Hello there Quaiott! Happy to hear that you liked my 2 part alt-rock song. I haven't made any new songs in several years, but want to get back to it soon. Thanks again for listening.

Hello there Allen,

Still exploring eh? Cool. I am at work now. Glad you liked the 'Guitar Hero's' tune. It was a fun one to make. To get the best sound and distinguishable notes, you have to pretty much make duplicate tracks of your instruments.

One track would be sent hard left and the other hard right. Mixing the 2 is called layering...to get a nice full sound. On one track you can keep it dry...meaning no reverb or effects...just basic.
On the other track, you put in the effects you want. Then play the tracks back and 'blend' the 2 together so you get the sound you want. So this way you can have distortion, but the clear track will cut thru and thus the 2 together will sound great...high distortion, yet you can still hear all the notes clearly.
You could also make a 3rd or more tracks of the same instrument, or say an acoustic guitar for a nice sound if appropriate, to add in another sound as well.

Ok....I will check out your page again and see what else you have there. I have been working 4 weeks now without a day off....so the music production is slow for me right now.

Thanks again,
Randy

Hello there sir,

Thanks for the review. I appreciate your giving it a listen. I will now go and see what you have up as I hadn't listened to any of your songs before.....as I don't recognize your name. ;)

Randy

Hello Wookie,

Sorry I am a little slow in replying to your review. After I write this I will check out some of your tunes and give a review.

I appreciate your review, and yes....there are a lot of good musicians on here. Some are even teachers of music. Many have played in their own band for years as I used to. And so you will find quite a variety of musicianship here.

Thanks again,
Randy

Hi Tw1tch970,

Thanks for reviewing this tune. I appreciate your kind words and am glad you liked it.

This was one of my favorite tunes.
You have permission to this song as you wish...wrestler or not. ;-)

Thanks again,
Randy

Hi there B5cully,

Hey, nice of you to drop by and give this tune a listen. Looks like your gonna keep me busy as you also reviewed another tune of mine earlier.:-)

Yeah, this tune was fun to put together. Trying to get that big sound isn't always easy.

I try to put the right pieces together so the song has a definite structure and to keep it from becoming boring and also keeping the listeners interest. Changing the beat some instead of the same thing throughout makes a big difference too.

Anyways, Glad you liked it and I will review some more of your songs as well.

Thank again,
Randy

Hi Butcher...,
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my tune. I don't believe you have reviewed any of my stuff before that I can recall, so I apprecaite you giving me a review.

I will check out one for your tunes here before I sign off.
I am glad you liked it. I enjoy working with loops sometimes as it gives your fingers a break from playing all the instruments on your own song.
I'll recommend another for you.....try 'Canadian Pride', you'll like that one too probably as it has that 'big sound' and an great guitar ending It is just a little over a minute, so not a long tune.
Randy

Hi ya Six,
So nice to hear from you. I also received your message on TT, so let's just say I am answering them both here.
I have to tell you, I go thru many songs before I buy one to make it into my own. Downloading samples and loops is one thing, but you gotta pay for the good stuff and put it together.

So between my own song making and assembling loops that I think will fit together, it makes me a happy camper.
What makes it even more fun is when a person like you, gives an honest praise of one of my tunes.

I'll do more loops, but I enjoy my own creating from scratch too. You know, sometimes the fingers just get a little sore and you need a break. :-)

Yes....download it, play it back on a big stereo system and you'll be in heaven, playing it many times over like I did, before I thought it was good enough to be posted.

Thanks Six, you and the others here are all my heroes.
Randy.

Slap....hey your really the man as far as I'm concerned.;-) You play the best sax going anywhere and your son is gonna be like you.

Glad you enjoyed the tune. Sometimes just a step back and do some arranging from loops is a good thing. I appreciate your comments very much.

Tomorrow (Nov 20) I should be showcased on Talenttrove.com if your interested. Over 9400 plays of my 9 songs in less than 2 months joining there.
Later friend,
Randy

Hi there Blair,
Ha Ha....geez, I hope your neck is okay now!
I got really excited myself when it all started coming together, and wondering if anyone will like it or not.

Sometimes when making a tune the regular way or from sample/loops, you get tired of it and have to put it aside. That is what I did with this one...working back and forth between the county/cajun one.. coming maybe tomorrow?

Still music is so much fun as there is no one telling you to work faster or be fired, or whatever! Your your own boss.
Thanks again Blair,
Randy

Hi there Seroksaty from afar.

I am happy that you stopped by and listened to my latest tune. Actually, I arranged this song from many loops, so I can't take credit for authoring it originally,
I just putting it together like a giant puzzle.
Thanks again, I appreciate your nice comments.
Randy

Ahhhh, the real Rei4real.
Hi there. Thanks for your very nice comments. I figured you as one who would like this song too a whole lot.
I enjoy messing around with loops as you can really put anything together...just your imagination is your limit.
That little electronic part is cool and fits in perfectly I think.
Thanks again friend from Facebook.
Randy

Hi ya Helix,
Thanks to you as well for your nice review. I am glad you liked it as I loved arranging it.

I have seen the UX2 in the magazines. Looks like a mean machine and somewhat complicated. But UREI stuff is excellent. I used to own an LA-4 compressor.
Good luck to you and will look forward to hearing your music making with it. (Let me know)
Randy
