Hello Michael
That sounds like a hit! Very nice atmosphere. Even though it's Rock (heavy guitars, powerful drums) it's kinda chilled. I'm driving down a beach road in a convertible with the stereo on full blast, the wind blowing through my clothes and I feel FREEDOM.... Very nice track!
Cheers,
Micky

Aha...he's back! The multicolored deer is roaring magnificently again. Robbie, it's so good to see you back in action. And how fresh this sounds.. wow! I'm already down in the hangar, polishing up our machine a bit!
On to the future!

What's up Micky,

We are going to need some Dylithium crystals
for the ship, it hasn't left the hangar in a while.

I'm glad you got the chance to stop by and hear this
track. I'm looking forward to our next "Maiden voyage"
hopefully coming soon..

I'm here @thehangar ready for a new adventure.

BTW... I'm taking this track down and putting up
another tracks that I wrote today.

PEACE from the Beach...

Crazy man, that's incredible! I've produced a few tracks myself with Patricia's voice, but I never would have imagined that in rock. You did it incredibly well, hats off!!! Schöne Grüße in die Nachbarstadt - welche auch immer das in deinem Fall ist. Micky aus dem Neanderthal

on I feel Im getting by pseudoble

Yes, Manu is certainly right about the sound of this voice, and if you've already improved it, I would still find it a bit too "muffled". Having said that, I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the track. There's so much going on, how do you go about getting all those sounds to groove together. And although it sounds like a wild mess, I felt like I was in a familiar, cozy living room. Really a very unique, very inspiring track.

pseudoble replied 7th Mar 2023 - 3 years ago

Well - I tried to retweak that vox again today to bring it up and didnt bother to tapper the end this time so its 5 seconds of floating nothingness at the end. But yeah it's 25 tracks in the final mix and some of the synth parts are constructed separately before being added in hence the wild mess of sound. Thanks for listening and the warm feedback (still got the L plates on despite my age)

on Ride Of My Life by dimestop

Hi Paul, I have the feeling that with the special kind of your voice and your vocals it's somehow always ok for me. Sometimes I think, what the heck ... at one point the voice is too far forward, then at another point it is too quiet and then just right again. I would say that you really can't go wrong, you are ALWAYS an original. This track is another example of that.
Cheers from Micky

dimestop replied 28th Feb 2023 - 3 years ago

Hi Micky thanks for your kind feedback, im still learning on the engineering side. was not totally happy with the volume levels, had 3 limiters on just messed to much and got fed up :))) but ##### im enjoying myself. your comment is always a plus mate thankyou.

Hi Twanna, you know I'm a big fan of your voice. I just wanted to check if you're alright and if maybe you've already found the time and opportunity to do something with the music track I sent you...?
I fully understand if your commitments don't allow it... but it would be great!!!
Best regards,

on Prairie - Grow Together by ProdTRAPDOC

I like the track a lot.... sounds like a lot of work. The beat in the first longer part grabbed me right away... then the transition to the second, fast beat - wonderfully resolved. The incredibly awesome guitars that pop up... do you play them yourself?
All in all a successful track that was fun to listen to.
Cheers,
Micky

ProdTRAPDOC replied 9th Feb 2023 - 3 years ago

Thank you!
It certainly did take a while.
I played most of the instruments except the guitar at the end, sadly I don't play guitar but i made the end with bass and drums and had a friend who's really talented at guitar at that then asked him for a jazzy ending so it was fire. Thanks for the feedback!

on Rhodes Let s the door open by NadirSidahmed

What a beautiful track! It reminded me of The Doors at first, but then it becomes a super spacey track all of its own. I don't know how much your own part is in it, but the atmosphere is just "enchanting". Like it a lot!

on Dissentient Two by Musicwithoutborders

Hey Maj, there's something very special about this track that I can't really say what it is. You're experienced enough, so I assume that you deliberately created the mix this way, with this idiosyncratic distribution of all elements in the room. For me it has a cinematic effect (which can also have other reasons...). I know nothing about Trip Hop and Trap, so this is a naive but sincere compliment! Good, extraordinary track!
Micky

on Step By Step 12 - Hold On - Better Days by BaoBou

What a beautiful track... sounds like a classic. That shows your real musicianship... Michael is right: I also find the open hi-hat and some of the cymbals too far forward, but that doesn't really detract from the track itself... Mix and sound come across very naturally, "unpolished ' which goes well with the track. In fact, I thought of Clapton on some of the vocals as well. All in all a beautiful, harmonious composition!
cheers,
mickey

BaoBou replied 26th Jan 2023 - 3 years ago

Wow Micky, that's an awesome comment. The prasie makes me blush and thanks a lot for the tips!

The current drums are sort of placeholders in midi. Drums are still my weak point; recording live drums is hard (harder even than playing live drums) and the accoustics in my practice room are absolute horse shizzle, so even with a decent 4 mic setup it still sounds like bleh.

I got an electronic drumset hoping this would make recording easier, but they sound worse, so... I keep trying.

One way that seems to give decent results is to record live drums on a single mic aimed at kick/snare, then enhance them with midi/samples... but this still takes time... and I have too many projects :D (oh, and a full time job and a life of course)

I'll keep trying! And thanks so much for the encouraging words!

on EP track 2 - Body of a woman - Pablo Neruda by BaoBou

BaoBou, the others are right and I can only agree: that sounds like a good live recording. Personally, I would have given everything a little more reverb, but that's definitely my quirk... I live completely in some reverb and echo room (I'm sure it's my wild past to blame for that LOL). I also think the change to 4/4 is great ... it really pushes you again. Only the end is a bit abrupt .. I could imagine another solution. But in the end it's all a matter of taste, isn't it. I think it's a great idea to set a poem to music and you've done a great job here!
Greetings from (finally) rainy Germany,

Micky

BaoBou replied 18th Sep 2022 - 3 years ago

Thanks so much Micky, great points.
- yes, I generally stay away from reverb/delay - I don't really get it and whenever I use it, I generally overdo it. But it can really give a track more space, so I'll check that. Good point.
- the ending is also a good point. I'm think to do what Paul suggested, maybe a bit more guitar is warranted :)

Thanks again, much appreciated and hope you enjoy the rain! ;)

on Jynx- feat Joey Bonez Striking Daggers by Jynxz

Hey Robbie,

I haven't been here in a while and just discovered this. That's great. I think it's still Jynxz, all the elements are there. Maybe a little too much reverberation on the voice, but that's just a matter of taste. Crazy too, as always, your high-energy synth solos ... I think Jynxz and rap ... that works well!

Greetings from the Neanderthal,

Hello Micky,

You know that I have been exploring different
Genre's and kinda filtering them with my own interpretation
It's been hit or miss but I've enjoyed myself making every beat or weird sound along the way still looking for a resonant voice I can call home. Oddly enough I feel most grounded in space.

Thanks for giving the track a listen and encouraging comments.

PEACE from the Beach...

on The African Moon Lullaby - For Danke by Orlando51

Hello Orlando,

somehow I stumbled upon this wonderful piece of music by accident and thoroughly enjoyed it. You truly understood the ambient genre and implemented it brilliantly here. I don't know if you know Lucia Hwong, she was on the "Private" label at the time and your track reminded me of some of her music... but you know what it's like, with comparisons like that... it's probably totally subjective. Crazy that the track even suggests smells to me... small campfire and stuff...

Many Thanks,

Micky

Hey mate, I don't know if everything about this mix came from you, but I particularly like the strings. Overall the vibe is great...there's a constant swarm of bumblebees in the background, which I think is great. And for Michael, who is great as always, it's a perfect outfit. A very successful mix.

Many greetings,

on Mr Space Shuttle by theHumps

I just wanna say that this was great fun listening to. And I don't regard it as a little silly one but more like some music from the heart to the hearts. Not so many are capable of doing this today. It would take a lot of effort for me to pull off songs like you do, so I'm grateful for sharing that with us.

Cheers,

Micky

theHumps replied 20th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

I really admire the singer/songwriter style of music, especially when it comes to folk music. This is basically a folk song produced to be a rock song. It's about selling the story in the song to the listener and it is hard to do. Townes Van Zandt songs can make you depressed, sad, anguished.

It's why I write so much and so fast. I'm prolific when it comes to ideas and with practice you eventually get better at songwriting, lyrics and mixing.

Honestly, I'd have a hard time making songs like you and others do and can also appreciate how you guys make your songs.

Thanks Micky, be safe!
