No Trains Home (feat. Hatsune Miku)

By Judgement Act on February 16, 2020 1:19 pm

Seems like Sunday evening is becoming the point at which I give up on what I was working on and decide to do something experimental instead! This time I wanted to focus on some vaguely interesting sounding vocals, so I pulled some acoustic guitar loops from Splice and just wrote vocals on top of them. Tried to go with that singer/songwriter feel, but this kind of music is way out of my comfort zone so it's a bit dry. Love how Miku (sweet ver.) sounds here though!

The lyrics are basically just pseudo-emotional bullshit about a broken relationship. Wrapped up in train references because duh.

I'd say its a pretty successful singer/song writer attempt. I especially liked the bits where the vocal inflections matched what the guitar played, something an actual guitar player would do since its hard to sing a melody while playing completely different rhythms. Plus an acoustic singer/song writer writer will often write with their guitar parts and vocal lines in tandum, often often resulting in them matching the rhythm and melody or creating a chord tone between the two (Major chord on guitar, hitting the 7th with their voice to make a Major 7). So yeah, good job ^_^

Really nice job with the vocals, beautiful sound. I like how well they tie together with the guitar's melody. Super relaxing, especially the second half with the Ahhs.

Nice work dude! I really love the arrangement in the second half.

Well that's different. Really nailed the aesthetic and sounds great. How'd you do the guitars, live?

February 17, 2020 4:19 pm

The guitar sounds fantastic. You nailed the singer/songwriter vibe.

Great acoustic track! The vocal mixing sounds good too. What effects do you usually put on the vocals?

February 17, 2020 8:06 pm

This turned out great! The train + miku combo theme is absolutely choice, really enjoying these tunes.

Pretty much a memorable OVA ending credits track right here

Solid work on those vocals. Never realized softer / sparser instrumentation could work so well with a vocaloid-type sound. Great melody too!

February 20, 2020 12:25 pm

I'm not typically into vocaloid stuff but that was great. Great loop selection and great mixing. Definite end credits vibe.

i like the overall weirdness of this song

This is *really* nice stuff. I'd love to hear this more glitched out, but for what you set out to do it's freakin' perfect.

Thanks! Admittedly a part of that was laziness in coming up with a good rhythm, but it felt right!

Thanks! They're loops from Splice I stumbled across.

Thanks! Nothing notable on the vocals, bit of EQ on the mids, reverb to taste, and of course hit that Soundgoodizer Preset A!

Glad I caught this track on songs to click on. A nice laid back change to the 'norm'. Hehe.
