Description : As I'm currently transitioning to Pro Tools 12 (I gave my old rig to a friend in need of it), I decided to return to my roots and write some original songs without any electronic stuff involved. This was the result. Pardon the bad quality, my laptop mic is garbage :P I do hope to get this and others on ASCAP soon and write songs that could possibly be picked up by some of the bigger players in the game. My voice isn't on point due to allergies so this is why I don't like spring anymore :P Cheers!
Description : A track I did with a friend ages ago. I play the guitar and he sang and wrote the lyrics. The lyrics came mostly from headlines in the newspaper that sunday. Recorded using a crappy old microphone direct into cubase with a few overdubs
Description : Just an acoustic/piano piece I threw together a few nights ago when coming home from university. My brother and I were doing some acoustic music together in my room, just having fun; came out with this; I immediately got on my DAW and recorded it before I forgot how ti went lol. Hoping to get some strings on it soon as well as some vocals from the bro! :P In the meantime, enjoy this instrumental.
Description : Here's a lil' acoustic instrumental I never wrote words to. Used a Guild acoustic guitar mic'd with an AKG C214 and my trusty ol' Yamaha MOX8 for other instruments (excluding shaker - that was real ;). You can find the guitar loops to this song on my profile page. Maybe one of you looperpeeps can come up with something for words on this. Otherwise, enjoy le moosic :3
Description : This is an acoustic cover of the song "Come As You Are" by David Crowder. I recorded, mixed, and mastered this one in two days! Almost done burned me out haha! Hope you enjoy!
My older brother does the lead vocals and I do everything else, from instrumentation to harmonies. No vocal-editing whatsoever in this one. The guitars were all one-take recordings. Updated the audio - I added tambourine hits in the 2nd and 3rd choruses; just helps make for a more moving song.
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Enjoy! There is a drumless version too, with completely different atmosphere : https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/181322

Description : It gives me great pleasure to upload this track I did with Richie. Usually we work "backwards", with him building a track around my vocs, but this time his instrumental came first. I love it's encouraging and motivational lyrics and as always Richie's care in making EVERYTHING perfect! :-) Totally didn't know what genre to put it in. Enjoy.
Description : NOTICE: this song is made ONLY FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. Contains an emulation of a TM legendary song (send to the original authors, i add them on Fb time ago).
This is a surprise, for those was young in 1999, for the beloved Patricia (and the gift of her voice) and my brothers Nous2 and Jamid, kind people i met here. Let's go crying guys, hope you enjoy.
Description : Working on my acoustic recording quality. What do you guys think? I'll extend this once it's closer to completion.

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...
Description : This is my attempt at the one-hour challenge for LM (finished at 57 min 48 sec). I had to mix/master on the go and this was the result. Some bad chords here and there that I did my best to conceal, one-takes on guitar and piano and used an awesome acapella from a1000times, who wrote the words that Dikaiko sang over. I really like her voice. Anyhoo yea, I like this one a lot so probably gonna come back to this in the near future. Comments welcome.
I got the acapella here: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/7656/marauder-feat-dikaiko-by-a1000times-132bpm-dance-acapella
EDIT: This track has been updated. I think I'm going to call it finished :)
Description : BEAUTIFUL guitar with pianino chords. This is sad guitar. But this guitar have a positive mood.
Description : I put this under acoustic even though I did use a couple midi tracks. I felt they sounded acoustic enough to put the track in that category. Suppose it could be chill out as well, however you want to label it, do so. I used an Indian flute and an electric guitar sounding plugin with some tremolo added along with acoustic guitar, mandolin and harmonica. Nothing too complicated here and I felt it sounded good enough to upload so enjoy!
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Had to thank once again the excellent loops to their owners - i think the result is one of my best tracks ever, plus have a slight spaghetti western like feeling which is cool ... Hope you will like it too. :)

Description : Remastered March 2023. Recorded live on two mics. For my wee daughter Tui; I wrote it sitting on the bathroom floor, keeping her company while she was in the bath....
keep it up , nice track :)
... I have no words.. I just want to listen... Perhaps that can serve as my review.. I hope you re-record this when your set up is better.. I recommend The Behringer B-2 Pro, cheap, sounds great for it's price... I love the little click click sound of the space bar at the end, I know that sound too well XD.. That was really fantastic man, I'll be keeping my eye out for it in the future..
It's exactly as the title reads, such a beautiful song. You have amazing talent, and I hope you continue to write and let the world hear.
This is absolutely great song Brado and I don't even mind about the mic quality and maybe it even suits the song
better than otherwise. All in all great singigng and instrumental accompaniment as well...Faved !:)
Compliments and respect_____Orlando
The bad mic quality makes it so much better in my opinion. I really love this one man
Wow thats really such a good track - so refreshing to hear ! I love the vocals and your key changes are sublime - nice work
TheKunig
Wow... Even this mic quality, your voice still sounds a lot better than 90% of the tracks played in the average hungarian radios. :D
Very nice one!
regards, traz
Raw, live recordings have a beauty that can't be matched by some so perfectly done with all the digital toys at our disposal now a days. It captures something special, a singer songwriter at their most vulnerable. Very nice Brado. I've been using Reaper over 2 years now and love it for recording live played instruments. It's good to get back to our roots and take a break sometimes from all the digital techniques so widely used now. Not bad for a laptop mic recording. I use my phone's voice recorder when at work to make voice or vocal samples. Piezo pickup (contact mics) for my cbgs since I don't have a very good enviroment for mic recordings.
Hey :) this is beautiful
What can i say? I really like it and i am sure that it will be a great song when you record it in better quality. but for a live played track that is recorded via laptop mic it's very nice.
Respect!
stay tuned
joe
Hi. Congratulations. ;))
Hi Brado
There is definitely an awareness to the actual 'recording outcome' being present (so to speak) otherwise you wouldn't release this, that's understood.
In other words you seem to approach the same thing again and again but from a slightly different angle this time - I saw the corresponding thread too.
I also like to think about the 'music itself' sometimes (regardless of whether it's mixed to the standards) but this one sounds really good when particulary and exclusively played on the laptop speakers (the only way in which I can play tracks from Looperman at this very moment).
I am always focusing on the high spectrum of the overall sound image and (in here) nothing is lost of an original sound substance. It seems like the speakers of laptop are entirely capable to channel those acoustic frequencies.
There are some interesting sounds in the background the moment when adjusting the microphone as well as an excellent mouse click sounds towards the end too, what can I say. I can't recall to much of an 'electronic' from you but I know you tend to color your recordings with a lot of additions.
For live recordings, you will probably need only a good microphone(s) (also you need to properly place them of course) and a simple wave-editor I believe.
I admire your songwriting skills as well as your current looperman strategy.
A.
Very nice song! The vocals are small but full when the track asks for it! You have a pleasant voice to listen to.
Have you fallen in love mate? Listening got me thinking about this friend i really like, but am over her. Damm man, you got catching feelings.
I hope your allergies clears up, anyways take care :)
Haha, during the intro I heard myself say "Oh, wow". Instant goose bumps. Simply wonderful, really. I'd love to hear a whole album of songs like these in my car when driving through the country side.
Now on the production side, I really think your song would benefit greatly from a good recording ;). Simply buy a good mic, or start saving for one. You have a great voice (it is actually the first time I listened to one of your tracks) that really deserves to be recorded with care. If you would, and the song would be released, I'd be the first one to buy it. It's beautiful.
nice song man! great singing especially the falsetto. the guitar sounds sweet. good work.
Don't have to explain this production...raw but true...:-)...much better than nowadays 'perfectly cutted' numbers...that's all...
Hats off, Danke
Hey Brado, A good song is a good song no matter what the quality issues, and this is a good one. I can't wait to hear the end results someday.
Cru
I like that chorus, it's beautiful. the song has that "hey there delilah" sound, i bet you know how to play that on the guitar :D
Good for you Brado...nothing I like better that listening to the real stuff (the production stuff will get there when you get your rig together)...its a good song and nicely delivered. I really like acoustic accompaniment myself but I can hear lots of potential for a variety of instrument/ accompaniment approaches on this one..that should be an advantage when you get it catalogued...You sing well, so a decent mic will make a big difference (in terms of quality for money I have settled on Rode mics the last couple of purchases but there are some great mid priced ones now)...anyway...well done to you....enjoyed it...keep doing it....Ed
I really enjoyed listening to this track, I think you did a great job with the singing and the lyrics.
Nice love it.
One thing though, the acapella in this song, is a low quality? Not really sure it might just be me.
