jane Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Just spent mega time agonising over my latest excursion into ~synthcore~. Happy with but DOES IT NEED VOCALS? I've picked a bunch of melody lines in my head but this genre (whatever it is) doesn't often seem to actually have vocals in it? I guess 'cos it's so naturally busy/layered: And if I ever have to perform these drums live I will scream. My calves hurt, I think I broke my big toe and the 10/8 section is a nightmare. What was I thinking Edited April 13, 2020 by jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voex Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I liked it enough without vocals, wouldn't say it needs them at all. jane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toilet Goat Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Sounds cool. If possible you should do a clip with vocals so we can hear how would it sound like jane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Metal Machine Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Don't force it, but seems like you probably want to. If so just do it! If its natural then its meant to be. jane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrove Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I don't think vocals work with this song at all, or at least I can't imagine it. There's far too much going on, and I feel the vocals would be competing with the rest of the song. If you desire vocals, you need to back off on some of the excitement coming from the synth(s) and allow something a little closer to a proper verse/chorus arrangement. So unless you plan to rework some of it, I agree with the first part of what Blue Metal Machine said: don't force it.

My good human, I don't like the sound of that at all! Blue Metal Machine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Metal Machine Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Remember vocals can be done in countless ways. If desired, start laying stuff out and you'll know if things need adjusted or not. I found sometime adding vocals doesn't mean ad too much. Maybe something basic and repetitive etc. Again, if your hearing something in your head let it out. Otherwise it may seem forced. Send something if you get somewhere with it. jane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
