My KRK 10" sub loved the track! ;)

on Disco Boo by EricMilligan
That's so sweet you wrote a song about your cat and I love the Bailey Boo singing parts. And the vocals works so well with the music, great effects on them, reverb is perfect.

Sure, I'm back in 1975 with my stylin' moon shoes on my feet and mood ring on my finger. lol

Good stuff!

Thanks, Wayne. And Bailey thanks you as well! :)

I'm pretty sure I never had moon shoes (don't actually know what they are), but I think I might still have my mood ring salted away someplace in the bottom of my sock drawer! :)

on Glaciers of Triton - Kirkoid Mix by Kirkoid
To me it has a very cinematic feel to it, sci fi movie material. Sometimes a low bpm works with these soundscape ideas.

Well done!

Cool track, mix is decent in my headphones. Nice lows and some cool effects swirling around. A bit of a dub feel, nice!

on Will The Light Ever Shine Back Thro by dimestop
I personally wouldn't call this folk. Drums would be real acoustic drums and real acoustic guitar, no loops. This is pop or one of the electronic genres. Not that it's any big deal, just saying.

It has a laid back approach and to me it has a summer vibe to it. Vocal panning throws me off a bit, that might be your style of mixing tho. Sometimes it's nice to do a more peaceful sounding track with impactful lyrics, it can come across to listeners as more powerful a track. Well done Paul!

hi Wayne, i get you on the genre thing, it was the only thing i wasn't sure about. it is a protest sort of thing but as it was soft and delicate, i googled it and the 3 options were as i put in description just went with folk cos it was first but possibly more commercial than folk. and thanks for the nod on the panning. after mixing it yesterday, i had three vocal layers routed to the vocal buss all different, i sang it 3 times and didn't use panning, just stereo separation and volume levels, so i thought, until i checked this morning after reading your comment. i had vocal on track 3, 6, 7, the latter 2 had stereo separation 3 had panning instead of separation, ive corrected that now, 7 was the main vox and i did try panning 3 to the left and 6 to the right, i didnt like it at all so went for separation so big thanks on that, minor errors can make or break a track. is it just me but i put so much in to writing and layout structure, full concentration, yet become sloppy and rush the finishing touches which should be the most important, i just find it incredibly boring:))

on They See Me Shining featuring SkiMidi by Tumbleweed
Ed! Good to see again! Also good to hear that sweet guitar again. Nice laid back track, has a bit of that vintage rnb feel to it. Keep at it pal, this is the fun part in life if you can keep doing it.

Wishing you the best!

I like when lyrics are about the mundane things in life, the odd things we observe and find interesting enough to think about and create something cool. Like the idea!

on You Already Knew by Micky
In the first 3 seconds I thought of the 70's song Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye and got reminded a few times in the track. weird but true, lol. Cool track, lots of dance-able energy in this one. Rollerskating in the 70's to this kind of music.

Hope all is well!

Hey Hey Wayne, yes, I remember the Na Na Na song. It was actually kind of cool. The track would definitely be good at the roller disco, hey hey... mine too, probably. Thanks for listening, glad you liked it.

on If I could have by spearcarrier
This has that 60's folk feel to it. Coffee house, sure that works for me.

Updating and getting decent gear certainly makes things a bit easier but so many people have recorded great tracks with minimal and less than perfect gear.

What you are trying to do comes thru clearly, nice job!

on The Unbegotten feat Twanna by Micky
Soulful song Mickey! Cool treatment of the vocals. The song reminds me of music from 70's movies, dated rnb/funk/soul from that time period.

Cool track, nice collab!

on Dont mean so much in the end by pseudoble
Now a days, it says your friends would be admired for even knowing what a harmonica is, he.

I like this, the guitar is squelchy, to me guitars need some effects when you are to create this type of atmosphere. They could even be louder I think. Lots going on, the flute is sweet, the electronic bits are neat, especially in my headphones.

on Composition 7 by Zootman
Cool, I like stuff that isn't "off the rack", stuff that shows some ingenuity and not afraid to try something different. To me, the drums should have been a bit louder, more impactful.

Let the creative juices flow brother!

Hey Wayne, thanks for the listen and feed back mate. Yes, I should probably come back to this and up the drums a little in the mix. Hope you have a great Christmas break my friend. Chris

on Hot Dog by Micky
I'm late to the party but it doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it as much as everyone else who's already commented! Funky but let's start with the fun part of funky first, yeah, lots of fun to listen to, upbeat and bouncy! Listened on my headphones, such a great mix!

Do you mix both with speakers and headphones? I have to have my last listen be speakers. Great headphone mix!

Wayne
Micky
Micky replied 13th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago
Hi Wayne, I mix with two different pairs of headphones (one pair of very simple but absolutely neutral ones and one pair of very high quality) and with speakers. I always switch back and forth between these three sources and adjust each time until it fits well on all three sources. However, I'm not completely happy with the sound of my mixes yet, but judging by the general feedback, it sounds pretty acceptable.
I'm glad you liked the track. Thank you for listening and the fav.

Cheers,

Micky

Cool intro into the beat, it clarifies to some mystical, almost spiritual beat. I've got to say, you can transition with the best of them, some neat and interesting musical vignettes all sewn together quite exquisitely.

Happy holidays pal!

on a r i e by xstokes
From reading your replies I can see what the song means to you. Don't get me started, lol. It's a neat track, reminds me of stuff U2 did about 1/3 into their career, Zooropa/Lemon era. I have absolutely no idea what makes this trip hop but who cares, it's a neat piece of music.

Sorry to hear about your suitcase. I just adopted the neighborhood cat that 4 different people have just left water and food outside for her her whole life, ~ 6 years old. They move away and the next person starts feeding her. I started petting her and she was so lovable and underfed. And when my neighbor couldn't get the cat in a cat carrier when she moved, she asked me to feed and water her. Well by then I was already feeding her and she was sleeping on my bed every night, he. Awesome, most sweetest grey tiger cat! All she wanted was to be someone's pet.

There is still goodness out there, even if in small kitty sized amounts. Don't lose the faith brother. :)

heya Wayne — U2’s a band i’ll try rediscovering. zooropa was the only full record i connected to at the time, seriously cool stuff from edge.
the story about yr new roomie illustrates your point in ways that hit home, dude. redemptive acts oughtta feature more prominently in my head. thanks for that, buddy!

on Ice Planet by StarTravels
Cool intro to begin with and when the groove kicked in I was putting on my earth shoes and transported back to the 70's funk/disco era. Roller skating music from when I was a teen. The cool guitar leads at the end was unexpected and much appreciated, took it to a new level.

Very cool track, nicely mixed!

Hope you find Rob!

Hi Wayne, aha, roller disco... when I was younger I would have liked to go to a roller disco, but we didn't have one. Just the normal Euro Disco stuff, with the unspeakable clothes, hairstyles and so on. I heard some really cool disco in Ibiza. Back then they had a DJ from NY at Amnesia who pretty much had the first maxi singles and mixed them. That really impressed me, especially since he had managed to get people to tear their clothes off. But that wasn't a roller disco either. Anyway, thank you for the compliment and especially for the fav.
Cheers,
Micky

on A Moment Of Reflection by Mosaic
You haven't skipped a beat with your absence, this one is a banger, great intro so it captured my interest right from the start. You say sad but I think there is a lot of upbeat positive vibes happening here. Just the volume automation going from softer to louder shows a rise, movement upwards, a positive direction. There is positivity here too.

Always a treat!

Adding distortion to a cello, interesting. Good intro then it settles right in. The vox and the effects you put on them work well in this context. Good song for the halloween season!
