But thanks for at least trying to listen. :-)

What up now!? 13 views! Oh yeah, straight to the top!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065297.page GMT I just finished my album
What time does the music start in that clip, so I can actually listen to the music and not some lame impression?

All of the tracks are listed in the description with a button you can click on and jump right to them.

Arnold impressions are difficult to do. That's actually not me doing that. We got the studio tech drunk and made him do it.

The albums not the most upbeat so I thought a funny intro would soften the blow.

Thanks again.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065358.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065358.page GMT I just finished my album http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065370.page GMT I just finished my album http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065441.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065441.page GMT Re:I just finished my album
Have to agree with Deathreaper though, the Arnie intro just don't cut it!

I was half hoping that I could get to two pages before anyone mentioned the songs.

What did you think of the singer?

Also, if you're not a fan of hiphop listen to the song 'Sunrise, sunset' near the end. (It's marked in the more info section) It's a Jazz/big band song.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065490.page GMT I just finished my album

My thoughts exactly.


Not bad, not my cup of tea... kinda reminds me of that crazy Die Antwoord band people linked. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065895.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5065895.page GMT Re:I just finished my album ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5066123.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5066123.page GMT I just finished my album
Elena (I assume that's her singing?) is a very good singer. Love her vocals on "Mission Impossible".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5066202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5066202.page GMT I just finished my album
'Killed in moments part 2' at 15 mins
and 'Sunrise, sunset' at 37 mins

One thing I've learned. Drop the intro.

@Angels What parts wasn't I at my best? For future reference]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5067440.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5067440.page GMT I just finished my album
Singing B
Rapping C+
Drum Tracks C
Synth Tracks C-
Arnold F-
Overall C+

Summary

Sounds like a preset party as far as the drum and synth tracks go. Rapping is airy and has no bite for my taste. The singing is above average but the lyrical content is basic. I wouldn't say its a nightmare but it sure isn't a daydream at this point.

The lyrical content of the singing or the lyrical content overall?

I mostly work with samples over preset drums but I have a few deviations here and there.

I think my sampled tracks tend to be better. Did you have any opinions on them?

Thanks for you review!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5077395.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5077395.page GMT I just finished my album
Sorry I should have clarified that the lyrical content of the rapping was good and that the lyrical content of the singing was basic.

I should ask. What are you composing with? Admittedly my comment about the presets was perhaps too passionate. I have an aversion to presets because most if not all the time in my opinion they just aren't ear catching. I haven't done much sampling myself but what I'm hearing from you sounds good.

One last comment about the drum tracks. I know it would make a world of difference if the drums interacted with the vocals from you and Elena.

Most if not all of these things are completely fixable in the studio whether that be at home or with your tech guy.

My apologies for sounding harsh earlier.

Yeah the Arnie impression... not a great start, but the rest is quite listenable.

Ah... just got to track 9, uh dude, never heard of Communism huh? Nor Mother Teresa I take it.

Religion is more evil than atheism, it's all how it's used.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5079617.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5079617.page GMT I just finished my album
The main reason I use presets is that, honestly, I'm a terrible drummer/drum pattern maker.

I'm not great with melody so the singing lyrics tend to be a bit more simplistic. The studio I used to go to closed down, without giving me a heads up so I wasn't able to get my masters or even the separate tracks to remix and mix down.

So, basically, what you hear is what you're going to get. The only way to change it right now would be to re-record the entire thing again and I'd rather just record new songs for the most part than redo old ones.

it's more fun.

*Kid_Kyoto Um, I did mention Communism's relationship with religion. Did you listen to the whole song?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5084323.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/493995/5084323.page GMT
