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!

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.

Cheers,

on Banana Beat 01 by BananaLu
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.

This just put me in a very mellow mood, that's good when you can affect the listener that way. Like the song a lot, the singing was great by both of you, you sound great together!

on In To Flames Ft Sergi Yaro by JrSims21
I like the song. The vocals and backups are cool and the musical treatment works great with them to set a tense and maybe mysterious atmosphere.

I would try to get the track a bit louder, if you compare the size of your waveform to other songs it's a bit small. Also try to clip off the minute and a half dead space at the end. :)

on A million words by sirefox
This is cool! A bit mysterious and dark. Great job with mixing in the vocals, they sit nicely in the mix. To me this song has many of the basic ingredients that DePeche Mode use to create their hits, basic and cool drumming, neat vocals and lyrics and just enough electronic sounds to fill the space and create atmosphere.

Well done!

Wayne

Hola amigo Wayne, tienes razón en lo de que te recuerda un poco a Depeche Mode, porque se puede decir que ha sido uno de los grupos que más he seguido desde sus inicios, y siempre me ha gustado su forma de hacer música, así que algo se me habrá pegado inconscientemente. Te agradezco de corazón tus comentarios tan positivos y tu apoyo. Que tengas una buena tarde compañero. Paz y salud.

on the night has come by phantomproduction
She def has a vocal that can hold her own like in that intro. You created a nice musical bed for them to sit in. Nice sounding snare. :)

Cool change at the end with a neat ending to the track. I would call this a very efficient track, nothing in there that isn't needed as well as not being overproduced, well done Michael!

Vocals sound a bit like Melanie Safka, which is cool. A sullen song, a bit melancholic but it's a neat song. Hope all is well!

on Smooth Operator - Santana Style ft Karina by Bilbozo
Sorry to hear about our arm Bill, hope you recover with newfound skills!

This is nice, always liked this song. Great rendition, the Santana sound works well in this context. Singer has a great voice for this tune.

This song reminds me how much I miss live music, nice mix!

on Europas Whales by Zootman
pjb perhaps?

I have sleep issues as well, sucks, too many concussions.

At times the song sounds like the constant ticking of a clock, a death march for the sleepless. And water, especially water dripping, can cause the mad to loose their minds. At least I hope so, lol.

Whale-ish in nature, cool underwater clicks , pops and the calls of nature are a nice touch.

I just watched the classic Moby Dick this morning, coincidence?

To me this has an old time feel, smokey jazz club, late at night. The drums are updated and there is some nice stuff going on in the background to keep me listening closely. Love that muted horn sound!

on NIGHTLIFE by sirefox
Sorry but I'm not much up on the trance genre, don't listen to much of it. I can say I did enjoy the track though. Driving beat, catchy arpeggiated/delayed melodies spread throughout the track. Nice mix, I can hear all the elements clearly.

on Swampking- with Bicky Stalls And The Snushbakes by ValveDriver
This is some cool, long haired, hard rock band shit! The wah wah pedal is a great one, a classic! Metallica, Black Sabbath come to mind as I listen. Would love me some Hetfield or Osbourne vox on this.

Wayne
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 29th Sep 2021 - 4 years ago
Wayne, how ya doin, bud?

First thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. It means a lot.

I take it as a giant compliment that Sabbath and Metallica come to mind. Those two bands, I think I can honestly say, are two of the bands that had the most impact on my musical tastes. I would actually like to hear some Ozzy vocals over this, too. But it has to be 70's Ozzy.

Thanks again, brother. I appreciate it.
Take care.
Aaron.

on We aint got no money but we got rain - C Bukowski by pseudoble
Pretty interesting track, like the concept! So that's the author reciting it? The music is impactful, goes well with the topic. Sax was a cool addition.

"And an invisible chicken in every pot", ha, great line!

Hey Wayne - thanks for listening mate - yeah thats Charles Bukowski reading his poem of the same name (whilst getting drunk - he was somewhat infamous with the booze) - he is writing about the rain in the depression ... hence the line but yeah its a good one

on 12345 by SYLKE
You forgot the word catchy in your description!

I would work on some of the levels of the backup singing, the first half seems a little soft and the 2nd half seems a bit loud. You can see the difference in the waveform. Just a suggestion.

on melampus by xstokes
Well that was different! Text to voice synth? Interesting. The voice sounds like something from star wars. The words were cool and with that effect on them it really went well with the sounds and effects you created.

I've come to expect a "no holds barred" type of approach to your music, which always makes a listen an experience. Thanks!

on Annihilation -feat steelyvibe by pseudoble
The drum track jut meanders along, doing it's own little jazzy thing. I like the way the bass and keys work together. Interesting vocals/spoken word track.

If you go back into this, the one adjustment I would make is to add just a bit more reverb to the vox and lower the volume a bit to make them sit in the mix a little better, to me they stick out front a wee bit. I have issues with getting the volume right on my vocals all the time, it's hard.

Cool track, nice vibe!
