Oops, sorry! Saw the link to the music, started to listen and got interrupted and then forgot all about it.
You may try to post music in the “Made with Cubase” subforum instead next time and maybe more people are in “review mode” over there?
Anyway … new try!
It’s nice music that is well thought out and meticulously recorded, with lots of parts in all directions coming together in a reasonable way. Good for you to have some creative outlet. Be proud.
“Take your love and shove it up your heart”! That’s a title!
Now …
Very nice and tidy, vocals and harmonies are so nice almost pedantic. The lead vocals could be a little more prominent in the mix but that’s personal. Since there is more reverb on the vocals than in general for the other tracks the balance of lead/backing sounds a little off.
After a few songs I started to long for some flesh and blood. It almost get anemic or antiseptic somehow akin to Kraftwerk in a happy moment. The vocals sounds a little like the singer on the Alan Parsons Project albums some buddies used to listen to in the70ies. Kind of well performed, polite and nice but not really what frontmen are made of But there are more of us out there who wish we sound like natural born singers, rest assured haha !
These song also live in a completely parallel universe to anything I’ve ever heard since they exist in a space without syncopations!?! What’s up with that? Nothing says you have to syncopate everything but this sounds like some conscious decision.
This MIDI orchestra sounds like the sounds came out of something like the Universal Sound Module that came bundled with Cubase VST32. What is your instruments if it’s not VSTi:s? Some format of Roland SoundCanvas? What’s included with Cubase Essentials, in the way of sounds? It get’s kind of static after a while, but nicely recorded.
The songs seems to be written with the safety belt on, everything with a good margin to “strange”, “odd” or “outside”. This makes it sounding a little like you’ve heard it all before. Nothing wrong with that, but when you almost can write out the chord progression as you listen it’s a little too predictable? On the other hand, coming from the other end of the spectrum, screwing everything up backwards and forwards and sideways, don’t listen to what I think haha.
First paragraph again
“It’s nice music that is well thought out and meticulously recorded, with lots of parts in all directions coming together in a reasonable way. Good for you to have some creative outlet. Be proud.”
So keep playing and be happy!
