Hello there HrubeshDj,

Hey....nice to see you here and several others here that haven't reviewed my tunes before....or perhaps never left a review.

I am glad you liked the tune. I enjoy making them very much when you have the right tools..
I'll check out some of your tunes soon and leave a review back.

Thanks again,
Randy

Hello MCHN,

Thanks for giving a listen to my Latin type tune.
I appreciate your comments very much. Just a song I thought I would try since I had a Loop CD full of Nylon guitar only.

hmm, I have the feeling that this song changes its atmosphere several times. The first part is dark (maybe "badass" would be a suiting word), then the following one reminds me more of some kind of rush hour in a big city (that's the picture I have in my mind, at least). The mood of the third one fits more to the first part. Overall it sounds very interesting. Well done composition.

Hi there B5cully,

Hey, nice of you to drop by and give this tune a listen. Looks like your gonna keep me busy as you also reviewed another tune of mine earlier.:-)

Yeah, this tune was fun to put together. Trying to get that big sound isn't always easy.

I try to put the right pieces together so the song has a definite structure and to keep it from becoming boring and also keeping the listeners interest. Changing the beat some instead of the same thing throughout makes a big difference too.

Anyways, Glad you liked it and I will review some more of your songs as well.

Thank again,
Randy

I really like the way how you combined the keyboards and the hard guitar sound. The gutar riffs here are very catchy in my opinion. All in all everything harmonizes very well, you did a wonderful job!

Hello B5cully,

Thanks again for your very nice comments. Again I have to say....I try and make quality music, even tho not everyone will like what I do.

Probably as you've already found out, I also make Blues, Country, and Rock type tunes as I like all 3 genre myself. Depends on my mood.

I haven't yet released any ALL keyboard tunes. My Korg Karma is rich with many amazing sounds and it's just a matter of me putting the guitar down and messing with it.
It has great organ, strings, horn sounds, some pre-programed voices, and of course 'weird' sounds. An amazing keyboard if I may say so.

Thanks again man for your nice coments and am glad you enjoyed it, and others.

i would like to create a track like that but i cant. I wonder how you made it.
Randall822
Randall822 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hello Katerjames,

Thanks again for listening to one of my later tunes.
This was done in Pro Tools which is a comprehensive program that takes several months to learn, plus having the right hardware to start with.

I used a combo of loops and my own playing in this song. Putting loops together and making them fit into the tune seemlessly is the key.

As far as creating a track like this, not sure how far Garageband will take you.
I have never used any other program so I can't compare.

Thanks for listening and am glad you liked the song.

Hi,

i did grow up with this kind of music while listening to afn, the radio-station of the GIs in Berlin and i love it.

Randall822 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hi Katerjames,

Thanks a lot for reviewing one of my country tunes. My main roots are country, but I also do Blues and Rock some.

This particular tune took me about 2 months to put together. I used loops in parts that I don't play or own an instrument myself.

I usually use live recorded drum sets from www.betamonkeymusic.com as you usually have a choice of 16 or 24 bit wav files for drums. Not synth type drums you usually hear or make with a software program. Or if you have a drum machine, they do very well too. This kind of country don't take much drums so I am referring to my other tunes I did as well. Particulary rock.

I play 6 instruments so that helps too. All the other parts were done with the help of loops.
The Cajun part was made with the hep of a friend of mine in Louisianna.

Glad you liked the tune.

wow all your replys appear to me like 3x the length of the review, i feel i have to say alot now,,

anyway as i said im m last review great mixing again, you have to share your secrets great guitar playing =D i loved it, although this would be a very highly talented punk band if you were in it, lol

great stuff

Hello Helven,

Haven't heard from you in a long time, but that is okay...there are so many good artist on here, no one can get to them all. Over 130,000 members and over a 100 joining each day...it seems!

Glad you liked this tune as far as this Punk one. Someone said here, punk bands don't play this well. Ha Ha. I don't know as I never played punk myself. To me, it was just a tune I wanted to try.
I can do several more I suppose, but it depends on my mood I guess.

This was made from one of the many loop disk I have.
Basically you put loops together like a puzzle and then adjust everything to make it soumd good.
I always try and buy 24 bit loops if I can as they are better quality and then bounce-to-disk back to 16 bit for CD's.

I do play guitar on many of the tunes I put up or bass, and put in drums...whatever I want in the tune.

Sorry about the long replies, but I like to explaining things so young musicians such as your self can hopefully learn something from me.

Thanks for the review,
Randy

Hey Randy...now I'd love to be able to play this well(In my dreams!)...very reminiscent of Al Dimeola..with that beautiful precise and expressive sound..I like the added electronica as well...what with all the various genre categories here I'd call this Latin Fusion...hehe..great listenable tune that is way enjoyable..cheers planet :)

Randall822 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hi there Planet,

Just happened to be online when your mail came thru.
Glad you liked the 'Latin fusion' tune. ha ha

Yeah, a few other members expressed interest in Latin music, so I decioded to give it a shot with the Nylon guitar loops disk I had, with mixing in a little 'noises'in the rhythm area.

Thanks for the nice comments, I appreciate them.

Randall822 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hi again there Divbe,

I am glad you stopped by and took a listen and reviewed this tune. This was a shorter one.

I haven't done anything professional yet as I am still learning my Pro Tools software. Only been doing software music for a little over a year.....altho when I was younger, I had my own band and played all the 6 instruments I can play...listed in my profile.

Depending on the song we played at the time, I would play this or that instrument. This allowed more diversity in the songs we could do.

I liked country -rock music as that is what we played. Now I mix my own playing with loops I buy.

I cannot play drums, so I get them from
www.betamonkeymusic.com These are live recorded drums in 12 or 24 bit mostly. I choose 24 bit to work with.
I also have all my songs mastered in a studio.....or some I do myself as I am learning about it myself.
Usually a person that mixes and masters their own song...can't do both equally well.
Take care and thanks again for your comments.
(Guess I need a good vocalist next).

Hi there Butcher,

Thanks for the nice review man. Not sure I am a genius, but I suppose Einstein didn't have a label on his shirt that said that either. lol

I appreciate the nice comments and am glad you liked the tune.
Latin/Spanish/Mexican music all sound simular to me, but I am sure there are dfferences. Just I don't listen to that much of it, but I wanted to try something different than Rock.

Anyways friend, I thank you again,

Hello Helix,

Hey thanks for stopping by and giving my tune a listen....and thanks for suggesting others listen to it as well.

This is a tune I always thought I'd like to make, but never got around to it before. Being on vacation all week helps.
It was fun putting it together and adding in synth parts.

I am glad you liked it. I feel it is a little short...about 2 min. but I couldn't think of anything else to put into it.

Thanks again,

Hello again Butcha,
Hey, am glad you got to check this tune out as well. Not that I need anymore reviews really.

I posted this link with the other one as somedays on Looperman, you post a song and with so many others uploading theirs too, your tune disappears in several back pages in a matter of hours!

The only way then is usually to catch it by watching the Featured section.

So this tune was a fun one to make as well as 'Rock With Me'. These are the tunes I always wanted to play live, but our band at the time was more into country-rock.

Still will check out your tunes...tomorrow for sure, and give you feedback. Thanks again Butcha!!

Must be the redneck part of me. heheheh

Wow.. In one way.. I am like hell yah! LOVING THIS.
And then in the other... I am like... I have this guy's E-mail address!!!?!?!? WOW I kinda know you!! lol...

The first part... Like... Don't be upset with me, this is FANTASTIC, but to me, just my opinion, I did want the changes to be smoother.. It felt a little jigsawed, and the edges got frayed... But The fact you did this all yerself... Randy... You rule.... This hobby of yours is really bigger than you, because you really make me think about music and how to turn peoples heads.
(for example... I wanted the harmonica to breath more... Like I could hear him getting ready and finishing....)

lol... Wow, Loving the banjos. That legato guitar stuff and the phrasing.. wow (that acoustic lick is definitely the standout) followed by the really fantastic pedal steel, that was awesome, but I love that Whoooooooooooooooooooooo sound... It sounded like a party.. I am really awed. My mouth is open lol...

I really like the cajun part. I guess I do think of fairs and county music, but I think about my first love.... She loved this kind of music.

And I do too.

(Ps thanks for e-mailing!!!)

Hi Abe,
Nice to have you back. I appreciate you giving me a review back on this country/cajun mix. This is the real deal! Doesn't get much better as far as original sounds, but I can agree with you on the minor stuff.

Smoother changes from one part to another, harmonica breathing. (Totally all loops for this part) That whooooo type sound is a guy yelling something like Aaaaahhhhhiiiieeee. Typical cajun yell. :-)
Thanks for the review and again nice to hear from you.

It you wanna a rock tune to play along with, check out 'Rock my World' when you get a chance.
I left the lead guitar volume lower in the first part for that purpose.
