Hi there MedicalMarijuana,

Getting around to review another of your tracks in response to your reviewing my recent rock tune.

Guess this song reminds me of several 60's band songs all rolled into one. Fortunately, I never smoked any pot or got caught up in drugs myself. But I suppose it helps others 'medically'.
Nice work putting this all together.
Thanks for sharing,
Randy

Hi Chris,

Getting around to give you a proper review back from the recent rock tune you reviewed of mine.

Nice tune here. I like the finger picking style of the acoustic guitar. I own a Mitchell myself. Mostly heard on my country tunes.

I like all the playing, and your vocals are pretty good I think. You seem to have a soft voice. I don't sing myself, so I can't give any pointers that way.
Great job,
Randy

Hi Falter,
Getting around to give reviews back to my recent rock tune you reviewed.

This is quite a bit different sounding track. Hardcore as you call it. Has some nice features in it I like....like the synth parts.
Always goood to hear what someone has going on inside their mind. ;-).
Good job.
Later,
Randy

Hi Dave,

Thanks for reviewing my Rock tune of recent. I am finally getting around to give reviews back. Been working a lot. Had to scour down your tunes list as it looks like I had reviewed most of them already. :-)

So this one I didn't listen to before.
Sounds pretty cool to me. Lot of stuff going on in it. Good drums and steady beat. Not sure if you played Bass on it or not, but that part is good as well. Certainly does have a 'spacey' sound to it.
Good job in mixing it.
Randy

Hi ya BigPete,

Hey, a really nice tune here. Makes me wish I could sing so it would bring my tunes to life.
I like this tune....almost Bob Dylan style to me. Has a nice guitar sound and put together very well. Probably could sell this song and make some $$.

Anyways, very well done. I like it a lot.
Randy

Hi Chris,

Hey, cool track. Like the guitar fuzz sound. Reminds me of the older days. I've never done any hip hop stuff as it doesn't particulary interest me. But I like your tune here with this beat.

Randy

Hello ToxicVoltage,

Saw in the featured box that you had a Trance tune up and wanted to check it out, as I am also working on a new Trance tune myself since just uploading a Funk mix. I have never done one before myself, so it might be a bit challenging for me. ;-)

I guess Trance tunes are all about the steady faster beat.
I like this one here as you have some variety in it and has a nice sound to it. I like the breaks in it compared to others never stopping and taking a breath.

I hope I can do as well. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Randy

Hi there Bcway,

Thanks for reviewing my latest track, 'Funky Mix'.
Glad you enjoyed it.
So in return, here is my review of your latest.

I haven't done any tunes like Cinematic yet....altho I am fully equipt to do so. Working with loops is a lot of fun and I see you did a very nice job here of putting this one together.
I like everything about it actually. The piano part is cool especially. Nice and clean sounding. Fits in nicely with the overall picture.
I think you did a great job in putting this one together.

As far as making an ending, not excatly sure other than a repeating part that fades out. Sometimes, my tunes end abruptly, with a delay effect at the very end which is cool sounding.

Anyways, thanks for sharing.
Randy

Hi Chris,

So nice to hear acoustic guitar playing cleanly. I have a Mitchell one I bought last year.

'Tapping' is what I call what your doing. Steve Vai and many other rock guitarist also do it. I have done some, but I am not good at it as it takes practice. However, it sounds like your on your way.

The birds in the background weren't a distraction to me. Even added to the ambiance to it all I feel, if anything.

I think you did a very nice job and hope you'll do more.
Randy

Hi Dave,

Been wanting to get to hear some of your latest as I have a couple days off now.
Sounds like a fretless bass here. Something I have never owned. Has a nice sound. Kinda of gives a warm mellow feeling.
The piano parts fit in nicely from your friend. Very nice production overall.

I have Ableton live that came with my Pro Tools, but have never used it. I did open it up and experimented with it for about 1/2 hour and decided it was too much to learn all at once, as I was learning PT. at the time too.

Later then and have fun,
Randy

Hi Slap,

Hey, I really like your tune here. Very nice sound and playing throughout.The saxes are great sounding and the mix is very well done. I am not sure I was even on Looperman when this came out so I missed it.
A few folks have asked me to try and do 'funk' type of tune so I am working on that, as I have time. Not sure it will be up to your caliber tho. I am gonna mix it with some slide guitar/blues to make it a little interesting since funk really isn't my normal genre.

Great job here and thanks for sharing this great tune.
Randy

Hi there M,

I am at home now and can hear your song clearly. I hear that the sound is coming out both L/R speakers now :-) and it all sounds good.
The tune has a nice story line going along with the title.

So you did a nice job here and the original artist (KRUZO) as well. Thanks for posting and sharing.
Randy

Hi there Martin,

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my rock tune....so I wanted to return the favor and check your tunes out as well.
I like the guitar sounds in this one as they are nice and clear.

Of course your vocals are very good as well. Has a slight rough edge to them, but I suppose it depends on the song your doing.
Anyways, a very nice job on this song and hope you'll make many mor.
Randy

Hello there "M",

Since you recently reviewed one of my tunes, I wanted to see what you had up as well. I don't recall ever seeing your name before is all.

This tune here sort of reminds me of Rap music at first when it starts out. Then a bunch of stuff happens and all kinds of different sounds come up.
I'd say an interesting tune for sure.

Randy

Hi again BigPete,

Ha Ha...got your note and I just wanna say, not much really bothers me, so poke fun at me if you want, but I know your kidding. It is good to have a sense of humor. I am the type that almost nothing bothers me these days at 65 yrs. :-). I'll be lucky to get another 10 years out of my talents. i suppose as long as i can still move a mouse. ;-)

I see some complain that this tune isn't real country, well, I suppose if you had pedal steel in it and a fiddle and in 2/4 time, then it would pass. haha
I don't play my steel much anymore. Dang thing weighs 75 lbs..... without the case.

Anyways, thabnks for your reply...I appreciate it.
Randy

Hi ya BigPete,

I saw your post about this tune so I thought I'd check it out.
A very cool tune with that cool beat. I envision them dancing now on the steet. :-)

You did a great job on this tune. The guitar sounds really good too. Funny you mention a organ with a Leslie speaker....I am doing a tune now with that in it as it sounds so cool when it starts from a near standstill and revs up and then back down.

Anyways, a very nice job and thanks for sharing it.
Randy

Hello there macbook1990,

Thanks for reviewing my 'Canadian Pride' tune.
I see you have a couple tracks up so I'll be the first to review this one.

I like the gated intro. Gated effects sound cool. I should use them more. However, he lead instrument is too far in the background I think as the drums are louder than it.

Anyways, an interesting tune.
Randy

Hi EVRiM,

Thought I better come over here to your page and see what I was in for. :-))).

This is a very nice song and I like your vocals. I hear a lot of 'breathing' in the tune. Like everytime you take a breath, it seems 'magnified'. Not that's so bad, but very noticable by me anyways. Can be fixed some by rolling off the higher EQ settings some.

Nice guitar background and singing. Like others said, a folk song type of tune and its really nice to hear for a change.
Randy

Hello there JDOT2006,

I want to thank you for reviewing my Metal track.

I like the intro in this tune. Nice piano delay sets the mood.
I find the tune as a relaxing mood type. I liked it as it was a lot different than I listen to usually.
I see a lot of people have listened to this tune, but few reviews. On the other hand, 6 downloads also means others liked it as well.

Nice job overall.
Randy

Hi Butcher,

Hadn't listened to one of your tunes in awhile so I have some time and decided to check this latest one out.

Nice intro! the whole song sounds good and the vocal fits well with it. I am not into Hiop hop, but I listen to it now and then just to see what is going on....and Rap as well. Too many words for me to remember. Ha!

Nice job,
Randy

Hi Slap,

You put up so many tunes up, hard to keep up. Even now I am at work as I had to work both my days off, so I am lucky to get a song done a month.

Here it sounds like you did very well in getting things together in the 10 minute time limit.
Well done as usual.
Randy

Hi Dave,

Trying to find some songs that I haven't reviewed of yours already. So had to dig back in time here as I didn't hear this one before.

Well, this tune was really quite different than anything I had heard before. Kinda like a big jam session to me. Lot of different stuff going on, so it sounds kinda busy as I think someone else also mentioned this.

Anyways, nice job putting all this together and making it work.
Randy

Hi Dave,

Say, just getting around to review a couple of your tunes here. After that last Van Halen song I posted, I had so many reviews to answer back too.

Anyways, your giving that Jazz bass a workout. It's nice to hear that kind of playing. Slap did a great job as well as he always does. Horns add a lot to a song.

I like this tune a lot, but doubt that I could play this type myself. More like Jazz which I never got into.
Great job here and I commend you both.

At the moment, I am trying to duplicate a guitar sound I have heard on a couple songs. One from Shania Twain and Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana fame).
I am guessing it uses a combo of a Line 6 POD unit and a VoX wah-wah pedal held halfway down to give the unique tone. Guess I'll have to dig my Vox pedal out that I bought in the 60's.

Take care,
Randy

Hi there Mr. Dylanthermos,

Came over to listen to your rock song as you just reviewed one of my Blues tunes.
I too like the guitar sound in the beginning. Good lead work.
The vocals sound good. Did you record yourself twice to give it an almost harmony sound?

Very nice. Thanks for posting and sharing,
Randy

Hi Dylan...as a follow up, I think a lot people do give reviews back once your known and been on here awhile. However, if you look at your review of a particular song.....and then scroll down the page to near the bottom, you can see all who have played your song. Now it is quite true you may have 34~ listens, but only 3-5 reviews, which really isn't much.

That happens to all of us. Some of the guys that have been on here the longest, will have naturally more reviews.

So myself, I never worry about it as if I can get 3 reviews out of 100 listeners, I am happy with that myself. Just means I don't have to give a review back to all the others who just listened, but didn't comment back. :-)

Then you can check the downloads of your songs too. That is helpful as well as that means someone really liked the tune.

Now...that being said, if you don't get any reviews, then you might want to make sure you post a notice of your song into the 'members tunes' forum so as to alert others that you have a song up and are asking others to give it a listen.

I'd say if 50 people listen to your song and NO reviews back, then I guess they didn't like it as most people don't want to give a negative review so as to hurt someones feelings. (Like...if you can't say something nice,...don't say anything at all)
Anyways, hope this bit of info helps.

Hi Devodale,

Really very nice guitar work with the effects and all.

Very cool lead work. Wish I could play like that more.
I like the vocals and the overall mix is very good. You can hear everything clearly and its nice to have the vocals out front.

Great job and am glad I came to listen.
Randy
