Thanks man for listening

It's been a blast, to say the least. I didn't leave my desk for like 8 hours but it feels like 2 hours when everything is firing on all cylinders. I couldn't be happier myself. Im glad you enjoyed it!

Much appreciated, brother. Some vocals are coming next, I imagine that will take it up another notch. When it comes to the increase in collaborations and working together in general on LM, well for a long time, it seemed to me that between 2021 to 2026 fruitful collaborations seemed to have been in decline. When I first joined the community here, it felt like just about every song was a collaboration of some kind. Id love nothing more than to see that again

Thanks, James. I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. It's interesting because Pnnywze mentioned the same thing about the tempo, so I think it's definitely worth exploring.
I'll experiment with increasing it by about 3 BPM or more and see how it feels.
Thanks again for taking the time to listen so carefully and share your thoughts. I really value your input, and it's helping me hear the song from a different perspective.

Hi James,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. It really means a lot.

I wrote the lyrics and composed the song. The piano part is based on a MIDI file, and the drums came from an FL Studio template, which I then arranged and produced into the final track.

I'll definitely try increasing the tempo as you suggested and see how it feels. It's currently at 74 BPM. Out of curiosity, what tempo do you think would suit it? Were you thinking around 76 or 78 BPM, or something a little faster?

Thanks again for listening and for always taking the time to share your thoughts. I really appreciate it.

Mission accomplished!

So you understand the feeling of producing a quite professional outcome. I can listen to my melodies note by note, much of my arrangement and sounds, but then high level musicians interfere and a new version of the track is created. This is great for people like me that do not have the way to the professional orchestration and playing for their compositions. Of course we spent lots of time, because we do compose and make much of the orchestration, give a track its spirit and existence and that's why I do not feel I am doing something wrong when I use this high level technology for music production. How should I feel if I used expensive gear of synthesis or sophisticated software for this purpose...we move forward that is all.
Best regards, Anthony

Hi JAI26, sure thing! Thanks! Your Vocal was pretty spot on, I like the way you took the description of the track and used it. I found it quite a clever little thing to do and surprised me if I'm honest!

Haha thanks bro! If you need the multitrack just let me know via e-mail, I'll send it to you and you can look into it to find this magic ;) But yes, bassline is good, it's a classic reese bass with high freq cut off + saw-wave sub.

Damn this is awesome man! I responded right below the track!

Thank you - I love writing lyrics ;)

Salute!

Thank you mate, it's really a compliment to me. Very appreciate the feedback. New tracks are coming :)

It's a synth processed with guitar amps/pedals. Thank you bro!

Thanks brother means a lot

Hello, friend. Thank you for your words. You're right, we made some special music together, and we made special memories, we knew each other all our lives. Its the same with our friend Yungin, who we lost in 2023. The songs where we were lucky enough to have both are now more precious than gold to us. Those songs can be found here, if you're interested. Thanks for the support.

Thank you so much. Lyrics are there now.

I'm honoured you trusted me with your father's recording. It was a privilege to help bring it back to life. Thanks again for your kind words and encouragement. I'm really glad it all came together so well in the end!

Hi James. That is a very generous commentary. Many thanks. Hoping to do a bit of catch up on LM this week and check out what some of you fellow veterans have been up to. Thanks again. Cheers. Ed

Thank you, man! Love that you described it as 'someone coming to whoop up on me', that's exactly the kind of dangerous energy I wanted to capture. And I 100% agree with you and Danke, this beat is practically begging for some wild vocals to finish it off. Appreciate the listen!

Thank you so much, James. I honestly have no idea how the LM follow rules work either. Sometimes when I refresh the track section, I see some recent or featured tracks from people I follow, but beyond that I really don't know what it means or what advantages it offers. I just follow people and hope for the best, haha.

I still haven't had the chance to record that song, even though it's written and ready to go. One reason is, as I told you, we're expecting our baby literally any day now. The other is that I'm trying to switch from Adobe Audition 1.5 to the 2025 version, so I've been spending a lot of time watching YouTube tutorials and figuring out the new workflow.

To make matters even more interesting, the Mrs. had an unexpected hormonal moment a few days ago and accused me of spending all my time recording music and watching YouTube tutorials instead of giving her enough attention. She even refused to talk to me for two days! So for now, I'm trying to be a good boy, keep her happy, and make sure she gets all the attention she deserves.

I'm just waiting for her mood to change from black to pink. Once that happens, I'll switch on the mic and finally get that song recorded. Happy wife, happy life, right? Haha.
