on 080803-downtempo by satyriasis
I am biased and partial to in your face drums, and I almost wished they were louder.

But I think the drums being subdued, really accented that subtle work in there, and was surprised how well this worked out for you. I would have tried to make people's ears bleed. (yes even in down-tempo lol)

Great synth/violin sounds. I really enjoyed the lines those sounds were making, the texture of the Highs and Lows.

BY FAR MY FAVORITE PART IS THAT PANNING GUITAR!! or is that cello?
Amazing sound right there under the rhythm, really MAKES this track, could it be made maybe just a smidgen louder? just a db? perhaps? I think it being more apparent would draw more curiosity, and would not deter the listener to the track as a whole.

Either way, Love it

on Down to earth by DJAmiie
WOW,
this is awesome.

I think there might be too much specific midrange, just so you have the option of other instrumentation. But on the other hand... it sounded awesome.

I guess if you are looking for an accapella, drop some mids, so you have room for a vocalist.

REGARDLESS.

That was cool. And unexpected.

on Adagio by Avail
This is great!

You know I was thinking it might sound pretty cool just as a synth, and re-do the drums.

But then again,
this is bad ass. So
I will check out some more of your tracks.

(I especially liked the 3 minute mark on. that was cool.)

on ACOUSTIC LADYLAND by RonGallagher
My favorite part is your use of space. Not clouding this up with too much flamenco flair, but just accenting that yearning for this chick you are all about.

You can feel that.

It's like ... to me, does she hear you bro?? Why can't you just get it together with her? But when you do, you never really get to touch her, the memory just passes on thru... everytime. I am really pleased you caught one of these moments in this recording.

Yeah, it's music who's your chick lol..

Great, coveted and favorited.

Alividlife,
Thanks for listening and sending such positive vibes.These expression we create are important. It's just nice to have a community like Looperman where we can share. Holding it all in would be no good for anybody. Thanks for the encouragement and understanding.

on The End by AcidParadox
Genius and Crazy are much the same thing.

This is not crazy dude.

I know Richard D. James wrote all of his first few albums from sleep waking. Probably all drugged out too.. lol.

This is awesome, I always have heavy metal dreams. hehe, and I don't sleep well either!

I was wondering, do you care if I mess around with it??
I really like it, and I have something in my head.

A lot of respect, GREAT JOB! Hi-five.

on wither and writhe [ft.Grotesk] by Sector7even
very cool. Louder. !!! normalize it to -1Db!!!
REALLY COOL!

Cool mix and cool lyrics. Great effects.

Can I remaster? Get back to me?

(I can't record right now, but can mess with audio.. I promise to do good.)

[post-comments]

Dude, I have had a blast messing with this track.

I have heard Grotesks stuff and your stuff respectively. AWESOME stuff btw.

Umm, when I look at mastering I look at each instrument in the band, and how the octave range reflects each. Going with just the normal preset never works very well. I like to modify it, Audition, my tool of choice is good at this. There is a weird learning curve.

I just want to add, that you did an amazing job. I just wanted to collab really... lol.

But, there is HARD limiting (the best for loudness which I felt this track needed), Normalizing which is just the peak... or rms.. and then widening, and limiting, and all types of stuff I wish I wasn't messing with and just doing my own original recordings... but cant.
Sorry for the long post.

on follow the sunset by rei4real
Awesome guitar lines.

I wish I had that latency, and clear sound on my guitar to pull something like this off..
Time for a line6 i think.

Perfect rei.
You know, It made me think about Prefuse 63. You might have already heard, but there are awesome parallels between the two of you.
For example, your use of off sounds in the drum beat. Like weird samples, not generally thought of percussion.
Plus the awesome AWESOME KEY CHANGES. Don't hear this enough in modern music.

This is amazing.

on subconpro by Mokeone
The midrange feels a bit subdued... almost choked a little bit. But after awhile, it becomes a part of you, like a new pair of underwear.

I LOVE THAT PIANO SOUND.. what do they call it, I remember hearing it on a digable planets song. Long time ago. Great sound man.

The whole composition is the rubber bannananananna pajamammamas.
(idon'tknoweither.)

What's that weird music called... Brain-sync... yah, you ever heard Brain-Sync Music? You might find it interesting. They use sub level harmonics and sound waves to heal the mind and body and inadvertently rip people off....

This song is cool.

on made in mexico by mouko
Cool.
Sick.
Savage.

Higher kbs? Screw 128 kbs, this NEEDS 192 at LEAST.

The lossy cymbals bugged me a lot..

But this is... yah..
your good. Real good.
I like how it felt like it was in 2nd gear at first, but then you just let that string hang at the beginning, dropping the flow to third, but the whole time you were running people over. There must've been blood and money everywhere.

Mouko, i love this song man.

on Brown Paper Bag by Matney
Uhhhh, I feel the summertime.. For some reason, and I am probably off base, but i feel Jack Johnson/G. Love/John Butler Trio feel. (I bet you have heard this guys, if not, CHECK EM OUT, You will dig)

Really good. Way better than I can do. lol.

It's hard to say man. It's short, but your use of space is good. Don't lose the space, it adds to your ambiance, in your favor.

Ohh and finally, 78 BPM... well, times that by 3/4, a 1/2? see what you can find? It might work. Go with your feel with samples, but then again, I feel like that guy who is giving financial advice but is always broke, because I am sucking with the looping.
And yah, this is one of the best tracks I have heard on looperman, AND you used loops from Looperman!

Elongate. That's all.

on Slowing things down... by bigblondemick
It's weird man.. You kind of remind me of NIN, kind of BLS, and some other wierd acronym.. BBM? BigBlondeMick?

It's really good. With a live ensemble this would own peoples faces.

Add that fuzz guitar solo at the 3 minute mark!! Just play like one note tremelo stuff!! it would sound sick!

on Chernobyl by Planetjazzbass
I like the airplanes.. good sample use.
I think it's perfect, I would like to hear a pause, and reiterate the voices with an airplane. all down-tempo.. But regardless, this is awesome, inspired me..

The only thing I remember from Chernobyl was something about an elephant (meltdown or structure.. I was young).. and that it was a disaster.. I guess you get that double treatment from the US after the cold war.

But on a lighter note, GOOD WORK!
