Micky

Thank you so much.
I'll take the opportunity to tell you how much I love the always so deep and emotional songs of yours here. It's wonderful to find such heartfelt music in this place, so: Keep up the great work, too!!!
Michael

Haha, I won't go as far as selling it, but borrowing - why not. Thank you for listening.
Since you comment in two languages, I feel flattered twice as much ... ;o)
Saludos,
Michael

Yes, it's true - everything I do is in garageband because it's all that I can afford at the moment. But I think garageband is underrated.
Thanks for listening!

Thank you once more my friend for those schöne Worte!!!
So good to know that there are many others as passionate about making music as I am.
Besides, here's a little secret: I hope that Fuzzy Haskins, who really is one of my heros ("space people - universal lovers...") will never find out, that I sometimes steal parts of his lyrics. And if you ever get to meet him, please don't tell him.
Cheers,
Michael

Hey there Stereonomicon, thanks for the comment. You are right - I try to make my tracks sumptuous and transport some feelings of the past, but at the same time that is my weak point: these procuctions then have to be treated with very good knowledge of the technical side. And since I can't afford any commercial equipment, I have to try and do it with what I have. And that is just Garage Band with some plugins on my iMac. I know that you can come up with good results even with that kind of equipment, but that's what makes it quite difficult.
So I am very happy, that you and Teresa like it ;o)
Have a nice day and stay safe,
Michael

MMhh ... what a groovy comment. Thank you

I think there is my problem already: I use the maximum volume in the mix already (just up before red) because I want to have it pretty loud. Next time I will start at a much lower level from the beginning. You know, in my exitement for some good new track I still tend to get very sloppy but I have to learn that it is important to watch the technical things as well.
Thank you!
Michael

Thank you for the comment. I understand that I should lower the percussions a little, but would you fix that over-compression of mids in the master? I am thankful for any advice ...!

Hey HenryPascal,
I am sorry you got me so wrong here - I was absolutely thankful for the detailed review you gave me, because that was the wakeup call I needed. Thank you so much again!!! I think this is what makes LOOPERMAN so great: you get response, encouragement and criticism so you can learn.
Sorry, my words in the description were meant absolutely funny - a bit of sarcasm on myself. I will remove it, if you feel offended.
I am very glad about your new comment here, because, you know, with this track I had a very hard struggle and was very close to giving up recording at all. But maybe you know this case: for some reason you don't want to skip an idea and try to get it through however. Your review gave me the push I needed and I got myself togetherand got a bit deeper into the technical side.

And: I know about the option to leave a track in the profile and just upload a new mix, but once I realized the poor mix I wanted to take it off as quick as possible ;o)

Thank you very much,
Cheers,
Michael

Thanks for listening.
If you like, you can download it, play it to your mom and tell her it's your work - no problem with that.
Cheers

To hear from folks that this tune really has a positive effect on them and they're diggin it makes me very happy and is very rewarding. Yes, I tried to put as much emotion in word and music as I could, and was quite surprised for myself what came out.
Thank you so much for loggin in and tellin me, Patricia!
Take care

Hi Format. Thank you!
This was composed on guitar. I had those chords and just recorded them with electric and acoustic guitar to a simple beat, which I changed later on. Then I added the bass, live played of course. Then all keyboards/synths live. I prefer samples from real instruments! That melody after the verse is a combination of french horn and traverse flute). Oh yes, and then of course the vocals. So the only thing that was not played live are the drums, but they also took a lot of tricky handicraft.
Thanks for your interest,
keep well,
stay in tune,
heads up,
keep groovin,
bye bye,
Michael

Thanx

Thank you!
I love all your professional stuff ... even the blues ;-)
Keep well

Hi there RuslanG, thanks for the compliment!

Hi Jynxz! Thank you very much, mein Herr!
To hear that from the greatest tamer/trainer of musical material means that with this song I didn't spoil the test completely ...
Stay healthy and keep producing and uploading,
Michael

Hello Steve,
hope you're still doing well and don't suffer that much from the circumstances we're all in recently.
Thank you for the compliment.
With this song I had to watch like hell not to slide completely over into a Kitsch thing, but the combination of french horn and traverse flute came in like a ghost and avoided that. Phhhhh. Maybe some herb helped, too.
Hey I really love your choice of fav albums: For Your Pleasure - my gosh, Roxy Music; along with Spirit Of Eden - another fav of mine and Chic - the gods of sophisticated dance.
Keep well,
Michael
