on Dreaming by mulaoff
Your vocals have a great tone to them. Quite distinctive and in the now. I hope someone offers to do a trap remix on this for you, because while I enjoyed this version, imho all you need is the right producer for your creations, someone who can compliment what you're doing.
It's not that this isn't good. It is, and that's why I'm marking it as a fave. But I hope one of these up and coming producers on here realize they need to pair with you (please, no more that two. These large producer groups don't seem to realize that most labels will whittle them away to get to the true talent, which is usually three at the most). I agree with royalnation about how your vocals are a breath of fresh air.
Please keep up the good work, you've really got the goods.
I'm right there with you. Big producer groups just get messy and at the end of the day trying to make every producer happy is just not possible most of the time.
on Cha Cha Cha - Ahi Na Ma by Rexsaw
You've got your "Wall of sound" mix going here. I'm wondering if you double your tracks or use another method? Either way, the groove is infectious. Great job.
on ThisAin what they wont by Ernestking78
I'm in agreement with lowering the vocals so that the music can be heard clearer. I love the passion in your flow, and how you switch up your voice so that its melodic in parts and strong on the hook. That's very important in selling your lyrical skill. Great job on this, and on the catchy title.
on Switchblade ft Jimmy Stiles by theHumps
This is a wonderful, edgy rendition of Switchblade. This is what I call "dangerous" music. Go on witcha bad self. Bravo to Jimmy Stiles.
You're so right. Link Wray was ahead of his time. That pompador, swagger and talent influenced so many guitarists who are now revered.
My fav is his redition of "Unchain my heart":

But OMG Fire and Brimstone:

Link was bad and cool without even trying. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Of course I'm marking this as a fave.
on Something Magical by SleezeSister
I'm hearing a 90s vibe to this, probably based on the New Jack Swing like drumbeat being used. I like the retro feel of it, since a fat drum kick was a mainstay of that genre (Teddy Riley's pieces come to mind). So I can understand why its strong in your composition. But I have to agree with Henry that the drums need to be lowered a bit, because all the great melodies you've got going on are being pushed to the background.
My head was nodding throughout. I really enjoyed this.
on Faith colab by priest39
What a lovely, uplifting song. Much needed in these trying times. My only suggestion would be to bring the vocals up a bit more, since they are crucial to this genre. If that's you singing, then you have a wonderful, soulful voice.
Great job on the background music and vocals.
on Wave Speak by royalnation
Each melodic change flows smoothly into another. I'm hearing a bit of jungle, electronic, and as Patricia stated, sound effects. Each intricate piece you add brings a bit more flair to this. I like how you brought the hard hitting drums back at 1:56. That whole section (1:36 thru 2:28) is the sweet spot for me.
I believe you may be using a Koto sounding vsx in that section? Which is a nice addition to this composition. This is a very good piece of music.
on No Hassel by DrowsyCarnivore
This takes me back to Miami Vice, when Crockett and Tubbs are riding around Miami. Its nightime, ablaze with fuscia and teal colored neon signs. An instrumental by Jan Hammer is playing in the background.
Jan created the music and the atmosphere, and this reminds me of his compositions from the 80s. You're created a great retro piece.
Another fave for me.
on Soap ft Anja Enerud - Like a freak by Soap
You did such a great job on this. Yes, her vocals and tone are spot on, however the instrumentation you wrapped around them is killer. So polished and professional. Building a melody around an acapella can be one of the hardest things to do without a good ear, and you certainly have one, which is a gift.
Loved how this got dark and almost James Bond-cinema like at 1:01. I was nodding my head and listening close to everything you put into this. Like a great chef, you didn't neglect anything, even the ending was dramatic and mood altering.
I live for this. Bravo, and its an automatic fave for me.
Didn't notice that James Bond flavor on the first chord, but yeah, now that you tell me... lol. It really was unintentional :D
Peace.
Chris.
on Henry Pascal feat Stepa K - Nothing Left by HenryPascal
Great track. I have to agree with TheHumps on bringing in the bass and drum beat in earlier. Waiting almost a minute before the beat kicks in is too long a wait for a dance track. Maybe at 0.42 when his vocals change, that would be the place to bring them in, imho.
Still, this is a wonderful piece, and your music compliments Steppa K's vocals nicely. Gotta fave this one, as your skills are readily on display. Great job.
on Persevere Feat Boo Tastic ReMastered by DjLeeMFW
I agree with Henry regarding raising the vocals a bit. Good job.
You're almost there, but just a wee bit more raising will make him sound a lot clearer in relation to the music.
I'd also like to add that you may want to double what the rapper says on the hook if he's not able to re-record this part: "Been thru a lot, but I'm still here, gotta keep pushing on, gotta persevere."
The reason I suggest this is because the hook needs to stand out more.
He's doing a fine job, but a bit more intensity (if he can record it again, that would be my first choice) or you can make it stand out by doubling it on another track.
I wish you all the best.
on Melatonin prod by Mari with Lyrics by mariano3233
This track has massive potential, the only thing I'd add to what the others are saying is that you will want to tune the drums to the key of the music. I'm not familiar with Logic Pro, but here's a tutorial link that may help:

I wish you all the best.
on Fire Burning In My Soul by mondobongo
You had me at the bassline (bass player here, so I'm biased, I admit it)
I listened to this before I looked at your profile, because it reminded me of much of the music that came out of the the UK in the late 80s, like Soul II Soul.
Loved the VOX you used, both the male and female. As far as the genre, I'm hearing a fusion of jazz, funk and neo-soul. And yeah, I've got this one on repeat.
Thanks for sharing your talent.
on Dance track by Emmanuyel
You've got the beginning of something special here. A hard partying intro to a funky little jam. Please tell me you're working on the other parts, cuz I was already up dancing, but then it just stopped.
Argh!! Now you know if that happened on a dance floor the DJ would hear it :)
Great job. I'm marking this as a fave, because the intro is hot.
Thanks for sharing your talent.
on Sad Piano-Strings Arrangement - Seeking Vocalist by rubbadubba
Great job. This is a composition that stays with the listener. Don't fret if no one can come up with something right away. This is a strong piece that needs just the right lyricist and lead vocal, imho.
I'm getting a cinematic feel from it. Your music is quite haunting and lovely, so its gonna take either a Sia or Christina Aguilera type vocal to do this justice, imho.
A quieter voice could also work, but at the climax points there will need to be a glory note or two (but not enough to overdo it).
My best to you.
on Some how Jazzy by MPOProduction
I'm hearing Salsa and jazz, a bit of The Fania All Stars in this, Willie Colon horn section. . . in short, this is a wonderful piece of music.
Gotta mark this as a fave. Love the bass, as it sounds just like an upright. Mix is excellent, and this has the feel of a live show.
Thanks for sharing your talent.
You know. when I work on beats I always imagine pictures or scene…
For the drums and bass keyboards .. older musicians somewhere where the nights are warm .. you know ;-
..like „social vista club „ with a bit salsa touch and jaaaaazzzzzz…
And for the trumpet, a few youngsters who come and play with it..
that's why the trumpets are a bit more aggressive..
I sit there with glass of rum and pick it up.. LOL I love music..
on You are my friend by NYELA1
My apologies. When I still didn't see your track on the featured tracks page, I re-checked to see what the rules are. They are listed here:
https://www.looperman.com/forum/thread/180140/new-feature-featured-tracks-list-page
Once you comment on another looper's track (choose anyone who suits your taste in music) then your song moves up.
Again, my apologies for not having this info on my first post.
on You are my friend by NYELA1
If you want more people to listen to your track and comment on it, you need to edit your track settings (the wheel icon) and change it to "Featured."
You can only have up one featured track at a time (you can't feature 10 tracks all at once) but I'm sure if you list this as a featured track you will get both positive and constructive comments.
I really like your hook, both the melody and simplicity of the lyrics. I downloaded it from the acapella section. I want to wish you the best and hope you upload more tracks.
on Folded Time by royalnation
That drop at 6:36!
Where do I start? Four minutes in you had every working like a well oiled machine. Loved all the flourishes with the added instrucments and choral vox. It took off in another direction, which I loved. After 5:28 there was an SOS of funkiness, as you even let the drum get some.
Masterful job. Excellent mixing. Thanks for sharing your talent.
on Lifted by Baxuvis
I'm marking this as a fave. Love the vox you used. This is a peppy, highly danceable track. Have to agree with Pries39 regarding the rise before the breakdown, I really enjoyed it. Great job and all the best to you.
on Misguided by neuromancer56
Love the organ. Puts me in mind of the keyboard runs that the late great Issac Hayes would add on a Stax recording.
If you slow this down with a good boom bap type beat (there's lots of them on here, even from trap producers that have a throw-back feel).
You can have a soul throw-back that incorporates modern elements (like Alicia Keys did with "Fallin'")But you will have to get almost the same beat, as this sort of sounds like something along the same lines.
I really like this, and can't wait to hear your final version.
on old school type beat by Paleczka123
Love's Maze by the Temprees.
Listen, I'm gonna be real with you. Just sampling old R&B records (yes, we did have great beats back in the day) won't get you where you want to go.
If you live by the loop, your music career will die by the loop. And if you're only doing this for fun, you risk being banned by this site (taking samples from already copyrighted songs, even if you may think they're too old for anyone to remember is just not wise, unless you've paid to use the sample).
Not to mention at some point the artist's label will contact you with a cease and desist order and all you've built up on this site and others sites may come crashing down.
I suspect quite a few others recognize many of the loops in your music catalogue and just don't have the heart to tell you, because we all have to start somewhere. But if you've read the terms of this site, then you know that's against the terms of use. Which means you could get banned by the owner.
I wish you all the best, but if at any time you get serious about music, then my humble advice would be to pick up an instrument of your choice so that you can learn chord structure and key changes. You don't have to be the best musician in the world, but you may have a hidden talent, like for writing melodies or writing lyrics.
Again, I wish you all the best. Peace.
on Keepin Me by neuromancer56
Imho this is Jazz Fusion, but I don't think Looperman has that category as an option. Pioneers of the genre, like Herbie Hancock and The Crusaders gained a whole 'nother fan base back in the day for daring to be different.
Jazz purists looked down on Jazz Fusion for its melding of several styles with jazz, like funk, rock and R&B. Now its routinely done.
Very tasty track. One of the best in your catalogue of music.
on Closer by thekunig
I think this has loads of potential. The keyboard is driving, and when you find the right drumbeat, this may lean more towards deep house than the current category you've got it under. Also, my compliments to your vocalist, as she has a wonderful tone to her voice! I hope in the final mix she cuts loose with some runs or whatever melodies come to her that will enhance this piece.
My only other advice would be to restrict downloads or to only allow downloads if there's a comment (but then, sometimes you will only get one word comments like "nice!")
Anyway, I wish you all the best and hope you post the finished track at some point.
on Fresco Trey x Steven White i Again by laerisreal
Here's where it was probably taken from:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2I35ZvAPKo
The guitarist is Melanie Faye, but the song itself is by Mariah Carey titled "My All", which was and still is a very popular R&B hit. I can hear that the key was changed, but that doesn't change the fact the melody is from an already copyrighted song from an entertainer who's record label doesn't play when it comes to copyright violations.
Unless he got it cleared via Mariah's record label, which I highly doubt, then its not a cleared sample. Just because its up on You Tube being played by a musician doesn't mean its up for grabs.
I'm hoping you didn't release this for-profit, because other people will recognize it too. But you can save yourself some grief in the future by working on your own talent and original creations. Chances are everybody else who isn't well versed in songs around in the 90s or the copyright laws have probably fallen for this.
Anyway, I wish you the best.
