Hold on... 234 revisions, for real? Wow, that sets a record...
Do you have the Stretch function on the XL? My Triton does, and it aids greatly in making anything vibey. It's probably named something else on the XL.
What's a thumb piano?
Hmmm... The track is good, but is that all there is of it? 1:06?
About the vocals: Your voice is nice, but it sounded like you weren't warmed up enough. You might try the ho-ho-ho-ho-ho exercise up and down the 5ths of every key, and do a whole lot of yawning. That'll help.
Keep it up! :)
Three things: its just the scratch vocal, so you bet I wasn't warmed up! Ho ho ho indeed!
And its only one of the verses and the bridge, so no its a bit longer like actually 5:00 minutes or just under. I wanted to make it a quick and easy download. And of course its not mixed or mastered either!!!!!!
A thumb piano is an African folk instrument, little squarish box that has a tone hole and a bunch of metal tines mounted above it. You play it by wacking it with your thumbs. I saw DJ Spooky use an electric one once at a live show.
