Its my first attempt at producing a track around a vocal. This competition was open on indaba.com recently.

Dunno why it’s not embedding the player :ermm:
damn that was hot!
Can you explain what instrument you used in the beginning?
not the melody one, but more of the “chord-ish” one… Sounded like a distorted piano or something. maybe a clavinette?
I SO wanna know what instrument it was:) thanks in advance
hey man nice work, this is the first vocal track ive heard on here that i actually like, well done 
The first 30 secs of the track has 2 instruments, the heavier of which is some kind of guitar sample I think that was provided as part of the remix stems.
I also have a two-note ‘chord’ sounding stab with a fair bit of reverb on it playing off sylenth (it plays for most of the track). Its probably a preset or something as when doing remixes I don’t spend ages trying to program synths, just flick through presets til I get something close!
If it’s the synth your after I’ll check the project and let you have the patch no problem.
Fantastic track mate. really enjoyed that.
The mid range chord progression that runs constantly (more or less) and underpins the track is superb.
Thanks for the comments lads! Here is the original if anyone wants to do a comparision.

Also, if anyone is a member on indaba music please vote for us in the competition.
We know we are not going to win it as there are some serious electro entries which will probably suit the band moreso than our effort.
Cheers!
nice remix man, good production
well done
