RE: Music Collaboration #1 with @Soundlegion

in #soundlegion7 years ago

very very cool! The instrumental is gorgeous here production very nice! I am highly impressed with the swag on this. I would like to hear more about the production of this piece and all you did here. I Think the timing on the vocals is set perfectly and key fantastic fantastic you get the basics gold star there and you wouldnt believe how many people fail that. lol but perfection here!! I think the vocal effects and volume on the layers could be expanded played with differently or a little more... not sure there yet, i need like dozen listens on this.. feeling the swag here nicely

Thanks so much!
The first thing I did was figure out the key signature, chord structure, and exact meter/tempo.

Once this was done I started exploring ideas starting out with heavy rock guitar playing. I put that to bed really quickly, opting for a more punchy groove feel.

I began with drums and bass. Once I felt that I had a groove and feel that was worthy of this cool lyric I was able to expand on the theme and tried to create some overall dynamics by having each section build slowly. For example, rather than have all three vocals present in each bar I start out with one vocal, add a second and finish up each section with the third. Also of note is how each vocal has a single refined effect.

The main vocal has just a touch of Medium Hall Reverb (16%). The second vocal track has a Dynamic Delay with feedback set at 39%. The third vocal track has a Chorus effect with the rate set at 1hz and the depth at at 8.78ms.
I really didn't want to kill your great singing by juicing the crap out of each track.

The intro section is just a paint can, a shaker, and a tambourine.
This is followed by the bass and drums with the percussion instruments fading out. Next is a piano line, followed by horns, and then wrapped up with by a Guitar with a talk box for the last couple of lines.

I'll certainly take a look at the vocal effects and volume and try expanding on them a little more. Really appreciate your feed back, and thanks for singing, you do a much better job than I do.

Killed it brotha. Very cool groove going on! Really added momentum to the vocals and vibe!

Thank you Brother J
