Darek


Smoooth start. I was expecting future-ish stuff, but we go to the Darek vibes . Plucks seem to be fighting for attention with the guitar. I would more clearly decide which takes the foreground. Synth keys coming in are nice. Arp too... It is a bit crowded now.
Lovely drum roll and vocal with strings.

I would opt for giving the individual instruments a bit more space. Putting them all together I find too much. Not fan of the plasticcy piano in the end but it fits the theme. Mixwise no comments. Smooth.

Mostly expecting more from the rhythmic section here. Would love to hear it with some toms and other stuff. The hats are a bit harsh on the ears. Nice concept.

Storyteller · Smooth Operator Revisited (Work in progress, feedback appreciated)


Teaming up with Horse to make it a Horse & Knitter track instead of just Storyteller. He did the (real Fender) Rhodes and Prophet additions. Still struggling with the mix to make all elements shine. It feels a bit flat at some parts. Not yet sure what the issue is, will be adding & subtracting instruments at some point to see how to create more space.

Note to self: Need to louden the rhodes lead during 1m7s and 4m20s marks.

I would compress the rhodes piano with a medium-longish attack, it's taking up a lot of space and groove.

Smoot listening experience, nostalgic but dynamic enough to play on your emotions - well done. Some small issues (which you already notice) need to be look at but an overall effect is a clean and enjoyable work.

Cheers,

Darek

Muy Bueno!
I cant tell you how much I love the little hook that has he balearic tones in it, fucking awesome melodies throughout...
EVerything flows perfectly. I can hear what notes are coming in before you play them and they neither seem generic nor cliche even though they are not surprising me when they come, since they follow the formulas very well. the surprising part is how well the jazzy rhodes fit with the progressive hook that comes in that makes me want to smile from ear to ear.


Posted by Storyteller on Aug-07-2021 08:34:

Ow wow thank you I still haven't progressed on the earlier snippet. Holidays and stuff and want to wrap it up with mister Horse and his studio.





Another generic thing but might be worth persuing.

Edit: Pulling an MSZ here. It's gone.


Posted by TranceLover007 on Aug-15-2021 05:15:

After few days of brake I finally had couple of hours of studio time - something chill and smooth but hopefully dynamic and catchy lol

Haven't been by in awhile, hope things are well...recent tunes from the last few pages sounding good! Sounds like that Gordan100 fella been making some good progress since I've last paged through here.

Got one maybe worthy of sharing, inspiration been few and far between these days unfortunately. First time messing around with basic live vocal samples. Mostly custom sounds this time around from sylenth / spire, so that was fun/inspire'ing. Still finessing the FX in the breakdown to tie them together into something more coherent, and pondering how to end it. (Maybe as is, is fine...)

Sounds good! The ending is a little too abrupt but if you fade it out slower maybe it will be ok. Nice progression of the melody and good work on the FX.

Thanks for listening! Appreciate the feedback. Yeah, I'm not super stoked about a simple fade-out either. Though I think melodically that point is the resolution. Will think of something...

Pretty quiet over here lol - let see if someone is still around. Just as a teaser (and who knows, it may end up to be release lol)

Nice and sweet start! The Darek superstereo bass is there. Cool pads... Smoothe vibe. Seems like there is panning automation on the hats. It's too much for my liking on the headphones. Cool arp lead.

It's really the good stuff. It's just a bit too much variation with leads, so my main feedback is the same as always. I feel there might be better ways to have these leads take over more fluently.

I can copy paste Darek's text. Will probably be a release at some point. Need to find a couple of variations and I can probably ride this track out....

This is pretty funky stuff man, I really like this hybrid approach with house and Ifunk grooves blend in it but yeah, I can see why your next part could be more challenging - please let us know when you have more development in this production. So far so good for me - levels, balance, instruments/sounds selection are spot on!

Cheers,

Darek

Hi all, really cool to see this thread is still going after all these years

This is great!! very cool vibe. It just needs a lead (maybe vocal samples) or a synth lead and maybe some space like delays etc IMO

Nice to see you still producing Chris! As far as your production - not much of criticism with maybe exception of one area (which could be slightly improve in my view) - vocal. I wouldn't give you any specific suggestion on how to do that but I will let you know what I think could help you get there. Play with spreading this vocal slightly of the center - maybe even move them (occasionally or even some vocal fx or chops) from the left to the right with some increase reverb decay time. This whole this is about adding some excitement and movement to your vocal - just mu $0.04.

Cheers,

Darek

Lovely hook at the start! Sounds nice and clean!
Is this F9 piano too like my clip? (your fault I got it in the first place - that's a good thing lol).

Vocals can be a bit louder, or hihat action a bit softer. They're competing for my attention. All in all this stuff is really good.

Very well done! Great track all in all but needs that final little touch to get all out of it.


Posted by TranceLover007 on Nov-15-2021 18:30:

A little stimulations over here will help lol - My latest idea on production table - any thoughts?

Cheers,

DariusX. · New Downtempo Idea 14NOV2021


Posted by gordan100 on Nov-19-2021 19:18:

Storyteller - great stuff, really like this, super twist to house. Yeah, that piano preset is pretty similar to the one Chris is using

Chris - also very nice, liking that piano melody a lot

This is just an idea - jam

4th Dimension Club · Untitled


Been also working on this some more




Got this one too, but it's kinda.. meh
