kakku

Only reason i started with cakewalk was that a copy of cakewalk express came with purchase of yamaha's sw60xg. It was easy to use

Nicely orchestrated as usual, and a nice listen.  To me it seems to wander too much, like it needs more of a central theme.

There's a little glitch at 0:16 and 1:27

Thanks for commenting. I think there is not too much wandering going on.  I might return to this tune later. Problem with that is I bought a new computer after making this tune and I would have to do it again on my new computer because my old computer is now very slow. I would like to make new stuff rather then fix old tunes but writer's block is my problem in this plan. I can make new stuff but I cannot get decent quality stuff done. I hope I get over this phase soon

Very good. Sounds pro in my ears 

Sounds great already so could start another project. 

Hi. Time for another kakku tune. Horns included. Not too complex. I welcome comments.

Å

I really liked this. Great melodies and well mixed

Master piece is not too far said when describing this wonderful song

This may be the first song of yours that I have given a  listen to.  Overall yeah , nice one .

Love the first time the arpeggio synth comes in . As I listen I find your tune has 2 things going on that elevate it in my mind .

1, it has a visual vibe to it , in sections I found myself placing mental images to your music .

2, Some of your melodies and parts of your songs arrangement have hinted along an Epic  type of Musical Vibe ...Thematic in Nature

I suspect that you could probably do some tweaks to your instrument choices and arrangement to flesh out a few rather nice off spring's and variations of this song .

As far as some of the other things mentioned.... the cymbals and all ....I would only consider that to be putting sprinkles on what you have here ...for some people that may be enough ...

At some point I would urge you to rerecord this song using as many real musicians as you can enlist to collab w you  ....sort of thing you do when the time is right .

The Sax , Bass , and Drum parts  played by real players w chops could easily bring your tune a number of notch s over the top .

Another thing to consider is your song could also use some rhythm gtr and drama based melodic doubling of the sax melody w guitar .. keys or both ....

Someone mentioned any vocal planed ? that person gave you good advice to consider ...

BTW  I do know my feedback may be out of reach conceptually at the moment ...we all do the best we can with what we have .

To me your tune sounds like you work alone . That is why I'm suggesting you consider my suggestions at a future date  ....

Wouldn't you want your music to represent and take on the momentum of metamorphosing  itself into a vehicle of self expression that includes becoming  a part of something much more greater than yourself ?

I know I would  ....

 

I did enjoy the listen . all the best

Kenny 

Thank you for an extra large comment post. I really don't like the tune enough to make many changes as it would take too much time and I don't have much time except on weekends and even then I think I will try to make new stuff

I think it was Yamaha sw60xg, an isa card. I thought it was great and worked like a charm

Agreed.

 

Same with the cymbal. Some rvb (like Tom suggested) would blend it in and make it more distant, and lower the volume on it. Maybe even alternate the cymbal sample with a few others to help give it a wider spectrum. I did start listening to this on my cell phone and I can tell you, I heard those cymbals above everything else. Listening at work here  on regular speakers and the cymbals wasn't as pronounced. But still a little too up front.

 

Forgot to add : Nice song.

Thank you. Maybe I will return to this bad boy(this tune) again bit later

Ah! These drums fit quite nicely. Nice tune. I liked how you strip the arrangement down in the middle, and modulate everything back in. Nice choice.

For me the reverb choice (maybe it's chorus, too) on the synths, the arpeggiated stuff, the snare, the sax . . . very nice! But the occassional cymbal crash sounds drier. Maybe a little more rvb on that cymbal? And perhaps lower the cymbal just a bit in volume? I dunno, just a niggle really. Nothing wrong as is.

 

cheers,

Thanks for the comments and tips. I gotta work with 'em drums more

Good work.  Is the sax sampled or do you play?  Is this destined for any vocals?

Thanks. It is a sampled free dsk sax. Pretty good for free vst

Hi. Time for another kakku-tune. Old but I rewrote it better I think. I hope you like it. Comments are welcome

Funny lyrics combined with excellent performances. Like Zappa reborn with an attitude 

Sublime

First I thought this is reggae. But it is perhaps some kind of hybrid production. Anyways great work here

Great stuff. Sweet guitar line after sweet guitar line jazzes and mesmerizes me and the rest lucky ones who get a chance to listen to this

Hey. I did not mean anything bad with what I said. The doll face is actually cool now that I took a better look

Hi kakku,

Great tune + love the rocking roomy drums pushing things along.

Thanks for sharing.

Good Job!

Thanks

Thanks a lot. Drums are one problem i need help with

Much thanks mate, but we know that's not always the case, right?

You are correct. I often do think so though. Now that you reminded me of that fact i feel much better about many of my tunes. Btw, where did you find that creepy doll face on your avatar

I thought the music went well with the theme of your song - very positive and upbeat vibe to it.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks. You saved my day

Have to agree the drum track does not really work with this, do you really need it? sounds to me like the Bass and other rhythm instruments are creating enough of a rhythm section.  Other than that composition up to your normal standards @kakku

Thanks for commenting. I think that the tune was a bit too prematurely put to sc and here. Also, my usual standard is not too good i think. But maybe my style is a bit unusual in these less good tunes and thus are worth  something. Dunno. I shoulda put different drums on this tune. These were drumcore's country style ones. I  also find that i need drums in my tunes. Without drums i feel  my tunes sound uncomplete unless i strive for stripped down sound. Anyway thanks for comments gentlemen

I like the melody and the chord changes in this a lot.  I don't think the beat does it justice though.   I'd opt for a more quieter one myself, but hey, It's your tune.

Thanks for the tip. Maybe i change it
