Carribean Cue
Hi all,
This is my pitch for a Carribaen Cue Dispatch listing D190629CB
CARIBBEAN INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a U.K.-based Music Library that loves music from TAXI Members! They've signed a lot of our members and now they’re looking for a bunch of Mid-To-Up-Tempo Caribbean Cues in the stylistic range of the references below:
Island Reggae Music | Jamaican Beach
Caribbean Music Instrumental - Coral Reef
Chill Out Reggae Island Music
Please submit well-composed Instrumental Cues that evoke an authentic, Caribbean sound and a tropical island vibe. Create your Cue with bright melodies and rhythmic drum patterns, similar to what's often heard in this genre.
Working on the mix, should I add a flute on the melody?

Thx for your input and comments
Pierre

Thx again Tom, I know what you mean, this has since been corrected by Izotope...CTWF wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 1:50 pmHi Pierre,
I don't know this genre, but listened anyway...My immediate impression was that the bass that starts at 0:03 is too boomy (too dominant?) which might be caused by too much reverb. I have no clue what the references sound like, but that was what I thought/felt. It definitely has a chill feel to it, but that bass sometimes gets in the way of it. The end is cut off (reverb tail). Other than that, I better do not comment for lack of knowledge of the genre!
Tom
See you at the Rally?

Re: Carribean Cue
Not sure if I would add a flute or not. I'd probably concentrate on the bed tracks before adding more layers.
- The bass is a great line, but feels to me like it could use some variations, nothing crazy, but my best recollections of reggae is that there's a bit of freedom within a motif for the bass parts
- The drums feel like they could use more life and punch. The rolls that start at about :28sec and appear in multiple places are an example. They're really high pitched and really soft; are they timbales or rack toms or?
I'm shooting from the hip for both of the items above. Having a reference track to compare with would be super helpful.
Cool piece with a nice light vibe. I think you're in the zone but maybe take a look at some references and use them to guide your next steps.

Re: Carribean Cue
Hello I like the song in fact I sort of see what Tom was talking about with the Bass line but, I believe I know what you were going for . That Reggae whoooy bass.
I wish I could also say I was going to the Rally. Can't make it new job

That's my pitch... no flute, but cheap organ, and cheap wahwah guitar... that's what I felt...
There are no Timbales, it's a Dumbek...
In any case... it is already sent...
But will keep for future reference.
See ya' man!
Pierre

Re: Carribean Cue
Many thx man! Reggae is ALL about the bass line, mostly...
Which I had Peter Tosh or Bob Marley to help on this!
See you later man!
All the best for your new job.
Pierre.
