Description : Ummmm Weird....The piano and bass loop sucked me in and I had to do something with it. Not completely happy with the mix but I'm throwin it out there for now. Maybe a simple little vocal would 'finish' this up. Peace. BT

Definitely makes you want to lay back. Spaced out, kind of dark sounding. Has a little bit of eeriness too, the guitar is a great addition. Very chill piece man. peace

Yo again. Thanks for the praise and no need to be too humbled.

Shame you didn't say what you're actually doing on this. Playing guitar maybe? I guess bass and piano are loops you've got from somewhere.

Anyway, bass is kind of subtle in my headphones. Could probably do with being turned up at some points. Spacey long held note pad is quite loud but that's OK though I'd vary its volume at different points rather than just have it sitting at a static volume and position in the mix. Small thing but could help make this even better.

Lots of tasty guitar playing and some of those high sort of wails (eg 1:51) are great. One criticism of the guitar is that I could have done without so much space between some of the sections eg 2:00-2:26. Had to wait 26 secs to get more of that tasty playing without any extra element taking over inbetween.

This is a vibe, groove and bed of sounds that all sit very well for some grooving deep mega chill but I would prefer a change or two. Maybe even just dropping some elements out eg turning that spacey pad down at certain times. But a definite change would help too.

So, I'm asking for a bit more busyness in this and variety though what you have is absolutely fine without any changes. When I hear something good, I want it to be even better and try hard to work out what I would do differently. Not that it's my music, so you do what you like with it.

Great work...

P.S. It sounds faster than 80 BPM but tempo can be a deceptive thing. I've got different tracks at the same tempo where it sounds as if there's a 20-30 BPM difference between them.

Where to start....
Thank you for takin the time to listen and share your thoughts. It is appreciated.
Yes the piano and bass are a loop which was mentioned in the description. And the stray chord guitar is a sample that I looped. Even the tasty guitar stuff you like was loops albeit sparingly used. I played the synths myself (both the chorded pad and the part that I think you are calling the wailing guitar). It is at 80bpm and the whole track really started with the conga loop but the jazz drum groove is at 160bpm.
This is not the finished track by any means and I was very deliberate in leaving large spaces for others to work with.
I've got a few instrumental ideas of my own as well for filling the gaps in the event i don't get a vocal.
This seemed like a great opportunity to work within the looperman community as opposed to just posting tracks and taking loops.
I really appreciate this site as a resource and a place of fellowship.
Music producers are a different breed and finding people to share production ideas with in the real world is tough sometimes.
Again I really appreciate the time you have taken and thank you for your input.
Peace

Yes, yes, yes.

This is damn cool and deeply chilled with my kind of laid back cymbal-led jazz groove plus extra percussion. Nice tinkly piano on top and some good, emotional chords.

Cool guitar later on too.

I'm busy now but will return later to give a fair bit of additional detail.

Hey,

sound really nice, maybe an idea to add the bmp if u want colab??
if posible i would look for a atmospherical female vocal, that u can sample / fade in and out of percussive use.

Keep up the good work and i'm looking forward to hear the new version;)

peace and love

Description : Peace
Peace is something I haven't felt in a while.
Im not talking about the small moments where you feel peaceful.

Im talking about being at Peace. The kind where you sit in the rain/snow, and just...lay there. In the moment where you accept yourself..
