jwnicholson78 216 Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) I Just got back from our summer vacation. For the past few years, I have tried to write a small song while on vacation, and see if I can finish it before the end of the week. Whatever gets done, gets done. I usually get up early to work on it for an hour or so before heading out for sightseeing and the like. This was made almost entirely on my Android tablet using FL Studio Mobile, with just a little bit of mastering with Ozone 9 in Cakewalk when I got home. The photos are from various places we visited. Comments, critiques and suggestions for improvement are always welcome. Jeff Edited July 9, 2022 by jwnicholson78 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwnicholson78 216 Posted July 9, 2022 Updated 7-9: I adjusted the mix to bring out the bass a little more and changed the arrangement slightly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeeringAmps 2,062 Posted July 10, 2022 Spent a lovely week on the Outer Banks once. My wife is what I refer to as a “horse girl “ so much time was spent pursuing the indigenous ponies. IIRC one did not walk barefoot to the sand as the paths were loaded with what her Auntie referred to as “foot-fers”! t 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife booked a tour, but she miscounted and turned out we were short a space when we went to the tour company. So I took one for the team and went back to the house while everyone else went to see the horses, but at least they took some good pictures. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

musekamp 27 Posted July 15, 2022 Nice track and video! You definitely convey a summer holiday vibe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhonoBrainer 2,000 Posted July 16, 2022 Good one! I've never been there but feel as if I had. I could see why you brought the bass up a bit, and for my ears it could do with just a hair more low end but that's just me. Pretty impressive, being done on the Android tablet, bet you had that thing maxxed! cheers, -Tom, who travels infrequently, unless we're counting mental walkabouts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, it could still use a little more low end. The tablet did pretty well all things considered, especially considering most of the synths were doubled or tripled. FL Studio Mobile is pretty efficient, and the best $15 bucks I ever spent on an Android app. It's fun to noodle around with on long flights, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 1,151 Posted July 17, 2022 Hi Jeff. I think "summer vacation" is a music genre isn't it? This one certainly has that carefree feel to it. Nice blending of images with the music. -Bjorn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freddy j 715 Posted July 21, 2022 The music certainly conveys summer fun. The pictures made me feel as if I too were on holiday. Well done indeed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
