on Heavy Breath by nln1
The effort is there with the singing, that's what matters. Could be worse, it doesn't sound like lady gaga or taylor swift. ha!

Sometimes less is more. I don't know if it needs any more music added, maybe some more giggling. ;)

on got to get it right by dubblebarrelbeats
Cool vox and the bass is sounding nice in my headphones. The idea is solid, I agree with TuneDef, a few changes could help the track. The repeating melody in my left ear could be changed up a bit to bring something new, a different texture, melody.

I like the vocals!

on Chill Slidin by Burtsbluesboxes
I worked in the deep south in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana... during the hot dog days of summer splicing fiber optic cable in the swamps and bayous, city and backwater towns and this just brings me back to those days of working on the railroad tracks sweating my ass off and always hearing this playing, no matter where I went, ha!

I am feeling the heat as i listen. Nice man!

Hey Wayne :D I remember that story on my first swamp tune a few years ago. Never been that far south but the wife's got the woodstove going making it feel hot enough!! It's when you hear banjos you have to worry LOL!!! I mentioned Gitty Gang Show in the description, that's very much like the old show Hee Haw except it's all homemade instruments and indie artists similar to here on looperman, just more country/folk/roots music oriented. I had been just sittin and pickin most of the day taking it easy and thought hey I'll make another video, they like the others :D Well, they really liked this one. How did you deal with the mosquitoes, a flame thrower? Good to see alot of you guys still hanging here. if you haven't put it together, used to use phatkatz4 or Rob Serling ;) ;)

on Intro Outro by Burtsbluesboxes
Like a scene out of a movie. Cool dark themed atmosphere you've created, dig the train, the keys and beeps are ok. Are they on the same recording as the train? I wouldn't mind hearing the track without those as a comparison with them in it. Might not imply as much to the listener.

Hand wound/reversed wound pickups have a unique sound, very cool to hear you are doing that. Waxing them too or too much work?

Neat track, different and long enough to get the idea across.

I recorded the train many times behind that bank. I can probably cut those sounds, I'll see. After a long break I've been back at. Came across this fun little recording and thought to share it here. I have a small crock pot I wax pot my pups in. The hardest part is waiting for the wax to liquefy! Modified sewing machine for a winder. This guitar has a production 6 pole, it was one of my first builds, and my favorite.I'll be recording more with guitars equipped with my own pups. Walking Dead is one, kinda a rough recording/playing on that one. On my amp they're fine but direct to the computer they tend to feedback. I'm making the traditional pole style pups now, but I'm going to experiment with flatpup humbuckers, a real big thing right now in the homemade instrument scene. Over the summer I was invited to show at Maine Luthier showcase, The guy that taught me and I demonstrated pick up winding, I did the traditional style, he did flat pups. Here's a video from there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJq9Tr7IgCU That's my table in the beginning :D Fat Knuckle Freddy is a local performer and incredibly nice guy. Tom Dube runs a guitar shop and sells cbgs made by Marty - Maine Made Cbgs the guy winding/playing the didley bow.

on LOCATION by Frostdog
I agree with Dan, I think some vocals, maybe even a a capella from the site, could bring this song some more life. It would also help to bring down the instruments to a level where they would support the vocals in the mix, right now the instruments are out front setting the stage. Which is ok. The break in the middle where the instruments are softer is kinda what I mean, the vox could sit on top of that nicely.

I'm ramblin, ha! Cool track!

on Shut Up ft mrshammi by DanGoldstein
Hey Dan!

Loved it right from the get g!. Upbeat and fun to listen to. Very surprised there haven't been any takers on this one up to this point.

I used to drive home from work and listen to a great reggae show(and it's genre offshoots) on a radio station in Boston. I used to bounce around in my seat listening to music like this and looked forward to my hour long ride home.

Nice mix, clear and I can understand the vocals clearly. You have a hidden talent singing this kind of music, ;). I want to hear a sub bass in there somewhere, even if it's simple whole notes, something to shake the walls a bit.

Take care!

Wayne

It's great to hear from you Wayne. I listened to and enjoyed something of yours in the last few days but did not think to comment. I remember being impressed and inspired by the fact of people like yourself actually playing and recording real instruments. Still nothing can compare.

I pushed hard to the end on this one and felt it sort of sat okay without too much in the weeds mixing. i'm glad for your confirmation. there is always something else, something different we can do. Best wishes - Dan

on AstroHope by AmberMakesArtStuff
Cinematic/ambient, certainly interesting. This type of music puts my mind on a musical journey, traveling through exotic terrains and distant lands. Nice texture and I like the static in my left speaker that pops up earlier on. Could be used in a film based in space, the future perhaps.

Nice work!

Ahhh, something you don't hear a lot of on the loop, ripping power chords and angry drums, nice! I sure would like to hear this with some vox, the cherry on top!

on Thank You Lord For My Dog And Me by MWRatridge
Sorry to hear about your dog. My friend Jim and his wife just lost one of their dogs recently. It's great to see how much pets mean to their owners.

A tribute song to your dog, straight from the heart!

Time for a......puppy!

Wayne,
Good to see you old fried and TYVM.
Yes pets become surrogate children to their owners.
As far as getting a puppy, we have worked with an animal rescue in the area for 7 years and a mixed 3 yr old dog we have fostered (her name is Panda because of her black and white markings) will be staying with us permanently. She has been a handful and is a little like TNT mixed with enriched uranium lol...she's nuts and strong but only about 18" tall. But she has a heart of gold and loves me/obsessed with me. She's home now.
Mark.

on Spectral by traz75
Ya know, I've never used any of his loops either which is a shame because I'm sure he has some stuff that would work in my music as well. As you used quite a few different uploader's loops I can only assume the best one's are Joes, ;)!

Mix sounds good. Not sure what trap is supposed to sound like but the idea has some power to it and some crazy changes that make it interesting.

Well done!

Wayne

traz75 replied 18th Nov 2019 - 6 years ago
Hmm. But you can play guitar... Thats a lot better skill than playing with loops. :)

Thank you! Was lucky with these loops - i think the genre is "easy", there is tons of trap loops with excellent sound quality on the site. "Analogue" music is a lot harder and less common...

on CRAZY TOWN by CitizenMofo2
Cool track, fun and upbeat. Sounds like something made in Florida, has that southern feel to it....and mentions guns, ha! My opinion it's a bit over compressed causing everything to be at the same level in the mix, leaving no depth in the song and a little fatiguing on the ears but in saying that it's a very well put together song and a great effort by all the musicians and participants in the track.

Well done!

Sounds like a haunted Telecaster, those are the best i hear(from those voices in my head)ha!

Cool tone, nice reverb, chilled out feeling track till the very end....scary! Well played!

Neomorpheus
Neomorpheus replied 24th Oct 2019 - 6 years ago
Hey Wayne nice to have you drop in. You know I never really much liked Telecasters. I played a few over the years but since they were always a favorite of the country players I pretty much wouldn't play one. In recent years I come to realize my stupidity. They are great guitars and I especially love the feel of them. It's possible I could have been haunted by the Telecaster all those years and didnt realize it!

on The Hitcher - new version by Orlando51
Always a pleasure listening to your tracks, so much to listen to and learn about mixing because it's always so clearly mixed. You and Ed over the years have put out some great music, sad he's on a break from the loop but you're still putting out these gems you guys collabed on.

I'm always a bit disenchanted with my parts in songs after about 5 weeks, ha! Sad ending though to your song.

Take care man!

Wayne

Orlando51 replied 31st Oct 2019 - 6 years ago
Thanks alot Wayne,

Yeah, I hope I'm keeping Ed somehow alive until he's back in full form.This was a good opportunity cause the plan to rearrange this thing was in my head for a long time so it came just about the right time when Ed is on pause.

Well...all in all the end might not be necessarily perceived as sad, cause the party continues in heaven...haha...

With much appreciation_____Leon

on The collapse of reality by Indieground
The pads and synths are working well with the well mixed percussion and drums, they aren't banging hard but still make an impression. Like Rexsaw said, the softer textural feel to the track is cool, mellow.

Nice one!

on Blunt Nap by JoeyBonezSD1
There is a personal, real feel to the track, it's "honest" music, not contrived or forced to be something it isn't. I think story songs are the best, especially if they are real and actually happened.

A lighthearted and almost fun quality to the lyrics, the "wake up" man part at the end was good! Ahhh.....memories!!

on CLICKBAIT CABARET THEME by ClickbaitCabaret
A fairly dark and ominous theme you've created. A bit of cinematic, horror themed music, C#m will give that sound to you which is why I love minor chords. This would probably make some decent video game background music, candy crush will never be the same! ;)

Very well executed idea! I love the reggae/ska musical bits and like Joe mentioned and I also agree, Can't Hurry Love/Motown sensibility and pop feel to it. Great summer vibe to the track, upbeat and fun. The guitar sounds clear, nice job mixing that in.

Great job!

on Bridges by neuromancer56
Dude this is cool! Funky guitar at the beginning worked to set the tone of the song. Some interesting textural sounds, from scratchy to smooth.

I like ideas that drift and evolve rather than be too structured. It's like a jam song in a way. Well done!
