It’s been surprising to me how many virtual instruments that begin as a perfect midi note, after rendering if I open them in melodyne the pitch is off and then sounds right if I correct it. I guess I expected midi to virtual instrument would be perfect. Then came melodyne. Yeah you probably hit a sweet spot blending the tracks.

If it blends in and sounds good that’s the main thing. I’m wondering why when you melodyned the vocal/low piano track, assuming that’s what you did, why didn’t you tune the piano when you tuned the vocals?

I like that an aux track can be placed right under the track it’s receiving.

Pleasant instrumental. Relaxing. Maybe just soften the incoming change a little as Nigel said just to make it smoother. Enjoyed it. Pretty sounds.

I think Im hearing a lot of resonances in the guitar only parts. Nice panning setting up the way in. Good guitar stuff. The vocals are pretty wavy so I wasn’t understanding them but they have a vibe. I like the chaotic-ness that comes in. I like the contrasting parts. Definitely has character. Enjoyed it.

I like it, I like your voice. I was going to suggest strings, but then some came in i think. I would add some high strings, add another verse to make it longer if you have more to say. Enjoyed it.

The flute is lovely but a bit ominous too. The harp delicate but with anxiety. It does give a prelude vibe. Interesting. Did you redo it or this is straight from x-1?

Very moody. Emotional with some drive popping in now and then. Rich layering. Intriguing. The mix is a bit mid heavy. Some sparkle and bass emphasis might broaden the atmosphere. Good work !

Enjoyed it. Love the guitar. Good song, lyrics and mood. I think the vocalist has a good voice, but I'm not sure the way it is processed is enhancing it. Not sure what to say about that, just maybe less fx and more natural/dry in there ? I expect there are some good rich intonations in his voice that I would like to hear. I just think his voice could be presented better. Just my 2 cents!

Good job on your version. Its a great song to begin with and you did very well with your version. Enjoyed the read too.

Sounds great. I was particularly drawn to the drums on this one. Interesting vocals and guitars. Good stuff !

I’ve used melodyne a lot for many reasons both corrective and creatively, and I have tried to clean up things with it. Sometimes it does well, other times a blob I delete that I believe to be noise or something unappealing- when I delete that blob it dramatically and undesirably changes the sound of what I’m trying to improve. It works best for simpler things, but say a guitar with reverb the array of blobs is widespread and deleting one can make unwelcome changes. Rich material produces complex blob material that may or may not be helpful to use for cleaning up tasks.

If you upload it somewhere and post a link maybe someone here with newer capabilities could try to clean it up for you. With both screeching and roaring it seems like it could be challenging. Simple stems can separate out different parts but the results aren’t always very clean. Like you say bells and voices are similar too. Anyways maybe someone here could help you out.

I would try searching for wav files that may have survived somewhere that could be used to reconstruct any of the lost project. Worth a try anyways

Musically and visually very well done! Great stuff all around. And of course supporting the women killing it !

Well smooth and sensual it is. Your style is a good place to slip back to, always well done. But I get wanting to try new things too. Both are good directions. I might smooth out the ending make it a little more gradual. Sounds great !

Nice vibe, wonderful guitar works, mix is great to me. I know what you mean about strange problems! Having some in my current project. Kinda makes you want to just get it done before things get worse !

Smooth and romantic. I think some bass and maybe strings wound enrich it if you want to add other instruments. Simple is good too, it accentuates your nice singing.

Great tune, quite cheery for the subject matter ha. The mix sounds good. Enjoyed it. ps I couldnt possibly do any song of any sort without melodyne, its an amazing creative tool in addition to fixing things

One of those reggae songs that is up and lighthearted. Nice bass tone. Some of the instruments are close in tone so some more separation might have made them stand out more individually. You got the dub part down good. Good reverb/delay use. I think you did good with the song, reggae is not as easy to make as it might seem. Nice to hear some reggae on the song forum, thanks for posting it.

Hi Makke, thank you for listening and your comment. I'm glad to know you found a joyful ambience and good sounds ! Appreciate it

Tribal dystopian industrial rhythmic spacey gnarly and sensitive, good work !

Hi Fletch, thanks for posting your videos ! They are well done and interesting. Some of the things I found interesting are the variety in the vocals, their styles and delivery and moods, the synths and having both male and female singers. The changes in the songs really can switch moods too, like scenes in an opera, but all passionate. I think Dissonant Whispers is my favorite. As far as any suggestions, just one minor one really, the female vocal in the early part of Monachopsis seems like a different space from the rest of the song (I got this comment once ha), and the backing vocals could be a bit thicker and richer when they are used (I love playing with backing vocals so I would just play with them more). They could be more haunting. Good luck with all your projects!

Hi Steve, thank you for listening and your feedback. What you did add wasn't nothing because it made me smile to know my song/video made you feel happy. I don't think I've ever made a song that was experienced as fun and happy like the comments are saying for this one, and thats special to me. You're welcome !

Sounds great. Thanks for posting the lyrics although they are clear. I like the sort of choppy feeling then contrasting other parts that roll along. And the changes in the vocals, keeps it interesting.
