on Tang Butterfly World by DanGoldstein
The drum part at the beginning I thought of as it's tiny heart beating and starting it's day. Then comes the stress and tension of the daily life of a butterfly, fighting winds, looking for a bite to eat and avoiding bug zappers.
Thanks, that was different!

on Mojave Sunrise by Orlando51
I've never been to the desert and have always wanted to go. I get an ocean sunrise every day so I imagined that instead. The second half had sort of an Asian feel with the plucked instruments. I did get the feeling of discovery, a new day dawning even though there seemed to be some darker moments or tension in there as well.
Cool piece Orlando, it's open to many interpretation and it seems to be a hit as well!
Wayne
Many thanks for this positive feedback! I'm on a very tight schedules lately so my new material will have to wait for a while to be uploaded, so I decided to give some more exposure to some oldies in the meantime and so I picked this one for no particularly good reason apart from the fact that it wasn't played too extensively before..:) Also thanks alot for faving it !:)

on To This River We Will Run by ScottB55
How many mics do you have on your drums when you record them? You always get a solid sound.
Dl and a fav , so thanks to both of you for sharing!! Always a pleasure man!
Wayne
The vocals were in a collection I found a while back. They were broken up in short line, so I just put them together to form the lyrics. I, than, worked the instruments around them.
For my drum tracks I use an Alesis electronic drum kit: http://www.alesis.com/products/legacy/dm10-studio-kit and record my tracks on a Tascam digital recorder. I can get whatever drum sound needed. My acoustic kit these days is for display only!
Cheers,

And I'm slowly getting there with the mixing side of it, so any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
on Someone is inside my head by Rhodesy
The guitar sounds nice, I've never heard of it so I will have to check it out online. Sounds like a PRS a little. Solid track sets a certain mood with the solid groove and almost hypnotic guitar with some neat effects.
Sounds great!

on Dance of the rebellious ragdolls by traz75
Very cool production, all the pieces of the puzzle perfectly fell into place. The introduction is built up nicely then the guitar takes the track in a different direction. A good variety of changes and some cool effects like the delay you used on some of the loops. I like it! I am going to dl this so thanks!
Wayne
I don't know this show, but i think your comment were positive one, so thank you too, Phatkatz. :)

on Abandoned Sanctuary by Orlando51
I liked your last track as well, similar concept and just as interesting and can be interpreted many ways.
Wayne
with a bit more versatile palete of instruments and sounds.
I really like your alternative imagination that the track evokes for you and it's absolutely true that it can be interpreted in many ways.
Thank you so much for listening and for this friendly fedback...and the 'fav' ofcourse...means the world!:)

on Ed - feat Tumbleweed by VickyDan
Very calming piece of music. Dig the guitar, subtle early on but shines like a beacon in the light in the second half. Nice changes throughout the song. A bit ethereal, spacy and dreamlike feeling to the track. The vocals suit the piece of music, some nice effects on them, the guitar and the overall piece.
Well done Dan and Ed and the lady singing!
Wayne
The musical remedy seems to be good .... I find your generosity in your words. Thank you from the whole team ....
Take care of you.

on This Mean Motor Scooter by Evisma
Mix sounds good, I can hear all the instruments separate in the mix. Rock on dude!!
Wayne
"How are you processing your bass?"
Same as always. Line 6 pedal, it gets compression, very light chorus and a digital delay, then into the interface and DAW. The biggest thing is that I record EVERYTHING twice, getting each line right twice, then panning them. I never duplicate something and pan it, it's always a separately recorded line. That is what gives it such a full sound. I hear SO much bass guitar that sounds like it was a D.I. feed that just got dumped in the middle of the mix. Tool's "46 & 2" grabbed me by the chest when I first heard it. It really made me feel like the bass was the most powerful and colorful instrument.
The middle is a bit more calm, but I felt the bombastic flankings needed a separation.
Thanks for droppin in!

on Night In Tunisia by ScottB55
The piano is extremely well played and a nice tone to it. Is is real or a plugin? Drums are perfect, I can hear all the parts of the kit, toms sound great and I dig the rim shots. How many mics on the kit and where did you place them, just curious?
Fine job, as usual, you are having a good year so far. I will thank you for the dl!
Wayne
Thanks a lot for your kind words. This is a favorite jazz piece, in which I've done this and another big band version done a couple years ago.
The drums are done with my Alesis electronic kit. It's much easier than trying to get a good sound out of my acoustic kit. That would be a nightmare!
Cheers,
Scott
on Uncle Johns Boogie by ScottB55
I've been working on a dixieland type style with some rock thrown in for a few months. This one is more authentic though. I am a fan of dixieland and have a few greatest hits cd's. It's energetic and full of power.
You really managed to put this song in a specific time period, great job with the arrangement and instrument selection and performance. The horns are great and the banjo sounds cool as well. Way cool vocals and crowd noise.
Great job Scott, going to dl and fav, thanks!
Wayne
