I'm trying a new method of working... finish tracks as fast as I can. This is about two hours work. I should be weeding the garden, but I hate gardening.

 

is that house?

 

Is that your comment?

 

Is the track invalidated if incorrectly pigeon-holed?

 

if this was an attempt to make a house track, it failed completely. if instead you wanted to create a cheesy pop-lounge song, well maybe you succeeded although I didn't like it. On your soundcloud there are definitely more interesting things: Process 1/2/3/4/5

 

Thank you for your letting me know I failed completely.

 

I'm impressed with the accomplishments within that time frame. How did you lock the vocals in 2 hours though? Very cool Sade/Sweetback vibe. This needs to be recorded to cassette for full effect.

 

I am weeding the garden right now. Should rather be producing huh??

I like the vocals and vibe. I see the "housyness" opposed to recycle.

The mix is good. I would indeed like it to be a less cheesy though. I dont know. Just a feeling.

For just two hours of work a lot is done.

 

Two hours??? Braggart.

I need ten times as much time just for the drum sound.

 

downtempo lounge, not house at all

 

I apologise for causing such offence by labelling my track incorrectly. I didn't know it was such a contentious issue. I couldn't identify the difference between trap and drill or any hip hop if you tied me to a chair and forced me to listen to it for hours. Perhaps you might forgive me for I was born in 1958 and I am ignorant of current trends. What you describe as cheesy is simply what I would call a "hook" and hooks anchor a song. They make it memorable. Recycles comments were, I feel, unnecessarily harsh. If he has access to my Soundcloud page, as he clearly does, then he would see this track is simply a part of a collective of very diverse songs. I embrace all styles of music and I always hope this community accepts that everything I do is part of a larger whole and such derogatory negativity has had the effect whereby, I have lost touch with the creative flow that I was enjoying over the last weeks.

 

How? 20 years of working in Logic. Cut, slice, stretch. Move on... next!

 

Sorry to hear that the feedback upon this thread has not been inspiring for you.

You are not a "little me" that gets poor things done onto. Ultimately whether "negative" comments keep you down in any way is your own choice. Do not make anyone responsible for your recent decline in creative flow.

 

Completely unacceptable this is.

Don't let the petty-minded comments drag you down.

 

Brilliant sound.Sell this man.Much better than 90% of the commercial @#$%.

 

This is much better than a lot of things we are used to listen here just as a matter of courtesy.
And for the style or genre for me this is just good dance music.

 

Yeah Its nice.
Its got that 80's polished sound..which is what recycle referred to as cheesy
it could easily be "modernised" by changing the soundz no big deal
nice one mate
cheers

 

First song i listened to more than twice on this forum.

In a second hearing seems like the electric piano in the intro is a little out of sync. And the sax solo is great.

More sort of Bungalow with a hint of penthouse really.

I felt the rhodes, bass and drums are getting a bit clumpy on my monitors and there's too much plate and not enough random space in the reverb, but hey, that's just taste innit. Well bonza bit of work all around.
