on for coru on her yacht by xstokes
Almost expected to hear some Pet Shop Boy's vocals on it. Don't know why but I do, ha! To me it has the mid 90's alt rock feel to it, The The, Tom Tom Club....

on Secret Lulliby - BILBOZO by Bilbozo
Hey Bill! So what did you get for a new git? I recently purchased a 2023 "inspired by Gibson" Epiphone Les Paul Standard(smokehouse burst) and a newly re released Marshall Guv'nor pedal, unbelievable sound for the money, couldn't be happier. My guess, you bought a PRS.

Nice track, dark, metal song. Overused the tremolo? Can't be done, impossible, he. Vocals work great with the music!

Take care!

Heya Wayne. You guessed right another PRS guitar. A custom 24 with a Floyd Rose on it. The Les Paul sounds like you are having a blast with it. I have heard lots about the Gov'nor pedals, giving you that tubey Marshall sound. I hope you are having fun with your new rig !

on No Turning Back by Micky
To me the threshold is too high on the compression on the track, too loud and things are competing in the mix, my 2 cents. The waveform shows that block look which is telling. Nothing wrong with the song, very peppy, upbeat, you always bring something cool to the table.

I have had Logic Pro for many years, some nice sounds and instruments in the package. I found it a bit difficult to use and not as easy a workflow compared to Ableton but it definitely is a step up from garageband. Make sure when you bounce down a track to check in the wav/mp3 settings when bouncing down to turn off the normalize. For a while I missed that when making mp3s and my tracks sounded too hot and not the way I mixed them.

Always a pleasure Mickey!

Hello Wayne, how are you? Glad you liked the song. Yes, and thank you for the helpful tips. I tend to be a little loud - I guess it comes from my youth... hehe. I already knew the normalization button and used it on this track too. I think I'll grow into Logic - since it looks like Garage Band, I'm already sold on it.
Cheers

on Look At You by dimestop
Ambitious production Paul. In some way it reminds me of the Style Council. Music is light, has its standout moments. It's def your style, well done with the lyrics as well.

Hope all is well!

on I Peter Jackfruit by Mosaic
Very nice track Mos! The vocal effects are what I notice first, they work well with the music. Someone mentioned floating in their description, good way to put it. The music just floats along while the vocal bits sit it them bringing them more into the focus.

The side chaining effect is fine with me. Each song needs it's points of interest and you used this effect. I'm ok with it, maybe you don't use it again for months. It stands out here because it's prominent but it works fine here. I certainly don't know all the elements of house music but if it sounds nice, I'm down with it!

Cheers!

on I ne ma Yahi by krotan
If i were to go out on a limb I would say this is your style of electronic American native styled music. I'm not sure if you've heard Native American music before but it, in some way, made me think of that.

Well done krotan!

Wayne

krotan replied 17th Sep 2023 - 3 years ago
Thanks Wayne. I've never heard Native American music... But the track is really inspired by reading books about Indians. And I think this is a good reason to get acquainted with their music...

on Show It To Me by ClickbaitCabaret
I'm so glad you add vocals to your tracks, so many people here that make "electronic" music never attempt to try to do this. To me it adds another dimension to a track, a huge one. They def add to the track. Solid track, has some cool guitar in it, lead was neat!

Well done, again!

on Dissassosiation by ClickbaitCabaret
I certainly don't know much about witch house but I'll take your word that this is representative of the genre. Has a scary, dark, cinematic feel.

Menacing vocals help to give it a more personal feel as opposed to just an instrumental which to me you are looking in from the outside. Vox help to bring you in as part of the song more, you feel the person's pain, happiness, anguish.... more.

Good stuff!

The intro was interesting but the bass line is what caught my ear. Some cool changes and there is no shortage of energy here. Fun, creative and got me going as I have my first coffee of the day.

Great track!

on 4-19 - The Key To My Heart by BaoBou
To me it has a Paul Simon feel to it. It has an upbeat and positive vibe. The lyrics are relatable and tell a sweet story, well done!

The quicker and simpler the song comes together, the better the song, that's what I find happens.

What did you do with the new setup?

Wayne
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 24th Aug 2023 - 3 years ago
Paul Simon!! Yes that's absolutely it and that's also an amazing compliment because that's probably one of the most amazing poets of the previous century.

Setup: well, I moved from a cramped apartment with no real space (via some (mis)adventures) to a place where I can have a study - which is also my man cave and has the space to really set up all my instruments in a more or less permanent setting, so I can start drumming, playing guitar or keys, or singing at just about any time (barring company time of course) ;)

It's amazing and liberating and just about perfect!

Lovely track despite some of the sadder lyrics! The vocals are cool, I like the tone and timbre of his voice. The git lead was cool, nice tone! Totally enjoyed this!

BaoBou replied 13th Aug 2023 - 3 years ago
Thanks Wayne! To clarify, the vocals are mine, as is the rest - it's just not based on something that happened to me.
The guitar tone is nice, yes - this is a temp setup but I actually like how it turned out.

Cool intro first of all. There are so many great sounds that all layer nicely, you must use a lot of tracks while constructing these ideas of yours. Quality mix. Takes me back to the 70's. Another fine track Micky!

Micky replied 6th Aug 2023 - 3 years ago
Hello Wayne, nice to hear from you. Yes, 44 tracks and by the time I had knitted them all together I really couldn't listen to the track anymore. I have no idea how I finally got it finished enough that it was worth uploading to me. I've also thought it might be a lot easier to make stripped down, thrifty tracks, but I've found that it's not one iota easier...quite the opposite. Your benevolent, encouraging comment means all the more to me. Thanks very much.

on Barbie Ferrari by ClickbaitCabaret
There is plenty to listen to, some neat things going on, synths and pads are cool for sure. Has a NIN feel to it, Head Like a Hole goodness! Driving song? Could be dangerous listening to this and driving, he, some songs do make you hit the pedal a little harder.

thanks so much Wayne, ive been doing far more on the production side.
had 3 vocal cuts on this in three different keys and i side chained my fx's in and routed everything through bus channels. you know the proper way, i now feel i understand what im doing and trying to achieve. less of me just winging it,
when i first started it was a couple of tracks, music on one, vocal on one, and fx on side slots, there was 22 layers on this :))
thanks again for your support as always mate
