appreciate your time mate, thanks for the listen and comment, i actually started because the vocal loops here are all wet, i wanted dry, so i wrote a song and everyone said, i had good lyrics , i done it tongue in cheek, bit of a laugh, I've never ever sang not even karaoke. but I've done OK here, so i just never stopped, thanks again Worthingtonshireson, great name bro

its got no AI mate, i had a go and its not me. its up to the individual, i want to be more creative than pressing a button lol. i just purchased FL key61 midi-board and an audio interface, that shows my commitment to me hopefully improving everything and it'll be me no AI, I'm defiantly with you on that, your to good to try it mate your always a worthy listen, great work.

hi Aaron, life is just busy at the moment and i haven't done anything for about a month, i've just turned 60 so had a few celebrations, bought the FLkey 61 midi it fantastic and Im getting an audio interface and better mic XLR. hopefully everything will sound even better when i work it all out lol, i need to find time to bring fresh, Ive got some good tracks wrote too but work and life in general are just too busy, thats why this as been up a month, hope to get something down soon

hello Matthias, I put alot of work into this, Im enjoying myself far more these days, my set up is looking good and the rest i just keep improving hopefully, thanks for your support it is always a pleasure to here from you

thanks for the check bro, your time and listen are appreciated

thanks nooribeats and welcome to the community, i'll look forward to checking your work and dropping a comment, thanks for the stop off

thankyou glenn, i had good fun with this, it was a good day when things i added or changed sounded better each time, we all have them, its far better than banging your head cos you can't get things how you want, this turned out better than i imagined

Bro so good to see you, you picked up on the funny, I have learnt silly things cut through better and hit harder than a F U, i had a duck squeak in one not so long ago lol, but i put a lot into the vox and spent days just on the layout, then 4 lots of vocal to change, it turned out ok tbf, thanks for checking it, appreciated bruv

its dimestop bro, but i can see how that mistake was made so no hard feelings thanks for checking it

thanks for the inspiring comment Cosmo, it keeps the motivation stirring and I appreciate your listen and your time in commenting, thankyou

my bruv, thankyou so much, words are a gift, I happened to find I had a bit of a talent and could write a good lyric, words used correctly with passion and belief also stir emotions in others, like your feeling towards our lord, thats how i feel about beats, if you deliver it correctly and its believable others will relate to it too.
I just reel stories of my 60 years and what I've seen, we are no different brother, we only tell our stories, thanks for your support

thanks Angel, i had a real good go at this one, i do far less tracks now and try to bring quality as apposed to quantity, I still love to write tho' I've bought a good bit of kit too, my engineering as improved massively which also helps, music makes me feel happy inside and out and my passion is still as big, this community are part of my passion too, theres a bag full off talent
I'm just a little less often these days but its all good, thanks for a great comment

thanks for the check bro, the grinding never stops just at an easier pace these days, in other words, slower lol, this was good fun

ok Jared, i enjoyed this one and thought it was mixed well too, its had a good response which is always a positive and keeps the motivation ticking, Ive had a few quickies myself and had great results, but i put the work in on the vox big time with this, thanks for the stop

thanks bruv, as Artist we are all creative in our own ways, we know what we want and we set out to achieve it. but sometimes we do better than we thought, we've all had them good days, this was one of them for me,
i done the vox, it was ok, i done another vox 2 days later a Friday evening, on saturday morning, i done it again and on the sat evening i opened my Daw and done another bloody vocal, then started the production, so theres 4 voxs on this, each are layered 4x, all slightly different fx, then stacked on top of each other, i used very little compression, couple of verbs, hall and plate and 2 delays, but i spent about a week on and off on the vox and ad-libs production, i think the quality shows, i was thrilled with it :-)

lol, I had an absolute ball on this bro, massive smile on my face, it turned out better than i thought, cheers for the stop

MPO your listen and comment is appreciated, thankyou

thanks for the stop Bear, i was really pleased with the finished product, possibly the best i've achieved in terms of layout and engineering, I'll never say perfect because it leaves no room for improvement but i know now in my own mind of what I'm trying to achieve and Im a gonna roll with it :-)

thanks bro, i appreciate your time

thankyou Fanis, i appreciate every listen and comment my friend, but it gets harder, trying to keep the level high or better than the previous, but i keep pushing, that's why we do it,eh, if it were easy, i would of probably not took it this far lol

Frans so nice to have you listen, i always post the lyric sheet so it can be translated, I'm not ignorant to the fact lots of my listeners are not native English speakers, i want you to understand the story and the depth of the words, i took English at college too, got 'A level' qualification :-))
Actual my accent isn't Brummie, I'm a Smoggie (Google it lol) I'm from the North-East of the UK, closer too Scotland than Brum, Edinburgh is 1 hours drive, 3 hours to Birmingham, i married a Brummie and lived here since 21 after i finished the Holiday camps. my kids and Grandkids are all Brummies and yeah I've picked up a bit tho, so your not totally wrong lol
your spot on about the vox, that's were the time was spent

hello Anthony, thanks for your constant support. I enjoy what i do far more now as I've got a much better workflow, my preparation is the same, just the way i do things is different. i have pictures in my head of what i want to achieve and how I want to run my project but i felt i never really got everything i wanted, or as I pictured most times, even tho the tracks performed well.
But this time I got my 100% well i think it probably hit 105% i was so happy with the final master, possibly my last 4 tracks have all been pretty close in terms of vocal mix and layout. i would say I'm more consistent because I've stayed within my comfort zone with rap, now i do multiple takes on vox and engineer each one different, i can have up to 20 layers to get this type of result and the clarity is what has struck me most, sometimes i thought i sounded muddy even when others didn't say, thanks again mate, your worth a good reply and always will be
