Good title, even if you went all the way "with the Jonses" it would be cool. Catchy pop rock, dig it! You guys work so well with each other and you have a consistent sound with all your songs. Nice job folks!

Refreshing piece of music. All the pieces are sitting in their place in the mix and not fighting each other, well done! Honestly, this track made me want to go explore somewhere, expand my normal boundaries.

Hey Michel, I noticed that you mentioned that these are "only drafts for possible production". I totally get what you are doing, feeling out ideas and trying to get something going with a singer(s). I do like how your music and her vocals work together, she seems like a good fit. Some cool guitar parts, pretty dramatic song with a big time feel.

First off, nice production, mix sounds great! Trippy, cool piece of music, nice collab fellas. To me it has a reggae type of feel to it, it's laidback approach with the psychedelic, spacey atmosphere you guys created took me to a higher astral plane. :)

on my muse by phantomproduction

Another fine pop rock song man! Singing is once agin solid and the music sets a fine bed on which to lay them on. There's a weird click at about :43 that stood out to me, maybe on the vox track or a snare hit gone rogue. ;)

Wayne

phantomproduction replied 19th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

exact there is a vocal hitch (like on armagueddon, but I was able to delete it on this one, I deleted the word) on this one I could not have cut the sentence! I am thinking of a trigger for Lauren's vocal compressor, but I have the voice like that and I have to deal with it !!
thanks for all wayne !

on THE CHOKE - Royal Blood Boxing Club DEMO by thechockehold

This has an acid jazz feel to it, basically urban modern jazz. I have the first "Mushroom Jazz" disc, from a series, and this reminds me of some of that. Free flowing, impactful and certainly well performed and put together. I think Jaco Pastorius would have dug this.

on I hope Youre Alright by ValveDriver

One of my fraternity brothers disappeared one day back in the 80's. It was after he had left school and was married with kids. We searched the woods in his town for him and no trace of him was ever found to this day. Strange how that shit happens.

The song has a lot of tension and texture with the main synths that you used. I like the bell ring of the ride cymbal and the almost subdued drums, they sit well in the mix to my ears. The track gives me that sense of a journey and not an easy one by the sounds of it. Nice job!

Wayne

ValveDriver replied 19th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

Hey, Wayne.

It is strange. Even in people that are known to take off for awhile without saying anything. It's that one time when they just don't come back and you're left always wondering.

As far as the song, A tense journey is exactly what I had in mind. I just kind of imagined his life and his personality and what he may have been facing. I imagine that what he sees in this world is nothing but another obstacle to overcome. As loving as he is, his instinctual drive for independence is beyond that of any human I've ever met.

There are a few things that still need some tweaking in here. I'm not 100% on the piano part. But, it'll do for now. Once I can get back to it, I will.

Thanks for stopping by, mister. It's always appreciated.

Take care.

on Popcorn by chell55

First off, good title for this track. Has a good positive vibe as I listened. Those little notes that are bent or frequency shifted are a nice touch. The effect that sounds like a wave crashing onshore puts me on the beach on a hot day, I miss the beach. The vocoder vox is neat, those can be fun to play and experiment with.

Wayne

chell55 replied 18th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

That was actually the title of one of the samples in it, it fit to perfectly! I cant take credit for those bent notes! that was part of that popcorn sample. Usually i dont like to really use a sample without changing it a bunch but that one was to perfect to mess with! Just need to get through a few months of cold! It'll be summer before you know it! Thank you!

on Paranoid Ft Sergi Yaro by Polairis

I like the idea but it's waaaaay too loud. The growly distortion after about :50 is a bit much, maybe a compressor was turned up accidentally. The singing was working with the beginning musical part but the mix needs some attention. We all have volume knobs to turn a song up but once you've introduced something that saturates the mix that much, even turning my volume down doesn't help.

Damn fine track! The bum notes make it sound real, finger squeaks on the strings do too!! Love when it sounds played rather than manufactured.

Wayne

bdurbano replied 6th Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

Cheers mate, the finger squeaks were because I'd just restrung a classical to find its bridge had worn on the B and high E side, but thought would see how it worked as a rough sounding effect before I replaced the bridge to fix it as it wasn't mis-fretting yet - and so just never bothered re-recording as didn't mind the sound.

on Saucy - updated Feb 2021 by randomuser13

I'm no expert in this genre but this is put together pretty good. The vocals sound great, recorded and mixed well. I am always a fan of trying to let the song breath a little more with the compression on the master track. It's pushed here but there is good space, instrumentally, in the song so things aren't competing as much as I would have expected if musically it was busy and cluttered. Looking at the waveform I thought it would have been much more in my face but it sounds loud and punchy and pretty clear.

There is always something to adjust. The hard fact of doing this. lol

on Need My Help feat CWRD by ProdTRAPDOC

Not bad for your first trip to someone's studio!

Honestly, after years of playing live and recently recording people at my house, I found that meeting and working with people in person is a growth aspect of your career as well. It puts you on the spot to perform and have to get the job done, then and there. We are spoiled how we record so nonchalantly at home by ourselves, taking several shots at a vocal when you are only wasting your own time. But when it could take up someone else's time and possibly money too, well, then that's a game changer. Right?

Well anyways, great job man, hope you had fun!

Wayne

on Instrumental 1 - A Sunny Day by BaoBou

That lead git has the warmth and tone of the front pickup of a Les Paul, perfect for this track. Nice punchy bass playing as well. Keys add a lot in the rhythm section, quite a lot to appreciate here! Well Done!

Wayne

BaoBou replied 3rd Oct 2020 - 5 years ago

Thanks a lot Wayne!! Actually this is a new guitar (new second hand), I managed to find a "cheap" Silver Sky, so it's a strategy sound, but with lots of reverb and distortion on it (and you're right, that brings it close to my LP).
Lovely, lovely guitar - yes it's a Fender rip-off but by Jove, Mayer and PRS did an amazing job on it, highly recommended.
Thanks for the nice words, as always!!
