Funny and true! The things people tell other people online about themselves is amazing. Now facebook can recognize people without their face even being in the picture. They know too much about people's lives and these folks seem pretty ignorant to the fact that they are collecting info on them.

I dig acoustic music and great lyrics about society. I've been working on a punk song about social media and such things, should be finished in a few weeks.

Nice job! I thought the vox could have been centered but a simple mix with limited instruments always works for me.

on javafan by Kikajon

Hey man, good to see ya! This mix is sounding pretty clear and punchy, nice job! Nice easy tempo to rock out to, can't stop my foot from tapping. Great guitar tracks, well played and the tone is nice and thick, gotta love those Fender Tele's! Reminds me a bit of Lou Reed.

I just did an update on garageband and played with it for a few minutes. There are some nice sounds in there, loved the stand up bass plugin they have.

More tunes please!

Wayne

Kikajon replied 9th Aug 2015 - 10 years ago

Aw, thanks Wayne. It was nice to get inspired. Got a few tunes in my head and somehow they might just pop out some days soon. Just to keep your feet tappin'. Cheers.

on Fairy Roads Updated by MGproduct

Very nice idea overall. I like the singing, wish it was clearer but the idea is good. The drums seem a bit loud maybe even a little busy for the song, just my opinion. My suggestion would be to soften them with some more reverb or lower the volume a bit, even simplify them. Pretty cool idea though, well done MGproduct!

on I Know The Way by ScottB55

Like Evan, I liked the vocals. Thought they sounded like Howard Jones a little. Very cool track Scott, guitars were awesome and the synths were nicely added. Lot happening here but still spacious. The whole composition is great, from the arrangement to the performance, it rocks!

Hat's off to all involved!

on ARENT YOU CLEVER ft LAURIE WEBB by lechina

I really like the vocal track and especially what you did with the music. It works well with the pella and doesn't overpower it. Pop rock works for the genre, catchy as well!

Wayne

lechina replied 13th Aug 2015 - 10 years ago

Thanks a lot for the listen and comment.Glad you could enjoy it.Well Laurie is a vocalist,she's a pro lol, thanks

on Unholy Interface by wordybum

Dig the instrumental intro, heavy and captured my attention instantly. I've always loved rap/rock fusion music. Some of it leans one way while some of it leans the other and the creativity of the writers and producers can really set it apart from other songs. You guys have a cool sound, I'd come out to watch you perform. You both and the band in general rock, keep 'em coming!

Cheers!

on Farewell my lovely by DijamMusic

I can definitely hear the emotion in the track regarding the story in your description. I like the shaker? reverb and how it is mixed in, sounds nice in the background. Very pretty song!

on Never Got To Live by dxDennis

Intro was great, the run at about 12 seconds was to die for!! Pianos and pads work nicely together. Although I would doubt that a drum kit would be appropriate for a classical genre, it still has that overall feel and overtone to the track. Sounds more pop to me than anything but it definitely crosses over the genre spectrum. I like the appegio synth too.

Nice track, enjoyed it!

Wayne

dxDennis replied 30th Jul 2015 - 10 years ago

Thank you Humps, I guess pop really fits better than classical.
The genre-input-field while uploading is always the biggest challenge for me, lol.

My favorit part is around 1:12 to 1:20 maybe one day some women likes to share her voice with me for this track, that would be awesome. I would love to try/hear it with a female voice.

on Summoning Poseidon by Tomzovic

What a cool collection of sounds to create a very abstract, atmospheric and unusual track. A bit cinematic as well. I like the name to the track as well. Good job!

on Internet by Rhodesy

It's always interesting to hear people's music and mixing techniques. Mix is wide but damn this is real good music. Could be just what you were looking to do, a particular sound you were trying to get so I mean no disrespect. I was just the first thing I noticed besides the awesome intro and guitars.

Pretty funky to start off with then progresses into a cool synth/alt/prog/rock piece that was very well produced. Cinematic, absolutely, I could hear this in a sci-fi or action flick. Guitars were nice, the interaction was excellent and the effects were spot on. I love this length of song, gets people to hit that play button again because they say, "that was cool and it stopped way too soon", lol.

Welcome to the loop man, great song, have fun!

Wayne

Rhodesy replied 27th Jul 2015 - 10 years ago

on No Mot Juste by GramoChopin

Some cool piano for sure. Crazy key change at about 2 minutes. Very cinematic, minor scale to impending doom scale, lol. I like the pad that builds towards the end in the background. Pretty neat song.

on Traffic Jam by Spivkurl

Hey Spiv! Good description, set me up for the listen. Holy cow, 11 months?

oh-ho, love that sample! There are some cool chopped vocal samples with heavy amounts of effects effectively popping up here and there. That and the synths you've manipulated go together great.

The overall production, to me, sounds like you captured exactly what you were going for, a low fi type of production but it's definitely not low quality. Let's not get them confused, this is quite a quality track and very different from almost everything else I hear at the loop. A bit like Gary Newman meets Devo, then genetically modified with your genes! lol

Always a pleasure!

Wayne

Spivkurl replied 8th Aug 2015 - 10 years ago

Hey Wayne, thanks for stopping by! I'd love to be able to label this song "Non GMO" , but with some of these vocal clips, I can't do that with a clear conscience. Really, the vocals clips are not very heavily effected, which is a bit scary. There are some very disturbing individuals around this town I call home. I've been trying to make a decent hardcore song for a long long time, and I think this is about the best yet... I'm going by the observation that this is #2 for plays and #1 for comments within the genre here on looperman today. You're quite right, low fidelity and low quality are not the same thing. It's good that it doesn't sound like the every day looperman track offering to you. I really have never enjoyed Gary Numan, and have no real opinion of Devo (I like Mothersbaugh though). From what you said, it sounds to me like I impregnated them, then they bred a child which was this song... creepy image. Thank you for listening and leaving your words!

on Untitled Folk Tropical by 15ludwicke

Very nice song but it's not folk. Folk music is done with traditional acoustic bluegrass instruments and most often with singing. Folk doesn't involve that type of drums either, usually played with no drums. Synths and fake hand claps aren't used in folk music either. This is electronic music with an acoustic guitar track in it, maybe pop.

With that being said, it doesn't mean I don't like it, I really like it. The vibe is light, fresh, airy, a bit Celtic with the tin whistle and the down beat. There are some nice melodies and I like the selection of sounds you used. Well done!

Wayne

on Legacy of the dark mind by DijamMusic

The guitars sounds great, nice tone and well played, really enjoyed! I thought an element of darkness was present like I feel when I listen to the Doors.

I liked some of the synths/pads you used, some seemed a bit loud in the mix but they are nice choices. More specifically the noise aspect of the synths seemed a bit loud to me, maybe by choice. It's all good.

TI dig the whole chilled out vibe. The fact you made it darker than most people's attempts shows your creativity and open mindedness with music. Nicely done jamid!

on Tripwire Valley by Evisma

Really enjoyed the track Evan. "Bunnies and meadows" lol. Ya know something though, people who like bunnies and meadow music might start following your music now. In essence you are growing your fan base and that is one reason why we do this.

Good to hear the beginning part and how it seems to evolve into a harder edged sounding song, a little more of what "your sound" sounds like. There is a Celtic feel going on that seems to permeate through the whole song. Some diversity in the guitars as well always works.Nice work man!

Wayne

Evisma replied 29th Jul 2015 - 10 years ago

Master Wayne.

"people who like bunnies and meadow music might start following your music now"

Not sure if I want to meet them. My wife and I keep to ourselves because we've noticed that MOST people really suck to be around. There are few in life you can truly trust, and people who are really into bunny-meadow music probably wont make it onto the list!

Thanks for the listen and the kind words!

on Trial-and-Error by soundhound

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.

Wayne

soundhound replied 21st Jul 2015 - 10 years ago

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!

on ephemeral by Neomorpheus

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!

Wayne

Neomorpheus replied 18th Jul 2015 - 10 years ago

Haha, yeah I was really hesitant to post another track without drums ! But so far so good here. Shhh! Maybe no-one will notice.

Thanks Wayne.

on 07 Smooth As Me by Eighteen

I can't ever say I've heard anything quite like this. I don't listen to electronic music much but from reading some of the comments here you did something very unusual and off the wall, lol. I tend to agree but I like that it is so different and jacked up and full of energy.

Well done Eighteen!

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 - 10 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!

Wayne

Planetjazzbass replied 26th Jul 2015 - 10 years ago

Hey Wayne,thanks buddy..Zappo is definitely a great composer and like you I always love to hear his guitar playing,he obviously has a deep influence from the period you mentioned(unsurprisingly seeing as he's in our age group)...cheers mate be on your page soon. Dave :)

Great tune Scott, this brings me back a few years! The horns in the original are unbelievable, you did a great job with this version. I'm always watching all kinds of music on you tube and I'm always finding myself listening to 70's music, there was so much great stuff then this one being quite memorable.

Well done Scott!

on Comanchera by Neomorpheus

Nicely done! Very cool guitar indeed. Totally digging the drums. Nothing more fun than cranking the amp up a few dbs!! I believe Billy Gibbons was on a recent episode of Live From Daryl's House(Daryl Hall) and performed a few of his classics. If you have some time check it out online, it is very cool. Gave this a few listens and gonna fav, well done!

Wayne

Neomorpheus replied 13th Jul 2015 - 10 years ago

I will definitely have to check out that episode. Billy's getting up there in age but can still play. Thanks for weighing in bro and YES, finally someone who likes the drums! Thanks a lot Wayne.

Hey Richie! Hope all is well. Sounds like you've been busy. This sounds great, nice singing by Lisa. There is an easy feeling to the mix, soft and gently. The piano stands out, very nice work.

Just listened to Spelljammer's version, two wonderful covers.

Cheers Richie and Lisa!
