Hey people.. I kinda just started (though i had this craze for several years).. I made some music and have posted on this site.. http://www.mp3.com/acidx .. please listen to them and tell me which one is the closest to a professional mix.. I'll appreciate your time.. thanx.. hey these songs are in Urdu (Pakistani Language so ignore the lyrics..).. hehehe..
The bass and bass drum are overwhelming the rest of the music.
The first few bars of "Tum to pagal ho meri batoon ko" are really nice - well recorded, up front, and you have a really nice voice. Then when the bass and drums come in...
However, I'm not a critic, so take this with a grain of salt. Turn down the bass frequencies and try again.
I would think the Pakistani chicks would really dig your voice
I listened again - this time I rolled off from 0dB at 600Hz to -20dB at 60 Hz and it sounded 1000% better. Maybe just my primitive playback system can't take today's bass levels.
the first song on your site seemed to have some overdriven bass and drum sounds...and the vocals are placed kinda far back in the mix...not as upfront as the music. otherwise, pretty cool.
Thanx Crazydoc.. yah people like my voice but i just dont think its what i really wanted it to be.. you know not satisfied with my voice.. but i just need more practice (thats what i keep telling myself).. hehehe
hey CyanJaguar.. oh 'junoon' are da bomb.. they are one of our gods (in music).. I mean not religously but personally.. hehehe.. yah we dont have a tabla.. that would be our next step probably..
I'll tell you why the reverbs are weird.. Instead of using effects on the tracks in cakewalk (all the songs are done or mixed on cakewalk) I used the EAX effects that came with my SB Live.. and those messed em up.. Im recording a new song after collecting all the tips from HomeRecording BBS (I love them).. and I'll post it..
hey.. mixmkr.. yah the first song was 'our first song' and so it was just out of curiosity and we thought it was good.. I know things look a lot unbalanced in it and as you go down to the last song you can see our improvement.. I did not create the beat for the first song and I used a wav file (which I changed a bit to fit my original tempo (from fast to slow) ) and that effected the quality of the file PLUS the vocals were jsut a trial and we didnt do any other takes we just mixed that in the song..
thanx everybody your comments have helped me a lot..
Hey bro, I listened to "Tum to Pagal Ho Merri Batoon Ko"
What's the title translate to in English, if you don't mind? I really think that this particular song sounds pretty solid, I like all the vocal processing, sounds crisp and oh so sexy (I mean that in a wholly heterosexual kinda way) I agree that Tablas, Timbales could make this schtuff really groove. What are you using for your drums, they sound pretty decent as tehy are prolly canned.
I guess I should check out Junoon, this stuff is pretty cool and I've yet to really test "international music waters," which I think I should. Any other reccomendations??
"tum to pagal ho meri batoon ko nahein samjhee"..
means: your crazy.. you never understood what i said..
the song is cool.. all im saying in the song is that you are crazy you never understood me.. you ignored whatever i said.. but at the end i say.. oh i think im crazy that i never understood you.. i never understood love.. maybe getting what you want (love) isnt the end of love.. its not the actual love.. the real love is when you are after somethig you love.. when you are after your love.. that whole feeling is real love when you really feel the need of someone (before you actually get her/him)..
Anyway.. Our cd will be out on mp3.com/acidx soon.. so dont forget to buy it..
