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!
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!
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.
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.
Thanks Wayne, I really appreciate your comments and Fav. I am glad you mentioned the bass because I had fun playing and creating the feel of it on my keyboard. Rum sounds good right about now, eh?
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.
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
Thank you so much, Wayne! Apologies for the VERY long delay. I don't get back here as often as I would like. I'm glad you enjoyed the track. We had a blast recording it. Stay safe!
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!
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
Calming, smooth and well put together. There are some nice percussion and effects/sounds that add so much to the feel of the track, quite a variety. I don't have any idea what make this deep house but I don't have to to enjoy it!
I can feel that, Its funny that you say that cause I was actually experimenting with a break in that direction. Great minds brah! You just confirmed the thought process! Um Elevating, Lol
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.
Thank You Wayne, I esxpress my feels while I'm producing, and they came to you into some way. It does not matter if what was in your head is not the same as mine, what matters is that it generates some mood. That's why i've appreciated your words so much!
Thick, heavy, raw. The reverb and effects soften it, I think that is good production. Sounds like you were going for it on the vocals, attitude comes across well in vocals. A bit trippy, psychedelic in a way. The track rocks.
My suggestion would be to work on the vocals and the delays on them, to make the initial impact of the words stronger. I love delay, prob my fav effect. I listened both on speakers and headphones, thought the vox could be louder, more out front.
Thanks for the listen and feedback Wayne. I agree with everything you brought up. Vocals need to be refined and brought up in the mix. I am still going through old hard drives looking for the master. All I have right now is a rendered mix of where I left off at. I hope I can track them down. Would love to try and polish this.
Holy crap, blew me out of my mixing chair, powerful right from the first note!
How the vocalist can even talk after a show or a recording session always amazes when they use this technique. I give them tons of credit.
Mix is loud, powerful, guess it pretty much matches the music genre. Would sure be off it the mix wasn't limited as much as it is, giving it that punch.
Not my usual listening material so it's hard for me to, off the top of my head, compare it to what I've heard recently. It's loud. Really loud. Maybe I'm just getting too old, ha!
It feels good to see some of the old users still being around.
The vocalist is just fine :)). It's technique more than anything.
The limiter is actually there to bring the volume up, the punch is there even in the mix without any limiting, it's all in the balance of the individual tracks. But yeah it is loud, really loud even for my taste :))
And speaking of coffee I gotta get me some as well"
Cool track Mark, mix is really clean, big and bright! I dig delays so the gits were just right. The pads are a nice touch too, they can really fill space subtly and add so much depth. Vocals are sounding great too, sitting in the mix perfectly!
The title and the composition are well matched up. The song sure chilled me out and made me reflect on times that weren't so violent and filled with hate and mistrust. I guess that's why we sometimes escape to music as a respite from the crazy world we live in.
Hey Patricia, You always deliver with your vocals, impressive! It's nice to see you around, hope you plane to be around more often, you are so talented.
I love the track and it seems like many have offered some good suggestions to help improve it. But looking down the list of commenters I find it a bummer how many of these wonderful artists are no longer active here. I do wish many of these people come back and contribute again.
I am back, who knows how long this time? Life, ya know. :-) But I'm glad there's always muzic, and yes quite a bit of the regulars seem to have gone missing, or are surfing low on the radar. I miss it! Thanks for the listen Wayne!!! :-)
A melancholic tune that's spacious and emotional. All good things to set a cool atmosphere and get a feeling across. Nice blend of sounds/instruments too. Nice job!
There is a level of intensity and tension here that I think would work in a sci fi movie. A journey with many trials and tribulations set about anywhere in a cinematic sense. Real decent mix too!
Ahhhhooooo yeah ! Thanks Wayne. You know the most famous werewolf song ever is Warren Zevons "Werewolves of London". A cult classic which he said was a dumb song for smart people. His biggest hit by far and such a clever song. There's been many movies made over the years about werewolves and yet somehow the monster with the deepest history and the most realistic origins is among the least popular. Did you know Lycanthropy is real? Its a rare psychiatric syndrome that involves a delusion that the affected person can transform into a wolf. There are many documented cases that date all the way back to the Bible which refers to King Nebuchadnezzar's behavior in the book of Daniel 4 as being a manifestation of clinical lycanthropy. Crazy huh?
The movie Southern Comfort from back several years comes to mind. Don't mess with the locals.
I've worked in the bayous of the deep south when I traveled the country splicing fiber optic cable years ago. It's different down there, dangerous to some extent. This piece really puts me back to the days of sitting on the railroad tracks in the middle of nowhere surrounded by...your soundtrack basically.

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
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!
