Sounds a bit like blues rock, very soulful, the original parts and the guitars as well. I dig the piano especially. Playing a new guitar is always so much fun, especially if it's a player. An older SG? Bigsby? I especially like some of the tailpieces on those guitars. I used a Rickenbacker 360 for a week or so and fell in love with it.

Totally cool, hats off to both of you.

Thanks Man...
I really try not to play like everyone else, but really there is no way
around it because like talking, we all use the same words depending
on how large your vocabulary is, it's no different in playing an
instrument it just depends, on how much you understand what you
can say with it.... :)
Yes...This guitar will stay with me, my friend lost 2 of his fingers in
a work related accident...Companies fault he got payed big time for it...And he gave me the Guitar, being the one that got him started
playing in the 1st place...
The "Rickenbacker" is a nice Axe, but like a "Les Paul" just way to heavy for my taste, sounds good but don't want that hanging on my
neck all night....LOL...
Glad you enjoyed the track...

Peace...TG.

on Dark Origins by Deathbot

Pretty cool track, it has a cool edgy sound to it, a bit industrial and rock with some electronic elements to it. I would suggest putting some more volume on the final mix, I did crank it up though. I like it, mix sounds decent. Big deep bass, yup, like that! Not too sure about the clapping and vocal parts but the music rocks. Reminds me of Fatboyslim and the Chemical Bros. style of music, electronic rock.

Good stuff!

Damn, this is very well composed. Didn't you just comment on my latest track about posting a song without drums and getting backlash? hehe

Contemplating the "big" questions about life is profound. Most people don't think too deep about such things. I found when I had something similar happen and I did the same thing. Just to be able to display those emotions in the form of music is pretty special and therapeutic.

Totally enjoyed the track, honest and beautiful!

on DuRaRaRum by traz75

Wow, this is an ambitious song. My guitar parts sound a bit out of key though a bit flat.lol There are some very cool parts to this song, I really was digging the part about 55 sec where the strings come in, I replayed that part a dozen times.

There is a lot going on here and you seem to have been given some input. I recommend simplifying the song and just picking the best parts out and focusing on those parts. I have to hand it to you though, you used a lot of people's loops, pretty creative on that level alone.

Wayne

traz75 replied 15th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks, Wayne! Yeah, i see your point. Your guitar loop are really out of the tune a bit in this track, and that part are a bit "flat" or "rough" compared with the rest, this is because i find it interesting to leave that part a bit simple, made for a contrast against the more complex other parts.

I think i will make a shortened and "harmonized", less chaotic version of this somewhere the mid-range future, when it's already "out of my ears", but that will be another song i think (like an nitro and outro version for something).

Regards, traz

on Future in the Past by Planetjazzbass

Hey Dave! Have to say the intro was great and captured my attention right away. Loved how all the parts flowed so smoothly, the transitions were smooooth. Nice job to both of you. Zappo and you work well together, you guys are on the same page for sure.

I have to comment specifically on the guitar, there is some very cool psychedelic guitar here around the 5:00 minute mark and after. Felt like a trip back to the 70's when jam rock ruled. The bass is sounding sweet as well.

The last couple minutes were a trip, really brought a smile to my face to see where you guys took this. Fav and dl, thanks for sharing!

Cheers!

on Right There By Your Side by ChuckBaileyBand

There are a lot of good ideas here, lots. I think the mix needs just some tlc.

I would cut back some of the limiting/compression. It is killing the dynamics of the song. There are so many cool things that need to sit back a bit further in the mix. They add a lot to the song. By using so much compression these things now are as loud as the most important parts of the song and they now interfere just a bit.

Just my 2 cents.

on Sandys Beat by ScottB55

I had to look up who Sandy Nelson was, pardon my ignorance but after listening you are correct sir. The drums do indeed have a similar style and are also very cool. I dig songs played using lots of toms. I love good old straight up blues based rock and roll. I want to sit in and jam, ha!

Ever hear of Hoyt Curtin? One thing he was known for doing was tv cartoon themes like Jonny Quest in the 60's. The drums totally rock in his music, you may like his music, figured I would suggest checking him out. Been listening to him a lot lately.

Not sure how ya got Ian Anderson to play some flute but that was a neat choice of instruments. ;) Was it live or a sample? Cool horns, guitar, keys and of course the drums were exceptional. The composition was as great as the execution on the production/playing.

Well done Scott and company!

Wayne

ScottB55 replied 15th May 2015 - 11 years ago

Hey Wayne,

Thanks for your most pleasant comment. I sure wish we could jam together. Although I do love making music digitally with my friends, I do miss live playing.

Sandy was a big inspiration for me. Not a great drummer, but he played allot of drums in his music, which, as a kid, I really liked. I looked for anything with drum solos. Hell, I literally wore out In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

I checked out Hoyt Curtin and, although I've heard his music for years, I never knew who he was. Really good stuff BTW.

Yeah, Ian and I are pretty tight, so he helps out on occasion. These were samples, unfortunately.

Cheers,
Scott

on secrets of resonance featuring megapaul by promenade2239

Hey Alex, this is a cool rock track. I played bass with a drummer for a short time who played like the drum track you put together. He, like the track, was a solid rock drummer that could always throw a some kind of fill or change making the song so much more interesting. He never overplayed and it always fit the song. I like the drums here, they are interesting all the way through. Snappy snare too!

After hearing the intro I wasn't sure where the song would be heading. The theremin was a cool choice, not every day you hear that in a song. Real ones are reasonably priced actually. ha All the guitars and synths you used blend real well, plenty of space in the song but boy, there are a lot of things happening.

Well done to you and megapaul on the guitars, not sure who did what where but all of them were placed to mix well. You can do so much in the rock category, to me one of the most versatile genres. Always a pleasure Alex!

Wayne

promenade2239 replied 11th May 2015 - 11 years ago

Thank you Wayne!

Firstly I am happy you liked the drumming. It's from EZ of course and it is some fine funk performance with lots of cool ghost/dead notes.
I think it fits perfectly Megapauls style which is extremly funky, here is the list of loops I used:

Orange Pudel Solo:
http://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/61318/orange-pudel-solo-guitar-85bpm-by-megapaul-free-85bpm-reggae-electric-guitar-loop

Some of them are played much faster though (the actual tempo is 110bpm). All the rest is me playing Roland synth.

I listened to all (over 200) Megapaul's loops and am so impressed of the quality of his guitar work.
For sure I will try do more in a rock area as I only used only a few of his loops here (which I downloaded earlier). I do not play guitars of course so I will always need someone to make them for me if the genre is anywhere close to rock. I guess this one is still more a funk-rock or simply fusion.

Thank you again for some nice words. Always appreciated!

Best to you, Alex
