Those vocorders were cheesy as heck... I might take a moment to say that this whole trance was cheesy... but that's a given if you are producing vocal trance. Not that it's a bad thing, just not something I'm a big fan of.

Something was wrong with the vocals, they seemed apart from the mix - maybe if you added reverb with touches of delay at times. Definately needed reverb that would have been a large improvement - mabye the same amount of reverb that you applied to the leads and compressed, who knows.

hey i like this... a lot.. the vocoder reminds me of the nu italo disco tracks i used to listen to in the late 90s...

can't find anything wrong with this production although the breakdown with the girl could have better pads than that one note pad... haha omg i love the way the pitch goes down on the voice and it ends in some cheesy triplet thing.

Overall the track reminds me of something DJs@work or Brooklyn Bounce would make...

Instrumentation sounds great, but the vocals reach a level of cheese even beyond Alice Deejay.

Posted by gerrycueto on Jul-19-2005 05:31:

naw i'd take the vocals over the instrumentation... plus the vocals would sound better had the autotune not been so tight.

thanks for listening

gonna add in a nice break pad instead of the cello for the break....

appreciate the comments-

peace

and don't lose that vocalist.. she's really good

Posted by djherman on Jul-20-2005 21:42:

am i the only one posting tracks with vocals...maybe this is the wrong site for that ? ?

Posted by Mr Rogers on Jul-20-2005 21:47:

I dunno man, this song is pretty good...but i really can't get past these vocals. Its a good track besides that...good energy

Posted by gerrycueto on Jul-20-2005 22:07:

naw... we like vocals... it's that this is more of an uplifting, progressive trance forum... but you posted europop vocals.. maybe thats' why people don't like it here.

Posted by djherman on Jul-20-2005 22:10:

that makes sense...i will post more progressive heavier trance next time....appreciate the advice....
are there any other sites where i could post tracks like this one with vocals ? ?

I really like the track, I agree with Gerry, the breakdown in the beginning is sort of dull, I was imagining more in it and it sounded better. This really is my style of music, I love vocal trance. Though at the new part at 53 seconds, I am curious, that new sound that breaks in, how can I recreate something like that? I really like that sound.

Posted by djherman on Jul-21-2005 18:24:

right on...
thanks

yeah...i am putting in a bigger pad in the beginning...that breakbeat in the beginning is actually a loop...i don't really like it either...i'll take the loop out and do the breakbeat by hand.....or...does anyone know where to get any good breakbeats for that part??

the lead at 0:53 is actually 8 synths layered and panned at different points using kontakt (sampler)....i also turned up the relese time and put NO reverb on that lead....

Posted by djherman on Jul-27-2005 05:04:

ok

fixed a few things for those of you who want to hear vocal trance...the rest of you don't really need to bash it again....

Hey,

I like the vocals, though every time she says trouble or sunshine I flinch cause it's slightly off tune. The composition of the synths and everything is decent, but the very main thing I must bring up is that everything except the voice sounds kinda hollow, like too much reverb is turned on or something, like the whole song's ina museum or soemthin. The breaking up of her voice and stuff's not my thing, though I like that stuff when listening to freestyle or hip hop, doesn't seem to match trance imo. Good effort and decent job

Posted by slyfoxark on Jul-27-2005 14:35:

I agree with Adaaaaaam, thats not how I typically spell it... lol. The sounds are a bit hollow, maybe you could enhance it by adding a middle voice to that 8 layer thing. I really like the effect (dont know the term for it) at about 2:30, but I think when it comes back in with that sort of airy sound, you might want to make that a bit more dynamic. Maybe you could put a changing LP filter or a flanger? Just a thought. I really love this track, good work man.

Posted by Kris Xperiment on Jul-28-2005 04:37:

hmm

Jay M's got a point, why is he always right? lol
This is a good track, I post vocal trance on here too, your not the only one. Good track, the vocals could use some delay and maybe a chorus.Lol, I love the way the vocals get slowed down, sounds like shes a robot and you blasted the shit outta her! lol.
Anyways, The ending beat is ackward, it felt like I was watching Barney the Dinosaur, it was a pretty good track.

I believe the proper term is "Fem-bot" Austin Powers... Amazing movie. Oh god Vanessa was so hot. Too bad she had to explode.

Posted by Kris Xperiment on Jul-28-2005 13:14:

Hahah, you are right, that WAS a good movie. Vanessa was hot. WOw, we're getting off topic arent we?
