so your boys been writing sentimental songs and working with vocalists :

[Complexion]

Damn!

I can Bella do that!

I have dope melodies in my head that I always regret not voice recording... Especially right before drifting off to sleep.

I always tell myself "ill remember it later "

That's a damn lie.

The state in between awake and sleep should be leveraged by all creatives because its literally beyond this world and it creates inspiration in the sense that breath aka spirit flows in and thats a there and then only deal. You simply can't recall it later because its so ephemeral. I'll make a video with a few of my techniques at some point.





MJ used to keep Dictaphones scattered all around his home to capture ideas the moment they flew threw his awareness which is why he said he didn't feel correct taking credit as its not like he sat there and thought about writing them out. They filtered through his consciousness and dropped into the world fully formed. Exactly the same as Pac who just plucked classics out of the air, 4 verses, 15 minutes, no typos or rewrites.




Study the greats to become greater. There is a common form that runs through legends and if you can see it them you can find it in Self.

Like I said previously music is spiritual and the key to it all is getting out of your own way and overthinking kills the vibe. The same can be said about all of life really, if you think about it...

Oh snap! This is deep! Thanks!

 

[BlackDiBiase]

I gotcha , ill throw you in the credits.

dope.

i got message from a vocalist, but i have been getting ghosted by some i dont know what i am doing wrong. any way the vocalist sent me this below :

Hi xxx,
I’d like to sing if my voice is suitable for your track(s).

I have a strong Alto voice, belt in D5 and can sing till A5 by head voice.

I can sing all genres (except RnB & HipHop…etc.)
But actually my voice is sparkling when I’m singing Jazz and Soul.

I don’t know, What kind of voice you’re looking for?

If you think that I can be a suitable, I’d like to send my sample audios to you.


Can you please share your email address or phone number with me?
I can send them via email or whatsapp, if it’s possible for you too.

waiting for your reply when you’re available.
have a nice weekend.

i immediately hit him/her back ... then they sent me :

Hi xxx,
Sorry I saw your email now.

I can record them, all seems clear for now.
I saved your phone number also. If I have to ask something, I'll write to you via whatsapp.

But the problem is, if it's not very urgent for you, Can I record it on Monday?
Tomorrow, I mean today (Sunday), I'll be on flight all day.
I'm preparing my luggage now.

If it suits you too, I'd like to record it on Monday.

waiting for your reply when you're available.


have a nice Sunday.

off the interaction below :

hi good afternoon i hope all is well. that is great but you could record these songs on your phone acapella or mic mp3, and i can pay you for this.

the first reference track is called "Juliette". and after this song i hope we can record more and i can also send you the finished article as well as payment. thank you so much.



^ this is missing the first verse, so i recorded all 3 verses and chorus below but i am not a singer ... but thats the rhythm and also i left the lyrics below :



Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada

I will dance if you see me, in light or dark Im easy
I will step all so freely, little foxtrot or maybe shimmey
if it leads to you observing, all the moves i've known is urgent
cant you see the disco ball is,
only spinning because me and you are loving
if you knew why the stars were shining
you'd ask i dont move so we'd be thankful
because its for me and you, and when we're loving
and i will dance for you, as the worlds revolving ....

Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada

Into the movies we could go, take a stroll down any lovers road
I could even ask dorothy, if she'd add a wish for you and me,
and even if its no, i know another wizard
theres many places we'll be welcomed, through sun rain storms and even blizzards
so at least you sure, when i hold you its much more than warmth through the winter
all the stories unfold
but the only chapter that matters, is this Mrs and her Mr

Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada

Any restaurant a meal for two, and of course all the specials
but do what you'll like to do, well until the indigestion
and i hope you don't this groove,
i begged it was played to answer all the questions,
what do i intend by you, and any sort of plans for progression
little did you know this tune, is the anthem from a bridefull nation
that and my words aren't so cool, but the attempt is like an eskimo vacation
but im glad to be home soon, id really love to be a groom,
the duet with juliet

Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada
Juliet, dadadada dada dadadada dada

i will leave this as the coli-unofficial-thread for sound based creativity and writing and what not.

props.

for sure bro! and props for the video.

i dont see how these modern artists write in a room full of people and stuff, its a sacred/delicate thing you are doing. not to be nonchalant with it and etc.

 

[BlackDiBiase]

going to get some new recordings hopefully before evening (got sent message from this new broad) :

Hi xxx
This is xxx,
Yesterday I couldn't check the song clearly because of the flight.
but I just opened the records 1 hour ago which you sent me.
The woman voice record is clearer, but some of the parts I still cannot understand the tempo, the melody.

If you can send me the audio of the track, or music sheet, I can understand more.
For example, generally I understand the melody but the tempo seems a little bit complicated if I listen to just voices.
Can you please send me the audio of the track, if it's possible?

And one more question,
Can I record them part by part? I mean Verse1, Verse 2, Chorus 1, Chorus 2...etc.?
I'd like to send you splitted audio(s), if it's suitable for you too.

waiting for your reply when you're available,
Thank you very much.
have a nice night.

just throwing coin at it, trying to get a database of my songs recorded.

make it much easier then to utilize them for whatever project or might want to babe ruth the whole thing, and sign up vocalist.

 

[KBtheKey]

Man if had access to my og PC i would run yo references and send that shyt back sounding like (CDQ), just kuz it was sumn to do.

Just keep practicing tho. I used to think i couldn't sing or hit any surprising notes until i realized i could when singing along to what i was listening to. Sometimes a male's voice just can't capture the tone of the experience, and sometimes you can finesse your vocals either while speaking or during mixing to where it won't matter.

Lost all my old projects when i was just jumping into r&b because my dumb ass ain't think to save to a flash drive or external hard drive. All i got left is tracks i labeled as "rehearsal" and the original lyrics. Could've been worse, but i was already in the process of mixing a whole tape/EP

That's all it takes. And it's also therapeutic when it's something you truly enjoy doing

yep yep, i said that too.

 

[Eternally Jaded]

This is a dope thread.

Me, I've been brainstorming ditties for the last few years, and I got a few that are basically near finished products with melodies downpat but.....

I can't play any instruments.

I can write a viable sounding ditty within minutes but the arrangement part is my holdup.

Right now my funds are super low or else I'd be all over fiverr having people mix and master everything I've done so far.

I even wrote a few pieces that would work in the Game of Thrones universe.

The crazy thing about the creative is that what you can do almost always feels negligent vs what you currently can't.

People who can make beats but struggle with lyrics and melody.

People who can write crazy but can't arrange it musically.

But when they come together, magic happens.

lol @ ditty. thats dope.

things will work out. if you got those songs in your head or somewhere you never know who you will come across that can light that up for you.

and with this day and age we can do a lot without being in the same room, just mp3 and wav formats sending and mixing. at least for like reference tracks or something else suitable.

anyway goodluck bro, props.

 

[BlackDiBiase]

^ thats the beat i am going with i cooked it up with them strings, thats the one with dadadada in the background.



^ this ones without the dadadada in the background.

still not mixed right but thats the gist of my first step to becoming Berry Gordy.

 

[BlackDiBiase]

this is the other vocalist, as you will hear it was a pretty easy choice and this chick kind of wasted my hours man.



she had heart though.
