DATT STUFF - Mackit

Cool track sitting here with guitar in hand, I fell into a groove
like it was all planed...
Funny...How ideas just blow in on the wind, stay sharp and you
can grab one that works...

Solid piece of work, to bad no DL or I'd lock it down just on GP...

I really like it...

Peace...TG.

Very Nicely Laid Out... Flavourful I must say in every way...

The sidewalk patterned file, just tells me that everything is
at the same level Volume wise, much of the dynamics are lost
in that way, as well as instrumental play...

Over all cool project...

Peace...TG.

Cool track. Enjoyed the trumpet and flute...Good job!

Cheers,
Scott

Yo. This did make me smile: "Evan the smooth guitar playing MACK MAN sometimes go crazy seeking volume insted of dynamics".

The same goes for the STATIC MAN. I generally seek volume (unless it's real chill) but then have to go and pull everything down afterwards in the mix so that things don't get overloaded and become tiring for the listener. I don't do too much of mega widdling screaming lead guitar soloing rock but I'm working on an awesome track right now featuring just that.

I've made the guitar huge and intense but have to be careful mixing it so that the bass and drums and other little synth flourishes don't get lost and overwhelmed. I can't lose my backing groove otherwise the lead guitar craziness won't sound as cool.

It's just your drums that are the problem here - like you've not worked on them/it at all and just left that track sitting at the same (high) volume throughout the piece.

Good luck with your new toys. I'm guessing various new software plugins?

I shall bear with you.

THE STATIC MAN OUT.

Your versatility is showing again Mack Man...like that steady funked beat with a bit of power and the way the bass line sets it off...super guitar stuff (I`ll learn to play that tasty jazz guitar in my next life...at present I just try not to have my fingers stumble over each other.. haha)...uplifting & very cool mix that bounces right along in head-nodding fashion...and thats something we could all use more of...the hard limiting pushes the volume on this one up but I think the pumping & power work o.k.with the instrumentation & overall vibe....enjoyed this one...great job...Ed

Yo. I've just written my reply to you about my most recent uploaded track and whether it's too loud and not mastered well enough.

I have to say that my honest opinion about this one relates exactly to that topic: this does sound too loud and bright -especially those drums. The metallic highs are a bit too intrusive.

Something different from you here. None of your intricate jazz guitar (unless it's very subtle). Ah no - 2:47 and here's your guitar. Had to come in eventually.

I guess this is kind of acid jazz.

Is that main lead the trumpet? Sounds a bit more like a violin. I'm confused.

Lots of nice funky touches in this one and you can dance to it.

2:27-2:29 bass fill particularly cool and we get to hear a different tone as it goes high.

I think my main complaint is the monotony of the drums. They make it feel quite long and at that same level, it sort of gets a bit tiring. I'd like more drum variation - in what is being played and also level. Break it down a bit and build it back up. Could do with some programmed kits rather than just that loop.

All the playing's great but I feel the track can be much better with more variation in intensity, really just through changing those drums.

Feel free to disagree - that's just how I hear it and I've listened a couple of times.
