Description Ok. I admit this one is about 2 minutes too long and drawn out but I think it's a pretty decent base of rampid piano loops. It reminds me of the world and our lives spinning in constant fluctuation. Would love any feedback on how to make this better, perhaps some transition suggestions (it loses ME half way through). Does it sound disorganized?

cool
i like the orchestral bit son top and the rhythms you chose were really interesting. it might be nice if you dropped everything out for a bit and had just a piano playing something kind of pretty, and then went back to the feel you already have. i guess something melodic would be nice over the top too. if not totally melodic, then something that served the purpose of a melody in that it would evolve over the song. i don't know if that makes sense or not. it didn't lose me, but you are right in that it could use a little more development.

TracyVosh said 46 days ago
Yes
It makes complete sense...wonderful suggestions Michael! Thank you...you're right, it def needs some type of change to keep interest up. I'm gonna keep working on it.

LunaTrick said 46 days ago
Yes... interesting experiment
Some good loop manipulation - and the orchestral textures are nicely done. As Michael says - good ideas, keep working on them!

TracyVosh said 46 days ago
I will.
Thanks so much, appreciate you checking it out and commenting LunaTrick!

Interesting
Unexpected choice of drum loops - sounds like a very abstracted hip-hop track. Occurs to me that it might actually suit some kind of rapping over the top - maybe you should hunt down some of the MJ's rappers and see if they could help you out. It's a good loop-bed that could go somewhere - maybe you could try dropping a few things out at times (like michael says) and create some verse/chorus distinctions that might suit a vocal/rap - and maybe try bringing in some big hip-hop style breaks to beef it up....

Viel spas!

yo
i agree with dolby the fist thing i started to do was freestyle in my head while listening to it, it has that dark underground feel...cool shit, this is my kind of track..good mix of loops voshster

TracyVosh said 46 days ago
Yah
That would be exciting! Thank you Dolby...I think I found the break, just need to find a fitting transitional melody. You have great ideas here. Thanks again.

TracyVosh said 46 days ago
Oops and Ahhhhh
I hit the wrong reply button. Excuse me Proto and Dolby! Can't ctr/com delete these. lol

Ahhhh, thank you P - that's sweet, I'm so glad you like it! This is the one I was referring to yesterday.

VicDiesel said 46 days ago
Not bad
I think it needs this lenght because you're building up very slowly. It actually holds my attention.

But I don't like the drum part. Too soft and too dark; it kinda disappears in the mix. I would try to find something thas has more individuality.

TracyVosh said 45 days ago
Thanks
Vic. I appreciate your feedback and I can certainly punch the drums up a bit but I dono, I think the drums work and I like the dark atmosphere it lends...it's one of the things that I like about it.

Doadars Uncle said 46 days ago
Hey!
I like the syncopated parts. In fact, you could move the whole thing into a crescendo, chaotic mess, then blast back to this more organized sequence. I like the parts that surprise me!

TracyVosh said 45 days ago
Exactly
That's what I'm thinkin' too. I'm all about leading up to a surprise...and chaos, hmmmm, I can certainly entertain that idea! Thank you Uncle!

regulus said 45 days ago
I agree
with what they said.

To me some of the string parts could have be brought up a tad as you mostly have a bed for something to come along to. Great four columned bolstered kind of bed with all the draping at that. If you wand to get totally rad. How about a little synth sweeping pads and some SiFi effects not to present to spice it up some in a couple of frames.

It's a something about to happen and I don't think it's to long. Good things take a long time to perfect.

Smiles...........don't stop, your making the world a little better.

TracyVosh said 45 days ago
Thank you
You're so kind Reg! Thank you so much. You guys are giving me such terrific ideas, I haven't even scratched the surface on this one. I can't wait till I can work on it some more.

kassia said 45 days ago
cinema
This has a definite soundtrack feel to me. I love those strings - wanted them to be louder and get louder and build build build! Definitely think about Doadar's idea of building this up big into a chaotic mass - and then drop it all out to michael's idea of a melodic little piano line. THAT would be cool! And i really like the beats you chose, with that dark, deep feel. Cool stuff here. I don't think it even needs vocals, just a bit more development.

TracyVosh said 45 days ago
Crescendo
I'm loving this idea more and more. Thanks Kassia, you're awesome! I was at a loss when I posted this but you all have gotten me so pumped to go back to the drawing board on this one. Yes! Can't wait...thank you again.

Hi
this is nicely done with some unique parts put together. I am all for trying new ideas out, why not! I like to go back to tunes after a while and try to change them. The more you make, the more you listen to the tunes that you have loved all your life and listen out for what makes them work or not work! The process is just as important as the end results. If it were me, i would try to make things vary in simple ways, first. Like automation, volume and panning, adding effects changing the mood. Doing what you are doing is just fine, it all fits into place eventually. Thats why it is so good here, you get to try things out. Hope this helps.

TracyVosh said 42 days ago
That's
what I say, "Why not"? The exciting part is the developmental stages. Thanks Tokai! Of course it helps...to me, any feedback is good feedback. I appreciate you stopping by!

Good solid bed-
of sound. Split it up with a B section as others have suggested. Or, submit it as very good video game background music as it is. Really, the stuff I play could use this kind of soundtrack instead of some of the cheesy stuff they're using.

TracyVosh said 39 days ago
Wow!
What a compliment KristyJo! Thank you so much...I definitely need to take these excellent suggestions and jump back on this one asap.

lavalamp said 36 days ago
Original as hell
It could be used in a detective film. It doesn't sound disorganized at all. Soundtrack quality. It gives me "the something's gonna happen" feel.

Cool stuff,

Dave

TracyVosh said 36 days ago
Thank
you Dave! That's awesome and makes me feel oh so good, especially since I was so unsure of this one. Thanks again!!

Does have a good feel
"underground", "sneaky", words like that are fitting. This morning I visited LenGold's page and got thinking about Nitzer Ebb. They had a song on Big Hit that was one of my favorites, similar to this. I believe it was "border talk" but I'm not sure. I agree with the comment by Vic on the drums... but I also agree with you. Along with some melody modification you could consider amping up a section with more drums. Not necessarily the whole song. Those two mods could add more motion which is what I think you're looking for.

TracyVosh said 21 days ago
Thanks!
I appreciate that Chron. Yes, it's been a long time since I've heard them so I can't remember but now you've got me itchen' to go check out this song! Thank you for the ideas...I think that would really help build it up more in certain sections, I appreciate it!
