Very professional production! To me it sounds just as good as contemporary artists like B. Eilish and such. Out of curisosity, would you be willing to share what synths & plugins and such you used? Eager to learn from co-musicians who obviously know what they're doing.  :)

Feedback on Finished songs / lasagna meal
Last post by mayaclars - May 23, 2025, 07:20 PM
Hi guys! Finally I created a song about lasagna! What do you think about this? :) Hope you like it!


LYRICS:

(People)
(People)
(Ha-ah)

May we never forget
The faces of our friends
How easier it will be
To know every man
Revealing yourself
By showing no proofs
You're giving yourself away

Blend with these people
Have my eyes on you
Through my telescope
The datum has been written
(Ah-ha)
Later you'll find out
What I'm about to do

Mind the manners
Differentiate each little thing
Like the stuff they carry in a purse
The lasagna meal
Ones are walking slowly
Others don't
They're running away
One call to my dumb phone
And I'm on my way

Mind the manners
Differentiate each little thing
Like the stuff they carry in a purse
(Huh) lasagna meal
Ones are walking slowly
Others don't
They're running away
One call to my dumb phone
(Chee-ka) I'm on my way

(Hah-ah, ta-ra-ah)
(Hm-mm, hm-mm)

You can go wherever far
It cannot be forever
I will see you when you're in the car
You're on the radar
Hands up!
Follow metric-based
Rational decisions
Don't waste any second on
Magical encryptions

Running, you keep running
To your darling
Your accomplice, say no
I know every corner
Of this house
Getting you
Won't take long

(Na-na-ah)
Mind the manners
Differentiate each little thing
Like the stuff they carry in a purse
The lasagna meal
(Mm! Lasagna meal!)
Ones are walking slowly
Others don't
They're running away
One call to my dumb phone
And I'm on my way

Mind the manners
Differentiate each little thing
Like the stuff they carry in a purse
(Huh) lasagna meal
Ones are walking slowly
Others don't
They're running away
One call to my dumb phone
(Chee-ka) I'm on my way

Blend with these people
Have my eyes on you
Through my telescope
The datum has been written
(Ah-ha)
Later you'll find out
What I'm about to do

(My eyes)
(My eyes)
My eyes on you
My eyes
My eyes on you
My eyes

Quote from: Dorian Urac on May 23, 2025, 07:44 AMHola Mora, sad to hear you're falling on such hard times.

Still, hearing your music again brought a smile on my face. You have such a wonderful distinctive voice. Also the music is beautifully hypnotising. Great production as always.

By the way, I remember you once made a song about vampires. The vibe of that song somehow stuck me me.

Hope your husband is getting well.

Hola @Dorian Urac
Great to re-find you here!!! and thank you very much, glad to put a smile on your lips when hearing my voice.
The vampire? Yes, I looove this one a lot, "A tender throat for lunch"


My husband is fighting like a giant, I'm one of those who believe that, in addition to medicine and its achievements, there's the power of the mind. And hisr mind, besides being brilliant, is very powerful. I'm also aware that my daily lifestyle influences him, so I must continue being his girl—impulsive, witty, and optimistic.

Thank you again for asking.

Hola @subvibe
I really like the song; it's really elegant with a solid arrangement and a very harmonious development. I love the voice, it always sounds beautiful, and when it's two, wow, how beautiful! Maybe the intro is a bit abrupt?

Nice changes into this one too!!!

Song for M

https://on.soundcloud.com/oVx4JDYeJwuAVM2z8

I also posted this maybe a year back but I have added more instruments and done more mixing and mastering. Think this is close to finished.

This compostion do not have any repeating sections hope you enjoy the song structure.

If anything I can do some adjustments to the mastering but should be ok.

Bonus if you can figure where there is a missing beat.

Song for M

And if you find it
keep it safe, stay true
it could last for life you see
love can be a sweetest thing

Just make her laugh, make her smile
if you can, and count  yourself lucky
just so good to have someone to talk to

And in your sweet eyes I see us young
children laughing and old holding hands
by the old river passing
you're with me now,
feel how good life can be

when two find together
its the sweetest commitment
you'll ever feel
it feels so good to be wanted
and still be familier
you ever notice what it means to be
just want to be with you
I just want to be with you for the longest time
just want to be with you
I just want to be with you for the longest time
Be with you, be with you, be with you

wherever you are
Ill be there for you

␈and for the longest time Ive searched for one like you
Then I finally found you, Im so glad I found you
I hope you'll stay with me

since the day we started
all my hearts been overflowing

and Ill be there
Ill stay by you, Ill be by your side
whatever comes
Ill be there
Ill stay by you, Ill be by your side
whatever comes
Its the deepest commitment
Its the strongest emotion Ive ever known

Sounds like decent 70s rock to me  :)

I hope you don't mind me giving a little bit of advice on the production. It sounds solid but the overall mix lacks some width & space. The instruments sound a bit DI. Those can benefit from a mastering treatment on the whole mix that focuses on stereo imaging and creating some air, for example with a mastering plugin like FireMaster from UnitedPlugins. But there are probably others out there that can also perform the task.

Overall, great stuff.

Cheerzzz, Dorian

Hi Ironknee. It has been a while since I was on the forum but I remember you making wonderful folk music quiet well.

As always Great Americana folk stuff. In this song, I love the soothing, gentle and warm sound of your guitar. It contrasts beautifully with your pure-from-the-heart country&western voice.

Greetzzz, Dorian

The Bar / Re: What are you listening to?
Last post by icystorm - May 22, 2025, 05:19 PM
The Romantics released Talking in Your Sleep in 1983. It reached #3 on Billboard's Hot 100 in The U.S. The track is high energy and the drums are mixed perfectly.
