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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 !

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!

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!

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 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!

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!

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!

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
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!

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.

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!

on Hello darkness my old friend x Sam Higo by BananaLu
Well this is different mr. banana. There's a cool tension built up with the music and the vocals. The backup singing parts are neat and the doubled lead vox(with some delay?) makes the vocals so much bigger in the mix. The acoustic instrument at the end helps the dynamics of the song.

Very cool!

Wayne

BananaLu replied 31st Oct 2021 - 4 years ago
Hey Wyane, thank you alot that you listend to my track. And thank you that you noticed the little details in my track. I´m very inspired of Kurt Cobain and David Grohl. So my lead consist of 3 layers. First i sing lead with 100 percent power. 2nd layer is a imitation of Dave Grohl backing vocals 50 percent power and my 3rd lyer is a slighlty pitch corrected version with -20 db mixing. and i put on vocal bus like 3 different reverbs and 3 different delays each have their own task and i automated fx by my mixing desk. I wish you a great Sunday and send you energy.

on The Wide Expanse by StarTravels
Trippy 70's styled psych/rock/jazz song. Cool changes, liked how it slowed down it's feel mid way thru. Some cool leads on that synth(i think it's a synth, git maybe). Vocals always add to a track, liked how these vox sounded in the mix, fit the feel of the track perfectly!

Nice collab fellas!

Hello Wayne,

so nice to hear from you again. Yep, we're extremely satisfied with this track especially since it was quite a struggle to get the sound under control. We're really glad you've enjoyed it.

Fun, bouncy track! Definitely has an island feel to it. That dance sounds a bit risky, anyone get caught between the bamboo sticks? ouch

Who doesn't like bananas? They are so a-pealing and tasty.

Hahaha i want to make phillipines bananas morefamous, thats my new goal in life. Did you know that people in south america had wars over bananas? And this bambo stick is really crazy, but we learn this at a young age and without shoes. It learns you a lessons when you are a child. Focus and dedication and that somtimes life is just pain.
