Description : Working on my acoustic recording quality. What do you guys think? I'll extend this once it's closer to completion.
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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : Written for Claudio's birthday (my Italian friend) in obvious waltz manner and with slight classical touch this tune appears to me almost painfully simple and minimalistic (and indeed it is)....and yet, Claudio who's very familiar with my music says that this is one of the nicest pieces of music I've ever written even if it wasn't his birthday present....well, who knows if he's right..:)^^
Description : BEAUTIFUL guitar with pianino chords. This is sad guitar. But this guitar have a positive mood.
Description : A rhythm guitar track I made and sent to my cousin on the East Coast. Made with Tape-A-Talk app. from the Google Play Store. Download and collaborate with it.
Description : Inspired by a poem I heard on a tv series, we decided to share what we hope for our baby boy. Big thank you to the loop of houssam12lahyani.
Also included in my acapella's. Enjoy!
Hey BradoSanz,
I was wondering if I could use this piece in a video I'm making? I really like the simplicity and elegance of this piece. Thanks a ton for working your magic. :)
-CIAX
Waoh !!!!
I think it very cool
Good Job !
Nice job
I saw your name while I was scrolling through the tracks and just *had* to stop by to take a listen. After hearing your great work with Patricia Edwards' track, how could I resist? :)
cheers
-Dan
Good job, sounds great! :D
Love it man, great job!!
Quality is top notch and the Riff works great with what you have. Can't wait till you expand this. Awesome job.
tv
Hey Brado, the quality of the track is great, the guitars sound full and have an overall big sound to them. It amazes me how great your tracks sound. I think you are a natural at this stuff, I think recording and mixing is an art like painting, with practice people can get better but some are just naturally gifted. You defiantly fall into the gifted category and practice just takes you up even further. Are planning on creating a track with that riff? I think it has a lot emotion and could really be a great song. Anyway good job
Nice quality man, it's all sounding excelent
Wow that is really a clean sound, the guitar is beautiful. I play a little guitar, mostly electric, loud and dirty, but I know how hard it is to get a clean and bright sound like that. Wow. Well done, its a pity its so short...
Very beautiful. Light and airy, and refreshing. Sounds good to me. :-)
Regreetings.
"simply strummed the strings whilst muting them and then compressed, distorted, delayed and reverbed it"
Yes - I do stuff like that quite often on various instruments. I sometimes try slightly unusual playing techniques that are more like effects eg just doing some sort of funk strumming on muted/harmonics on the guitar or bowing harmonics beyond the fingerboard (and behind the bridge) on the cello. This is often hit and miss and I'm generally not playing any obvious tune or riff. It's usually more of rythmic thing going on. Then I edit the takes and apply effects and something cool comes out. Your version here is a good example of this sort of approach.
"I love cymbal swells"
I need to use them more rather than my usual, regular cymbal hits. They're very effective in sparse, chillout tracks.
Thanks you for promising to comply with my Nomadic commands. You could even have a go at using Paulstretch here on some vocals. Or guitar parts. Or some of those piano notes to make really huge, lengthy ones. Evisma has had some success with the software so you should try too. I still haven't got round to putting my cello through it, which is very lazy. I must also try piano.
"9/10 isn't so bad"
That's generally considered good where I come from.
Best of luck with your lengthening.
Static StretchMad
This is so good man!
So soothing and soulful.
Guitar,pads,shakers all sound so perfect! Amazing!
Complete the track soon. Cant wait!
I would love to hear more tracks like these.
Great Job.
I think Pete has said pretty much the same as my head tells me...love it Brado...and you already have that acoustic recording thing down pat I think....look forward to hearing the final....I`v e been trying to record acoustic in various ways for a long tome but seems like just sticking a mic (or 2) in the right spot works best....Cheers...Ed
*sneaks in, has a few more listens, sneaks out*
PS: NateJMusic, curious whats coming out of that. I'm in love with this ^^
Ok, so this is really nice. Would you be ok with me doing a Tropical House remix to this?
Im not a tech guy but the recording quality is amazing.
The instrumental(for now i suspect)its really well produced.All the instruments you have used gel really well together.
Really really awesome work
Nelson
I tried mic'ing the acoustic this time (instead of plugging in via pickup, because in the past I never got the results I wanted) and the results were quite impressive.
I tried mic'ing my acoustic once before and it sounded big and crisp. I don't really record acoustics because I lack isolation (you know, when you have four screaming kids and a yapping dog, you'll understand...lol). I've built a nice size room in my garage to record in. I only got as far as framing it and installing electrical wiring but it's still far from done. I've been wanting and needing to record vocals but it's for the same reason why I can't, isolation.
I've been meaning to ask you, what eq are you using for your acoustic guitar mix. Stock? Native? It almost sounds like you're mixing with an API or 1073 eq. Either or it sounds big and crisp. Kudos for the mix, very good stereo field. Keep it up :)
Pete
Yo.
"Working on my acoustic recording quality!
Haha - your acoustic recording quality is always excellent. At least to my humble ears.
0:42 that's a cool rhythmic sound. Is it guitar?
0:47 sounds a little like low cello. Perhaps low string pad?
Good shaker there too.
0:59 nice, distant piano notes.
1:13 cymbal swell is good.
Damn you as this is too short. I command you to extend it and make it something bigger and better.
The Nomad has spoken so you must comply!
I'd give this 10/10 if it were longer so it's a 9 for now...
Wow..
You left me behind seeking for words after this truly amazing piece of music. Seriously..
I agree with Nelephant that this indeed has a soul and sounds as pure emotion to me. Hard to describe but I feel happiness, love, a calm state of inner peace, a urge to just stare out of the window and let the music fully take over. I NEED MORE, finish it! lol
It has got splendid details in it for just being a 1:35 sneak a peek. I am not 'home' in acoustic that much but it sounds very good recorded to me. Listened it over and over for like 8x before I even finished this comment lol. Big fav!!!
- Wobbin
Another amazing mix and sound here Brado...waiting for the final product...I guess, it would be one of the best acoustic number here...
hats off, Danke
"Anotha one" I love the intro wind/thundery stuff. It really sets a mood for the absolutely beauty of the guitar work. Reminds me of something I'd hear in "The most Beautiful Songs In The World" playlist on spotify. Not only is the quality top notch as usual, but it has a soul. Something I don't hear on alot of records nowadays. I can't wait to hear the finished track (: I'm sure it will be 684 times more amazing once it's completed. Congrats man, and Much love man! Peace!
Wow man, I am blown away. This is probably the most moving piece (finished or not) I've listend to on here. It reminds me of soundscape music I listen to when I sleep at night. Mix is excellent, nuff said. I really like where this is going and I am eager to here the rest. I'm all ears when this is done. It's a bit early but still 10/10. Faved.
Pete
