Hello there Majucarma,
I am sorry that I didn't reply to you much sooner as I usually do when I get a review. So perhaps I never got notified originally or I was just too busy as I was from Oct. - Dec.
Anyways, thanks for your review and I'll review some of your tunes as well.

So thanks again for your comments and I am glad you enjoyed this tune.
Randy

Hi ya BenjiP,

I also want to thank you for listening and reviewing this tune. As I am working a lot now..12 hour shifts with no days off temporarily...I have not made anything since the last Techo-Trance tune.

I didn't even have time to enter the last big contest as maybe some of my tunes might have won?
Anyways, if you have any tunes up, I will take a listen and give a review back to you.

Thanks again for your reply. Like the old Dorito's commercial, Don't worry, I'll make more!
Have to go...I am still working.

Hello there Acidizer,

I wanted to thank you for listening to several of my rock type tunes already. I certainly appreciate the comments, as they are welcome....along with amy critizm.

I am at work now and can't easily listen to any of your music until I get home. But rest assurd that I will and give feedback to each one sir.

The computers here at work are basic and some have only snall speakers, so they aren't good to listen thru.

So I am glad you enjoyed the songs. as you may or may not have found out, I also play country, blues and... rock mostly.
I mostly always use drum sets I buy off the Internet, as I am not a drummer. Or if the song is fairly simple, then I can record some with my Korg M-3

If you read my profile or looked at my photo galley, then you can see the various instruments I own and use as needed.
I use Pro-Tools for all my productions as I never started with a adifferent pgm.

Has a big learning curve, but the results I get myself are pleasing to my ears at least.
OK..take care.....Oh..say..one more thing,,if you are into heavy metal at all..and I am not really myself...take a listen to 'Heavy Metal Highway".
That seems to be the favorite of most here.
Thanks again..
Randy.

Hi there Acidizer.....
I very much appreciate your listening and reviewing this tune. Must be it came up under the 'Featured box' as it has been out for a little while.
I haven't made much of any music at all since that Techo-Trance tune. I have been really busy at work on the night shift at 12 hours a night, and no days off! So...no new music. :-(

So no worries..I will start again in mid December. I think I'll run back to my country roots and produce a modern country instrumental with the use of my Emmond Pedal Steel...it is sitting in the corner feeling neglected.

Thanks again man, and I will listen to some of your tracks as well in a couple days...as I am at work now ...again.

Hello there Wayne,

Sorry that I am a little slow in getting back to you. I am working 12 hours a day, everyday for about a couple months now.

Thanks a lot for stopping by and giving this country/cajun tune a listen and review. I am glad you enjoyed it. Guess I should do more fo theis than the rock I do.

I will give one of your tunes a listen and give a review back in kind.
Thanks again,
Randy

Hello there Wayne,

Thanks for listening to my western tune I did awhile back. I appreciate your kind comments and I am glad you enjoyed it.
I just listened to the song you mentioned called 'Just Tonight' and thought you did a very nice job on it. It is quite a bit different than mine, as mine builds up 3 times, and of course it is a little different style.

However, this does have that spanish flavor to it. One of my other tunes is kind of a real spanish style that was put together.

I have many nylon guitar loops on a CD that I bought. Even though I play fairly well myself, sometimes the loops sound cleaner and so I often use them, and put them together.
Okay, thanks again for the listen and review.
Randy

Hello there sir,

Thanks for the review. I appreciate your giving it a listen. I will now go and see what you have up as I hadn't listened to any of your songs before.....as I don't recognize your name. ;)

Randy

Hi ya Daniel,

Thanks for stopping by and listening to this 12 string track I put together. It has been up quite awhile, but new songs dissappear off the front page in a matter of minutes sometimes.
So thank goodness for the 'Featured' section as many of my songs see new life.. ;-)

The 12 string...which is a newer Fender Strat model as shown in my pics, is the one I used. I used to have a 1967~ version with the hockey stick end headpiece on it. Now that baby would be worth $5k today if I still had it. You know how early on, your trading this and that...

I may have already listened to your acoustic 12 string...if not, I will certainly listen to it and give a review back...or a different tune for sure.

When I put together that tune, it was just a mish mash of sounds I had in my head I wanted to hear. So that is why most of the sections are short.

Then I got crazy and rev'd it up towards the end.

So I plan on adding more 12 string in ....in the future. At the moment I am trying to work my 2 korg keyboards in to my music for the extra variety they can give me.

I am working 12 hour nights now without any time off for about 35 nights more....so no music is getting made at all. I have to sleep during the day best I can.

later pal,
Randy

Hi there Califken,

Don't believe I have seen your name before in connection to reviewing any of my past tunes....so welcome and thanks for listening and reviewing this song.
It is nice to know what people think...good or bad....so a person can improve themselves.

Yes, the intro uses nearly the same chords as Thriller does, but in a different key. The last chord is a lot different tho as I needed one to hold for a moment till the other part of the song started. (minor 7th)

As far as clean sounding, I usually go in direct and use effects from 'Line 6' products or some of my own hardware. Pretty much need humbucker pickups too for guitar.
There are effects that will take out noise. Lots of times you can use a parametric EQ to zero in on a frequency to cut it out...or at least dampen it so it isn't easily heard.
So I hope this info helps some.
I'll review some of your tunes shortly. At work now.

Randy

Hello Salkizer,

I appreciate you taking the time to listen to my lastest tune. I thank you for your kind comments. I am not sure I will make anymore of these as it isn't my normal genre of music that I enjoy.

I usually do country, rock or blues mostly. My young step-daughter talked me into it. ;-)
I will review your tunes in a day or so.
Thanks again,
Randy

Hello Spivkurl,

I want to thank you for reviewing my latest tune and your comments. Your message happen to come in while I was online. I guess when I was putting it together, I was trying for a Trance tune, but the drums I chose was called 'Techo hit'. So I suppose that is where some confusion comes in. Anyways, I think myself it came across pretty well and was my 1st of this type.

I appreciate your comments and will get to review some more of yours and others tunes as I have time.
Next week, I will be working for 45 days of 12 hours each, without a day off.
Randy

Hi Travis,

I appreciate your comments and listening to my latest song. I asked several people before I posted this tune and most agreed that it was more Techno.....so based on that, that is why I named it that way.
No matter to me so much as this type of music sounds nearly all the same to me. Probably my first and last of this type. :-) But I wanted to give it a shot.
I do appreciate you comments very much.

On another matter, On Facebook, I tried adding you as a 'friend' and no response yet as I believe you were recommended by someone else.

Thanks again,
Randy

Hey there Fila,

Thanks for being my first reviewer for this tune.
I appreciate your comments very much. I will review one of your tunes tomorrow after I get up.
This is the first time I have tried this genre and it was a bit work.
Ltr,
Randy

Hello d2d.

Thanks for reviewing this tune and the great comments you left. I apparently didn't get an e-mail notice about your review or else I would have replied long ago. Sorry about being so late. I'll review one of your tunes as well in kind.

There are a lot of tricks a person can use. It is a matter of just experimenting.

I am in the process of doing a 'Crunch' type tune now and that has the guitars panning and a phasing sound as well.

Thanks again for your review...

Randy

Hi there Pat,
Thanks for the comment and welcome to Looperman. I'd review a song of yours, but you haven't posted any, so let me know when you do and I'll be glad to review it.

I do a variety of music including Country, Rock, Metal. and Blues. Pretty much whatever I feel like doing.

Later...and thanks again,
Randy

Hello D2d,
Seems like I just left you a couple reviews. ha!

Anyways, I appreciate your comments about the funk mix. I can usually get any guitar sound I want thru the help of software VST's.

I can agree with you on the kick drum not standing out more. Sometimes you really just need to stand back and listen to the song the next day, and pretend it is the first time you've heard it, and make adjustments.

Thanks a lot for your comments, they are always very helpful.
Later,
Randy

Hello C69,

Thanks for taking the time to listen and review this tune. This as mentioned was an all loop made track. I love working with loops as they are usually already polished and measured to the proper time.
I have a couple other rock songs near this type, just can't think of their names right now and I don't want to steer away from this page while I am writing this.

Thanks again for your review and am glad you enjoyed it. I left you a review as well.
Randy

Hi Jfw,

Thanks for the nice review. I love this guitar sound myself as I am a country player by heart, but you wouldn't know it from the rock tunes I've put up mostly.
I did this tune partly for another fellow as he was making a tune as a joke song for his friend, and thus he used the beginning of the song as a lead in.
I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the listen and review.
Randy

Hi Chris,
Just happened to be awake and saw your message come in. Thanks for the review. Thank goodness for the Featured box. Otherwise, most of my stuff wouldn't get played.. lol
Randy

Hi there BCway,
Don't recall a review from you before, so I am glad I triggered something so that you'd write me one here.
I am thrilled you enjoyed this tune. I did it in 3 parts only because I was working on these 3 for a time and decided to bunch them together is all. I try and get a tune out once a month.

I see your up there in years as well and that is good that your still making music in one form or another. (Real or loop based)
The bagpipes you mention, I actually love the sound of them and thought they really sounded so unique. However, my interest in them never got me to buy any. Don't even know what they would cost?

I have a setting on my Korg M-3 for bagpipes, but it isn't that good actually. So maybe one of these days I'll put together a Celtic/Irish/Scottish type of tune and send it out. I already have some ideas that you'd probably like to hear. Myself, I guess I am English with a bit of everything else thrown in...so my grandmother says...like a stray dog.

So again, thanks a lot for your review and am also happy to hear that you have checked out some of my earlier tunes.
Randy

Hello there Chris,

Say, I appreciate you being one of the few...so far...that have left a review for me and I'll do the same for you after this.
Am glad you enjoyed this tune. I never made a Funk tune before....Blues, yes.

So I wanted to give it a try. The guitar tones are varied depending on what amp simulator I am using. I just got into Line6 VST's as they have many amps and cabs to choose from, plus all the known effects as well. Mix and match in any combo. Cost $99 tho for the non-professional package.
I have a lot of amp simulators already that came with my Pro Tools as well.....so I am just trying the Line6 stuff out.

Thanks for your review and for your great comments on the solo as well.
A Trance tune is next!

Randy

Hi there Dave,

I was hoping you'd take time to catch my latest funk tune. I don't really want to poll individual players whenever I produce a new tune. Makes it sound like I really need reviews. ;-)

But anyway, you found this one and I am glad you enjoyed it. The bass part, and actually all parts are necessary for a good Funk tune I guess from some others that I have heard. This was my first one and I wanted to make it stand out.

So I figured a good solid bass line with a clear tone would be nice. Fender has such a nice sound anyways, and so that is what you hear. (Precision Bass).
Then panning the other instruments and little guitar riffs here and there make it a 'busy' tune, but seems to work well together.

I have heard of James Brown's fast rhythm guitar, but I didn't want that type of sound for this one. (song #2)

Looperman has indeed helped me grow as a musician since my first country tune. Listening to other's tunes on here and getting feedback is important for growth. And.....reading several different books on Mastering and Audio in general has helped a lot to understand about the mechanics of audio.

I suppose I could go into Mastering others tunes, but I barely have time to get mine done because of working so much overtime.
Bye for now and thanks again for your nice review.
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
