Better Times - WIP - BradoSanz

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. :)

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.

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. :-)

"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.

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

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!!!

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!
