dimestop

hello my good friend, thankyou for your words, you too are inspiring to me and i'm not just saying that as some follow up for yours, i like genuine people, you are a genuine man, i would never really listen to religious music but i am drawn to you, you are real you bring the same message and are clear about your beliefs, i try to bring hurt, thats just me, i'm busy working on 4 good stories the lyrics are possibly some of the best i've wrote and one is a collab with Cyber his music, i will keep doing it my way and i ask you to keep doing you, i commented on a great track you mixed for, i forgot but is was fire, nice to see U collabing the joy is so much better working with others because you have to compromise, because its about the track, not the individual, your a team and the big fella gets a mention in one too, i will be truthful, i only included because of my relationship with you and it rhymes and its a fire 10 words, and you will appreciate it more now i have told you, nothing disparaging either :) in-fact it was a must lol, i'm on your fresh later

sorry for the late reply bro, i've not been about much, thanks for the kind words too, as you know we all seemed to of had troubles the last 10 month, or our music behaviour changed and discord sort of stopped, but i'm getting back into now, new ideas and flow too, try keep watching, of course we will eventually get round to collabing me and your bro's only track we have collabed on done really well it was warmly received by the community and had a bag of listens and comments and i love a collab, so yeah we will, we were gonna do something on Discord if i remember, then things changed for me and i dropped music, so defo young man talk to your bro and tell himm to mail me some ideas and sample beat, i will then bring my ideas and we can create something fresh, couple of solo's each and an 8 bar killer each too, lol

thankyou for your kind words PaperKup i put seriously hard work into writing more than anything although i do like playing keys and making beats and since i returned from a 10 month break, your an artist that as impressed me with your cinematic work, thanks again for your time, its appreciated

thanks bro, its funny because i do get anxious about somethings but not my voice its the one i've got, not much i can do, lol, i find it easier to sing or rap about something cos i god dam wouldn't talk about it openly, but your comment is nontheless inspirational, if people enjoy their listen is what counts. i'm glad you had a great one, i also see you have fresh up so i'll be taking a listen

fanis thankyou for your kind words and your time is appreciated listening and commenting, and reading inspirational comments gives you the inspiration to carry on thanks again for giving me your time

thanks bro, i watched your youtube the other day, i don't forget a good lad, thanks for your kind comment, i have a few new ideas

thanks for your kind words Richard, as you know i put a lot of work into lyric writing, lots come from personal experience or from close friends experience and i try to write clarity with subjects many can identify with easily and to be truthful as a young lad i was confident but not so much these days but being able to put my thoughts and feelings into song or rap, i can be heard because i probably wouldn't talk about things in a conversation and i'm far more relaxed about music too, ive spent quite alot of money upgrading lately and still have a few things i'm still planning to add, new midi and new mic, so you know my commitment is there my good friend, i'm hoping to improve more and do a few collabs, yeah bruv i will eventually do one with you, so we can show our contradicting beliefs in the best way explaining why we can believe differently but still enrich each others lifes :))
you carry youself well too Mr Shekari thats exactly why you have become a firm friend within the community, manners cost nothing but go a long way irrelevant of your standing in life and as everyone says the truth hurts

thanks for your words Anthony i'm always trying to stretch myself new genres as it is great vocal practise and i always try to write from my heart, i have so much locked in there and it comes out in lyrical form, as i probably wouldn't be brave enough to talk about things, i'd feel too anxious but i get my release from singing or rapping them and sharing them with my colleagues here helps relieve the stress i carry lol

thanks for your time DanMed, i had a really good time putting this together, thanks for the listen and comment, its appreciated

Aaron i have always loved your individual music talent and your support of other artists, i'm also sure with your skillset you could put a good vocal together and get it to sound on point, Reggae i love, old school more, and although i never ever sing in public not even karaoke when i was dancing on the holiday camps when i was younger, i did get up in one of the pubs, a little pissed and i grabbed the DJ mic and started to toast on smiley cultures Cockney Translation, showing my age lol, the places was packed, everybody started singing it back it felt mint lol the DJ said keep going the places is banging, my one and only concert only one track though cos i wanted another pint lol. i enjoyed my try on this

its always great to see the avatar of my fellow city dweller, i'm honoured to have you stop by bruv and your comment is just inspiring as always

hi Rita, thats right went all Blues because of you inspiring it and sparking an idea, i did try a few higher peaks in places, rock and roll might be a struggle lol but you never know, i still want to do a punk number and another rock track but dimestop will always pop up with his attitude

glenn i thankyou again for gracing me your time, i've tweaked a few things for a better finish and your spot on about it being a tough genre, especially singing wise and as i have no experience of Blues, i thought it was a decent effort considering the voice is forefront and open to critique, which i have no issues with either as long as it's constructive

Kay before we heard you sing, you were and probably are still a poet, i remember Oli mentioning it, so you know how important finding the right words are, and then getting them heard as you want, i thought there was good emotion in this delivery and people tend to compliment my raw emotion, i don't really know how to do anything but, lol, thanks for your kind words
i've just uploaded a better master

thankyou, i'm no blues fan myself really, its ok, but Rita gave me the spur to try it, i really liked the lyrical content i wrote I thought it fitted well, the mix and volume levels have now been altered and i'm much happier with it. thanks again for your inspiring comment, it does,t sound bad on speaker either lol

cheers Robin, it needs a few adjustments, minor tweaks, volume wise, i'll have a look later, but overall i'm happy with it song wise, i'm chuffed you got a 60's 70's vibe i want it to sound older not modern day

thanks for the check bro, most people including all my friends loved this vocal its certainly not overpowered, the music is bright my vocal reflects that brightness, there is 7 layers of my voice on this all different not one of the volumes are above 43% and it measure -10 on the LUFS mastered -9 to -12 is what to aim for thats standard, my limiter isn't even registering nothing is in the red so i can't understand the overpowered, i'm good with it because all the plugins are in their sweet area not one is above 50% and bro i'm certainly not offended by your comment either lol, i'm just explaining what i can see on my meters and they will always be my guide because thats what they are made for lol

hello Aaron thanks for your kind words bro, i don't know what to call my style either, when i first started as you know, i wrote good lyrics but always sang them tongue in cheek, mostly rap but Manuela changed that and my mindset when she sent me Warriors, i started to take it more serious, stretch myself vocally and keep going, my timing was awful my voice was rag and then more coaching from Manu, i'll never be lionel Richie lol, but i know i've improved because even my kids say your 10 times better than a couple years ago, i'm currently working on 2, not in my DAW yet, but they all prepped to go, rap banger next, then a massive soul blues i'm excited about, inspired by Rita's attempt bro, im going all teddy swims lol,

thanks for the listen Richard, your time is appreciated, my friend, i will be checking your latest out a little later thanks again for the listen and comment

thanks you bro, means more than you know, i loved the comment but one word stood out 'original' thankyou, so much, thats what its about originality to a rapper lol, wait for the next on :)) the old heads will know exactly whats coming

cheers mate, ive got another one next but it's a bit harder, bad language and manners, who me? never :)))
i love the guitar, and i mean the instrument, i know you play, i really need to buy me one, i don't play but if i buy one i will learn, i have alot more music theory now notes chords key scales and i think i could learn bits quicker, i have a few friends who play guitar,
i was one handed keyboard playing when i started here, im now two handed and 10 fingered, still shit, but just look pro lol' nah i do sound alot better my mate was stunned when i played him a piece i wrote because i just started to jam and play with the keys 6 mins non stop he was like wow

thanks Anthony, your comment is really nice mate, you have always greeted me and my work with warmth and that warmth is inspiring to me and keeps me motivated in music, along with a number of others here i consider you an established artist and i'm just getting to know the new faces that joined in my absence, it is a little different and a lot quieter but i'm ok with that as i am not about as much as before, the electric guitar seems to be well liked too, thanks for your time bro it's always appreciated

hello Mrs, i was quite happy with this vocal chain its a keeper me thinks,i got a lot more choice plugin wise for vocals emphasis and luxverb are two new ones for me, they are top notch my engineering has improved also, I'm far more expierienced now, i don't just wing it,i feel like i know what i'm doing. i know what i want sound wise and i feel like i can get close tomit now.
byetheway, you inspired me your blue's numbers, i heard a great track on youtube and i'm gonna have a go, its massive for me, its my teddy swims moment, just wait its less teddy swims more dime sings but i am really positive about it soul blues, yrah baby

thankyou Dan i love the guitar too, dimestop is my alter-ego, he is a big headed get, and bullies me to let him lose, i put a lot into my lyrical work my strongest point some would say is songwrting, if you get a chance check out Hydrosphere its in my profile a collab with Danke, now that is a guitar, one of my best too lol rock, and me being hip=hop all day long :)

thanks Kay, when i recently upgraded everything i lost lots of my saved vocal chains so need to work hard to get some new ones collected as they are great for work flow if you only have to tweak or disable
