Title: New Song and Website
Post by: loretian on August 28, 2005, 08:15:40 PM
I setup a new website for my music: http://www.joethederelict.com.? (it's a work in progress, just like my music.) ? I posted a new song there, which you can also download here (http://www.joethederelict.com/music/south.mp3)

I'm trying out some new styles (yeah, there's a heavy techno influence, but also FIVE electric guitars and one accoustic guitar, so just chill out.)

All the performances, programming, mixing, writing etc. are credited to me, joe the derelict.? ?: ok:? :D

Let me know what you think, even if you hate it.

Sorry.. but I didn't like it. It's not that I don't like that kind of music.. I like the genre when it's more musical, instead of just a beat and some lyrics talked/sung on it.

Thanks man!!? I think my vocals are the biggest thing I need to keep improving.? Sometime we gotta collaborate on a song that you can do the singing on!

And Skeba, thanks for the feedback, that's cool, I understand.  There is never actually a point where it's just a beat and some vocals spoken on top (in fact, there's usually two or three instruments in addition to the bass line), but obviously it still didn't work for you.

I like it, but I don't love it. I think it would be better without that techno beat and maybey raise the volume of the the other instuments in the mix. It's cool though and since I like it even though I hate techno it must be good

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!  I am gonna increase the guitar sounds a bit, as the vocals are a bit up there right now.  I'm glad you can enjoy it even though you hate techno, that makes me very happy.

thats a pretty cool style of music you got going there.

i love the part from 3mins onwards.

cool intro.....makes me wanna dance weird with fluero sticks and take ecstacy  :hihi:

however at the beginning......the intro verse, the vocals sound out of tune. i've heard your other songs so i know you can sing........i dunno maybe its intentional or i have bad ears.

generally i fine the vocals to be just.....loud.......and dominating the song. they sound so..........cutting....i'd suggest some reverb or something or putting them further back in the mix. and you could use a vocoder in a part it'd be cool

the music is fucking awesome. my biggest problem is mostly with the vocals.......mainly because of the mix not because of your singing.

Thanks, Oddy!   : ok:  I'm glad you like the 3 minute part, cause that part was meant to fill the void left of having no guitar solo. :)

The vocals might be out of tune in the beginning, it's hard for me to tell!  I am going to resing parts of the song, and I'll just include the beginning as well and see if it helps.

I did tweak some settings on the vocals, hopefully they're a bit softer now, with a tiny bit more reverb.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
