Very extremist song...I'm a bit confused...the music is 10/10 but I don't feel metaled voice here...he's got some dark, gothic tone and it doesn't fit for the blues/rock's warm mood...others are perfect...
LOl thanks for listening and commenting Danke. I am not really a Metal fan, but I thought I try it out. In any case, since I uploaded it I read a few comments and I have adjusted the song a little, maybe now it is a little better. But I appreciate your comments very much! Thanks, TG
Hey Silverman, sorry for the late reply...should do better I know. You know, I am listening to so many types of music, it is hard even for me to tell where the influence comes from. But it's all rocknroll and I like it ;)
Thank you for the detailed reply to my comment! It helps me to know that I was not just trippin out, and that there were in fact some mp3 components to the mix. The guitar sounded top notch to me, so you should feel good about that right away regardless of any other aspects. I think that the vocals, and the cymbals and snare were the main areas where I noticed the mp3 aspect of thing... though my ears may be fooling me. I don't really know how my ears have help up this well over the years... had a whole bunch of head injuries, plus years of very loud concerts and stereo use, then the playing of instruments and mixing. The listening and commenting on looperman has definitely helped me tune my ears, since it's nearing 6000 songs now. I find I notice it much more when mp3 and uncompressed is mixed together, rather than, for example, a wav mix of all uncompressed sources being compressed to mp3 for playback. I do however occasionally use mp3 source for very short voice clips, when I have no other source available. I think I turn off a lot of collaboration, as I am very strict about uncompressed audio to work with. I know it sounds like ego to say that it isn't worth my time, but it is more like obsessive/compulsive feeling involving music which bears my name. Not good, not bad, just what I try to restrict myself to. And, this song is totally cool, no matter the sources! I love hearing some real instruments, and people who know how to use them. It was fun to hear it again! I'm going to fave this now!
Mate last track reviewed for today, good track to finish with especially with the matter (vocals)of the track covers, everything sounds on point from this end TG, sad feeling back this one for sure, well to me it has anyways, have to agree with Spiv about the different sound of the genre then what you usually get here on the loop, second track heard today doing reviews a hiphop track with a big difference being more of a RnB type of sounding instrumental with the rap, great to hear...Fav...Peace n Respect...mosaic...
Hey Mosaic, sorry it took a while to answer, was caught up in stuff... yes the guys love a bit of hiphop but we are basically rocknroll, so we combine it as good as we can. And Hemanifezt, whose rap we used, he is unique, as he is so effortless it makes it easy. I am not one to never swear, but it is nice that he can do songs without going bitch ho n-wordall the time. Anyway, I hope we will do another one soon :) Thanks for listening mate!
This is real music, I'm working on a project for an album that is yet to be released, the sound is psychedelic R&B with pop elements, and I'm asking for your permission and I'll credit you and you can listen to it and I am interested to use this track for a duet that I'm planning on recording with a friend of mine, I know the album would take a while just wanted to share my ideas.
Sorry it took so long to reply, was busy busy busy. Thanks for listening, and great that you like the track. If someone wants to add to our music, isn't that the biggest compliment? Regarding the other issue, I am sending you a private message in a minute. Thanks, TG
This is pretty well written and composed rock song! I'm enjoying it! I'm curious about this feature of wikiloops... does it allow for uncompressed audio file transfer? I can't help but think that some of the stems in this were using some sort of compression (ie mp3, ogg or whatever). I may be wrong though. I only ask, because it seems that there are a lot of missing frequencies in the tracks. It may be something totally unrelated though. I like all the performances in this though, and it's cool to hear some "real" music on the Loop. Thank you for sharing this! Great work!
Hey man, thanks for listening and commenting, sorry it took so long to answer...workworkwork
When I read your question, I have to say I was first WTF, how did you notice but then having listened to a few of your tracks in the past months it is clear to me that you have n exceptionally good ear! At wikiloops you can upload an MP3, but also your single Instrument track in HD quality. Generally people just upload an mp3, and others add to it, and slowly the quality goes down. When we do a band project we try to have at least good quality single tracks. As we are not really comercial, most of the time a single instrument in 320 MP3 is enough to get a reasonable song mix in the end. Now for this specific song, I recorded my guitar through a VOX multieffect straight into the analogue mic socket of my old computer, so I have a pretty dirty sound. The vocals were recorded on a Boss BR1200 with an AGK 310 microphone, but came to me as an MP3. The drum tracks were mostly HQ. But in addition to that, I do the mixing and I am not that experienced so it could be that I have overdone some filters. And I am an old biker with too many years of loud music and loud bikes, ears are fucked :). Anyway, you should pay wikiloops a visit, it's not a bad place for jamming. TG
Your Blending Of Different Music Genres is Very Unique And Astounding. I Love That Guitar Played In The Track. The Female Vocals Were Very Elegant And Clear. All I'd Say Is That The Rapper Seems Like He Is Slightly Off Beat. But It's Still Pretty Good, Lyrically And How He Flowed.
If You Wouldn't Mind Checking Out My Track "When I'm Gone" And Leaving Some Feedback I'd Really Appreciate That. Keep Up The Good Work.
Hey Billion, thanks for listening and commenting, appreciate it! I think this was the first rap track I did, and the timing issue you mentioned is down to me, not the rapper Hemanifezt. He is innocent ;) . I will check your track for sure! TG :)
Hey this is pretty sweet, and an intense ride! Since you ask about genre, although I have little experience with music in this specific mutation, it sounds most suited to psychedelic or possible fusion to my ears. It isn't that important of course. Your guitar work is impressive and refreshing to hear, in this time of virtual everything. It was jamming and fun! My cat had an upchuck accident while the song was playing, but I don't how that is relevant... ha ha. I liked hearing this very much! Fave!
LOl I almost had an accident myself reading about your cat, made my day :D :D :D . Thanks for your input, I guess psychedelic is probably right, I mean I grew up on late 60ies music, and I do like to incorporate weird sounding scales... Thanks man :)
Hey there mate, interesting track!...finding a suitable genre category is a complicated process these days, it was way easier 30 years ago! lol anyway I digress, sounds very reminiscent of plenty of jams I was involved with back in the day and possesses that free flowing element you just don't hear in most modern music, it's great to see some actual 'played' music where the variance degree is dialled right up and the predictability level is dialled right down, enjoyed it from start to finish with some cool changes happening....nice one man! cheers Dave
Pete is spot on with the Belew reference with a hint of Fripp. Your work on guitar work is awesome. Then at 2:12 that little melody line, was just exquisite. Loved the ethnic percussion underneath. But the melodies were awesome. Favd for sure. great work and a great listen.
Cru
Hey Cru, see what I wrote to Pete below, both of you are so kind in your comments. I can't deny that Fripp is a great influence, although I can't play any of his stuff. 21st Century Schizoid Man is a song I love, always listen to it, that guitar sound...and the distorted vocals...yes! So thanks for listening and the lovely comments!
Certainly a good blend of genres, funk, rock and world music sound most prevalent to me. The ending is where I hear the ethnic vibe.
The guitars sound great and well played. They carry the feel of the track as it progresses through it's changes. The wah wah has the '70's funk feel, I should get one of those. The world music part at 2:00 the gits are clean and that sound is used a lot in world music.
Are you mic'ing an amp when recording the guitars? Sounds like they are, you get a real good guitar sound.
Hey Wayne, thanks for listening and commenting, much appreciated! If you would see my recording setup you would laugh, it consists of my Fender Strat with probably 2 year old strings, a "Vox Tonlab ST" multieffect (it has a built-in tube to get a warm sound), and from there I go with a simple guitar cable directly into the microphone socket of my 10 year old Acer notebook... and my sofa - where I do all the work :D . So in a way it is very analogue-ish :) ---
I use Cubase 8 to record, but I hardly ever use any of the effects on the guitar, usually it all comes from the Vox. It has a built in Wahwha pedal (or you can configure it to use as an expression pedal etc, , and the great thing about it is that I can save up to 50 settings. So if I were to play live and I wanted any of the sounds on this song, all I need is a "clean" amp, plug the Vox in and I got it. For me the Vox is great, it an do a lot of sounds and effects.
But, I am thinking of getting a mic and record the Vox through a small amp - this would probably add another "live" dimension to it.
You make it sound as I did something on purpose - the truth is I started just riffing with the wahwah, and then I got this 8 bar sequence down, which was a little tricky as I tried to gently squeeze the wah pedal all the way in one direction during the "chackachakcka" bit - (the "instinct" is to go up and down). Then I did the second wahwah loop, and once these were down I built up the song, adding bits and pieces. Then when the drums came in I asked Raymond to do another track of percussion, and gave him a link to some drumming I thought would fit. He did something completely different, but actually much better. Same with the bass. I had something totally different in mind, but Brian insisted on something else - which was not less good by all means - and I just mixed it. So it came out totally different from what I wanted - but I love it - it is better than I could have imagined :)
Thanks for listening, and thanks for your kind remarks, that made MY day :)
Thanks man, appreciate your comments. Yes a lot of things mixed in there, all more or less "happened". You can read how it happened in my reply to Mildperil.
If Frank Zappa went the blaxpotation music route he would have sounded like this.
Despite the use of several sounds from different sources,the track is really well balanced.
Glad i downloaded your track.
Road Trip To Casablanca
Thanks for sharing
Man, I love the Zappa comment, you made my day :D. Big fan of his, I wish I had the talent of the tip of his mustache :D . Thanks for listening and commenting, and glad you enjoyed it. TG
Thought have a listen and see if can help with what your not sure abouts :) first off nice clean mix, from listening it nearly fits the rock genre, but does seem like a couple of genre's blended further into the track funk being one of them, so maybe the fusion genre? Title wise MAYBE (Long Day At The Office)??? Anyways mate nice work on this one, enjoyed the listen very much...Fav...mosaic...PS Hope helped a little...
I dont know what genre to place it in but it sounds very good. A lot of funky sounds and very solid grooves. Love the electric guitar in it. The break is very warm and welcome. Great stuff!
