Hey Wayne,

thanks for your comment, i'm glad to read your positive feeling!
I'm french and sometimes i don't catch the meaning of ideas. Here, i don't understand "plenty of space"... like silences?

Anyway, thank you again :)

Hello Wayne!

The choice of compressors is irrelevant..as I've said many times the emulations just provide a certain vibe and allow me to get results faster as I already know what they deliver so it's easy to just reach for a certain vibe. You can pretty much get the same results with stock plugins, it's all a matter of getting to properly use attack, release and threshold controls on any given compressor.

For example to replicate this particular scenario you could ride the level of the vocals going into your stock compressor which would have a 3:1 or 2:1 ratio a slow attack and pretty fast release, while the second compressor would have a 4:1 ratio with a medium attack and a fast release and the third would be something like 2:1 for ratio and slow attack and medium release. Again you would have to listen in context and see how the compressors react from word to word and how they muffle or brighten the sound, it's all in the ears honestly.

I've always said it...it's not the gear that mixes the song...it's the engineer.

Thank you for the review!

Greetings, Master Wayne.

I appreciate the kind words. As for tuning, I'm usually Drop C sharp. Everything down a half step, then my low E string down another whole step, so the E goes down 3 frets, everything else, 1. I have to use heavier Guage strings and aggressive truss bar adjustment.

Peas.

Thank you Wayne. I usually keep them in the under 5 min range, this one just begged me to keep going. On the compression, I have not used it before. I will add some on the first part. not sure how to use compression so I will play with it. advice always welcome and take in. thank you.

Hey Wayne,
thanks a lot for your nice comment.
Good to know that you like what i have done on the musicaly side. Working with and on Burts CBG's is always something cool to do. Also nice to know that you enjoyed the lyrics.

stay tuned

Hola Wayne...always a pleasure to hear from you. I'm really glad to hear that you find the piano lines on the positive side. It was pretty adventurous to me to rely on piano so much in this piece, yet according to feedbacks it worked somehow and I'm glad for that. Thank you so much for your friendly review and the fav !

With much appreciation_____Orlando

Hello Wayne,
How you doing mate?
I’m sorry it has been a while you know how it is?
I do agree with you it is so hard not to add bits
and pieces to the mix when you on the roll.
I am glad you like it mate and thank you
for your wonderful feedback and support.
Thanks again.

RickMal on the production. thanks!

Hello Wayne! It's good to hear from you! This is definitely not my usual style, but since it was composed by someone else, I can forgive that... ha ha. You're nice to compliment the mix when compared to the original and other remixes. The claps were in the stems, and I was making an effort to use them all... partly because I had only heard the original once before making this. I thought it might help give more of a nod to the original that way. They do however sound pretty artificial though, I agree. Having the midi files was really helpful, since I could do some hardware sound design with the composition in mind, at least without a bunch of thought and analysis. I appreciate you taking a listen and leaving your words!

Thanks so much, Wayne! I'm crossing my fingers that we'll get to create a longer track. Sending you good vibes. :)

Hey wayne, thanks alot man. Its a relatively new genre, but one i really enjoy. Tons of energy like you say, great to dance to too ! Thanks for stopping by and having a listen, james

Thank you very much!

I'm starting to think of my songs as more soundtracks than actual songs, and the feedback that I'm getting suggests that too.

And thanks for stopping by and listening, much appreciated :)

Thanks Wayne, yeah good to know you dig some Latino sounds. I have sprinkled several of my latest tracks with some of it but this one is pretty much straight forward. Haha, so you even like the grito huh? Yes, I took a chance putting that in but it fits and I enjoyed doing it very much. More than one might be over doing it tho. But its after all very popular in mainstream musica Mexicana. Glad you dig it man and again Gracias for the kind words of support.

Hey Wayne, thanks for the awesome words dude! Be sure to keep your eye out for it when it's finished, thanks again :)

Greetings, Master Wayne, you picture changin, avatar switcher, you. Neat image.

"The pad you chose..."

That is a time-stretched section of guitar that comes in a while later. The synth comes in for the end section, though I do hear why you heard that.

Glad you liked the music box. I really dig those and thumb pianos, but they sometimes give an eerie, demented child feel to a track and I have to use something else. It's mostly here to reinforce the piano, but I brought it back for it's own section at the end.

I do hope all is well with you.

Hi Wayne,
thanks for the listen. It certainly seems like a long time since I made any regular visits to the site...but I hope to try and change that lol.

Thanks Again!
Elaine

Ha!

Right on Wayne! Thanks!

It was a crazy day!

Mike

Very thanks theHumps!!! :D

Again thanks!
