I like the groove at 2:00, though could maybe use a little more movement/momentum after that. Might be a good place to spice it up with the piano, and maybe accentuate or even counterpoint the vocals.
Clap seems a little hard on my ears / sticks out a bit relative to the rest of the percussion. Personal taste : could do with some slight softening / blending into the mix. (Nothing more than 1-2db I'd wager...)
Some subtle flourish into the first vocal set could be cool.
Definitely dig the dark/sparkly groove at 2:05.
Seems like there isn't an apparent melodic climax or resolution...Which, isn't necessary I suppose, but it just feels like it wants to go somewhere, but doesn't inevitably arrive. With the addition of the melody pieces and lead you intend on adding, it might resolve things...
Looking forward to more! |
Hey Thanks for the feedback on that guys..
Story, great observations and yea, I did have a ghosting vox before that initial vocal because yea...it does pop out at you. Don't know why it didn't record?! I also have some chopped bits I am playing with to assist in bringing it in. I'll have to look into that sub
theterran - Thanks for that! Yea, I've been giving you guys to much a polish track compared to this one. It is in the younger stages and still kinda feeling out the composition.
The Vox is the most challenging so far as it is pulled from multiple samples of one lines and hooks. Don't know if you can tell that or not but the lyrics make no sense..lol they just are within the tonality of what I am looking for on this track. Putting them all together like a puzzle and building around that is challenging and these may very well be placeholders for the temp moment. So yes that is the reason there is no defined structure...yet
IF, you were to take the vox away, on the percussion side, has a lot of build and swing and I noticed that the clap at the beginning was yea, a bit snappy. However, go down the line as the percussion track builds, it seems to blend with no anomalies floating. It's just that beginning part that snaps a db. Might have to automate some eq on that intro.
