Hello. Long time since I have posted any material of mine. Thought I would drop a preview of a track I have been working on for a while now. Probably 100 or so hand spliced edits on the two chopped vocal tracks. Haven't decided which direction I'm taking this song yet. Part of me says make it a full blown vocal track, the other half says fuck it, make it instrumental. Any suggestions?
rlly nice track! kinda daft punk style
nicely done, funky bassline, nice sound , i will try it on my sets for sure!
gooood job mate

Thank you for the kind replies. Actually on current version 8 now, just haven't updated that at all lol. I definitely had plans to bring that first bassline back into the mix, just haven't decided quite where.
a lot has been said that i wanted to already; but good work man, all your sounds hold their own in the mix. nice glitch soundscapes, good pads, bass
i find it hard, mixing two types of basslines in a track would like to hear how you handle it, will check back here i likey
cheeeers

I'd almost be more inclined to call this breaks than house, even though it's not the standard Amen. Anyway, great job on the vocal chops and in putting the sounds together, it all sounds really tight. My only complaint is that the kick doesn't seem to have much... well... kick. My sub's just sittin' there doing nothing. See if you can bring the bass up on it without killing the other sounds.
As for what to do with it... you'd be matching the sound of a lot of modern tracks if you just kept it instrumental, using the vocal glitches as a rhythmic element. If you make it a vocal track, though, you'd be appealing to a wider audience, but unless you've got a really good voice and are able to make the melody really catchy then you end up with a lower chance overall of the track actually getting played out. You either play it safe or take the risk - your call.

Hello. Your comments are most appreciated . I believe I have a decent voice but I don't think I would be making a more mainstream track by laying down vocals. I think I could probably come up with some crazy chops and skips in it, enough to make it sound entirely different from most vocal tracks. My problem with a vocal track would be writing lyrics. I'm too much of a formulaic writer with too little skill as a poet. Eh, I may end up doing a separate mix of each (vocal and instrumental), with very different feeling to the mixes.
As for dropping in two bass line rhythms; it is as easy as writing the bass lines while they play together so they create a harmony. This allows you to drop a different bass line later in the song and still keep a similar, yet different feel to the song. This is how I did it in this song anyway.
I think I heard 'm somewhere in a vst, can't put my finger on them.
