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
Just listening to the new ACDC album, and while I'm happy to see them recording, their stuff is nowhere near as exciting and as fresh as this tract is. Thank you for this.
Art
Hi Art,
I appreciate your kind words, putting me up against ACDC! I haven't listened to any ACDC in a long time myself.
In fact, I haven't boughten any CD's in several years.
Usually if I hear a song I like, I will download it off itunes for .99 cents, that way I don't have to pay big bucks for the whole album.
Music videos are $1.99 is all, no matter the length.
Last couple songs I ordered, were Edgar Winter's 'Frankenstein', and Steve Vai's 'Horsie'
That is where I got part of the idea for my intro. Great videos as you can see them play the song and learn a lot that way too.
I'll review some of your songs here shortly...so thanks again for your review,
Randy
Great rock song. You've got so many styles you can play. I admire the way this song is build. All kinds of parts that fit in together. And the guitarplaying is superb. I will download this one again.
Gerard
Hi again Gerard,
Thanks for reviewing this tune. As you know, it took me nearly 2 months to do this one as well as the Swamp one. I try and be a well rounded musician, but my heart lies with Country, Bluegrass, Rock and Blues.
I haven't done any Bluegrass lately, but am thinking about it as well as another country song.
I haven't played my Banjo in a long time, so I better get it out of the closet. :-))))
Well I'll bite the heads of ten chickens and speak in tongues if I listen for too long......gut wrenching slide..way out in the boondocks..mosquito music...any which way you look at it this is real!....tres cool Randy...way slick and dirty...cheers planet :)
Hi Planet,
Hey, you certainly have a way with words! :-)
I am glad you liked the song and it inspires you to think of feeling like your actually in a swamp with the alligators, mosquitos, etc.
I will review some more of your songs and everyone else here, once I get all the replies written to those who left reviews on this song, and the 'Bo Diddley' style tune.
Thanks again for your cool comments,
Randy
Hi Randall,
Really fine slide with a good sound. Your playing skills are great. It has the right atmosphere. This one will have a great score on Looperman. I'm shure. It would be great if we can make a song together with this sound.
Gerard
Hi Gerard,
Thanks for your comments on this song. Been working on it abut 2 months. So far, not many reviews, but this site has had a few problems, so maybe things will pick up.
Songs come in so fast on here, that your song is usually knocked off the first page in a matter of hours, and no one will hear it unless it is marked as a featured track...which all of mine are originally.
Thanks again,
Randy
Hi Abe,
Thanks for the nice review. Sometimes you can get a strong feeling of what your doing and just keep going with it
Drink all you want....just don't drive too. :-)
Randy
I really like hearing how this started and how it has progressed.
Great tones.
I like how this is quite possibly 4 songs in one, but its an awesome medley and testament to Bo Diddly!
I still loooove that pull-off outro.
I am soo stealing that trick too hehe...
Hi Abe,
Thanks for leaving me a review here and you know I appreciate you giving me some ideas and suggestions. I decided to leave out the double bass part as I decided it was a little too muddied.
Hi again Blair,
Glad you got to listen to this rock tune as well. As you already know, I try and do my best and turn out quality, more than quantity.
Thanks for reviewing and listening. I'll get to review your songs as well once I get these reviews done that people left while I was out of town for a few days.
Randy
What key are you playing it in? I want to download it and get some harmonica practice to it. Great piece. Wish it was longer. Reminds me of the movie "They live" With Rodey Piper.
Hello Blair,
Hey...thanks for listening to this latest blues tune. It was done in 'C' tuning. Only 3 chords, but I think they make Harmonica's in most all the different keys?
That movie 'They live' you mentioned, I found it on the web last week and watched the whole thing while I was away. I remember watching it before a long time ago. I see what you mean about the music in the movie.
Very close and cool sounding. But I didn't copy it.
I try to make most of my songs lately to about the 3 minute mark these days.
Thanks for listening and glad you liked it.
Randy
Thank you Mr.T,
I am glad you liked it. Not many slide players on here, so it is different.
I appreciate your review and will listen to one of your songs and review it in return.
Randy
i don't know why the intro reminds me of something the band who sings the "friends" theme song would do... then it turns in to country. just my opinion haha. BUT I LOVE IT!! im strummin my air guitar right now!!
Hey there Korner,
Thanks for stopping by and reviewing my 12 string medley. I hadn't seen any other 12 string music on here.
It was just some pieces in my head that I put together and I figured I'd post it and see if people would like it. Most seem to so I am happy about that.
I haven't reviewed any of your songs yet, but will before the end of the day. Thanks again I appreciate your review.

BILBOZO will be PROUD!
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!
Nice to hear from you. I haven't forgotten you and your song. :-)
