Lol...that is freakin funny. You always have some awesome sounds bro. Love the ratchet sounds, the chickens give me the creeps. Poor chickens. :)

Be my guest bro, I would love to hear it.

Thanks

Thanks bro, I must confess that those are other ways of saying dirt bags of the female kind, around where I am from. :)

I just felt like doing a ballad. Most of the stuff I do is quicker paced. I appreciate the support my friend.
Thanks again.

tv

Very kind of you Optimistic. I appreciate the support and you taking the time to listen and leave a review. It still needs some work and it is missing something, besides vocals. :)

Thanks again.

tv

Thank you brother, always nice to get some good feedback and a pat on the back for the guitar work. I try to put some Organ in any song that I can get away with. I think it can add really good depth and color to a track. This is one of the few songs I can put in the finished folder. It just needs vocals. Thanks again for the support.

tv

Thanks bro, it's always nice to get some good feedback on solos. Back when I played in bands I never felt confident enough in my soloing to contribute with them on stage. Since I took up Home Recording I feel my skills in that department have grown a bit. Still have loads to learn but I can fake it pretty well...:-) Thanks for giving it a listen.

tv

Thanks bro, glad you liked it and I appreciate the feedback on the song in general and especially on the mix. I think I have come a long way in the Mixing/Mastering department. Was brand new to the whole recording and mixing thing. Was pretty lousy at it for a while. Seems like I can get a decent mix now. As for vocals, that is all that is missing. I pretty much consider this one done. I will attempt to figure out some vocal melodies for this and maybe write some lyrics but I am no singer. Maybe I will get lucky and someone who can sing will jump in on this. Everything I have done is open for collaboration.
Thanks again.

tv

I will indeed keep the faith my friend. Thanks. I think this is one of the few I have done that doesn't have that "live" sound to it. Sounds more studio done, and I really worked hard to get it. I don't dislike my live sound and others seem to dig it, but there is something sweet about getting that studio sound. I don't have to tell you, your stuff always sounds fantastic. Studio quality. So it means even more when you chime in with some praise. The support is greatly appreciated.

tv

Thanks man, that's a hell of a nice compliment. I don't know shit about theory or even scales, I am self taught and hearing that feels good. I could benefit from taking some lessons though. Maybe someday. As for sound, I am a bit obsessive with the sound and tone of instruments and overall mix. I sometimes spend more time working on getting a sound for a guitar or bass part than anything else.
Thanks again.

tv

Thanks bro, I appreciate those really kind words. I think this is my best track of all I have done so far. Except for vocals it is done. I spent lots of time working on the EQ for each instrument in the mix so that they would blend together well and not step on each other. Your kind words make me feel good about putting in the extra work on it.

Thanks again for listening and for the support.

tv

Lol...thanks man. Yeah I believe the drum sample came out of a Hip Hop folder of mine. :) Gives it a slight Hip Hop Rock vibe. I appreciate you coming over and giving it a listen even though it's not your usual habitat. Thanks for the support.

tv

Thanks bro, I appreciate you giving it a listen and being kind enough to comment with some feedback. I am especially encouraged by your kind words on the mix, I have been working hard on trying to improve my mixing and mastering skills. Been playing guitar for a while but the whole DAW and mixing is new to me still.

Thanks again for the support.

tv

Thanks for the kind words, they are appreciated. Glad you like it.

tv

Doctorcatface, I love the name bro. :) I also love and appreciate the support. I can't take any credit for the drums as they are a sample. All I did was run some effects and EQ them to where I wanted them. Guitar, bass and keyboard was all me so I thank you for the kind words in those regards. I believe a good track regardless of genre should be one that pulls the listener in and engages them. One thing to say it, whole different thing to pull it off though. :) Thanks again bro.

tv

Appreciate the support bob...always nice to get some feedback. I spend a lot of time trying to get a slightly conflicting feel going without going overboard. Always looking for that perfect tone...I feel it really sets the mood of a track. As for drum patterns and samples, I search the web and download quite a few drum sample packs off bit-torrent sites like Kick Ass Torrents. This particular drum sample is my all time favorite, which is obvious to anyone who has listened to my last 15 tracks or so. :) I think I have used this sample more than half the time. Most times for me the drum sample is where I start and I just tweak the sound of it till I am happy and then grab my guitar or bass depending on my mood and see what it generates. As for vocals, I have an open door policy. If anyone wants to add vocals or guitar or anything just hit me up on my email and I will send you the stems. I don't have the masters of my older tracks but anything I have done this year I have. I can download the stems in whatever format you like to work with. Toppervega@aol.com or TopVega@gmail.com both work for me. Thanks again for the support.

tv

Kenny thanks man, I appreciate the support. Just starting to get my feet back under me now. I have a couple hiccups I need to iron out and a little more texture to add here and there. Very kind of you to give it a listen and leave a comment.

tv

Well let me give John Garcia a call and see if he is not busy. :) I dig Kyuss and of course Queens of the Stone Age. Will see what I can do about getting some vocals on here. I am a big fan of Stoner Rock. I appreciate the kind words my friend, and also thank you for giving it a listen and leaving a comment.

tv

Thanks my friend, always nice to have you pop in with some encouraging words of wisdom.

Greatly appreciated.

tv

Thanks Danke...appreciate you giving it a listen and leaving me with some words of comfort.

tv

Thanks for the hug and for the comforting and kind words. If you ever feel like putting down some vocals I would love to work with you. Blues based Rock is usually where I find myself.

Thanks again.

tv

Thanks bro, I appreciate you giving it a listen and for leaving some kind words. It's been rough, some days are a lot better than others.

tv

Thanks Domenico, I am a fan of 70's Rock. Glad you enjoyed the track enough to leave a comment. It is appreciated. I will indeed be posting more tracks in the near future. Just got to take some down to make room. Thanks again.

tv

Thanks janis...I appreciate the support and you leaving a comment. Glad you dug it....:)

Thanks again bro. I appreciate you giving it a listen.
