Afterglow - DrvanLansberg

Hi Alex!

Thanks for your review man. Nice to see you liked the drums and chords. To be honest, I would love to make a track just like that, drums, bass and rhodes, nothing more, for about 10 minutes. But I am sure that would ask a lot from the imagination of the listeners :-). Most of the times, when I am working on a new track, I will just play 8-16 of it in a loop and listen to it for two hours. And somehow it never bores me. Also gives me a the opportunity to really feel what's going on. After that, finishing the track is childs play.

I agree that nothing really is happening in the track. That gave me the idea for the title :-).

I will have a listen to some of your tracks now.

Thanks for listening and glad you liked it.

Thanks for your feedback Modnex. I got that comment on the hiphop vibe from others too. Must be the crackle in that kick and that one snare.

Also thanks for listening. Glad you enjoyed it!

Doc

Thanks!!

Thanks TG for your comment and please accept my apologies for not replying earlier.

Thanks for the tip on the guitar. I had actually thought of the same while producing the track. The issue is that I was not able to find one that perfectly fitted (to my taste that is). Actually, don't know if you play the guitar, but you would be most welcome to try something. Let me know if you're interested in doing so.

Anyway, thanks for your great compliment!

Doc

Thanks a lot for your review BT! I am 3 months late with my reply, and I am sorry for that.

The groove is indeed what I liked best about this track myself. I was lucky I found the right kicks and snares I guess. I do agree on your comment on the mix. Actually, I had not listened to the mp3 export before, just uploaded it. It does take away just a little bit of the crispness. But I think it is the bass that makes it just a bit too full and gelly. Well observed! I'll see if I can eq it enough to make some more room.

Thanks for faving the track. Much appreciated.

Doc

Thanks for listening Wayne! You have a great ear. I indeed used two different Rhodes for the chords and the solo. Chords are more spread for atmo and the solo is more centered with tremolo. Well spot!

Let me know if you hear some room for improvement pon the mix after you 10th cup of coffee :-). Always willing to learn.

Cheers, Doc

Well, that's just too much honor Danke! :-)

If the ferryterry group would set up a fan club, I'd be their first member for sure. Always great quality samples and recording. Very easy to work with and it makes my life simple.

Funny, I also played with the idea of adding guitars, but came to the same conclusion. I did however send the track to a singer friend of mine and asked for her contribution. I think the track still has room enough for vocals, or room is easilly created.

Thanks for listening and your support!

Cheers, Doc
