Music Production Track Feedback

Hey guys,



I just recently released a preview to my first ever bootleg. Check it out on soundcloud and let me know what you think :slight_smile:

Hey man, everything sounds great apart from the ‘call me maybe’ vocal, for me it really takes away from the vibe the music gives.

They seem to conflict with each other so it doesn’t make sense, I’m not sure how to explain… perhaps as an example it’s like singing a sad song about loss sorrow over a happy jolly melody.

In this case the vocal is happy and jolly and the music is moody and dark, it sends mixed emotions that conflict with each other.



The justice vox and everything else is spot on though dude, I recon you should just take away the call me maybe vox and you’re on to something.

Hmm…that’s a fantastic point. I’m not sure why I didn’t think of the moods that the vocals themselves were putting out but it just never crossed my mind.



I could just remove “call me maybe” from the track completely but then I wouldn’t be able to remix the song haha.



Would it be possible to switch the feel of the song during the breakdown or something? That way I could reincorporate carly’s vocals and then go back to the dark feeling later on.



What do you think Roben?

Yeah I would definately do what Roben said and remove the Carly vocals. They go against the mood and the positioning is a bit poor. I like the Justice Vocals part.



Maybe it doesnt need to be a bootleg with Carly? Try someone elses vocals like maybe some old school pink floyd vocals like the no education one? I can see some Depech Mode vocals going well with it? Maybe I am just completely off with my suggestions lol :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah of course you could switch moods, perhaps going to the relative major key? What key is your track in now? The relative major is always 3 notes up the keyboard. For example if your track is in A minor, the relative major is C.



But then again… going happy to sad whilst it can work most definitely sometimes, that again can also cause confusion.



“im sad, now im happy, now im sad again? woah what’s going on here?”



Music’s all about playing with peoples emotions, just gotta think about whether it works or not.



Glad i could have been of help either way, always another way of looking at things :slight_smile:
