TheFemiFactor, yes, looking through it all brought back a lot of good memories and found a lot of stuff I've forgot about. Thank you for the listen and comment. =)

Your support has been so sweet Paul. I really appreciate you taking the time to check out my music. =D

I understand Rita. And I appreciate you still take the time to listen and comment. Means a lot to me. =D

Well, a bit of advice. BACK UP YOUR HARD DRIVES! A few years ago, I lost about 10 years of material in one horrible moment. It was a good thing I had my finished tunes and sample library backed up. But I still lost a lot of unfinished, potential material and ideas. I cried.

Didn't take me long to clog up my hard drives once more, but as you know, it takes time. Thankfully I'm back to normal now.

Thank you for your super nice comment M.T. =)

Eres tan elocuente. Siempre encuentras las perfectas palabras para dar aliento. Te lo agradezco mucho sirefox. =D

I used to have a soundcloud page full of stuff but I deleted it in a fit of frustration lol. I just started another one. Besides that I haven't really 'released' much. Tried a few tracks on Bandcamp and it's a no go, maybe not patient enough. So besides a couple family members, no one else listens to my stuff.

Might as well be that way. I'm to lazy to 'promote' and too inconsistent to cater to an audience. I don't know, feedback from unbiased ears is hard to find and I'm a bit insecure about my ability, lacking that.

So, in short, yes... this stuff is just sitting on a hard drive. Sorry for the rant, but you got me thinking lol

Thanks for the nice comment and the fav, really appreciated bringer. Always nice to hear from you. And I'm really enjoying your lofi. Let me know if you get your stuff out on YouTube. Would love to see it. =D

Thank you =)

'Lot's of little phrases'... You are right, they are, aren't they? Always surprising how something so obvious escapes us and we need another perspective.

Thank you for your kind comment mildperil.

No Paul, I don't mind at all. Thank you so much for the link. I listened to your song and it was great! You truly have that 'trap' mood going on there with your vox.

Yes, I understand what you are saying. That still doesn't make it easy. I'm a very, let's say paranoid person. Goes with other issues I rather not talk about. But putting my voice out there is like marking my spot on the map for everyone to see. Irrational, but it is what it is.

I was advised to put myself out there and that's what I'm trying to do. But, baby steps... lol I'm already talking and revealing more of myself online than I'm used to.

Your words of encouragement are so comforting. I truly appreciate it Paul. Thanks.

Yep, use ozone. 'Never Said' is mixed at about 9 LUFS with a 1 LU loudness range and -1db true peak which is just fine. I was actually referring to the mixing part I wasn't sure about but I worked it out in the end.

My voice is actually not that alto. I have no clue why here it sounds so deep, I since froze and flattened the track so I don't remember if I changed the pitch a bit to match my key. Some other people are telling me that the effects are causing that. Honestly, I don't see how.

Enough rambling omg. Thank you so much for your kind comment crucethus. Really appreciate you take the time to listen. =D

I have to stop myself from layering too much sometimes. I love the psycho-acoustic effects that pop up doing that some times.

Trust me, I shake, and I don't know if it's just my voice or it's nerves or a combo. I never sang outside the shower before.

That's an interesting idea that I've never explored. I don't know if I'd be a good collaborator though. I feel really possessive of my tunes, and I'm a bit unreliable. But will keep it in mind. I definitely need to put myself 'out there' for reasons I won't get into.

Thanks for stopping by bringer. Always nice to hear from you and your ideas.

Hey, sure why not. That would be interesting! I uploaded a version without the vox to my profile page if you need that.

Thanks for listening =)

It's great you have and idea of what this could be genre wise. I had no clue. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comments Dankee. =)

Appreciate the listen and the nice comment Snelkku.

Oh Rita, I am super scared of singing. I'm glad you think it's cool. We'll see what happens in the future, I don't know lol.

Thanks for listening madam!

I'm really happy you liked it Wayne. I might explore the possibility of singing in the future but right now I'm too intimidated and my voice is not very well trained. But the feedback I've gotten gives me hope.

You do oil and watercolor? My father was a painter, did both as well. The house always smelled of turpentine lol.

Thanks again for listening Wayne. =D

Se me hace dificil grabar la voz en mi hogar y no tengo equipo. Asi que fue solo un experimento. Per aprecio mucho tu comentario. Me llena de motivacion y alegria. Cuidate =)

Thank you zootman2u. That's just a rhodes-like preset on my Spire vst. I am so glad you liked it. =)

Ha! Now that you mention it, I must have done that subconsciously I guess! ;)

Sade? I have a bunch of her CDs!

I don't know if I'll do this again though. I can't sing that well, comes out all wobbly. But it was fun to do.

You are so kind Paul. I swear I had no idea I could even mix any good before since I didn't have any feedback to tell me otherwise. I'm glad I stuck around. It's helping me a lot in more ways than just music.

Thank you for listening =D

Yep, just an experiment. I'm glad you like it. Thanks pseudoble! =D

Yeah lol, sorry M.T.. I've been meaning to pace myself but I literally got nothing better to do at the moment. Listening so much good music here in LM gets me inspired as well. I'm going to take a break now and let things marinade here for a bit.

Swing Out Sister! So many memories. That is awesome you think so.

Thanks again for another lovely comment of encouragement.

Ha ha Rita, you're a bad influence stirring trouble! I truly appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.

Doing a lot of thinking about this lately. I find comfort on knowing what it is I'm working on genre wise, like a sense of order, a structure. I don't do it to please anyone. No one seems to like genres around here. If I were seeking approval, would I continue trying to categorize music?

I also become bored and genre bounce. But again it's just because of that, boredom. Ironically, if I had a wish to start pleasing people first, I'd switch to a more mainstream genre like regular Hip Hop, RnB, Rap or Trap. Doing house seems to be a niche experience lately and that is the genre that's closest to my heart other than techno. Maybe I'll do some techno next =P

Also, if I were trying to appeal the audience, I'd be putting vocals on all my tracks, it seems. I like to use vocals, don't get me wrong. I have plenty of music with vocals. I just like my instrumentals as well.

So sorry for the long rant. Just had it in my head and wanted it out lol. I truly appreciate your kind comment crucethus. Your feedback is invaluable. Thanks for the listen. =D
