<Pony><WIP> Giggle At the Ghostly. Should I continue?

Postby Dabrenn » 13 Jan 2013 04:07

Hey guys. I made this last night because I had trouble sleeping in a storm. This is very very WIP and I'm wondering what you guys think of it and if you think its worth continuing in order to flesh it out into finished product. Right now its pretty sloppy, but you can get an idea of what the final could potentially sound like. If so, please critique and offer any and all advice, including brutal honesty.

Thank you so much for the listen!

I love everything up until the vocals, the percussion at the beginning in particular is amazing. The vocals either need to be worked on, or taken out. With the way they are right now the song would be better without them, especially the part at 3:05. The glitch after that is kinda cool though, so maybe you could try glitching up the vocals.

Great track though, it has a ton of potential, make sure you post the final version here if you decide to continue with it, I want to hear it! =D

Thank you so much! I always enjoy making those little percussion fills heh.

Definitely do need some work. I have almost no experience working with vocals (or long audio clips for that matter -_-) and I'm hoping I can get them to sound better. The whole thing was made in about ~4 hours so it is very very sloppy.

you could try glitching up the vocals.


I'll work on this. I really want to retain the vocals if I possibly can. If you have any other tips for fixing them up I would love to hear them; if not that's totally fine too haha =D

Great track though, it has a ton of potential, make sure you post the final version here if you decide to continue with it, I want to hear it! =D


Thank you. Hearing that really makes me feel better about this one. I was really on the wall about it.

Basically everything Flatflish/Feesh/Conduit (wtf names) said. The vocals make it, frankly, hard to listen to. At some points it sounds like you just threw them onto a chord progression as opposed to making them work with it or vice versa. If you want to keep the vocals, you're either going to want to pitch them a bit or work on your chord progression because they sometimes clash like they're in different keys.

This is actually very close to what I did do. <.< >.>

You're right here. The vocals are not tuned and there are a lot places they are out of key. Unfortunately I have a pretty bad ear so I guess I'll just have to get Melodyne to do it for me if I can ever figure out how the damn thing works.

Maybe I should just cut them. I'll mess with them and post something again and see how it goes. There were some places I really liked when the vocals were a little bit off-beat and out of tune though, gave it almost an atonal trap feel (not the chorus though, that part is really bad, i got lazy with it). Guess its just me then.

Thanks for feedback for sure though!
