Amanda Tee - Turbulence [with Strings added]

[atee]

Hey guys, I just got myself a really old synth. No idea how to play the piano, but I fiddled with it a little and decided to add some strings to one of my songs. Let me know what you think - especially whether it makes the song better or worse.

Methinks you need something less... stringy.

More... warmth if you will, and less of that drone-ni-ness of strings.

Otherwise, I think you have got yourself a start. It sure sounds rough and quite... stiff, but like what you said, its a first, and I think that is good. I appreciate the sparseness of the synth, something I personally hard to do.

2:55, the lead was right on the dot.

I think you can do a more surround sound kind of soundscape.... I think it will work... think ambient yet there and all around kind of soundscape.

heh, i wud like the string to be slightly louder

The usual reverb/synth/found sounds use at the right time, is opening up a sonic space for the listeners. So i say, more of those synth/soundscape stuff while retaining the acoustic side as well...

while the usual acoustic with voice has got that intimate setting, the additional of space/dimension in the background will totally make the person listening, lost in time, devoid the sense of existance etc. Definitely enhanced the listening experience.

imho

were u the one who performed at esplanade 2 weeks back? Anyway,i kinda liked your song when i first listened to it.

 

[atee]

Wow, two wholly different views. Hahaha.

Shredcow: yea, I love the little flute riff as well. At least that one didn't go wrong. The multitrack program I'm using has a little problem though, and I can't use a lot of its functions (EQ, reverb etc). Think it'd sound better with. I'll play around with the panning though, see how that one goes.

Pathein: Glad you liked it, I thought it sort of helped with portraying the emotion of the song.

Shredrat: Yep, that was me! Hahaha hope you still like the song!

 

[shredrat]

yea i still and always will like the song,keep it up!

 

[atee]

Thanks!

 

[shredrat]

how long have u been playing the guitar??

 

[atee]

Hmm about 3 plus years or so!

 

[jeremyrozario]

maybe you could make the strings harmonise in maybe a major 3rd?

and maybe add a shaker(?) to the background

 

[jeremyrozario]

and i also forgot to add, nice

 

[edder]

Wow, two wholly different views. Hahaha.

Of course!

One is from the guitar shred side and the other is from the knob twiddler side.

based on your genre, who should you pay more attention to?

nice stuff.

 

[AgingYouth]

But I thought both of them like simple stuff too! :lol:

A female troubadour! Time to release that album...

 

[gsonique]

One is from the guitar shred side and the other is from the knob twiddler side.

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

open ended be the outcome!

 

[edder]
