Melodyne's no more cheating than a midi roll, or nail-gun... like it's a tool, the only question is does it help you make the thing you wanted make? 

I really love the processing on the guitars in this track, definitely delivers on the promised vibes.  Oh, and the tone on that synth voice that comes in at ~3:15... very darkwave... ♡ ～('▽^人)

Fuck yes. And congratulations. This is an epic week's worth of work. The vibe is there, the lyrics, the stalking bass and big synths and industrial percussion are all right on point, its awesome.

As someone who also chased the guitar lyrics vocals synths everything in a week madness last WB I know what a challenge that is and you should be really proud. Keep chasing that monster! (Also take a few breaks along the way lol)

And Melodyne isnt cheating its industry standard and well suited - demanded - of this genre in particular. And if you listen to the "legendary" vocalists of music you will hear them all fantastically out of tune and pitchy. Think David Bowie on Life on Mars and Blackstar. So much of that performance is the character and the words - and very little about being pitch perfect.

(I sure as hell am not!)

This was awesome! Very excited to listen to your journey down this rabbit hole

Amazing work! For the amount of things relatively new for you in a week that's more than impressive.

I want more songs in that style

Yeah a good garage rock track! I was not expecting that when clicking the track but this is cool. More guitars!

Congrats on the track, and extra kudos for recording vocals. That sounds super impossing in my book.

I could feel some NiN / Reznor vibes here. Cool delivery, also

J'adore!

Le mix guitares - deep thick synths est solide. J'aime beaucoup aussi la "minimalist" drum machine.

Et je sais a quel point c'est tough record ses propres vocals - s'écouter ensuite. Good job sur le vocal processing super compressed avec le delai (chorus?) ca marche super bien. P-être cut encore plus de low end dans les vocals pour que ca clash moins avec le reste de l'orchestration?

Anyways, solide pour le travail d'une semaine, le genre de tune qui vaudrait la peine de re-visit, polish un peu. Déjà super nice.

I seriously dig the vibe you have going here. Love the guitar and mix, great delivery and lyrics. Fantastic effort for one week - not sure what genre you have going either, but I’d listen to an album of it for sure. More please!

I really loved this song!

Very cool. Very different from the stuff I know you for.

Man, I have a similar comment than I did for last week's tune: your vocal delivery still reminds me of David Bowie! Hahahaha... The vocal melodies play a really fun counterpoint to the other voices here. Dreamy and ethereal, but also somehow heavy. Super cool combo!

Well I mean, I guess it helped a bit haha, still I need to practice more... but yeah I am using it from now on XD used it on this week's track too.

The synth at the end is Fors Chiral

Thanks for listening :3

Hey thank you so much! Yeah re: melodyne I'll take all the help I can get haha but the point of doing this is to try to improve with the singing, too... I try to not over apply the effect and to keep some of the "natural" aspect of the performance (if you want to call it that lol) so it keeps the character, I just wish my notes were a bit steadier hehe

I made a rushed one this week in the same style.

Thanks for tuning in! I'm learning hehe, I made a new song this week in the same style, should you be interested

haha yeah THE GUITAR HURTS MY FINGERS lol chu habitué à la guitare classique moi! J'ai layered un peu plus de guit sur la track cette semaine, et complètement rip off un riff hyper obscur que je crois que personne va reconnaître hehe

Hey thanks for the compliments my friend!

Ouin j'essaie lol merci ^^

Thanks a lot! Maybe one day I will re-record those properly, for now I just keep iterating for weeklybeats

The lyrics are directly linked to stuff I am going through at the moment... the knocking is more of a wishful thinking at this point =/

Hey merci! Ouais j'ai un peu mis pleins d'affaires a moitié au hasard haha, genre SSL Vocal Strip 2, Izotope VEA, probablement un LA-2A "pcque"... bon après je send sur recerb/delay aussi ... ah pis ce que tu décris c'est probablement le tape double track (ADT) built-in dans Live (trop lazy pour brancher mon Strymon Deco mais y faudrait). Je viens de rusher une troisième track dans le style cette semaine... je garde les stems (pour le guitar tone c moins facile avec les pédales hehe mais je pourrais mieux le documenter) p-e éventuellement si je chante/joue mieux je ferai des versions complètes, à suivre. LE drum c'Est juste un plugin de 606, krissement trop répétitif lol c'est litteralement juste un pattern qui loop. Cette semaine j'ai fait aaaau moins 4 patterns! haha... next time je pense p-e brancher mon TR-8S.

Thanks a lot! I'm really happy you like it! I made another this week, a bit shorter and more rushed, but maybe you'll like it too

Thanks a lot!!

Haha yeah it's... been a while! I have been trying a lot of different stuff these past years, I guess

Yo, I'll take the compliment haha it's a good vocalist to be refered to for sure ^^ I felt sometimes the guitar was a bit too busy and kinda distracted away from the lyrics, but it seems you enjoyed the interaction :3

It's been cool seeing what you're exploring I'd be a little sad if we all were locked to LSDJ and LGPT forever.

I took a page from your book in week 5. Guitar, vocals, and ableton

oof such a killer intro with those opening chords. Love how those dark synths sound with your vocals and the guitar. \m/
