on deep blue sky by thyroid

this is very good - I like the way you set it up first with just the general mood and ambiance - then bring in the drums fer the full groove - nice mixing and developement - the vocs are quite strange - but very effective and defining! Ahappy new year to you!

thyroid replied Unknown

thank you for listening, allways appreciated
and for you too a great year

on Blue Lagoon by jfw

Hey bud - this is another wonderful smooth and slick recording - she is a great vocal fit for you - you really have my full respect for you production chops - you hit a very high standard. Is that a live piano track - you play the piano? love the rhythm of the piano chords in particular - true jazz feel here. Great tune, Jamie!

jfw replied Unknown

Thanks for the listen Haven - I agree Farisha does have a great voice - if only my playing could keep up!

Cheers, Jamie.

on Show Me What Love Is-SpellJammer feat Slap Johnson by AllenV

Hey - one more thing - about mixing - you had said you had to mix the sax in real time - just want to say that mixing in real time is in my opinion one of the great things to do - I love movement - when the volumes, pans and even eq's and effects are changing as I am listening to a song - to me that really adds life to a recording!! Again, great job you did on this!

AllenV replied Unknown

Thanks again haven!I'm glad it worked...I got a little nervous at times...I thought I would never be satisfied,matter of fact I still hear things I would like to change but if I don't move on I won't ever make any more music...lol!

on Cairo by jfw

elephant guitar huh? Excellent - love all yer guitar synth stuff and can tell yer havin great fun - it comes through. You have a great ear in everyway for putting together so many different things! In particular I really appreciate the harmony guitar - not sure if that is a pitch effect or if you played 2 trax but either way - its great - and love the gentle "pad breakdown".

jfw replied Unknown

Thanks for the listen Haven! The guitar harmonies are simply two tracks of guitars harmonising. Glad you liked this!

on Lost In Life by bmw2000uk

this is very well done - electronic music is still kinda new to me so I am learning - I really appreciate how patient you are with this - you let each part develope just perfectly before making any change - great work!

bmw2000uk replied Unknown

Thanks for your review. Yes i like to spend time on my tracks to get it perfect as can be, i like to make good tunes, not half good tunes.

Peace...

on Bradd - Well Aint That Dirty by DjBradd

on Show Me What Love Is-SpellJammer feat Slap Johnson by AllenV

Hi Allen - really great - especially your guitar work is fabulous - you really have a great ear for the fills behind the sax - very tasty - nice tight mix too. Great job, slap on the sax - and anyone i may be forgeting - is that a live piano or loops? it's a great sounding piano. hats off!!

AllenV replied Unknown

Hey haven!That would be SpellJammer on keys,he does a great job.I appreciate your mix comment,I didn't realize just how much work goes into mixing.I kid you not...I have at least 8 or more mixs of this...I couldn't make up my mind and the more I mixed,the more I wanted to mix lol.One challenge was that Slap played to the track minus guitars and as I added them the dynamics changed so I had to adjust his levels real time,I couldn't just set it and leave it...lol.Another learning experience but I'm glad it payed off and you enjoyed the song!

on Makes You Wonder DnB by EzIcarus

this is really nice work - I actually never really knew what breakbeat is - i am assuming it has a lot to do with the tempo and beat style - is this related to "glitch"? - sorry I just dont really know my electronic genres very well - its got nice intensity - love the flute!

EzIcarus replied Unknown

Thank you Heaven. Breaks are all about the drum pattern and the other instruments too, Drum n Bass, Swing and Funk are all breaks driven.
