sounders

Hi sounders!

Thanks for stopping by. Its funny how fast the 'report button' gets pushed around here the moment someone brings up an uncomfortable truth or an honest debate.

It's a shame they deleted your comments too, but it just proves the pattern: some people are terrified of transparency and prefer to live in an artificial bubble where no one can question their 'live band' illusions.

Appreciate you sharing that experience.

Hey Sounders!

Wow, what an amazing comment, man. Calling the Hammond 'an ancient weapon of the elders wielded skillfully' is honestly one of the coolest phrases anyone has ever left on my tracks. I'm absolutely framing that! Glad that deep, evocative vibe hit you so hard.

I will gladly pass your love to Spain! Andalusia and Extremadura are beautiful, magical placesno wonder you miss them so much. The sun, the culture, and the food here always inspire that extra touch of soul.

Thanks for the awesome support and for taking the time to write such a poetic review, brother. Much respect!

Wow, thank you so much, my friend! I absolutely love that you caught that 'Modern Americana Noir' vibethat dark, cinematic, and atmospheric feel was exactly what I was aiming for with this piece!

Really glad you enjoyed the guitar tones and that 'shmoov' bassline, I spent a lot of time locking that groove into the mix. Getting an 'outstanding' review from you means a lot.

Appreciate you stopping by and showing such deep appreciation for the production. Cheers!

Thank you friend for the listen a d words.....just a lover of music like yourself and a risk taker when it comes to playing out an improvisation as all my tracks are, I play what I feel.....again I thank you friend.

I think this is the exact comment you should post on those AI-generated tracks youve been listening to lately. Either way, were counting on you when Purge Day comes.

hank you, Sounders. I really appreciate it.

Thanks Sounders,,,, Michael and Daisy ,so far, have been most challenging to work.... lol,,, although positive coming from you real, I an unsatisfied with both and going back fixing things..... My Best Always,,, Sal

Ha, that's a perfect description, I like that!

Good evening,

Thank you for your time, and thank you for writing your comment to us. Most importantly, we are allmyself includedvery happy that you liked our tracks.

Of course, I can explain everything in detail, from the mixing process all the way to mastering.
Regarding reverb, mainly on the vocal and guitar channels (there is also another one there, not just a single instance), I have been using for a long time ALTIVERB 7 by Audio Ease. Im not sure if there is anything better in IR technology today, but for us it is ideal. We mostly used to record in small, not well-equipped studios, so I was looking for solutions to create a proper ambient sound.
I tried several reverbs; one quite good option is MC ConvolutionEZ, but I consider it slightly inferior.
For guitars (depending on which ones and what is being played), Riccardo always uses the Boss DD-3 delay and the EMT 140 plate (you can see its a love affair with Gilmour ), along with other gear he has (R200).
I also use the free Classic Reverb (Kjaerhus Audio). Sometimes I need to use both plug-ins in the same mix.
As for me, on drums, beyond some average Shure SM57 microphones I had and still use, I focus on proper tuning. In mixing, I use EQ, compression, reverb (Altiverb), and a gate to remove unwanted resonances and reflections.
Anything else you need is at your disposal.
Thank you again. Tomorrow I will listen to your songs. Chris LINEAR FADE Band

Thank you bro, I'm so glad you like it!

Hi Sounders,Thanx for your nice compliment. I will listen to your tracks now and will send you a DM.

Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation of my music. It is important to remember that we share the same language, aiming to express good things to one another like love, friendship, fraternity, and humanity. It's about the highest values of life, life itself included. I am truly happy that my simple music has conveyed some of these emotions and touched friends. I believe most of us in this community embrace what happens here with respect and tenderness, and I completely agree with you. May we live in peace, in good health, and in the beauty of harmonious existence for the time we have in this world.
Best wishes, Anthony

Greetings sounders. Thanks for stopping through. Im happy you enjoyed what you heard. Your compliments are appreciated in a huge way.

Peace,

Hi Sounders,,, Appreciate the listen and noticing in detail.... Sal

thanks for stopping sounders the new gear has worked out great and i will continue to get better results with new tweaks to it, I'm a bit of a fly writer i get ideas i pen a vocal, i have probably 6 at the minute then i'll make a beat or better still a colleague makes something fire, which i much prefer, i will jump on it if it creates a stir and the vibe I have, well we joined to learn and share collaberating brings far more to your game, you also learn to compromise too and take on board other ideas people see that you don't.
paul is not dime I created a braggard rapper to be controversial, but everyone liked him, so it didn't go exactly to plan, the story behind this track is really a broke ass rapper making out he's makin from the industry when all his rivals are spending just to get a foot in the door, go ahead press the play key

Thank you for your comment; it encourages me to keep dedicating time to learning. I make very simple music, but it helps me put what I'm learning into practice and have some fun at the same time. Best regards.

Thank you :)

Thank you for the listen and the comment.

Thank you for your comment, it is bright like the sun and refreshing like the Margherita!
Best regards, Anthony

Thank you Sounders!

Hello sounders, everything is good...still picking up the guitars as much as possible, but enjoying so of this good weather as well....I do thank you for listening to this track, working on others to share with you guys and looking forward to more of your work.....stay safe and take care my friend.

Thank you so much. Im glad you like it..I feel honored

Hahaha, no problem my friend. I have a lot of senior moments and with the new Looperman, it is impossible to edit comments so it is all good. Thanks for giving the others a listen and your kind feedback on those as well. It is appreciated. I hope all is well.
