Good night,
As always, thank you all for participating and thank you Mister Fox for organizing this competition.
Thanks to everyone for the comments and votes you have given me so far.
First, congratulations to all of you for these good songs you have presented this month.
It is interesting to see how many of you have gone towards using heavy guitars. And a lot of noise!!
On a personal level, I have learned not to use guitars. One of my colleagues said it very well: It seems that the guitar is played with a piano, and that, deep down, is totally true. My intention is that next November I will use guitars a little more appropriately.
Thank you.
I leave you comments on your works:
A Future In Noise - SantaClause
Good song. Good treatment of the initial guitars. And very good vocal interpretation and the treatment you do by doubling the voices is also interesting. But perhaps there are times when these vocal changes distract attention from the song. I like the orchestral instruments you put in the background as accompaniment, they go really well.
A song that goes really well with this month's proposal.
Elcubano – Storm's Solace
Good guitar playing. It has a lot of strength. Maybe because I'm too noisy, I like the quiet parts more when the piano plays. But it's a good piece of work. It's a good piece of work, that's why it's hard for me to tell you something to improve. Maybe the kick that accompanies the first guitars sounds too present. In the other parts I don't think so, there it sounds more natural, that it's part of the song.
R0boooo - Gotta Go but 1st
Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield immediately came to mind. Then it changes style a bit, which I wouldn't know how to classify, but it's interesting. As I listen to it I find it very original, very different. It creates a strange feeling, not a bad one. The voices you put at the beginning and end I think are not very integrated into the song. And the percussion could perhaps have a little more reverberation. The vocal effects such as breathing are also very curious. Bravo, a very different and original proposal, I liked it.
PonySho - Stringy
I admire these songs where you twist all the real instruments. I would be incapable of it. It would be impossible for me, because I neither have real instruments nor do I have the means to record them, nor would I know how to sing. Therefore, I admire you for this initiative. As you say, it is a very energetic song. Maybe this is where I could tell you that it would have been good to put some quieter part to give the listener a break.
mouse the singer - Strings Attached
I also congratulate you for taking the initiative to sing your song. I wouldn't do it as well as you. Your song has a promising beginning. But when the voice enters, I find it too distant or muted. I think it lacks presence in the mix. I also hear a strange sound, like a kind of distorted delay, I don't know how to describe it better.
VCA-089 - TwilightForest
Sound that reminds me of the 80s, as you very well say. Good sound proposal, very well worked on, as always. But this time I had a hard time connecting with your song. I have a feeling of sound saturation, there are moments that sound many layers. I'm not saying it's badly done, but to me it feels like too many things at once. But don't worry, it's just my opinion.
Paramnesia - OccamsKrz
What power. When things get lively, they almost never stop. Good guitar playing (I guess, I don't understand it). But I have to tell you that I'm not used to hearing this type of music. For me there's too much noise. I need more quiet parts to be able to enjoy your song (it's just a personal opinion, I'm not an expert, so don't pay too much attention to me).
In terms of mixing, I think everything is too compressed, too loud. But I guess that's how it has to be in this type of music.
Personally, I would also add a little reverb to the drums to make them a little distant and integrated into the mix.
OlliH - OldVinyl
You always make nice suggestions. Just starting your song puts a smile on my face. This is an original proposal of Western and Rockabilly. Very enjoyable. There are few things I can say to improve, since you surpass me at least 3 times in experience.
I don't think you sing badly at all. But maybe I think so because I've heard you do it many times. Good work
Ike_H-mope – Waiting in the Yard
A different suggestion. I don't think I'm ready to comment on your song correctly.
For me, there are vocal parts that are not in scale and the sound of the guitars also seems dissonant. But, as I told you, I guess it's me who doesn't know and doesn't know enough music to appreciate it.
You have to forgive me.
