Listen To Van Halen Meets Huey Lewis Rock Song By Randall822 | Looperman

Hi Jody,

Thanks for the reply.
I am glad you enjoyed the two song mixed. I have heard it done in the past before and wanted to give it a try. Came out pretty well I think.

I appreciate your comments and thanks again for listening and reviewing.

Hello there Mike,
Say...thanks for the review and listen to this tune.
Mixing 2 songs together isn't easy as you can imagine....that's why I don't do it much.

I appreciate your review and will give a listen to see what you have up.

Thanks,
Randy

Hi there,
Thanks for reviewing this track and the other 3 you did. I am slow getting back to you and am sorry about that. I did save your notices and planned to answer before now. I was working a lot of overtime last fall and didn't even make any songs for 3 months.

So I am glad you likd this tune and thanks for your patience. I will give a listen to some of yours.
Randy

Hello D2D,

Don't believe I had seen your name before reviewing any of my previous tunes. I appreciate your comments very much and am glad you enjoyed this tune.

Putting a tune like this together takes a lot of time as you can imagine. It is a matter of making both tunes full out and then fitting them together so they will fit properly.

Later, and thanks again,
Randy

Hello sir,
Thank you so much for listening and reviewing my Van Halen mix tune. I don't believe I have seen your name review any of my previous tunes, so your certainly welcome.

Shortly, I will review one of your tunes and give you feedback as well.

Mixing 2 tunes togather isn't easy and I have heard it done only a few times before. But now and then you hear a song and say to yourself, "now that sounds like another song I am familiar with", and thus the idea is born of trying to mix 2 songs together. That's what happened here.

Thanks again,
Randy

Hi there MCHN,

I appreciate you checking out my latest tune here. As I mentioned, it was no easy feat to do.
I liked both of the tunes as they sounded like they might fit together, so you hear the results.

Many guitarist I knew when I was playing in my band slowed down tunes to learn them them. Slowing down usually gets you half speed and an octave lower is all.
Some handheld recorders let you do this as well these days. Very helpful for learning very fast riffs, etc.

I appreciate your review and hope you'll stop by again.

Hello Abe,

Well I wrote you E-mail before this, but I wanted to answer some in here as well. I always appreciate your review as you tell it like it is. Of course, we all have different taste and what we want or wish to hear in others tunes.

The Synth was set down and then looped so I didn't have to keep playing it over and over.

I didn't add a lot as I am trying to play two different songs in one and needed to keep things unclutered is all.

Thanks for your review, I appreciate it.
Randy

Hi there Dave,
Such a pleasure to have to stop by and listen to one of my latest. I figured most people that were older like me would enjoy this tune. Took quite a while to make as you can imagine.
As far as the guitar work, that was hard as I had to do it in short sections....slower....until I could get the chops down....then put in in the track as normal speed keeping the same pitch.

Thanks for putting me into the likes of Bilbozo. He is truely a great player that's for sure.
I don't believe he has heard this one yet.

Thanks again for your glowing review and I'll be checking out to see what new stuff you may have up too.

Randy

Hello BigJowezy,

Hey, I appreciate you stopping by as well and listening and reviewing my latest. I will do the same for you.
A lot of great music was written in the middle 50's right up till the middle 80's I feel. Just before disco came in.

The sound of the guitars changed from the 50's surfing music by The Beach Boys to the Beatles and Rolling Stones in the 60's, and many other great artist (Jimi Hendriks, Jefferson Airplane, Eric Clapton and others to name a few) from the early era.
Then REO Speedwagon, Boston, Rush, and other great bands as well came along.

One of my daughters is now 16 and she is growing up with Rap and such. I am introducing her to good 'ole rock-n-roll and an country, and she likes it.

So anyways, glad you enjoyed the tune and thanks again for your comments.
Randy

Hello there Goosemeyer,

Now yours isn't a name I have seen before listening to my tunes, as I remember most everyone. So welcome!
I usually play/record country, rock, and blues.

I am glad to have to listen and review any of my tunes that you might be interested in.

As far as the particulars in this one, I used my Framus electric (Les Paul lookalike) and plug in direct usually. And yes I have amp modelers with in my Pro Tools software.
In fact, I think I have too much software.

I have real sounding natural pianos to electric pianos and many other various instruments including synths, such as the old ARP 2600 for weird sounds and the 'MOOG' instruments.

I use effects and EQing to acheive the sounds I want to hear. In other words, a lot of experimenting. I usually use www.betamonkeymusic.com drum sets as they are recorded live, usually 24 bit I choose.

Altho a drum machine will probably do the same....except cost lots more.
I usually record the rhythm track twice to give a song a fuller sound. This can be just the same guitar or combo of different guitars including acoustic guitars.
If you'll look at my profile and gallery, you'll see some of the different instruments I use and play myself. I also have learned the 'Mastering' side of music as well so I don't have to take my tunes to a studio anymore for mastering.

So again, thanks for stopping by and I'll give a listen to your tracks as well.
Randy
