Transitioning from being a self produced artist to a producer. Found a singer to record some tracks. Curious what you all think of his voice, and also the track.

Edit: deleted this track. Have to find a new singer. Bummer.

Nevermind. Posted this but decided I need to take another crack at it before sharing...

As you were...

Velocity Redux means The return of speed.

Another nice fragment in terms of sound design. Enough appetizers. Give us some meat!

This sounds cool man. Very sort of Abstract Hip Hop feel to it. As is it might be a bit monotonous, but of course that would be different if you had some rapping over it. It works as is, just a bit one note in terms of musical themes. I like your use of the sample and how you end the track as well b...

I like your voice (or your singer's voice). Reminds me a bit of Ice T. Lyrics and beat are dope. To my ear, this song is lacking a real hook. It sounds good, but you need to find the part that is ear wormy and sticks in the listener's head and repeat that a few times. Just my two cents. Thanks for s...

Again a nice song, beautiful piano and I like the vocals. I guess you are using Neptune for the pitch correction? So I had to google once again to think about the lyrics (which again are beautifully written). My impressions of the lyrics are: failing vs never trying, daring vs not minding dying, em...

I personally have gotten a lot of good use out of A-List Acoustic but it took a while to work through all the presets. I do think pop chords sounds better, but it includes fewer voicings than Acoustic which I thought was weird.

The Icarus Kid and the Suicide Kid both want to forget her./ Same script, different casts, now they both regret her./ Despite, des...

Very nice composition, good lyrics !

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Piano work is excellent here. Are you recording a live piano or using Radical (or something similar)? Either way it sounds really good. Thanks man. It's Reason Pianos. The sympathetic resonance when using the sustain pedal really sounds great to me, and when you use parallel compression to bring ou...

This sounds great to me. Very heavy and industrial sounding without sacrificing melody. I like the breakdown at about 1:25 and like how you bring the other elements back in. I dig the Arabian Nights vibe combined with the more modern sounds. Nice work. The mix sounds great to me, but my ears aren't ...

I like the spareness of the arrangement in the first minute or so. The combination of the synth part you have in the treble and the drum work great together. This track builds quite nicely. I also like the transition at 5:30 quite a lot. This last part has a very big sound and I like how you pare do...

I dig the sort of swingy vibe to the beat. Not enough of that in EDM in my opinion. I don't know why no one has commented on this. It's really well done. The break at around 1:25 was a little abrupt for me but that's a creative choice I think. Thanks for sharing. It sounds good. I honestly like the ...

Cool sounds and the kick really hits hard. Did you use loops for this or just sounds in the samplers? Either way it turned out well. Reminds me of the energy of Lola Rennt. I can just imagine that girl running. Not sure if you ever saw that movie. Thanks for sharing.

This is sonically interesting but to be honest it sounds a bit over busy. If you're going to have that crazy effect on the vocal I'd make some more room for it in the mix. To be honest I'd double track the voice and have one clean version in there to make the lyrics more intelligible. I couldn't rea...

Very cool drums and very evocative musical parts. This definitely has a trap vibe to it. A nice dark sound and energy. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

Once again crazy psychedelic sound design. The track is kind of all over the place, but I'm guessing you knew that. I'd like to see this channeled into a finished piece. Do it!

Very moody and evocative of that sort of dark cyberpunk world where life is cheap and blah blah blah. I like it man. This would fit right in to any sort of thriller/suspense movie. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice work. Both on the track and on the video. I don't really have any feedback. The beat/instrumentation and vocals sound great and are mixed well together. Thanks for sharing. If I wanted to give some constructive criticism, you might try on your next song to include some syncopation/variatio...

Cool chilled out vibe. Fits the video well. Kind of scattered and all over the place, like the video. Nice work.

Congratulations on becoming a Reason user and welcome to the forum. I like your track. Sounds very clean and has a lot of nuance and balance. None of the elements are overpowering but they all come through nicely. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Hey man. Been a while but it's nice to hear you're doing your thing. This isn't my favorite of your stuff, probably because I don't have the eighties nostalgia that some have. You definitely capture that vibe though and as usual your writing in a foreign language is impressive. The production sound...

This sounds great man. Very big sound and high energy. The mix sounds good to me in that it sounds very big but still has distinct parts that can be picked out. As usual you write very nice lyrics that work well in the song. I don't know enough about this kind of music to tell you who it sounds lik...

Right away I dig the beat. Reminds me of the Gorillaz. Hard for me to comment much on the lyrics since I don't speak the language but the delivery sounds clean. I wanted the lyrics to come in sooner, despite liking the beat, but that's a creative choice. Thanks for sharing.
