Hi there Slap.
Been awhile since I have listened to any of your songs as I work a lot of extra hours.
Very nice job on the Sax and Flute. I would like to buy your album when you get done....so let me know.
Your playing is always very good and concise and clear in the mix.
Thanks for uploading,

The last song I uploaded was a slow blues slide guitar type if your interested in the key of open 'C' tuning.
Randy

Hello Mr_Tee from afar,
Just catching up on some listening and reviewing of tracks to those who gave a review of my music recently.

Nice song here overall. Lots of variety in it and that makes it more interesting. I liked the song a lot.
Keep up the good work,
Randy

Hi Blair,
Nice sounding harmonica work. Your voice is decent too.
I think it would be nice if you could make a song with guitar, bass and a little drums. That would fill out the sound a whole lot.

Did you get around to doing any Harmonica work on my Voodoo Swamp song? That as I mentioned was in the key of 'C'.
I'll be doing a county song next with 'Banjo'. I see you don't like Banjo, but there won't be much in it. :-)

My fingers are slowing down. It will be half old country and Cajun with twin fiddles. Since your from Georgia, maybe you like Cajun music? I mean Louisiana is 'nearby'.

Back to your song here. Nice work, you play well on the harmonica.
Randy

Hi Meestege,
Nice sounding Blues tune here. A lot different than mine which are mostly slide guitar and slower. Sounds like you should drink a few beers before making ANY new song....as it loosens you up and your inhibitions fly away.

I am afaid I am not doing too well at colabs because of working so much. I should have had the Dobro part done months ago for the 'I'm too fat' song.
Anyways, this was a very good blues song and I liked it a lot.
Thanks for sharing,
Randy

Hi there Meestege,
Just getting around to catch up on some reviews. Looks like this one and the other one done is June are your latest two.
I like this song here. Drums are good and steady, guitar sounds good thru the Line 6.
You know I have a rack mount Line 6 and have hardly ever used it. Such a shame as they sound so good, but I get any sound/ tone via software these days.

Nice job on this song here overall.
Randy

Hi Planet,
I liked this song here. A very relaxing tune. The guitar was clear sounding and the Bass complimented it nicely. Good fadeout at the end. Nice playing!

Hello Art,
Well I tried leaving you a review of this song several days ago but the system wasn't accepting any reviews. So I am listening to your song a second time as I forgot what it sounded like.

Really sounds nice and you seem to have put it all together well. Just listening to your favorite artist and mimicking their arrangement style helps a person put together a song.

An instrumental is harder as you have to keep it from becoming boring ....and you did a nice job here of keeping the song moving along.
Randy

Very nice. The voice reminds me of the talk the young gal was giving at the end of the 'Mad Max' movie when everyone was sitting around talking about a new world.
I liked the guitar as it was clean sounding and was played very well, and the reverb made it sound nice.

The voice could be brought out front more as someone suggested, but I could understand most of it even with the accent.
Thanks for uploading and sharing.
Randy

I like the synth sound. I just think the song needs a little more variety is all like telling story.....starting off easy and building to a climax. But everything there fits well.
I haven't done any ambient types yet myself.

Thanks for uploading it and sharing it.
Randy

Hi there,
Very nice playing indeed. I like all the guitar, the drums, everything. I can't play that fast, but I have fun trying.
Randy

Hi there phasturbo,

Getting around to listen to one of your songs here as promised. Starting out, it doesn't sound like Hip Hop...at least not the type I have heard before. Usually they start out with a flurry of words that never end. lol

So it was refreshing to hear your tune. I really liked it and it had a nice clear solid sound to it. Maybe more variety could be put into it overall so as to change themes a little...like telling a story.

Anyways, I liked it a lot and I will have to listen to your other projects.
Randy

Hi Blair,
Nice song you have here. Haven't listened to any of your songs in awhile. The rhythm you have in this song sounds like a 'Bo Diddley' style...which just happens to be in my next song I am almost finished with.
Anyway, good song as I said. I'll have to listen to more of your nice tunes.
Randy

Hello Korner,
I see you have a featured track here and it popped up while I was looking around, and so I decided to play it right away. Well, I like it a lot. Very nicely put together and I can understand all the words. I haven't done or listened to many Techno tunes myself. I don't sing so I am stuck with doing instrumentals.
I'll have to get to listen to more of your music shortly.
Thanks for sharing it,
Randy

Hey Chuck.....
Another cool song here about you. I don't particulary like Rap, but I did enjoy this one, as the music was very good and varied. I could even understand all the words! :-0
Randy

Hi Chuck!
I am a Chuck Norris fan from many years back. Glad to see you branched out into more music besides the Texas Walker 'Ranger' song. :-)
However, I still see you with Christie on TV selling that exercise equip. When is your next movie coming out? (lol)

Anyways, your first tune was fun to listen to, and I can honestly say, I haven't heard anything like it before!

Welcome to the site as you'll enjoy yourself here.

Randy

Hi ya...well, this is one of your older songs and I liked this one a lot. I love acoustic guitar anyways. I have a loop disk just full of acoustic guitar with different patterns, and playing in different keys, but I often like my own playing better.

Good job on this tune with the mix of the other instruments behind it.
Randy

Pretty nice track. However, I would say it would sound better...to me anyways...if there wasn't quite so much scratchy sound in the first part. Once that sound stopped towards the end, it sounded nice and clear.
Thanks for uploading it,
Randy

Hello there SEROKSATY,

Well, I don't listen to this type of music often, but it sounded pretty fast and cool. I can't imagine playing drums or guitar that fast. But, I have seen it in videos.

Great job and will look for more.
Randy

Hello six,
Ahhhhh, a nice orchestra sound. I liked it a lot and it would be great for a movie background I believe.

I have many settings on my Korg Karma keyboard for Orchestra and I suppose I should explore them.
I am glad I checked this song out as it is very relaxing to me today.
Thanks for sharing it with us all,
Randy

Hi Blair,
Getting around catch up on some listening to tracks here today.
I like this song you did here. I liked the words and could hear them clearly and sounds heartfelt. I think a little less reverb would bring the guitar and voice to the front more in the mix.
You have a good voice too!

Thanks for uploading it here,
Randy

Hello Tyler,
Interesting piece of music you have made here. I almost thought I was watching a Mad Max movie. Ha!
Sounds like it could be used for a movie background in a sci-fi type.
Good job,
Randy

Hi ya Planet,
This is one of your little older songs, but I liked it a lot as it has a nice relaxing feel to it. I have never tried any Fusion stuff yet.
I have all the tools for it, just that I am into country/rock more at the moment.
Anyways, nice job you did here in arranging it all.
Randy

Hi djshade,
I liked your song here. The vocals came out well. Sounds like you have a nice voice. The music was good and fit well altogether. I'll have to try and get some vocals in my tunes sometime.
Randy

Hello 'Live_Project',
I liked your song a lot. I like a lot of bass and drums myself and they stand out well in the mix. I like the guitar sounds too.
The singing was very good and clear. Sounds like you got it all together there.

Thanks for uploading,
Randy

Hello Killtone,
This is the first time I have reviewed one of your songs. I happened to catch it as a 'featured track' and thank goodness for that.
I like the song a lot, and I liked the music instruments chosen.
Your voice is nice too. I have Reason, but never use it as it came with my Pro Tools I use.
The drums sound 'live' as I always like that rather than the canned synth type drums which remind me of the Energizer bunny! :-).

So I think you suceeded in making your song sound live. I do the same as much as I can. Sometimes it sounds like your right there in the room.
Good Job.
Oh...as for 'Mastering', a fellow here in my hometown does Mastering for approx. $20 a song. He has his own large old Heath -Allen analog console for recording live bands, and doesn't care for digital that much still, but uses it for mastering. So you might want to check around in your area and just see what it would cost if you want to go that route.

If you do it, ask them excatly how, and what they had to do and maybe you can learn from that, and do it yourself next time. See if you can stay in the studio and watch them! Usually takes 1/2 to 1 hour at most.
I believe here, he uses Sound Forges' audio analysers tools?
