planning on re-recording all the live stuff on better equipment soon and redo that ugly-ass solo as well Smile

I had a go at mastering it myself, what you you think?

http://pub.gamingw.net/55526/No%20Place%20For%20A%20Stranger.mp3

Did all sorts of stuff to each individual instrument, and panned them differently and compressed and shit. I haven't listened to it next to falco's but its miles better than it was at first.

In which way did you master it? It sounds more like it's been mixed a bit.

The new version sounded alot better indeed. It's more spacial, but with the side-effect that your song sounds farther away(or like, boxed).

I thought I'd share a few of my pieces.

http://falconshield.com/new/Josef%20Falkensk%f6ld%20-%20get%20out_wip.mp3 This is actually more of a work in progress. I don't know if'll ever complete it. I like the build though. Recorded it for the metal troubadours but didn't really feel like it'd fit in.

http://falconshield.com/new/Josef%20Falkensk%f6ld%20-%20You.mp3 This is one of my more streamlined pop songs. Recorded more than a year ago so the quality is a little so-so here and there but I liked it. Never really knew what to make of it though. Enjoy!

well i guess i did both :P

I added a really quiet 3 beat delay to everything as well, which sounded kinda nice. and filled out the gaps.

i think i need to boost the bass still. i may work more on it tonight.

==

i really liked those, the metal one was pretty funny and cool.

hey dude this remastered version sounds awesome. i can actually hear the gaps taken away from the original. the bpm imo seems like its been increased from the original which makes it sound better. did you add a reverb to your vocals? *saved on ipod archives* Naughty

I thought I'd share a few of my pieces. >>> This is actually more of a work in progress.

I like your wip a lot more than your other song. If you do plan on finishing it don't ever hesitate to post it here!!

Yeah I agree, that Get Out song was really cool! Please finnish and post it

JMickle, I really prefer your old piano version of that song to be honest, I've listened to that one a billion times. Nothing wrong with the new one, I just really like the piano more for this song..

I like the humping mood in your song Jmickle  foget naughty And shit, I wish I had some old recordings of my friend because you sound exactly like him :O

Old song I never completed. No vocals, since I kinda concentrated on making the bass and drums as funky as possible >_>

I made the theme song to a couple of my friends' video project a few months ago. As none of you had this teacher it won't be funny to you, but whatever.



Also, I'm the blonde guy with the plaid shirt in the video.

I'm thinking of doing an album maybe

http://www.zshare.net/audio/7390038277c54a04/

this is still repetitive but hopefully it's like, repetitive while remaining interesting like various musicians I like

A friend and I recorded this cover today, there were some slipups and we were tired, but I think it turned out okay..

I'm the guy that you can see.

I'd like to hear this if you could up it somewhere else? That site doesn't work for me and hip-hoppish critique is all I'm really good at.


What do you guys think of this? It's going to be on an upcoming mixtape I'm doing and it'll feature Yusuf Halal (Soulmman on this site) singing backup vocals on the chorus and spitting a verse. He's done a practice one but I've just put my bit up here for now. Any critique on the flow/mixing/chorus etc would be great!

Dammnn son you spit fire on that track. Well mostly, I didn't like your opening lines they were too cliché (Microphone check 1 2 what is this// ....//// business//). But your flow is sick. Is that your own beat? If so you mixed it well. Got a link to the mixtape?  Naughty

~





I'm in need of some critique, suggestions etc. I'm working on this beat, but I don't know what to do with it. I suck at variety and when I listen to it over, I can think up lyrics but the beat itself seems too basic to me. Any ideas on how I can improve it? The link >>> http://www.tindeck.com/listen/wxlh

@ brown: I take it you're aware of that you're basically ripping Beyonce's "Halo". Apart from that, record some percussion from your living room or kitchen. Cutlery, bottles/glass, pots and pans etc etc... loosen it up and make some interesting sounds.

Emot Hmm I see. I shall try adding random sounds. And yeah its a basic rip of Halo, but the songs supposed to be like that. I think for the chorus I'm gonna make a girl sing a line or two from the actual Beyoncé song.

Hey

My band Asokah recently played for a Battle-of-the-band-esque competition called Frogstock. Just looking for thoughts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GETgVgz-jY

Btw, the music is in french. Here are the lyrics:


Calciné
écrit par Simon Fraser, Gavin Fraser, Stefano Dodaro

La décortication de la planète,
Abime les sentiments de la terre.

Bec d'écorce,
Bec d'écorce,
Bec d'écorce,
Du charlatain.

Oscillant sur place.
Le ciel grisaille.
Un pénombre abattus.
Condamné, Condamné, Condamné.

Blessure en peroxyde,
Kérosène boit les arbres.

Il est si lourde,
Ce cœur d'or,
Comme la mer qui frappe,
Le cadavre du monde.

Condamné, Condamné, Condamné.

Allons trop loin.
Étincelle d'arbres

Reminds me of my brother's weird music, that he records in my studio. Some of the lyrics are in swedish but for non-swedish listeners there are really no point in posting them :P

Wow dude! That was like... well I've actually never heard anything like that before... its pretty trippy!

another thing, I have lyrics written, but don't really have any means to record the songs at this point. Would it be appropriate to ask for criticism on lyrics without the musical context?

I can't see why not. Personally...I'm looking for talented writers to make lyrics for my songs...or good lyrics to write songs to Smile

I find that doing one first and then the other is trickier than composing and writing lyrics both at once, just because I find that I can't continue with the song without considering both. I however find that hack lyrics can ruin a good song, although there's a thin line between mediocre and ingenious.

This is for a side project of mine, of which the working title is Aperseidoverpass. It might be micromanaging, but I've already begun making album art and placing the tracks in my desired order before actually recording or composing musical scores other than drums. I'm currently in the process of composing vocal parts and finding what notes I'm hitting (which is taking a while considering that I'm no singer and have never played a tuned instrument) which will then lead to a collaboration between me and my guitarist friend who I'm proud to say, also wants to realize these lyrics into songs. But yeah, here they are, in their (almost) entirety.

Eruza Ashes

Verse 1:
Was this manifested outside the daydream
these footsteps considered grass stained contraband
As skyscapes made this prison seem convex

They've taken in the waif
He sees through crimson iris's

The nighlty voices bled
Birthmarks burned "abandoned phase"

Doppelganger's sooth had living proof
Seeing the cross hair's gaze anticipate
Was this deathbed always reserved for the both of us

Chorus:
Severed the nerves too tense
These markings made you seem like one of us
The gods coveted a cause, the gods coveted a cause

Don't free the marionettes
For they will surely hang the puppeteers
Imbalance they all intend, Imbalence they all intend

Verse 2:
Stockpiled these lives inside of ours
Intervened, but only to ignite the catalyzer
The vessels defected, in the parallel's caving-in

Tumults of grand design
She's got eyes like mine

A troupe of fugitives
Dragged the system to its gave

Chorus:
Severed the nerves too tense
These markings made you seem like one of us
The gods coveted a cause, the gods coveted a cause

Don't free the marionettes
For they will surely hang the puppeteers
Who will be bound instead, no longer a sovereign kiss

Verse 3/Refrain:

You should have seen the signs
She cloaked a coat of arms

Layers of order torn
Suspend the bourgeois crypt

They filled their vacant eyes
with a dauntless peon's pursuit

Conflicting sacred hands
This place was promised theirs

....(small break right here)...

Live for the both of us
Intrinsic soulless bind

A desperate genocide
Can't cradle the fleeting reigns

And from fate's hand, she strayed
Who among us can contain

These planes will reunite
And forever we will wait

Chorus (This is pretty much "double time" in comparison to the other choruses. Just think of the first to choruses of "Eriatarka" and you'll get an idea of what I'm after):
Severed the nerves too tense
These markings made you seem like one of us
The gods coveted a cause, the gods coveted a cause

Don't free the marionettes
For they will surely hang the puppeteers
We dormant architects, we dormant architects

Interpolarity

Verse 1:
We walk in strides
No better path to walk
Too common this progression
from "de" to "generation"

Ignite the fire
between your eyes and ears
Pretend? Can you do nothing
but echo the words that adhere

Pre Chorus:
If you're strong, then it doesn't show
Cuse' your energy's wasted on
trying to keep alone

If you're strong, then it doesn't show
Cuse' your energy's wasted on
trying to break this home

It's nothing but a matter of choice
Your bitter heart, your bitter voice

Chorus:
Please stop pulling the strings
In the end, you're the one who's tangled instead

Please stop pulling the strings
In the end, you're the one who's tangled instead

Verse 2:
So bide the time
Her past breathes insecure
With reigns, we paved a better path
but it caves like the old

Imbued, those lips left coarse commands
without whispering a word
You're incredible

Pre Chorus:
If you're strong, then it doesn't show
Cuse' your energy's wasted on
trying to keep alone

If you're strong, then it doesn't show
Cuse' your energy's wasted on
trying to break this home

Its nothing but a matter of choice
Your bitter heart, your bitter voice


Chorus:
Please stop pulling the strings
In the end, you're the one who's tangled instead

Please stop pulling the strings
In the end, you're the one who's tangled instead

Refrain #1:
You got more than you asked for
now you ask for more
Why do we act like the servants
you've mistaken us for

Your lies interlocked
construct castles of sand
but now you can never
swim again

With conflicting concepts
you instate demands
but will you ever be appeased
with what you get

Makeshift hierarchy, amplified
dystrophy embed
now to us
you're dead

Refrain #2:

You're dead
and we've humoured you for far too long

You're dead
And this apathy has proven you wrong

You're dead
But when could you ever depart

You're dead
Or were you gone from the start

Pre Chorus #2
If you're strong, then it doesn't show
Cuse your energy's wasted on
trying to keep alone

If you're strong, then it doesn't show
Cuse your energy's wasted on
These lines have draped a fickle wreath

If you're strong, then it doesn't show
Cuse your energy's wasted on
trying to hold your own

If you're strong, then it doesn't show
Cuse It's nothing but a matter of choice
Your bitter heart, your bitter voice

Chorus:
Please stop pulling the strings
In the end, you're the one who's tangled instead

Please stop pulling the strings
In the end, you're the one who's tangled instead

You're the one who's tangled instead
You're the one who's tangled instead

Nothing but a matter of choice
Your bitter heart, your bitter voice

Nothing but a matter of choice
The bigger heart, you're "better than"

Nothing but a matter of choice
Your bitter heart, your bitter voice

Nothing but a matter of choice
The bigger heart you're "better than"


Dead Guilty
Verse1:
Said you came to wipe way the rust
Invite yourself on in
I've nothing to say
What of false pretenses: It goes both ways

How did I get so out of touch
when I've lived but a third of my life
Don't be so kind, I'm not who you think I am
I'm not who I think, you think I am

Chorus:
Sentimental chains are holding back
these weak legs from running away
Sentimental chains are holding back
these weak legs from running away

Am I better for it, We feared these tongues bore bayonets
Would be motives, fused atop motel beds

Verse2:
Holes were bore in the spousal door
before Ides wept
Between hived dreams, I doubt myself
and I doubt that there's anyone else

Tired eyes, tantalize
But I couldn't be anyone but you
Heed these words: <i>I'm not in control</i>
But you'd never guess once my skin goes cold

Chorus:
Sentimental chains are holding back
these weak legs from running away
Sentimental chains are holding back
these weak legs from running away

Am I better for it, We feared these tongues bore bayonets
Would be motives, fused atop motel beds

Verse3:
I've cried wolf, so many times
That you stop worrying bout' me
I've been fooled, so many times
That you start worrying bout' wolves

Refrain (part 1)
Swiped from her the sanity
in the bridges burned behind her back

And how she'd never find a static bliss
in the bed-wetting of a broken man

Tainted by the baroness
with those déja-vu afflicted hands

Swiped from her the sanity
now just an isolated mess is left

Refrain (part 2)
I've cried wolf, so many times
That you stop worrying bout' me
I've been fooled, so many times
That you start worrying bout' wolves

Refrain (part 3)[small]The way the first stanza is different, is because it is in 6/4 and not 6/3+5/1)[/small]
I've cried wolf, so many times
That you stop worrying bout' me
I've been fooled, so many times
That you start worrying bout' wolves

Your presence confines me to this bed
Your presence confines me to this bed
But I will not sleep til I am dead
You've cleared a space to rest my head

Chorus #2(Finale):
This is all simply cause and effect
He's never coming home
No, he's never coming home

What would you have me do instead
Its to late to atone
And I've been yearning so

Have a cocktail, make yourself at home
God knows a guilty soul
Swear these pills will numb your aching bones
God knows a guilty soul

Piiritus
Verse 1:
A once stable psyche
has shifted with the coming of age

It just didn't seem like you

Tempted to clean the slate
Is it the incident you wanted to taste

It just didn't seem like you
(that's all, that's all I'm saying)

Chorus:
I've spent all this time fencing impure intention
Now I've not a clue
I've not a clue
how it feels

Rest assured, the deepest of roots have been unearthed
I'm just not sure
Just not sure
I believe you

Verse 2:
Circumstance tipped the weight
Release has been sealed in the confines of you veins

Inclined in blind pursuit

Upon the shushing of a cattle's prayer
Held concrete feet just to see someone climb the fence

Wouldn't you like to
(to think after all this waiting)

Chorus:

I've spent all this time fencing impure intention
Now I've not a clue
I've not a clue
how it feels

Rest assured, the deepest of roots have been unearthed
I'm just not sure
Just not sure
I believe you

Verse 3/Refrain:
Moonlighting as bark that bore the flame
Hadn't seen a stranger in days

Moonlighting as bark that bore the flame
Hadn't seen a stranger in days

Moonlighting as bark that bore the flame
Hadn't seen a stranger in days

Moonlighting as bark that bore the flame
Hadn't seen a stranger in days

Don't pretend
I know this isn't quite what you intended
(Hadn't seen a stranger in days)

You're over your head
Will immaculate trees become the portmanteau of splinters
(Moonlighting as bark that bore the flame)

We're growing old
Now I fear these bonfire eyes have aged you
(Hadn't seen a stranger in days)

Tried to drown the pangs
But you've muted yourself instead
(Moonlighting as bark, moonlighting as bark that bore the flame)

Instead
(Hadn't seen a stranger, hadn't seen a stranger in days)

Chorus (slight variation):

I've spent all this time fencing impure intention
Now I've not a clue
I've not a clue
how it feels

Rest assured, impeached I've become inert
I'm just not sure
Just not sure
I believe you
 
Astraffairs: Anecdote...To what... To the prison you just drank... (-note- all three parts of Astraffairs may be offensive)
Verse 1:
Clear your mind
of this parasite
It seeps underneath the auger void

Temptress breaths
Soft spoken sepulchers
riddle glass rooms with limerick stones

How they speak with
rehearsed tungsten tongues
divulged in scattered ashes divulged in scattered ashes

Clear your mind
It's breading charlatans
It sports a bandoleer of old wives tales

Pre Chorus:

Discourse hand-deformed
Try the oscillating easel

Betrothed parable thorns
Try the oscillating easel

Chorus 1:
The rampart scathed
with sinners talk
When crux was paved
the idle mocked
a house you flocked

The rampart scathed
with sinners talk
When crux was paved
the idle mocked
a house you flocked

Verse 2:
I'm impure
Back-lashing cobblestone
Vizier betrayed the rictus coil

I'm impure
Encompassing prophetics
Cross out the eyes of this astral rift

Pre Chorus:
Discourse hand-deformed
Try the oscillating easel

Betrothed parable thorns
Try the oscillating easel

Chorus 1:
The rampart scathed
with sinners talk
When crux was paved
the idle mocked
a house you flocked

The rampart scathed
with sinners talk
When crux was paved
the idle mocked
a house you flocked

Refran:
This apparition
it has been sewn too long

This apparition
it has been sewn too long

This apparition
it has been sewn too long

This apparition
it has been...

The rampart scathed
with sinners talk
When crux was paved
the idle mocked
a house you flocked

Chorus 2:

How this tome flaunts specter arms
without riddle's origin sought
It razed the amnesty

Would slit eyes be convex
Cringe the sacred slate
It razed the amnesty

How this tome flaunts specter arms
without riddle's origin sought
It razed the amnesty

Would slit eyes be convex
Cringe the sacred slate
It razed the amnesty

Astraffairs: The Unremitting Crucifix
Verse 1:
He never guessed the second one
would be the first to go

Lingered with the overtone
Shrapnel from the shore

Caressed with the martyrs hand
Bleating from the rows

Know it exists when absence does
So enter the deluge

Verse 2:
House of bread for rancid jaws
Feeding us the tide

Never knew the other side
in the chasms of his heart

The fine print of this lineage
Defacing abstract droves

Defecting, both the cradles split
but it's better for me if you don't know
you don't know, you don't know, and you won't ever know

Refrain:
Always played with kerosene
Heretic, Heretic, Heretic, Heretic...

Always played with kerosene
Heretic, Heretic, Heretic, Heretic...

Always played with kerosene
Heretic, Heretic, Heretic, Heretic...

Always played with kerosene
Heretic, Heretic, Heretic, Heretic...

Chorus: (This is in a similar rhythm to the church hymn "Hail Mary")

Embracing collateral calls
Pry open the windowed door
And at the hour of debt
He bled
Yeah, he bled

Embracing collateral calls
Pry open the windowed door
And at the hour of debt
He bled
Yeah, he bled

Astraffairs: Zodiac Fixation
Part 1:
I have defected
from the anointed one

Suture the layman
atop a placeheld gun

I have defected
from the anointed one

Suture the layman
atop a placeheld gun

Part 2: Repeat 4 times
The water bearer
springs a stalk
Beneath these lines
of paradox
it splinters west

The clockwork when
immersed, repents
Beneath these lines
it circumvents
it splinters west

Ombre

Part 1:
We've been truly eclipsed
In the comfort of these ravenous bonds
I hadn't intended to tie this rope into a mess of knots

We've been truly eclipsed
Never been so blind as to write you off
Now I've almost forgotten who I was without

We've been truly eclipsed
So alike, deceptive vestibule confines
They don't matter now, nothing matters now

We've been truly eclipsed
Inferred dead run to escape the droves
They won't take us, it's all we have left

Part 2
(The lines outside the brackets decrease in tempo by 20 bpm (per repetition) while the lines in brackets stay at twice the tempo of the first line...Or thats what I say in my head at least :P):
But where can we go now
Couldn't abandon this skirmish

Where can we go now
But one day they'll forget us

Where can we go now
These seeds never flourished

Where can we go now
Catalyst ends with us

Where can we go now...


(PS. Alright, when I first wrote this, the fist sentence was "alright, cool". I didn't mean to sound like a douche who just wrote off what was just said, It just sounded different in my head than in written word.)

First thought is that it was way too hard hitting. The beat was fat but it felt alittle too quantized. But like I said...the beat is fat. Real fat.

er could you reword it so a noob would be able to understand? I don't know how quantization works or what it means in terms of music.

By fat, do you mean the same as too hard hitting? I guess I could lower the volume and maybe the reverb on the extra snares I added as well as the extra kicks.


edit; that fatness sounds good in my skull candy headphones and also my deck in my car. But Emot Hmm regularly heard would give a different result maybe

Quantize...it's making so that each note hits exactly at the given 4/8/16/32 -eeh.... damn this is so hard in english! I've studied music theory alot but I can only explain in swedish :S  Point is that it corrects any delay/humanization in recording. But it's got a tendency of making it "stiff".

I didnt think it was too fat... also, the beat kinda grew on me. First seconds I didnt like so much, then it got better. Also, you should not reference-listen in skull-candy headphones...they look cool but I can't stand them tbh!

no no, you dont need to explain in swedish now I get what you mean. I tried as close as I could to get to the 4/4 of the original. and the bpm was set exactly to the original (89.99 as seen at http://djbpmstudio.com/bpm-music-artist-a-37.html). But hmm this gives me an idea because maybe I have the album version which is actually 89.98. Still, flstudio lets you choose to the 1000th of a bpm so the last number is an unknown mystery which could be from 0-9. I will experiment and see if it makes a tiny bit of difference.

I know what you mean by skullcandy, but the hesh series, despite being not the greatest, has a good frequency output regardless. And the bass is great sounding too! The only reason I say this is because I paid 26.99 rather than 69.99 since "the source/circuit city" had a typo on the price, and I fought hard to get it at 26!

but yes thanks for the critique I will see what I can do!

I don't think any of the skullcandy phones are particularly good for monitoring purposes. Also those 'monitor-style' headphones are some kind of clever wordplay and not good for monitoring at all

I listened to a lot of Buddy Holly and Richie Valens today, so I got inspired to do a 50's style break up ballad. And then I thought it would be fun to do an 80's hardcore version of the same song right after it.

Since nobody else said anything, I really liked how "Lil Susie" sounded. You nailed the whole era/vibe thing and the vocals were spot on.

On the way to my show tonight, a friend of mine gave me a big inadvertent compliment(sorta). When a song I've been playing around with for a while came up on my mp3 player, he asked if it was a track from the new Danzig cd.

WhenYouWereCold.mp3 - 3.35MB

It's just a couple of riffs I've messed around with since '03 and some drums courtesy of my old Alesis, but it is pretty fun to wail away during the choruses - at least when I hit the notes I'm going for, of course.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
