Hello Deck_Hed_AKA_Blown_Tranny,

Quite a name there! I haven't listened to all that much Trance type or Techno music I'll admit, but what I have listened to, this is quite different than I have heard before. I think it sounded pertty cool, but I'd like to hear more variety in it. Perhaps when your partner adds their part, it will change a lot more?
Thanks for uploading it,
Randy

Hi ya Lisa,
Been awhile since I have listened to anything of yours. Since this one popped up as a featured track, it caught my attention right away, even tho it was from March that it was originally posted.
As usual, you have the nicest voice in this tune and that Bonnie Raite song I listened to before. I think anything you sing will turn out just great. You need a recording contract!

Anyway, hope things are ok with you overall and am looking forward to more of your singing/songs.
Randy

Vaetle asked me....
"where do you live"? :)

I live near Bufflao, NY in a small community called 'Lockport'.
Here we have only one real recording studio that is professionally built. So that is why in my previous review to you, I said each song to be "Mastered" cost only $20 each. A bigger city/country, or studio, probably much more.

One good way to check your tunes out, is when your finished with it, put it on CD and play it on your home stereo, in your car, on your friends stereo, and with and without headphones, as most often when you create something, it will sound a lot different when taken out of your own 'personal environment/studio', and you may not be pleased with the sound at all.

Many artist are disappointed that they don't hear what they were hearing before when they were first making the tune... So then you have to go back and re-tweak the sound. (Trial & error)

Often...since I love the bass & drums sounds, I tend to put in a little extra in my songs, but when I play it back in my car or on my other stereo, it is often too boomy or too loud...so then I have to go back and re-adjust the track it's on....and try it again. This may take a few CD's just one for song only, but they are cheap these days.

I do all this for each and every song I do, as if I am gonna place a song on the Internet for my friends/family to hear, I want it to be the best I can do, whether they personally like that particular tune or not......my name is on it!

If you click on my icon for this message, it will take you to my profile and you can see/read what all I do.
Thanks for writing back and hope my info may help you some.

Hello there Vaetle,
Well, I am not an expert on Trance music or Techno myself, but the song was interesting as I have listened to only a few in my life.
The kick drum was a little overpoweering and it was the same beat throughout with no drum rolls or breaks, like in a regular song. But maybe that's the way Trance is. I'll have to listen to some here at home.

If your making an album or CD, make sure you have it 'Mastered' in a regular type recording studio. They will set all your songs to an equal volume level, and can add EQ and some effects to enhance the song(s). You don't want your listeners having to change the volume up and down for each song.

The studio won't be able to change anything within the song, just the whole file (song) itself. Here where I live, a small studio charges $20 for one song, and they spend 1/2 to 1 hour on each one.
So it is good to have a different set of ears (A professional) listening to your song to make it sound its best before releasing it to the general public for sale.
Thanks for uploading,

Hi there BigAl808,
I don't listen to much Rap or Hip Hop as it is not my favorite type of music. My daughter loves it tho! Your family song here was good though and I did liked it. Rap songs are usually so long that I could never remember the words to any of them.

They all tell a story whether a real life story or made up, they are unique...and yours was one of them.
I see you use an Korg M-3. I am thinking about upgrading as I have the Korg Karma now.
Thanks for sharing your song here.
Randy

Hello Darkos,
Just listened to your tune. It had an interesting sound I thought, but it seemed like it was the same pattern over and over. I'll give a listen to some of your other songs and see what's different. :-)
Thanks for sharing it,
Randy

Hi djsalkizar,
Very nice tune here! I rarely listen to Trance style music myself, but I like this song. The vocal part does make the song and the solid steady beat would make a person want to dance.
You know I have a Korg Karma keyboard and I ordered a Trance card just after I got it, and it has hundreds of Trance style music beats on it. I messed with it a few times, but I think I should revist it again and see what I can find interesting after listening to your song.
Thanks for uploading it
Randy

Hello SEROKSATY,
I like this song you did here. Nice guitar work and overall sound. I know what you mean about vocals. My songs lack them too and its hard doing an instrumental and keep it interesting throughout. You don't have anything to worry about in this song tho. :-)
Thanks for uploading it.
Randy

Hi ya Rockman,
Just listened to your rock song. I liked it a lot. Nice guitar sound. Liked the extensive use of the Wah-wah pedal sound too.

For what it's worth, I own one of the original VOX Wah pedals from the 60's still. Maybe I should get it back out...or just add it in with the computer. Anyways, I'll get around to listen to your other songs as well shortly. I have only done 1 rock song so far myself.
Randy

Hi Slap,
Great sounding 'Horns', and the Bass was very good as well. Sounds like a tune for a movie or something like that. Very smooth and a great job well done by you both.
Randy

Hi Six...
Overall, I thought the song sounded pretty good, but I'd like to hear the guitar up front more and stand out. Everytime time I get a song done, I then play it on different speaker systems to see if it will hold up. Many times I find the Bass too boomy and have to go back in and change the EQ or whatever.
Your bass sounded fine and the drums of course. Maybe more variety in the lead?
Anyways, I am about done now with my next 3 part Blues song and hope you'll give it a listen and see what I mean about the lead guitar standing out front more, etc.
Good job on your song overall.
Randy

Hello there EVRiMBee,
Just got done listening to your song here. It was different than anything I have ever heard before! Everything was just right. The vocal part was very good. I can tell it must have taken a long time putting it together.
I feel bad that sometimes I can't produce a song a month.
Thanks for uploading it.
Randy

Hi Art,
Thanks for uploading your song here. I like the song overall. Solid rhythm background and bass. Just a simple melody line makes it all fit well together.
Randy

Hi Steve,
Interesting take on the song you have there. I like it a lot. Never heard any songs of old nursery rhymes like that I can think of.
Thanks for sharing it.
Randy

Hello Blair,
Thanks for steering me to this song. With over 6600 tracks on here, I can't get to them all. So I tend to just listen to the most recent ones since I am fairly new here. :-)
I like this song very much. The mix was professional and the reverb came out just right for the drums, etc.
You have a good voice too....so all the elements are there for a hit. Just a matter of getting enough people to listen to it out in the world.
I can't compare it to any other songs I have heard like some others can. There was a time period of years really I didn't listen or play much music at all because of working so much.

I'll checkout some more of your work. :)))))
Thanks for posting it.
Randy

Hi Slap,
Great song here. Everthing was good about it. Wish I could sing tho as it's harder doing instrumentals and keeping a song interesting. It is great that you can play several instruments as well, so you can add in variety to a song.
Thanks for the upload, and keep making more...!
Randy

Hi there Whitesands,
I saw where you reviewed some songs of mine and want to review some of yours as well. There are so many artist/songs on here, it is impossible to get to them all except the latest ones.

I haven't done any Trance type music yet myself, but have a lot of ideas. I like this song you did here in particular. Had a nice even flow to it and wasn't boring at all as the scene kept changing. Creating good attention grabbing music isn't easy.

Thanks for posting it. I'll check out some more of your songs as well. I am nearly done with another Blues type tune. Mine aren't exactly the type you'll hear on the radio though. :)
Randy

Hi there Billsals,
Just getting around to listen to some tracks here and ran across your newest song. A very nice one this is. I like the vocals in particular. I need to start putting vocals into my songs somehow. I basically use ProTools 7.4 with an MBox Pro-2 Unit and have most all of Digidesigns software.
I have been using it only since Nov. 07, so I am still learning.

You did very well on the instruments and the recording itself. I could hear everything clearly. It takes time to do a nice recording. Most of mine take a month or so to do...and then a couple days of tweaking the sounds and effects. I have a lot of good ideas, but keep jumping around and trying different things all the time.
Being objective... often is hard when creating music as you say, as new ideas sometimes are tossed aside for the more 'familiar sounds'. Anyways....good job on this one.
Randy M.

Hi Meestege,
Well, I liked the song here too. It kinda fits me as I am too fat myself. As you get older, it seems to come on easier and hard to get rid of. I liked the Harmonica part in the song in particular. I can't seem to find any loop disk with Harmonica on them.
I suppose a person could make some money selling one if they made one up and offered it from one of the bigger companies. You'd need about 600-800+ different short .wav files with different parts of riffs, fast and slow endings, and in different keys and tempo's...etc. Takes a lot of time and work!
Anyways, the above is off the subject...but just a thought since I don't hear the instrument anywhere else. Good job on the song.
Randy

Hello again!
I am listening to all your 3 songs here and and just wanted to say, this song was very good. I like your cousins singing voice as he did a nice job thoroughout it. The guitar playing you did was very good as well.
I don't recall hearing any Peter Green's music as there was a time period I wasn't playing any music with my present job. My shift work job took all of my ability to play in a band away, so I actually stopped playing music for about 22 years. Mostly then I listened to country type songs and some pop/rock.
Randy

Hi there,
Well, since you gave me a review meant for someone else, I decided to go ahead and listen to your song. I liked it actually as it had a good live sound to it. The guitar and Harmonica were good. The singing, I have heard worse...and I don't sing at all. So thanks for sharing your song with us, and if you have time, give a listen to my Blues song called 'Blues 101'.
It is a 2 part song with acoustic/slide and the second is a Fender strat/slide with a 'crunchy sound' at a little faster tempo. No Singing in it. I did much of it with Pro-Tools software, and sample/loop disk as far as the Drums. (I played guitar and Bass)
Randy in NY

Hi Paul,
Just listened to your song here and I do like the guitar work. I like country and rock mostly, but I do listen to other types. I am 'at work' now and am playing it on tiny 3" computer speakers, so I'll have to play the tune on better speakers when I get home so I can hear everything better.

I love a good solid Bass and Drum sound, even tho I can't play real drums myself. The advantage of using software is tuning everything the way you want it to sound.

Good job, and look forward to hearing more of your talent.
Randy

Hi Planet,
Just got around to playing another one of your cool songs. I love the sound of the clean guitars. In fact I own 4 Fender Telecaster guitars myself, including a Fender Thinline. They all have their little particular tone too. (pickups, string gauges)
Nice song here and hope to hear more of your uploads!
Randy

Hello profita,
Just listened to your song here. Sounded decent to me. I like the piano in the background. Seems like if the bass and drums could come out front more, the song would sound better. But then, maybe electronic music don't use much drums?
Randy

Hello there rei4real,
Just getting around to listen to some songs before I go to work. I like this one a lot. Sounds very clean and has variety to it.
I'll have to listen to some more of your work here.
Thanks for sharing it,
Randy
