BradoSanz

Greetings.

Recording was direct, using 5150 amp sim and Lepou cab sim with some nice impulse responses. Mids were shaped by the amp, and I took a bit more out to remove some horn-like frequencies. Gave a bit of a tape feel, and since I have no tape effect, I liked how it sounded.

Thank you, good sir, for the listen and the feedback.

Thanks man.

Hey Brado.
This music with substance was arranged on Magic Music Maker 18.
It has a lot of factory set sounds/samples etc

Take care bro. - B

Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the feedback. I've been working more heavily on balancing the music and my vocals, at least lately. Still got a bit of work to do.

Tnx for your comment ,that means alot for us

U can find another 3 songs in our soundcloud page or in the "FB"

I will upload other songs soon
Tnx

Thank you for the good words and the honest feedback. I also thank you for thinking so highly of my work that you think I have intentions on becoming big. I wish I was haha but I can't seem to get my work out there, so I mostly produce to a non existing audience. But maybe one day I can get more exposure and become a "bigger" producer. I'm still trying to master the production craft so this can become a reality. Thanks again for your time and for listening, I really do appreciate it :)

Thx Bro :)
I will try to finish it!

I was trying to learn how to program a game, hell even point and click games. No matter what I'd find, they all took years before I'd finish a game.

But then again, thanks a lot! I'll try spicing things up in this track and to other tracks in the album.

Cheers

Thank you for the listen! I use Fl Studio to produce and use plugins such as Massive, Sylenth, and Nexus to achieve my sounds. The flute that you enjoy comes from a free rompler called DSK Asian DreamZ. DSK is a company that produces many different plugins and romplers absolutely free! The first flute heard in this track is called a "Ban di" and is a Chinese flute with very rich sounds. To add extra texture I layered this flute with a panflute to achieve a more desirable sound. I hope this helps :)

Yeah, I do it all myself. The drums are actually a mixture of 4 different pre-loaded kits. But thank you! I'm working on getting a new mic, so thanks for the suggestion. My old one was damaged while I moving and hit the dust. Going to get a better keyboardist on here and some real guitars I think next.

Yes, you are correct, Autotune was used just for that short interluse as an effect, along with several other aesthetic effects. I just wanted the tune to carry away with the mix at the moment and the autotune fed to the delays and stuff worked well for that. Thank you my friend!

Hey Brado, thank you for taking a listen to this one! I'm getting the impression that it is far less acceptable to people than my usual track, and I take that as a good sign... a sign that I am breaking through barriers put up by things such as genre, "professionality," and machismo. The words meant a lot to me, and I wish I could have sang them better, but at the same time the words were especially relevant when the main takes were recorded, so it conveys the feelings well. The additional vocals were basically outtakes from attempts to do better, and yet they did add a lot. The vocals are actually not very raw overall, just audible. This is the first use of the new four channel gate/expander rack piece I picked up recently, and my first use of the Kustom dynamic microphone in quite some time. I suppose it could be considered a new or different genre, but it is securely influenced by early psychedelic rock such as Jefferson Airplane and The Doors, as well as some new wave stuff like New Order. In face the riff that shows up a couple times in the second half seems almost stolen from New Order, which was totally unintentional, and I didn't realize it until later. Totally appreciate you stopping by!

Thank you Brado for your time and comments. Not well today so not hanging around I'm afraid.

Hey Brado, thanks for listening and commenting.

Yes, the bass tone is killer :) I think the secret to this collaboration is that we 3 have been working on quite a few songs already, so we get better at it. In addition, all of us are active at wikiloops.com, so we collaborate with othe people on weekly basis, that does let us hone our production skills. Try it out, you might like it ;) .

For the sound effects, I mainily use freesound.org , but if I am after something I will look at other places too, like soundbible. There are lots...

Anyway, thanks for listening and appreciate the comments :)

Hmm. You've given us something to think about.
Thanks
Any ideas? :)

Haha really? Thanks! I'm always so worried they're sounding too fake. I just use the Garageband and Logic Pro 9 plugins and do a lot of layering and editing to get real-ish sounds.

Hey BradoSanz

Thank you for the review and your thoughts, will look into what you mention some time in the future, I think they sit okies for but could be better...many thanks again matey...Peace...Mosaic...

Thank you! I hope so too haha. It's all fake guitars at the moment.

Nuanced greetings.

Yes, this is the track I was referring to. Sometimes I listen to other people's tracks and they sound so much louder and clearer than mine and I feel just a little inadequate. I'm always not sure if my overall sound is loud, powerful and clear enough.

"plain ol' boss-ery"

No, not really a word. One I do like, though, is 'badassery'. The collective noun from 'badass'. Not a real word but makes great sense to me. I think there's quite a bit of it on display in this track.

"Reminds me a bit of Metallica at some parts"

Yes, maybe with the chugging riffage but you won't find Rhodes or synth arps in their music. I'd say they haven't done anything good in 20 years though their 80s and 90s stuff is still very good.

" the keys (?) that you played at 3:12"

Yes - Fender Rhodes, a very rarely used instrument in any heavy music. And with good reason, as it's much more of a jazz/funk/chillout type of sound. I add it for odd and unexpected flavour, something you know I love to do.

"that jazzy transition at 3:50"

Yes, those swing drums there are entirely just a transition. I really didn't want the track to start becoming jazz as I thought it would spoil the asskicking vibe but I did need a way to bridge between sections. That little drum groove seems to work nicely.

No, no timestretched guitars there, just a synth pad plus some cello underneath. No guitar anywhere in the track.

"Ever thought about making a tutorial video?"

I have not but it's an interesting suggestion as I may well have some unusual little techniques and/or music making philosophies. As I work alone and never see how others work, I wonder if I have developed some odd, little ways of doing things that might be of interest to others. I'm not really planning to do it but I'd probably call my tutorial video series something like Production Tipz n Shit with Tha Mothafuckin' Nomad.

Great to hear you'd be up for watching it. Maybe one day, if I can be bothered. I'm not the type of guy who's much into promoting himself.

A new cellout dance track coming next week.

Take care,

Nuanced Nomad
