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....
3Q very much.
I like it! reminds me of some of the better 90's songs. 1 tip i found that I like to do in pro tool is that I set up inputs and outputs at a minimum, and save it as a template with my settings save them as templates so when i start to record I can record rather than get out of the mood to play by the time I get done setting up all the inputs and outputs etc :)
thanks for sharing
Hey Kyle,
I've sent you a message through the contact me tab. Please check your spam/junk folder in your mail as sometimes they go in there. :)
Malu
The song itself is very good, just need to seperate the guitar and vocals by recording them independently if you havent already. This will give you more control over editing them
Hi!
Good vibes here. I sometimes use a freeware application called audacity to improve the sound. It's free and if you can overlay a couple of layers of your track to get a richer sound and also you can use the equalizer and compressors to move your voice a bit closer (it's a bit in the distance right now). And also, mixing is a complex thing to do and there is different ways to do it. I sometimes visualize myself beeing one of the audience watching myself on the scene just to put the panning right. If the choir is put on the left side with me in the middle I pan the choir a bit to the left.
Good luck and hope to hear more from you soon.
hey Kyle
this is a superb song with your amazing and strong voice...but it could be much better with a huge chorus part as a peak of the song with second and third backing vocs with you of course...I can advice only this musical idea cause for the mix there were Mahloo and Brado to tell you the 100%...:-)
with appreciation and handshake, Danke
Very nice voice , good chords but it can be better ... I love the middle melody a lot
Pro tools, cubase, reaper...doesn't really matter which daw you use. I run protools because it's the norm and I need interchangeability with other studios and artists and I also like it a lot, and know it pretty well so I can edit really fast and be eficient with it.
As for recording/ mixing tips, feel free to ask questions, I'm always open for discussions. I do a lot of production work also, like taking peoples songs and ideas and working them into full productions with the artists themselves so feel free to contact me if you wanna go down that road. You've got a great voice that has potential for heaview,denser songs as well.
Cheers!
Woah! Now this is a bit of fresh air. Great voice! You need a bigger song to perform on!
As for the mix, well it's pretty basic but works well. As a production advice you could double that rhythm guitar to make the record sound wider but also leave some elements mono to create movement. Loved the sound however and totally like your voice! Keep at it and thanks for sharing!
-Malu-
Yes, everything should be removed :) Thanks!
Brado
That'll work! Remember, no effects, just the tracks exactly the way they were recorded into it, before any effects or processing. :)
Brado
Can you send me each track individually without any effects? To where if I were to drop them all into my studio DAW, it would sound just like this recording - but without any effects or anything applied. Raw.
Brado
Wow, a Roland vs2480! I haven't seen those in a long time :) I really don't know how to explain it, it's fairly simple if you're working digitally but I'm not sure for the Roland! Do you send the Roland's recordings to a computer and then add effects to it before exporting?
Your voice is wonderful. If you want, you can email me the guitar track and the vocal track, both raw and without any effects. I have a little bit of experience mixing this kind of music, I'd be happy to try my hand at this one. Let me know, my email is on my profile if you're interested.
Brado
Nice track I think the song is pretty good, there seems to be a little bit of extra noise in the track, a hissing noise I guess. This could be because of how loud you are recording. What is your input level set at? I typically record at about -6db so that it allows some head room to compress and eq,etc. It helps cut down on the hissing and other noise as well. Other than that I thought it was a good track. Thanks for sharing with us.
Kyle
Hey that turned out awesome. I assume one hand on the bottle is next : ) Glad to be able to find this. And hey.... I'm the first to comment.
