dimestop

hello Chris, hope your well mate, thanks for the nice comment, yes both the Focusrite and Shure 5M58 are great pieces of kit and make a difference to the quality of the sound that outputted, i am really pleased with these purchases, thanks again

hey Morgan, nice to see you bro, I'm not sure what happened with that collab we were all gonna do, but if you are ever interested in working together just let me know, I do rate you bruv, my set up is sweet now all pro gear, I encourage collabs because I think it fantastic for community cohesion, thanks for stopping off

thanks for your lovely comment Tripple, your right life sometimes gets in the way of the things you love doing, but if its not paying the bills, you have to concentrate on the things that do, i never got into music for the money, i have friend who made millions in the 70's in a big band for me it was more to do with unburdening some of the weight from hurt i carry and it worked better than any medication i was prescribed when i started to write my own songs and it gave me the relief i was looking for, that's why this community feels special to me, because it allows me to be me, it embraced me and I made many friends, this will always be the place I call home when it comes to music and I appreciate every artist who gives me their time as that is a valueable commodity that belongs to somebody else and they have chosen to spend some of it with you and its limitless talent is inspirational for everyone if you take part

thanks for the wonderful comment glenn, I am really happy you of all people like the guitars, i don't play guitar but so wish i could, I think its possibly a little late for me to learn now, but you never know, you are one of our finest here @LM so that meant a lot
if I had to listen to an instrument played solo it would be guitar and I'd be cheeky and ask if they could get glennwhite to play it for me lol,
thanks again bruv

thanks for the stop off and comment, its truly appreciated, i love the guitar too it's probably my favorite of all instruments and when it's got a spanish sound it's even better, thanks Mindway

thankyou Chris, now you introduce yourself, I feel i can use your name now lol, your experience and feedback are welcomed, I'm still really learning the best ways I was a complete novice 6 years ago a looper, its only the last few years I started doing more myself and started to invest in kit a better interface and mic. I have a dedicated air button to bring the vox forward, but the vox were recorded loud i could take a few db off lol, it was my first go with it all, with tweaks I'll improve the levels but I created a loud artist, now i can't shed him lol, thanks your time its appreciated

thankyou Richard, the upgrade has really improved the finish i can now put out and i was pleased with the results here, things will get better as I use them more too, thanks for the constant support and lifting comments

thanks for the stop off Critical, its good to be back and hopefully no more long breaks, I'm totally happy now with my set up and i do love our community here

Chris so sorry i missed this comment, i pride myself on replying to anybody that gives me their time, so I'm very annoyed with myself,
i had so much fun on this, i think it was the thumping beat and bass, i delivered it tongue in cheek with a huge smile on my face, i really got on the vibe, the great thing with finding music is you sometimes find your true self and maybe talents you never knew you had, I do like minimalist believe it or not, dimestop is the bloody extravagant noise in my head tho, thanks for the listen

thanks for stopping sounders the new gear has worked out great and i will continue to get better results with new tweaks to it, I'm a bit of a fly writer i get ideas i pen a vocal, i have probably 6 at the minute then i'll make a beat or better still a colleague makes something fire, which i much prefer, i will jump on it if it creates a stir and the vibe I have, well we joined to learn and share collaberating brings far more to your game, you also learn to compromise too and take on board other ideas people see that you don't.
paul is not dime I created a braggard rapper to be controversial, but everyone liked him, so it didn't go exactly to plan, the story behind this track is really a broke ass rapper making out he's makin from the industry when all his rivals are spending just to get a foot in the door, go ahead press the play key

thanks for the listen and comment bro your words are appreciated thanks

thanks Rita, appreciate you stopping by, the production quality is far better, you get a much bigger sound, to answer your question on my other post , the interface is the Focusrite scarlet solo, its a good brand with a huge dynamic range and you can plug a guitar in the front too, there is lots to choose from at many different price points but it makes a big difference, you notice immediately. I also have all my speakers run through it, and it has a headphone socket too, with a dedicated volume button i had to buy a few 1/4 inch TRS cables but the sound quality is amazing, it's good to be back Mrs

Fanis, i appreciate your support my friend, the upgrade will bring better results, i thankyou for your constant support of me and the other artist in our community too, this place would be nothing without its community, thanks for the listen

hi Mark, thanks for the comment its not me playing its vst an loops, i'm still playing with it to see what its capable of but its an amazing piece of kit i rarely use a mouse cos the midi does all that now too, its got all the transport buttons all linked to the daw so its seamless, but i will be producing my own music on it and sequencing the beats eventually. im in no rush, i have i good set up now, trying to find time is the issue as you will obviously know yourself.
yes Shure are a great brand and the SM58 is a classic mic, to be truthful Mark i do this as a hobby like most of us but like i say if your gonna do something like music do the best you can and if that means buying extra equipment to make it better than why not a few hundred pound investment as taken my finish to a higher standard its not exactly breaking the bank either lol. we love this #####.

the speakers are amazing 50W with 120dB dynamic range so loud yet crystal clear and the bass is fantastic the mids cut through and the top end is sharp and bright, so i assume the headsets deliver great sound too. Im about to buy AKG K92 studio headset for mixing and production they are highly rated, so as you can see I'm still committed to it and our community

thanks for the check Flawless, everything sounds good my end its not left sided there is three sets of vox on this, lead vocal is central the two other vox overlays are both panned one 18% left and the over 17% right, i appreciate you takin a listen bro

thankyou bro really appreciate the comment, I'm gonna download your track later and put a vocal on it, i have had a certain track penned for some time but its personal and the music has to be right, I aint come up with nothing yet and heard nothing i think is worthy but Kiana is its a lovely piece and I think it could be a good track, thanks again Asociale, its great to have you in the community too bro, I'll be in touch

how are you bro, its nice to be back about give your kid a bump from me too, I'll catch up with him soon enough tho, i looked at the Arturia and the midi board keylab mk3 myself its good. i was going to purchase the Arturia keylab midi before i plunged for the FL Key 61 instead, it was a no brainer for me my daw is FL so its seamless integration and i got it at a great price too, similar to when a bought my Daw i was about to buy, but something came up and i went out bought it the following day but a 30% off sale had started so got the daw at 70% cost. used the same tactic buying the midi got that at 70% too what a bonus and saving that was roughly £160 cheaper.
I would also be honored to have a verse with the squad, we may never meet but we all bros.
i did hear yours with the vintage team it was great, although i wasn't about, i did pop in occasionally just for a listen a couple of times, it was to keep showing myself what i was missing lol

thanks Kay, i'm really happy with my upgrades and Im happy to be back in the community i have missed you lot but Im finding time again after a busy couple of months, thanks for the stop off and coomment, much appreciated.

Hi Franz, you were the inspiration behind this track so to hear your honored is the icing on the cake for me, rhyme like a waterfall of words thats what you wrote on crazy, i take inspiration from words others say about me, its not the first time either, Manuela once wrote, you even sound great on my ##### i-pod
my next track had the lines

I know your all listening
I sound great
even on your #####
listening equipment

I was actually watching Masterchef on TV while penning this track, so thats were one of the verses came from too, you have to be imaginative when writing lyrics to standout, and what better way to standout than shouting out your friends and colleagues, your all great artists, keep giving inspiration broski

thanks Anthony, the new gear is a big plus as i have 120 dB dynamic range from the interface, the speakers are absolutely fantastic the sound is loud but crystal clear, the more a play with the gear the better the output will be, I appreciate your lovely comment as always

thanks for the check and comment Robin your time is always appreciated mate

thanks for the check Dan, should be around on a regular basis now I have everything I need

everyday is a school day in music production Steven, you never stop learning the deeper you delve the goodies you find are tastier, joining LM has got to be one of my best decisions, not because its a superb platform, because its not, it has its limitations , but because of its people, thats what makes it worthwhile, i was looking for release from life, a way to express how i was feeling, I've been thro a lot, I tried many things to no avail but music production changed everything when i opened up and met our people I found the real me, from tongue in cheek delivery, chipped software and loop packs to a pro set up, all paid for with hard graft and my way of paying back to something that has given me so much happiness, I'm not just still hungry Steven, I'm starving lol

thanks for the great comment Cru, you do know i consider you as a huge influence on me, from my very early stages you encouraged me to push it further, you said i had something special that I didn't even see, just needs time to flourish keep learning thats what you told me. Im still learning brother but I got a real pro set up now and Im bringing more polished tracks.
6 years ago i was a loop jockey now i do it all myself, thanks to you Steven, your comments have always inspired me, as you can read Im really happy to see you and read you think I've improved, your a top lad

thankyou for your lovely comment, with a name like yours, i instantly knew there had to be a story so i checked your profile.
i watched a special on TV couple years ago, it showed a pile of fresh vegatables, opposite were 5 bigger piles that was to be thrown away pulped rotted and animal feed supermarkets refuse it if its misshaped looks like a ##### and balls etc, perfectly fine to eat j
Its just wasted. and the most stupid thing is its gets diced to cook, normal people like us dont give a ##### what it looks like raw shopping would be a better laugh tho,, disgusting ##### at the top, there is starving people everywhere, the powers dictate its all about cash they dont care about the hungry, i with you on that
