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!

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!

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 - 3 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.

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!

BananaLu replied 31st Oct 2021 - 3 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.

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.

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!

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?
