BradoSanz

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 :)

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.

Hey Brado thanks for the compliments I really appreciate it. I am going to be teaching an audio engineering section in my communications class next school year so I thought I should probably buckle down and start learning some of the technical stuff so that my students can hopefully make some decent recordings. By the way I found this website that allows you to make video recordings with both system audio and microphone audio simultaneously for free. I tried it on my windows machine and worked great, here is the site:http://www.apowersoft.com/free-online-screen-recorder hopefully this will work because I am really looking forward to seeing your process. Anyway thanks again for checking out the track.

Thanks bro! That's always something I love hearing! Its just a great thing to know, you're improving as time goes on. Even though I can't take all of the credit. Its YOU guys who are helping me move forward. Without your helpful comments and sincere gestures to always listen and helpfully criticize my music, I would have probably given up.

So, thank you, all of you!

Thank you BradoSanz, A lot of work goes into making tracks and I'm glad my hard work paid off. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the kind words!!

Thanks for the feedback.

Yo, BradoBro.

Sorry to hear of your cello problems. I had problems too, which is why I put off starting to really play it for about a year. Definitely not the same sort of problems as you're having but I seem to remember you saying that you weren't happy having bought something that was just too cheap.

Yes, the slides in this are nice and probably pop up all over the place, though I'm employing a bunch of other techniques as well. First time that I've actually bowed the top two strings. I find it kind of awkward to reach them (mine is 5 string though I think I'd prefer only 4) so only make simple chord shapes (5ths) and limit my movement so that I don't screw up too much.

"Minimalist drum kit that I really like"

Yes, it's mostly a hip hop drum kit, with rock kits taking over towards the end. It's quite busy at times but, yes, I've tried to make the drums a bit more background to allow all the cello activity to shine.

Glad to hear you found this cello track relaxing. I think so too.

Next cello track will probably be the opposite - cellometallo.

Good luck with your damaged cello.

Static CellMad

Yeah, I think so too. My problem with mainstream hiphop is the drums and bass, being so punchy, so full all the time. Stoner, like older hip-hop, is more soft, more details, more dynamics, it's not as in your face but I prefer it a lot, more natural, breaths and flows more.

I'm glad you like it man :)

Thank you very much! I did indeed have a blast creating this. There was a loop in Music Studio where a voice snippet saying what sounded like "does your momma eat Yoplait. I heard a track by Mista Perez Yo Momma So Damn Pretty and it inspired me to go back a remake the track to what you heard. vic

Hey Brado, yeah I'm still using the same interface, just tried to change the style up a bit. Its nice to know this gives off a pleasant atmosphere, as that's what I like my music to give to people when they listen to it.

Thanks for always checking in, always appreciated. Take care :)
