EDM forward!

Post by RLam » Wed Jul 13, 2016 5:55 pm

Happy to share my 2nd forward with y'all!

Really encouraging compliments from the screener as well.

The track is called "Enter The Sun" http://www.taxi.com/rlamond

Shoutouts to Burpo and Cass for the encouragement too!

ELECTRONIC DANCE INSTRUMENTAL CUES (aka EDM) are needed by a Music Supervisor-owned Music Library that’s beefing up their catalog for future Film/TV placements. Please submit engaging, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues that you’d expect to hear on a playlist with artists like Tim Berg, Nicky Romero, Steve Aoki, etc., etc., etc. Take a listen to the following references to give you a great idea of the vibe they need:


“Seek Bromance” by Tim Berg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4F6ksfBYmo

“Novell” by Nicky Romero: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZL8dVVdlBc

“Back 2 U” by Steve Aoki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNkbw5h7pOQ

Although some of the references have vocals, please submit instrumentals only for this pitch. Please submit energetic Instrumental Cues that deliver a believably authentic EDM sound, with plenty of great builds, and memorable melodic ear-candy throughout. Build your submissions around a catchy central melodic theme, and keep it interesting by layering electronic elements in and out as your piece progresses to keep it moving forward. You know the drill - build it up, break it down, build it up again, and give it a nice climactic finish!

Really nice track, RLam. That first lead is especially cool, with the transformation. I'm trying to figure out everything you did. There's a filter opening but it also sound like there's a vocoder at work. Is that an Izotope Vocal Synth effect?

Hi John, thanks for the compliments!

The vocal sounding synth, is actually a short bit of a vocal sample put it in to the EXS24 sampler in Logic and spread across the keyboard, to play like an instrument.

Ah. Thanks for sharing that. It's a cool effect and the whole track is joyous--which is just what you want when you're dancing. Great job!

Thanks TuKatz, it's greatly appreciated!

And thanks John, it's a great tool resampling vocals! What software do you use?
