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

Hi D2d,

Sorry for the very late reply. I have been working all my days off lately, and am slow in getting reviews back to people for this tune as there was quite a few.

I will listen to one of your tunes later today and give a review back as I am off and have more time. I appreciate your comments very much!
Randy

Hello DextDee,

Glad to have to stop by and listen to my latest tune. I hadn't seen your name before in any of my reviews, so that is cool to have a new person listen to my songs. I will review one of yours in a few minutes and give feedback in return.

As for the synths taking over the sound of the violins a little, that is quite possible and I appreciate your advice. However, I also wish to say if your listening to the song with tiny computer speakers, then it will sound a lot different than say, regular near field monitors speakers about 5 inches on up.

My Dell Laptop seems to compress the sound itself and it doesn't sound as good as it does with with bigger speakers. I have a subwoofer built into my laptop, but I doubt that it is much bigger than 1 inch in diameter from what I can see of it from the outside. :-)

Anyways, again, thanks for your review.
Randy in NY

Hello there Jahknow,

Thanks for stopping by. I don't believe I've seen your name before in any other of my other reviews. So if this is a first for listening to my tunes, then your very welcome to listen to whatever you like. :-)
Rock, Blues, Country is what I am into as I also play several different instruments.

I appreciate your comments on this tune and invite you to take a listen to 'Heavy Metal Highway' if you like heavy metal. I am NOT trying to advertize my tunes, but it's had over 500 plays, and some say it is the best they have ever heard for heavy metal. So you be the judge I guess. I am not really in to metal much either. I did it for a friend in Serbia.

I also play slide guitar and will feature a little in my next tune which will basically a Funk type tune. A 1st for me and maybe my last! :)

I will take a listen to your tunes as well and give you feedback. Can't this minute as I am at work.
Later then ....and thanks again for the nice review.
Randy

Hi BigPete,
I see you are you are following me around. I did this tune back in December. I wanted to try something different, so I came up with this. I used some loops as the header says, but it was still fun arranging it.

I think I might have told you I am working on a Blues/funk tune now that should be done by the end of the month. No wine before its time as they say.

Glad you enjoyed it and thank goodness for the featured section as my songs get more chances to be heard.
Randy

Hello there Tris,

Thanks a lot for listening/reviewing my latest track. As I mentioned in the description, I left the tune fairly empty so others could add vocals or some more lead. So go to it if your inclined to add to it.

I am a little behind in giving reviews back as far as listening to others tunes because of work....but be sure that I will review one of your tunes soon and give a review back to you.

Been working 12 hours a day lately and don't have much energy left to do much when I get home. (I am at work now in fact, but can't listen to tunes here easily).

Thanks again,
Randy

Hello there Frenchkid,

I appreciate you coming by and checking out my tunes. I don't recall seeing your name before so welcome!
I see your from Nice, France. I was stationed in Metz and Toul, France for 2 years in the Army Quite an experience for me.

I am glad you enjoyed this blues medly. The other one I did was an acoustic one with very slow slide guitar.
I do a variety of music as I had my own band and we played Country, Rock, Pop and some Blues....so my other tunes here will reflect all this.

I will check out your songs and give a review back in a day or so.
Thanks again,
Randy

Hi again Sob Story,

Thanks for stopping by my corner of Looperman.
I appreciate your comments very much and hope you'll check out all my tunes eventually...as I try and put a quality mix together, and sounds in all my tunes.

Vocals are welcome to any of my tracks.

I have 2 Korg keyboards that have awesome sounds in them and I am trying to put more of synth sounds into my music these days.
My last song.."Rock This Way" was one of the first.

So again, I appreciate your review and yes...there are quite a few very good musicians on here.. As I see now....there are 182,385 members. Not all have songs loaded up, but there are 21,090 tracks available for your listening pleasure. ;)))

Randy

Hello Sob Story,

Glad to have you check out my tunes. I appreciate the review as well and will checkout your songs and give a review back. At the moment, I am about 2 weeks behind because of work. It is 2:45am now even.

The guitar distortion can be achieved via several ways. To get the type of amp sound you want, Line6 company has RTAS or VST software that you can get with hundreds of combinations of ampfliers and speaker cabs and all kinds of effects combined in any order. Cost about $99.

Much better sound than you can get at home with your own amp....plus you don't keep the neighbors awake. :-)

Also, EQ and Compression will do a lot for distortion sounds.

Thanks again,
Randy

Hello Martin,

I appreciate you coming by and giving my song a listen and a review.
I'll see about making more tunes of this nature (Country)

I haven't done any surf type songs yet....but I may in the future.
Thanks again,
Randy

Hi there M........!
I appreciate your review and will return the favor shortly for sure.
I am glad it brought back some memories for you.

Thanks again,
Randy

Hello sir,
Thank you so much for listening and reviewing my Van Halen mix tune. I don't believe I have seen your name review any of my previous tunes, so your certainly welcome.

Shortly, I will review one of your tunes and give you feedback as well.

Mixing 2 tunes togather isn't easy and I have heard it done only a few times before. But now and then you hear a song and say to yourself, "now that sounds like another song I am familiar with", and thus the idea is born of trying to mix 2 songs together. That's what happened here.

Thanks again,
Randy

Hi there BigPete,

Hey man, I appreciate your comments very much. As you have listened to my past earlier music, you can see how I am learning and progressing as time goes on.
It certainly is fun and enjoyable to listen to the final outcome after many takes and experimenting of what will fit and what won't.

I am geting up there in years and am relying on looping more as my fingers slow down. Many tunes I make, are originally slower as I create the 'tricky parts', and then I decide upon a tempo for the final output.

Thanks again for your review and I appreciate your comments always.
Randy
