on Qualia Dub by Zootman

I like songs that wander and don't have so much structure to them. Decent description. The vocals with the children singing was great, added to the lightness of the feel of the track which makes you float as you listen.

Good stuff Chris!

Wayne

Zootman replied 4th Jan 2022 - 3 years ago

Thanks Wayne, I did minimal quantizing to try to keep it as organic as possible, not sure I succeeded or not, probably just sounds a bit out of time!

on 2 dudes and a ditch - a Zootman Pseudoble Collab by pseudoble

Fun title, made me laugh!

Interesting to listen to, trying to absorb it all in takes a few listens but worth it. Sometimes I find if I give a song several listens I can understand more what the producer's aim was. Sometimes I miss the point totally, lol. Plenty to enjoy and pick out, liked the shaker and the backwards parts.

Creative track, neat collab, congrats to both of you!

Wayne

pseudoble replied 2nd Jan 2022 - 3 years ago

Thanks Wayne - the ditch refers to the channel between Aotearoa (aka New Zealand) and the Australia. Chris and I the the 2 dudes ... though I think he probably has a lot more style than me! Im pretty pleased with this track I guess more so because the final result was unexpected but I agree there is often lots to listen too in tracks if you lean in and take the time to really have a good listen. As always I appreciate your careful listen and the warm feedback : )

on Simple melody for a dance by sirefox

The bells are cool, I like the way you have the effects on them. Bright mix, clear. There's a feeling of good will in the song but a few chords resolve with some feeling of darkness too. Well put together, has a particular sound and feel to it that I like!

Wayne

sirefox replied 30th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago

Hola amigo Wayne, gracias por tu comentario tan positivo, me anima saber que te a gustado mi pista, espero que tengas unas fiestas alegres y llenas de felicidad. Paz y salud.

on aporia by monkwee

Good idea, good effort, no complaints, happy to hear real instruments playing a pop/rock idea. Now ya have to get the mic set up and lay down some vocals! ...maybe someday.

Wayne

monkwee replied 28th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago

this means a lot coming from you, friend! you might be right, i'll have to start coming up with some vocal parts someday soon! Thanks for your time and for the kind words! cheers!

on not waving but drowning - rock version by Zootman

Yeah, this works! Darker version. Almost has some Blue Oyster Cult roots to it.

The echo you are using at the end, is it an echo pedal, digital plugin or what? I don't have an echo plugin, delay is cool and I use it a lot.

Yup, after a few listens, it's Pink Floyd meets Blue Oyster Cult. I like it! he Well done!

Wayne

Zootman replied 25th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago

Thanks Wayne, you kind of spurred me into redoing this with your comment on the first version. I don't really have a real amp any more, wish I did. I just run everything through guitar rig 6 the free version. I can't speak highly enough of that vst it is amazing for all sorts of things. I tweaked one of the presets, can't remember which one off hand. Och aye amigo.

on CICwutUdo by Spivkurl

Hey! Hope you start uploading some new tunes, miss you around here.

Wayne

Spivkurl replied 4th Jan 2022 - 3 years ago

For some reason I did not get a notification about your comment, but noticed it all the same! I hope to come through with new works too, but still need to piece my studio together after several moves. It's been an adventure, let me tell you! At least I have some ideas and works in progress to show for it. Nice to hear from you!

on UNDERMORPHINE - Vitriol DEMO by thechockehold

That bass is rockin, love the slap you got going on! There's a lot to like here, wished it was longer to see where this goes. Well done fellas!

Wayne

thechockehold replied 24th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago

Thanks, dude! Bass it the only thing I am happy with sound of on this one, and it will remain this way till the release for sure. Darkglass are doing superb bass gear their Alpha-Omrga head closed all of the questions regarding the bass I have before:)

on You Have Covered Me by MWRatridge

Hey Mark!

I really liked the 3 part harmony guitar parts in the lead. I always liked bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Thin Lizzy that used harmony leads. Well done Mark, enjoy your holidays!

Wayne

MWRatridge replied 16th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago

Hi Wayne,

I love harmonies with guitars, from the bands you mentioned to Boston. Merry Christmas my friend.

Mark.

on Noche de paz by sirefox

Quite a production!

I think it got a little loud and a bit distorted, watch your threshold and gain on the limiter/compressor on the master channel. If you back those down a bit you will start to hear all the instruments in their places and the mix will open up more.

Wayne

sirefox replied 13th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago

Hola amigo Wayne, gracias por tus consejos, he rebajado la ganancia y la verdad ahora se oye más claro y limpio, estaba un poco saturado. Quería darle un toque esotérico al villancico y la verdad me pasé un poco. Gracias compañero por tu ayuda, que tengas un buen día. Paz y salud.

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 - 3 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!!

Wayne

BananaLu replied 19th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago

hahah :) nice one. I love when tracks play Jedi mind tricks on us. Happens me all the time too :)

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

Ashesndreams replied 8th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago

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 - 3 years ago

Thanks for listening Wayne. Really appreciate it.

theHumps 7th Dec 2021 07:43 - 3 years ago

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 - 3 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.

theHumps 7th Dec 2021 07:37 - 3 years ago

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.

Wayne

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 - 3 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.

Wayne

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 - 3 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.

theHumps 1st Dec 2021 02:30 - 3 years ago

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 - 3 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 - 3 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.

theHumps 26th Nov 2021 14:12 - 3 years ago

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

theHumps 26th Nov 2021 14:07 - 3 years ago

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 - 3 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 - 3 years ago

Thank you, Wayne.

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

theHumps 22nd Nov 2021 04:53 - 3 years ago

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 - 3 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

theHumps 22nd Nov 2021 04:23 - 3 years ago

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 - 3 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
Chris
