on WORDS by laurentwirz
Oh yeah! Nice mix, when you going on tour? ha! I could hear this on the radio, it would appeal to a few crowds, the pop and country crowd for sure.

Good stuff!

Thank you Wayne. I have nothing important to say about this tune. Recorded with friends a long time ago. Just fun to add two "light" loops from Rhodesy and Zacwilkins. Just a happy tune.

on Goodbye by mildperil
Interesting vocal chain. I must admit I've never heard of any of it except for isotope which gets mentioned on this site, ha. You get a big sound so it's working. I will do some research into what it all is, sounds expensive.

Nice song, well done to both of you! The piano is excellent!

Thank you!

The vocal chain was actually really cheap considering how much can be spent on this kind of thing, I just a lot of research before buying, but I'm happy that you think it might be an expensive set-up :)

on Henry Pascal feat Stepa K - Nothing Left by HenryPascal
Very well done! Catchy track for sure, has a pop sensibility with a dance influence.

As someone who believes in getting to the hook or chorus quickly, I would bring the bass and drum beat in earlier. Long intros loose interest in my opinion, especially if you are looking for "imaginary radio airplay". I know you are trying to go for the big dance genre intro but honestly, those songs aren't on the radio for that reason. It has potential in the dance clubs if lengthened or pop potential if shortened and remixed for that crowd.

I would add a little more bass to the mix too. Not bad for 6 hours!

HenryPascal replied 8th Mar 2019 - 6 years ago
I am totally agree. The question is: why not half-way? We are talking about imagination, so in another dimension (another life) maybe this track is a planetary success, in the dancefloors the same as in the radio airplay. Never too old to dream :) Thank you for give a chance on this, i got your tips and maybe can fix the fixable :)

How did I miss this one? Hey Patricia, been a while, still love your voice just so you know! Commercial grade work here on both your parts, you should be proud.

This is really, really good! Really! ha!

Hey there Wayne, it's good to know there are still some old skool Loopers here. The place has been remodeled, some furniture has been replaced, there's new people hanging around...hehe.

Thanks for stopping by. This is one of those songs you come to back to an old place with new people and be like "remember when"? Ok, I'm rambling, the new paint caught my eye. lol Thanks Wayne. :-)

on where the wind blows instr by priest39
Great music to listen to when i paint a picture or do something that involves being creative in a non musical way. It makes my mind wander and open up to new ideas and approaches to a problem or issue. Don't you just love how music can affect us? yep.

Mix sounds really good, easy on the ears, nice track!

on Grand Theft Auto by KnightHeir
The vocals sound great, nice job mixing and recording them! Like others have mentioned, it has a early '70's rnb feel with a modern delivery.

Thermo-meter, kudos for getting that in there, made me play that part a few times, :).

Cheers!

on Igdtrap x In Da Kitchen - Fibanaccii remix by Fibanaccii
Not my usual listening material but i must recognize what is pretty good work. The music fits the vocal track and that isn't always easy to do. Mix sounds solid, lyrics are dope, hard and make you want to listen closely.

Cheers!

on Gypsy Jungle by royalnation
Absolutely loved the beginning, great intro! The flute after 1:00 was a nice addition, old timey, a bit different from the modern feel of the track.

I dig percussion so this automatically piques my interest. The didgeridoo at the end was not expected. The asian strings worked well with this drum beat too, all the strings did actually. Interesting track, certainly not a pop track or something radio friendly but that stuff appeals to people who want to hear something different and off the beaten track, which i like, cool!

on Fall Out Boy - Sugar We re Goin Down COVER by Mahloo13
Good cover, does the original justice, the mix sounds great!

Interesting to see the comments on how close it is to the orig.? I tend to try to bring my own feel to covers but who cares if this doesn't. You are showing your mixing skills while giving the band a little exposure here, everyone wins!

Good job all around, band sounds good and so does the song!

Cheers!

Mahloo13
Mahloo13 replied 25th Feb 2019 - 6 years ago
Thank you for the words! Since I only made the mix and the master I couldn't quite change the overall feel or style, it was meant to be as close as possible to the original.

You've pointed out really well the exposure thing, it's a win win situation, and since I have been mainly mixing and mastering throughout my career it seems appropriate to back up my words showcasing some of the mixes. I just can't post anything that goes through major releases for obvious reasons, and besides, getting clearances to post previews of such projects would be a pain. Every single cover I've posted is clear to be posted and it's up for discussion regarding techniques used, tips and tricks etc.

on Stratton Moon - ft steelyvibe by zipbass
Well put together track, pop is a good genre for this even though it has elements of several genres mixed in. Not really music i would listen to outside of music sites like this but decent songs that can widely appeal across the musical spectrum is a good thing. Makes opening your mind to other genres a lot easier, thanks!

Cheers!

on Its Over by Magiq1
Old time rnb/soul with lots of feeling in the vox. I agree with priest about the vocals, could be the mic you used, a little boxy but the idea is there and well performed. Brought me back to the mid '70's, good stuff!

on Folded Time by royalnation
Certainly no shortage of sounds to keep me interested all the way through. I'm not much on long songs unless they really hold their own all the way through. Mix was solid and the composition had dynamics and texture like you promised.

I felt like i was part of a video game, a pinball sorta, ha!

Creative!

on no title by BLEEP
Very professionally sounding mixed song Bleep! I am not a big fan of electronic/dance music but honestly, when i hear a cool track that is well put together and has a certain vibe that will get a crowd on it's feet, I have to say it's great!

A Jazz feel with a touch of Latin, the percussion works well. I like how the vocals work too, they get a bit off tuned along with the music, I like that!

Well done!

on Misguided by neuromancer56
The strings remind me of ELO in some parts, was expecting Jeff Lynn to start singing Evil Woman, ha! Has a cool early 70's r n b feel to it, the cracklin' record sound makes me want to go get my record cleaner and dust the record off.

Sounds good!

on Island Coconuts by ronabo
Love the island feel, tropical warm winds blowing as I sip my rum drink and enjoy the vibe. Stand up bass sounds cool, gives a live feel. I'm a big percussion fan so I was diggin' this right from the start. Horns work, vibs and piano are just enough.

This make me feel like home, living at the beach is great! Time for a drink...coffee right now.

on Problems Rap Instumental by DMindProductions
Hey man, this is pretty cool, I like that it's stripped down to it's basics and the idea, the mood, the tone of the song is what makes this good. Many songs are so overproduced that the idea gets lost in the production. Kinda like in a great movie, sometimes the ones without the special effects are the best ones cuz the story is just great.

Needs some vocals, icing on the cake.

Well that's my 2.5 cents!

Happy new year!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave genuine feedback! Yeah I had an idea in my head and stuck with it, that's how I produce my sounds. I go by sound, I dont just randomly throw plugins and effects together until I make something that sounds cool. I appreciate it man! Happy new year to you aswell

Vocals sound cool, reminds me of George Michael and the guy from Grizzly Bear combined....or you, ha!

on Aceite Pa Tu Lampara by DanGoldstein
Heya Dan, Happy new year!

Cool track. I'm not a big fan of the auto tuned vocals but it does work here to add to the flavor of the latin track. Percussion is always a favorite of mine to hear in latin tracks, timbales, congas and the electronic glitchy sounds are great!

Reggae and all it's offshoot genres have always been an interesting listen, the twists of all the different genres adding to the basic reggae sound is an instant island/beach sound that resonates to most people who like music and tropical drinks, ha!

Take care!

Wayne

DanGoldstein replied 5th Jan 2019 - 7 years ago
so great to hear from you Wayne. i inherited everything related to the vocal track. but yes - creating the latin flavor with the percussion was what I was all about in this one and the fact that you responded to that is gratifying. best regards and happy new year! Dan

on Yellow by BLEEP
Sounds cool, jazzy and a bit electro too! Cinematic, I could hear this in a movie, a slow dance scene for instance.

Horns sound really good, sax takes the lead, such a sultry sounding instrument. What are you using for the bass in this one? Punchy sounding.

Dig it!

Wayne

BLEEP replied 3rd Jan 2019 - 7 years ago
Hello Wayne,
Glad to read you enjoyed this sound! For the bass, i used a "picked bass" patch with some filters on it, but nothing really exceptionnal :) i try to stay near the real sound i have on my bass guitar.
Each time i work on a track, i search my bass line on my guitar and when i found it, either I record it directly in my music software and flip it according to the latency, or I play it directly on my synth. This time, i played it on my synthé :)

Thanks for your words, i wish you a happy new year!

I like the idea. It has a modern feel and also a throwback jazz/swing beat slowed down. I hear some Amy Winehouse styled vocals and some lead instruments thrown in there too, well in my head at least.
