Happy 2025! We are having a 24 h challenge on our little Discord to produce a track with this vocal sample.
So I made this, it's mixed & mastered a bit, but on airpods pro because I am away from the studio.

I thought it would be fun to get some feedback musically or more techniqual on here.

Let me know your thoughts:)

Wow the Bass are huge !!!!! Nice track as usual
I have just been distracted at some point by I think a sub frequency around 40kz associated with another one around 200hz, creating a kind of resonating rumble. Maybe it's only me... let's see if anyone else as the same feeling.
I definitely love your sound and mood in your tracks !

Wow Matthias :) the track sounds great and is very nice to listen to, pleasant. I don't feel anything that's out of place. Perhaps the voice, starting from 1m50, could be slightly more in your face (very little, so as not to lose the intimate atmosphere that is created) but at the beginning of the song it is perfect, it is only in that moment that it gets lost a little behind. I didn't hear anything strange in the bass, but as you know I'm listening with headphones and therefore I might not hear well.

Really amazing. Everything sounds clean and pleasing, so you can soothe into the song. With the vocal I get a kind of lofi-vibe, but only in the matter of the feeling of the song and not regarding the quality, which is exceptionell.
Keep going your great work! :)

Thank you all so much, will look out for that bass resonance.

And yes Vittorio I think you are right bout that moment with the vocal. I kept it in the back a bit too much there. For now I will leave it like this because:

The vocal is the starting point, but I'm not in love with it and am going to look for a singer now to replace it:)

Agreed on the lo-fi, but it needs to become melodic deep house now haha

Cheers !!

But the voice, in my opinion, is fine, I like it. You might think about just doing a volume automation at that point where it goes back and that's it! Well done Matthias you did a great job, congratulations!

Thanks man really appreciate it! I sent it to one of my favorite singers right now, let's see if she's on board. But it's great that you can imagine this as an actual release how it is:)
