Slap....hey your really the man as far as I'm concerned.;-) You play the best sax going anywhere and your son is gonna be like you.
Glad you enjoyed the tune. Sometimes just a step back and do some arranging from loops is a good thing. I appreciate your comments very much.
Tomorrow (Nov 20) I should be showcased on Talenttrove.com if your interested. Over 9400 plays of my 9 songs in less than 2 months joining there.
Later friend,

Hi there Blair,
Ha Ha....geez, I hope your neck is okay now!
I got really excited myself when it all started coming together, and wondering if anyone will like it or not.
Sometimes when making a tune the regular way or from sample/loops, you get tired of it and have to put it aside. That is what I did with this one...working back and forth between the county/cajun one.. coming maybe tomorrow?
Still music is so much fun as there is no one telling you to work faster or be fired, or whatever! Your your own boss.
Thanks again Blair,
Randy
I am happy that you stopped by and listened to my latest tune. Actually, I arranged this song from many loops, so I can't take credit for authoring it originally,
I just putting it together like a giant puzzle.
Thanks again, I appreciate your nice comments.
Randy
yeah, what a sound, and what a track!!!
classical rock on one side, but a slight electronic touch that makes it sound so fresh ...
great song!!!! from a great man ....
Ahhhh, the real Rei4real.
Hi there. Thanks for your very nice comments. I figured you as one who would like this song too a whole lot.
I enjoy messing around with loops as you can really put anything together...just your imagination is your limit.
That little electronic part is cool and fits in perfectly I think.
Thanks again friend from Facebook.
Randy
Great track, really well put together.
A compilation song [or maybe a whole album] from the guitarists of looperman would sound amazing. And I'll be joining you soon when my UX2 arrives.
Hi ya Helix,
Thanks to you as well for your nice review. I am glad you liked it as I loved arranging it.
I have seen the UX2 in the magazines. Looks like a mean machine and somewhat complicated. But UREI stuff is excellent. I used to own an LA-4 compressor.
Good luck to you and will look forward to hearing your music making with it. (Let me know)
Randy
Hi Blair,
Thanks kindly for the review. I appreciate it very much. Just wanted to also let you know, later this week, I will be uploading a country/cajun tune that you might like. Quite a bit different instruments in it. Mostly in 'G' tuning...Has some harmonica in it too that I put together from loops.
Randy
Hi ya SEROKSATY,
I happened to be online when your review came in. I am glad you liked the song. I like it very much. I love the full sound it has. I want all my songs to sound 'full'.
Thanks agin...I will listen to one or more of your songs here tomorrow for sure and give a review back.
Randy
Hi there Acrylic,
Thanks for reviewing the 12 string song. I appreciate your comments. The drum set I decided to use was a double bass set. Made more for heavy metal, but I like the sound of them and wanted to try out a milder set of them that I had on a disk.
So I did and only a few complaints about the drums, and also not being loud enough in the mix as you also said. I am learning 'Pro Tools' and am making tunes as I flip the pages so to speak, and thus, didn't know a whole lot about how to do mastering, but I am still learning.
Thanks for your comments. I'll check out one of your songs here as well.
Randy
Hello there Mejdi,
Thanks for taking the time to review my latest tune. I appreciate it a lot.
I buy the drums loops from www.betamonkeymusic.com . However, they do have free samples that you can download usually from each set type.
Most sets cost about $29 and you pay by using Paypal, or some other means, and then you can download them right from there, or have them sent to you via postal mail.
However, I am not sure about oversees shipping via regular mail from them, so you have to read about it on that web site.....but I know Internet downloads are available, but most files sets are over 300 megabytes. So you would need a decent speed internet connection.
On Looperman here, there are many FREE short drum loops available too.
Thanks again for reviewing my song.
Randy
Hi there Mik,
Thanks for the kind review. This is one of my most favorite tunes I have done to date.
I'll agree that it was too short. I do have a longer version made up, but it is basically the same over and over..
I see where one fellow played this song 5 times.....but never left a review. Strange eh?
Why not just download it instead?
So I guess they liked it an awful lot too. :-0)
loved it! being a blues man myself playing harmonica this is way cool hats off to you sir we should get together and work on something now that i,m back into the mix again!
Hi Johhny,
Yeah....I guess you were away for time...but glad to have you back now. Happy that you liked this slow blues tune.
Took me awhile to make it, but it was worth it. It seems the slower you go in this type of music, the more stuff you can squeeze in. lol
I don't believe that I have listened to any of your music in awhile, so I will have to check out your tracks and see what's new.
At the moment I am working on a country tune...and at the end, thowing in a Cajun part right from the Louisana bayou.
Yes, perhaps we can do something later on in a Blues song...that would be fun. I'll let you know when I start another one.
Thanks for reviewing my song and your nice comments.
Randy
this song shows some serious editing and mixing skills...you've become a personal influence for my future works...thank you
(if i might just point out a small detail, i think you over compressed the guitar, or at some points it sounds like that...but for being your second song ever, hell, you're way better than me!)
Hi there Miots,
Thanks for the review. I appreciate it very much and the comment/suggestion.
I'll have to agree 100% about the guitar being overly compressed.
I am still learning as I go, and a person can work only just so long on a song.....so you then upload it and hear others comments to see how your doing, and what can be done better.
That is why the review feature of leaving feedback is important....to help out others like me who are just starting out with music software.
damn...this is a great track...love the banjo and guitar playing...and bass, an drums, and hell, everything...superb mix, flawless playing...excellent work!
Hi there Miots,
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the first tune I uploaded on here. I appreciate the comments very much.
I love country music as that is basically where my roots are.
I am working on another one now featuring a nuber of instruments, including some Cajun fiddle music thrown in.
Thanks again,
Randy
Hi Memphis,
Thanks a lot for reviewing this tune. I had a lot of fun putting it together....trying to show a few different styles. Slide guitar is still alive and well. :-)
I'll check out one of your tunes in a day so. I am at work now.
Thanks again,
Randy
I have just recently finished a track that has zero of my guitar playing on it, and it was super fun to put together. It does not have the beautiful directness that this groove has. Your producing skills are rock solid, as your songs always sound brilliantly clear and clean. Another fine addition to the canon, no matter where it came from. Peace, Six
Hi Six,
Thanks so much for your review here.
So you have done a song as well with just loops. Great....I am looking forward to listening to it.
I have been around a long time, and probably 10 years from now, I may not even be able to do much, so I am making the best of my music abilities now before I get 'too old'. :-)
My quest is to make quality sounding music, and having done some sound reinforcement in the past, I like making the lead part stand out so you can hear it and not hidden in the background.
Hey Randy...If your not ripping it up playing,your arranging!..and this is a gem..full of that big top headliner sound you only get from bands that have grown up together.....it's got that unmistakeable 'Hit' sound of the Eighties...big guitars and big bucks....great!..cheers planet :)
Hi Planet!
Thanks for your review of this short tune. As I mentioned to Bill, I loved this song a lot and now wished I made it longer.
Arranging already made loops is fun to do...like a giant puzzle. Find the pieces that will fit together just right.
I have a few more I will put together and upload in the near future.
Hi there Abe,
Nice to hear from you. I haven't forgotten you and your song. :-)
Glad you liked this little tune. I have a few more similar ones to work on, but they are on the back burner till I can catch up with what I have started.
Unfortunately, I haven't hardly listened to any Avril's songs...except 'Skater boi' hee hee
Maybe it was a sublimial message in my head as I made it?
Thanks for listening,
Randy
Hi there Alkie,
Looks like you take first place for being the 1st one to review my latest tune!
I am not sure about the Avril licks as I have only played a couple of her songs. She is an amazing talent tho for sure....and from Canada!
Any likeness of this song to her songs is purely a coincidence.
Thanks again for the review and I will review some songs of yours shortly.!
Randy
Hello Scott,
Thanks for reviewing this track. I am glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun putting it together.
I'll check out one of your songs here in a bit.
Funny, I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader and Flash, and now I can't review anyones songs, even my own.
However, on my laptop, I can. So I best not mess with upgrading Adobe on that one for a time. :-)
I am gonna upload one called 'Canadian Pride' in a few min. which is an Altern-Rock type tune you may also like. It is short tho.
Thanks again Scott for the nice review!
Randy
Hi there,
Say...thanks for reviewing my 12 string track. I had fun making it and you don't see that many 12 string files/tracks around.
I'll be sure to check out your song(s) very shortly and give you a review back.
Thanks again,
Randy
Hi Voltage,
Thanks again for reviewing this song. This was my first creation with using software as mentioned in the heading. I found later that my master volume wasn't up to red book code, so I have since fixed that and some other minor levels, but I didn't repost the song is all.
Am glad you liked it as I enjoyed making it. I don't sing so I am afraid all my songs will be instrumentals. Most complain that it was too short, so I try and make subsequent songs near the 3 min. length at least.
Randy
Nice feel.
Great construction and beautiful engineering.
Playing this on the mains in my studio and it just rocks.
Perfect levels........serious quality.
Excellent work.
Direct to my Favs.....
Voltage
Hi Sky Voltage,
Thanks so much for listening to several of my tracks and for becoming a new fan. :-)
Since it takes me about a month or 2 to create a song and mix it properly, I am afraid I don't have many songs posted as I just started music creation with Pro Tools last Nov.
7 to date in fact. I believe in quality rather than quanity, plus I work a lot, so time is limited. I like a variety of music from Blues to Country and rock.
I play 6 different instruments and what I can't play, I get off royality free loop disk.
I am glad you liked this Alternate type Rock song. I had fun putting it together.
I will review more of your songs over this weekend!
Randy
Hi ya Slap,
Thanks a lot for reviewing my Voodoo Swamp song. That one took some work for sure. I appreciate your comments very much.
I admire your work very much as well. Being a music teacher has to be one of the best jobs out there.....seeing people progress from not knowing how to properly hold an instrument, to see them one day in concert.
Your son is already proof of that goal.
Thanks again,
Randy

Too short. alkie has a point. hehe. I wonder if Avril Lavigne used the same loops?
Either way! Great! You definitely have a knack for the arrangement. This proves it!
