on How to Loot Brazil-Eating Stars - Pseudoble - Rmx2 by pseudoble

This is pretty cool! To me it's alt rock, reminds me a bit of a band called Belly(and it's off shoot bands). I like the vocals, neat effects on them. Pretty decent track!

Wayne

pseudoble replied 13th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Hey Wayne - yeah youre right its more alt rock or indie sounding ... Dont know Belly but I'll check them out
Thanks for listening : )

on Strawberry Fields Forever by BananaLu

Well done Banana! Mix sound fine. Kept going to my door, was hearing the sound of a doorbell while listening.

Turn up the Strawberries!!

on Demasiado pronto - Ashesndreams by Ashesndreams

Nice track! Simple songs are the best. I like the guitar and the vocals, they work together nicely.

If you plan to go back into this I would try lowering the volume on the vocals a bit and add some more reverb to get them to sit in the mix a little more. The reverb should spread the vocals out, boost them a bit and make them fit in better with the instruments. Just my suggestion.

Wayne

Got it, thanks for the suggestipn, im still learning

on Trying feat Jenna Evans by AtticElla

Just by looking at your avatar I could tell you were good at making house.

This is upbeat and fun, the vocals seem to work well. Punchy mix.

Wayne

AtticElla replied 7th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Thanks for listening Wayne. Really appreciate it.

on Modnex - nO gRaViTy by Modnex

Different and interesting, some neat sounds. Keep trying out different things. These daws are so full of cool plugins, sounds and effects that it's mind boggling sometimes. Have fun!

Wayne

Modnex replied 7th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Hey Wayne! Thanks, mate! You're so right. At the end of the day making music is about having fun and exploring new things. It truly is amazing what we can do nowadays with a few clicks on a computer.

on Irrational Needs by crucethus

Great transitions between the parts, that stood out most to me. The ending part was a bit of a departure from the rest of the track but I have no issues with it. I couldn't tell you what Italian Club music is but I like to eat an Italian club sandwich. I mean, who doesn't?

Mix was solid, track was interesting. Good, distinct parts.

on Full Circle by AtticElla

This, to me, has a beach feel to it. If I were to be laying on the sand at the beach with the sound of ocean waves crashing, this is what I would want to be hearing playing on the portable stereo. And maybe some Bob Marley, he.

Wayne

AtticElla replied 5th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Thank you Wayne.

on Take the Sky by Nodog

There is a nice intensity and pace to this. To me it would work as a cinematic piece in a thriller.

on RUN AWAY TRAIN by T576

Cool man! You and the King have been lighting it up with the jazz lately. Neat song, nice dynamics. Guitars fit so well and the dude can play! Well done on the mix, hmmmm, lo fi jazz.

Wayne

T576 replied 4th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Wane, I try hard to make the production make sense. You are correct about KING. He is doing some serious Jazz. I try to encourage the younger guitar players that practice does make perfect, and repetition makes Genius. My headphones tricked me on the lofi.LOL Will stop by. PEACE. T576 OUT.

on You Trap Up by AtticElla

This is relaxing and chilled out. I think even if you hadn't added the vox track it would be solid as an instrumental. But the vocals add a nice dimension and another layer of interests. Nice one Ella!

Wayne

AtticElla replied 1st Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Thank you Wayne, appreciate the listen and the nice comment. =D

on All of the Love Unlocked Kanye West Inspired Beat by TheFemiFactor

As I have no idea of what a Kanye beat is I can't really make any comparisons or comment on that aspect of your description of the track.

I do like the drums and percussion, not your typical drum kit. The horns are expressive and they all work together nicely. There's certainly enough interesting bit going on!

Wayne

TheFemiFactor replied 28th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago

Yes! I was definitely looking for something different with the drums but the horn and the brass are definitely my favorite part of this.

Thanks for the feedback Wayne.

on Letters from You by traz75

A nice song traz! Sure, pop works and to me this would sound cool in a film showing a passage of time or time lapse photography. The mix is nice and clear too.

Wayne

on Sojourn by HeathAlexander

Sure, this works for a decent earful! Creative piece of spacey, electronic mind tripping music. Good music for a documentary on space or the universe or a music and picture collage. Well done !

Wayne

HeathAlexander replied 27th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago

Thank you.

on Midnight by mildperil

It's great how just a vocal with one instrument can be so powerful. I always say, the best songs are the simplest. Nice recording, nice effects on the vox, nice lyrics too!

Wayne

mildperil replied 29th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago

Thank you, Wayne.

I have to stick with simplicity as it's all I know! :)

on Never Said by AtticElla

The groove is fantastic, first of all. Your vocal sample is fine. Phones record well these days and to transfer the file onto a computer and into your daw is easy peasy. Keep messing around with it, you will figure it out. I like this kinda music when I oil or watercolor paint, just let it keep looping in the background for hours. Nice one!

Wayne

AtticElla replied 22nd Nov 2021 - 4 years ago

I'm really happy you liked it Wayne. I might explore the possibility of singing in the future but right now I'm too intimidated and my voice is not very well trained. But the feedback I've gotten gives me hope.

You do oil and watercolor? My father was a painter, did both as well. The house always smelled of turpentine lol.

Thanks again for listening Wayne. =D

on Not Waving But Drowning by Zootman

I especially like the tremolo on the guitar. Kinda spacey, a bit trippy. Not a big fan of the drums but i do like the overall feel and atmosphere of the track. Vox sound decent in the mix, interesting lyrics too.

Cool!

Wayne

Zootman replied 28th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago

Hi Wayne, thanks for the honest feedback. Might be right about the drums, maybe I'll look at trying some lofi type hits. Cheers

on PLANET DA FUNK by T576

Kind of a slinky, jazzy funk. Smelly? It doesn't stink at all! ;) Good tv theme styled music, Huggy Bear would've liked this on as he strolled thru the hood. he

on I just wanna die - pseudoble remix - by AAP ft HDF by pseudoble

This is very cool, ethereal, spacey, trippy, psychedelic...

Vox sound great, they sit in the mix rather than stand out in front of it. Panning instruments with freq's that interfere with the vox to each side helps make them stand out without having to turn them up. Reverb, I find, helps sit them in a mix and can also bring some volume. I like how you mixed them here!

Wayne

pseudoble replied 18th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago

Hey Wayne

Thanks for listening mate and once again for the warm feedback.

I see you have a new one - will give it a listen now : )

on New generation trance by sirefox

Wow! Fantastic track, energetic, crazy at times and certainly an earful! Almost has a Depeche Mode feel to it, which to me means it's very cool. Great intro, cool sounds that sucked me in, instantly. Great track!

Wayne

sirefox replied 18th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago

Hola amigo Wayne, te agradezco tus lindos y cálidos comentarios, me alegra mucho que te haya gustado la pista. Depeche Mode ha sido uno de mis referentes en los 80 y es uno de mis grupos preferidos de siempre, por lo que seguro que algo se me habrá pegado de ellos, ya que me gusta mucho su forma de componer. Que tengas un buen día compañero. Paz y salud.

on Next to You by AtticElla

Pretty cool mix, it's compressed enough, I can hear all the instruments fine. The track has a mellow, sultry feel to it and some cool, textural elements in it. Neat tremolo effect on the piano too. Nice job Ella! Enjoy the Attic!

Wayne

AtticElla replied 18th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago

I'm not exactly in an attic but it's close enough. It's on a second story above the garage with a window in front of me so it feels like one. I actually wish I could have my studio in an attic and hence the name. I love attics.

Thanks for the kind comment theHumps!

on True Minimal by Killick

This is nice, strong piano track. Did you by chance use any of the piano plugins from Ableton or from in the Packs? I haven't been able to get a solid piano sound from within Ableton. Just wondering what you used.

Thanks!

Wayne

Killick replied 18th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago

Hey Wayne, so glad you enjoyed. No I didn't use any of the packs for the piano on this one. I used Pianoteq Studio. But I did use Ableton's grand piano hybrid pack for quite a while.

The only advice I can give is based on my personal experience. But what I did was built a custom instrument rack for the Ableton piano and attach a few stock plugins to it. Then I just set that to favorites, so I'd always use my pre-set.

I'd EQ 8 and boost a high shelf, (Not too subtly either, 2 or 3 db) a little light compression, saturator with drive boosted a bit, then reverb/delay. Just the reverb on its own will make a huge difference, piano really benefits from a sense of space.

Hope that helps!

on Winter Lake by pseudoble

Enjoyed the percussion, it set an early feel as to where the track was to go. Neat soundscape you've created, the vocal snippets are a cool add. World music I would call this.

Wayne

on Henry Pascal Vs Luca Urbani - Non Sono Pazzo by HenryPascal

This is pretty cool Henry! I like how it started. The music has a Devo sorta feel to it. Nice mix, good depth and dynamics.

I think your vocal track came out pretty good considering you mentioned all the issues you had with production. Well done, fun song, it moves my feet!

Wayne

Cool pop track! Catchy and the masses would eat this up. Relationships are the best singer/songwriter topics.

So sad to hear about your pet. Your anguish is uniquely expressed here. Nice track, well mixed. Cool reverb on the vox. Guitars are spot on!

Wayne
