Acapellas
Does anyone know of any good acapellas or tracks with good vox? I don't really have a specific tone/feel in mind. Anything, really!

I've been working on a remix of Madeon's Love You Back.
As it turns out, throwing edm and pop into a blender is pretty interesting. I know it's been done to death but the results are interesting nonetheless.Some of the elements that I borrowed from my edm experience include sidechaining for that groove; filter sweeps (I get quite a bit of mileage out of them in this track); white noise/pitch risers; LFO on the volume envelope for the drop synth; frequency-band-specific sidechaining to clean up the mix.
As for the pop side of things, I used the following: a 'muted' kick; preserved the original tempo of 106BPM; eschewed any prominent buildups (the buildup to the drop is almost nonexistent)!; simplified the chord structure (I think I use just 2 chords in the entirety of the verse and chorus); added some vocal shouts/adlibs (?)
Anyway, pretty fun week! Happy Friday y'all

I'm back again with another remix. This time it's a recently released track by one of my favorite artists (I love artists that just straight up provide the studio quality acapellas 🙏).
My hope with this track is that it isn't too electronic. I'm trying to incorporate some of the electronic music techniques I'm familiar with in what is essentially a pop track for the summer.

- Game development: Program, design, develop art, and music all by yourself for a game? That's such a huge undertaking and I'm a sucker for things with a short feedback loop so this one just died a premature death after purchasing a bunch of gamedev related stuff.
- Drawing: I gave this a fair shot, I really did! I took courses, read books on the topic, bought an iPad and other digital assets but I just don't possess the ability to translate what I see in my mind's eye to paper without resembling chicken scratches.
- Parkour: Unfortunately I discovered I'm too lanky to do a roll, or maybe just not flexible enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But fwiw, I count them as 'wins' because they helped narrow down the scope of what I was looking for by realizing all these hobbies had things in common that I did not quite jive with.

Comment on You should listen to CDs in ~music
3_3_2_LA Link ParentIt's not just you, a lot of people struggle with telling different bitrates apart. Here's a good one, for reference: http://abx.digitalfeed.net/It's not just you, a lot of people struggle with telling different bitrates apart. Here's a good one, for reference: http://abx.digitalfeed.net/
Well this isn't different in the sense that it's unique or anything, but I've always had a sort of fecund mind for music. When I was in school, I remember that moment so vividly -- I was staring out the window at a tree, somewhat listlessly, while my mind kept generating catchy melodies, and I wondered why I wasn't doing something in my life that had music as a focal point. I had my own primitive method for jotting down melodies which was admittedly, very inefficient. I still do have dreams where I hear the sweetest music I've ever heard and just before I can wake up from this half-asleep state, it fades away. Or maybe take some inspiration from our friend Dali?
Or maybe it's possible that my capacity for critically judging an idea is greatly diminished when I'm in the throes of slumber...?
