Man, thank you so much for the words! 'Stay true to the call' really hit home, especially with everything going on right now.

I truly appreciate you taking the time to check my tracks and connect with the vibe like that, brother.

Thank you so much Richard

Thanks man appreciate your listen and comment, yeah i was like that with mixcraft at the start sometimes i still am lol dont use it to its full potential not yet anyway lol again thanks for your time :)

Hi Richard!

You have no idea what this comment means to me. I just woke up with a terrible migraine, and you've made my day. To hear that my song caught your little one's attention... it's incredible, because I think children are the purest beings there are; they're unconditioned, they're sincere.
Thank you so much for this joy.

And keep writing the lyrics you do with that rhythm you always bring to your songs; I'm sure they'll be a wonderful guide for your little one in life.
Best regards and admiration for your work.
Juan Carlos

Greetings Richard. That's a great description for the situation here. Lively movement was what I had in mind. For this listen being a good one and the high marks you left is a great thing. Your stop in appreciated in a big way.

Peace,

Mark

Cheers,

Thank you Richard, it was pleasure working with you. :)

Richard ! My Brother '' I Believe that your other talent is '' POETRY '' wow those words where amazing my friend, not only takes me back in time but i as well miss these days too. I cant hide it because is in the way i make music and it comes out. Thank you for your support and friendship my brother, coming from and talented artist like you, this means a lot to me !!! Have a great weekend "

Hey Richard, how you doing, brother? Man the song u did with my brother goes so hard. I think its helped him gain a few ears, to be honest. We really appreciate your support, fam.

Hi Richard!
Your words are flattering, especially coming from a creator like yourself.
I've focused on this style because it's easier for me, and I like it. I think this first track was a beginner's luck; Odarka's voice inspired me, and I found a sample on Cymatics. I only added percussion, the other voice you hear, and a couple more instruments. But I'm happy just doing simple things like this and learning as I go. My biggest struggle is with effects, mixing, and mastering; it's very complicated for me. You have to dedicate a lot of time to understand it, and I don't have that kind of time, haha.
Best regards, Juan Carlos

Richard, we need all kinds of music to lift us up. I listened to your track and commented. It's great and inspirational. Many, many years ago, I wrote a gospel song titled "Stand by the River". It was picked up and recorded by a local gospel group organized by a gentleman named Sam Fair. I remember that fondly. I write and produce all kinds of music. In the next few weeks, I will post a track on LM titled "The Kings of Russian Rap". About as different from jazz as it gets. Thank you for listening. I'll watch for your posts. Best to you, Cosmo

Greetings Richard! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your impressions and compliments. I would beg to differ with you on not being able to "pull something off this refined and classy".

I had been on a long musical hiatus, like really long. Basically listening to the music of others but not doing any music of my own. I had foot surgery and recovery. You know "He makes me to lie down in green pastures". That's when the music became ALIVE again. So I would set aside time and started with my laptop and a MPK Mini with some loops and jumped in.

Practice is key. But most important keep ego out, and learn as much as you can from others. Ego will short circuit creativity. Ego will shine brightly but only for a brief moment. The musical gift we've been given when handled correctly and presented properly will shine brighter and longer. Heads up, There's a new sound being released. I sense it. Find your own sound within the new sound. Seek diligently for it, IT'S There. I wish I had time to go further on the subject. Long story short YOU CAN DO THIS AND MORE RICHARD!

Peace,

Mark

Thank you Richard! I think we have a few more tricks up our sleeves. Our philosophy is that music should be the last thing in the world that is divisive. All of the members of this group have experience in different types of music, I think that shines through all of our work

Thank you very much, Richard.

Much appreciated, Richard! We are approaching the finish line on our album, but we still have a few things up our sleeve. There are a few songs coming up that show a little bit of a different side to our work

Hello RichardShekari, of course Im appreciative of your kind thoughts....I can only say I play the guitar in my own way.....outside im sure of a lot of commonly used structures of playing but inside enough of those same structures to put together the type of necessary rhythms and feels needed to make the music you hear.....and the whole time playing what I feel the music is demanding of me to play to express....a different guitar player? Absolutely......just like every living soul is different, but meaningful hopefully to some, and that's enough for me.....sorry to babble my friend. Again thank you for everything.

I just got it. The Kentucky Derby was today, and it basically happens right next door, so I was out enjoying the gathering. The LMPD were doing a choreographed dance to Gin n juice as they directed traffic, and I think that explains the mood of my city today better than anything. It was awesome. Thank you for your contribution brother

Hello RichardS, thanks for the listen of course and the comments my friend....I'll say this bro I listen to such a wide array of music and like so many different styles and genres I find myself trying to fit my playing style between it all and it works generally but keeping it simple when possible and sticking to as few notes as possible allow more room to express and let some of the music speak while I improv around it.....I was always told to keep it simple....try not to over play your thoughts, theres no time for to much thinking when improvising anyway so express and move forward.....sorry about the thousand words here.....again thank you bro.

Thank you Richard :)

Thank you for understanding the heart of the words I wrote for this - naive as it sounds, I feel if every one focussed on the world they want to create rather than fear, dread etc, we can build this kind of world, Richard

Thank you so much for your comment; it encourages me to keep trying. Right now I'm a bit stuck because for these first three songs I only worried about adjusting volumes and trying out some effects I'd downloaded. But thanks to the great advice I've received here, I've realized I have a lot to learn about mixing and especially mastering, which I've never done before. I've spent a couple of weeks watching videos about which plugins I need and how to use them, and honestly... I'm still confused; it's too complex for me.

Cheers

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 listening!
