on We Are Never Alone - Like You by cyberbugBOB

Sounds like the musical nut doesn't fall far from the tree in your family. ;) Both of you have solid vocals that work well with each other. The music track is great plus you fit the words, delivery and all perfectly together. Your vocals remind me of a cross between Axl Rose and Jon Bon Jovi, strong, original and excellent for rock ballads.

Quite an enjoyable listen.

on Used to be HIPHOP by Planetjazzbass

I bet you've been wearing that beret in your avatar a little more crooked these days homie. Sounds a bit like the old tv series Dragnet theme song at about 1:10, what is the significance of that? ;)

Very cool bass, nice runs at around 3:20, hot stuff. I believe once you understand music, the boundaries are limitless, genres blend and merge and one's personality and skill starts to come through. This is your interpretation of hip hop, more power to you Dave, it shows how talented and knowledgeable about music you are.

I hope someone bites on this and some vocals get put on.

Take care Dave, always a pleasure!

Hey Wayne..thanks buddy,the vocal track is nearly completed care of Wordybum (who incidentally is the real deal when it comes to rapping) I'll be posting it shortly,actually that little Dragnet run is exactly the same riff as a Weather Report song I was listening to the other night but with totally different accents and sounds as spacey as hell(can't remember the name of it at the moment though! lol)..I have a feeling I'll be posting quite a few tunes in a quasi HipHop style...cheers mate Dave :)

on Stealth Matriculation Vocal Mix by Spivkurl

Holy crap, this is a totally different song! This would be great to see you perform this live. Happy, upbeat, some great and interesting sounds that made me want to play this several times. The vocals fit the song perfectly. I love all the synth sounds, you created them?

File this under the genre Spivkurl, nice one man!

Wayne

Spivkurl replied 12th May 2015 - 10 years ago

Hello Wayne, and thank you for checking out the update! Really happy you enjoyed listening! This is definitely one of the songs I would consider adapting for live performance if I ever get to that point. It would of course be very different from this. I wrote most of the guitar parts before sunrise on that guitar I built, and they translated nicely to my epiphone les paul. Thank you for the compliment on the vocals too! As far as the synth sounds go, the electric piano sort of sound was manipulated from a preset to taste, and that little lead sound that plays through most of the song was from scratch on a VSTi. Other than a snare sample, the rest was designed on hardware stuff by me. Makes me happy that you liked it, and I appreciate your words!

on kinetic lift by larrywiggles1

I really enjoyed this track. Sounds like Peter, Bjorn and John with less guitars, they are great btw. I just listen to a great slow song here that started my day off relaxed then this one instigated the coffee I just drank. What a day I'm having, lol.

Great energy. I thought the bell in the middle and end could come down a bit, other than that I am digging it! Thanks for sharing, gonna dl this one!

Wayne

larrywiggles1 replied 9th May 2015 - 10 years ago

Hi Wayne,

thank you and really pleased you enjoyed....and you are having a good day, a little less coffee though!! Going so sort the bell too.
going to give Peter, Bjorn and John a listen.
thanks again Wayne,

on T45-Omar-Soundhound Project by soundhound

This sounds fantastic TG. Even though I read the description the drums still surprised me. I was half expecting real drums from hearing the sweet guitars and bass. Thought the kick could have been a bit beefier but it's no biggie, probably more of a personal preference than anything being out of sorts. It def sounds like something from the 70's.

Wayne

soundhound replied 4th May 2015 - 10 years ago

Hi...Wayne

Glad you like it...

Yes my friend Omar: He did the bed track, so the drums are what
they are... :)...I didn't want to change the harmonics of the track
so I left it as is...
Dropped the Guitars in and tried to put them, in a good place in
the spectrum with just a touch of efx...Keeping it clean and simple...

I agree bass drum sounds strait out of a disco joint back in the 70's
Donna Summers would have loved this groove...Hahaha...

That is why I did a jazzy kinda thing with it, all though you can't hide the 70's in a track, you can try to do something else with it... :)
This seems more sideways now, the adds I've made puts it more
where I wanted it to be...

Thanks again for stopping in, glad you enjoyed it...

Peace...TG.

on Book of the sagittarius by traz75

Sorry for not getting to this earlier. Pretty busy arrangement with a lot going on but in some way it all falls in place. I gave this a handful of listens to absorb it all. Sounds like a wrong piano not at the :19 and :23 sec mark that repeats throughout the song. Sounds a bit detuned almost like an effect but it sounds off to me. Nothing major.

Ambitious track for sure so I'll tip my hat in parting.

Wayne

traz75 replied 7th Jun 2015 - 10 years ago

Hi Wayne!

Thank you!

I think i know about witch is the mentioned piano loop. Anchor's http://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/1988/hungarian-piano-01-by-anchor-free-100bpm-acoustic-piano-loop

A bit weird, i must admit, but i especially like it in this weird track too. :)
I just feels similar like you, the track is somehow almost falls in the first half - but then in the 2nd half somehow simply... everything moves to his place.

Sorry for the late reply too, were inactive recently...
Regards, traz

on The Funk by Mosaic

Totally unexpected to hear this from you. It's almost a funk jazz fusion type song. The flute is fantastic to say the least. Nice job creating space within the song. The arrangement is solid and there are nice accents, dynamics and a variety of sounds to keep it fresh. I didn't hear the earlier version sorry, I can't compare it and make any comparisons.

The drums are snappy and funky, thought the bass could be a bit louder, I am a bass player so I usually tend to think that. :) I keep focusing on that flute, some tasty goodness there.

Well done mate, must say your trip into funk was a success. Off to check out your other new one!

Wayne

Mosaic replied 4th May 2015 - 10 years ago

Hey Friend

Thank you for the review mate, pleased you enjoyed this one my friend, fairly happy with this one, yes considering first attempt at the genre, will try this genre a little later on, hopefully will be even better then this one...Thanks for fav too...Mate the other version of this one Is up on profile, called Let The Funk Begin 4 on The Floor...Decided to leave both versions of this track up, I like both, different but the same in some way, guessing why I like both, if had to choose would maybe put this one ahead...Peace n much Respect dear friend, so no email yet, will have tomorrow mate...Mosaic...

on Betrayed by MOONLYTE

How that style of singing doesn't blow your throat out amazes me. Quite a performance. Hearing this music always reminds me of the song Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies. The elements of a screaming vocal and a more subdued talking/singing vocal seems to work to build tension and can really bring a ton of expression to a vocal performance, obviously.

Don't let life get you down man. We all have issues, getting past them makes us the people we become. Stay positive and def get back into making music, it can be a real the catalyst to some better times. Good luck, look forward to the new ones!

Wayne

MOONLYTE replied 22nd Apr 2015 - 10 years ago

Well, there always is the risk when it comes to this sort of singing, my throat has just gotten used to most of it haha. Thanks for stopping by and your kind words. Glad you liked it. And I'm definetly getting back in to it, nothing will stop me completely from making music, so stay tuned for new ones! :)

on OVER YOU by Mykael

Your vocals sound so much fuller when they are mixed in the middle. You have a distinct vocal sound, very loose and free, very natural and not forced.

You are certainly taking your talents in a positive direction with what you have done so far. Good luck finishing off this one, so far so good!

Wayne

Mykael replied 17th Apr 2015 - 10 years ago

Gotta love a personal message like this, very heartfelt. Hope your mom loved it!

Wayne

AmirGabriel replied 16th Apr 2015 - 10 years ago

Thanks Wayne, She enjoyed it but my stepdad loved it even more lmao I thought about having my sister do the singing for me since my voice was so raspy, but I decided I'd rather take full responsibility for it haha

on Dreams of a Clown by bbedford48

I think cinematic is a good choice. To me it sounds like tv theme music for a show or perhaps music to into/outro a scene. It sounds a bit dated, like SN said maybe the '70's. I can almost picture Bob Newhart jumping into bed with Susan Pleshette... and Mary Tyler Moore, lol.

It's certainly easy on the ears, relaxing and the mix sounds even. Nowadays, we have these daws with thousands of sounds and effects, might as well use them and see what they do. Nothing abrasive or poorly done, they seem to add a certain feel and atmosphere to the song.

Nice job Bob!

Wayne

bbedford48 replied 7th Apr 2015 - 10 years ago

Many hanks for the review Wayne. I think I have too many miles on the clock to sound contemporary. Still I've managed to get to the 70s with this one. Maybe I can get to the 80s next time. :)

on Bring The Sun by ScottB55

This is a very cool pop song Scott. The vocals are great, who is singing? The horns and strings at 3:30 is a nice dynamic change. Drums sound nice. You always seem to have even mixes, everything in it's place.

Tip of my hat to all involved!

Wayne

ScottB55 replied 8th Apr 2015 - 10 years ago

Thanks allot, Wayne. Glad you like it. The vocals were some samples I found on the net somewhere awhile back. Glad you like the orchestration. I have a great passion for orchestral music, having played in a few in my younger days. I love it when bands opt to have an orchestra back them.

Cheers,
Scott

on Riding a donkey by Scyphozoa

There's a lot to like about this track. I do like the guitars in this track. Are you using a sustain pedal? I dig the long sustained distorted notes. The guitar fills after the 2:00 were cool, maybe could be a bit louder.

The bass is simple but does the trick. It's catchy, a bit of a reggae feel to it. I usually don't like long intros but the build up was worth it. Minimal by design but has all the elements needed to be a great song.

Well done! Thanks for sharing, going to dl this one.

Wayne

Scyphozoa replied 3rd Apr 2015 - 11 years ago

This song has great advantages such as emotions, simplicity and good sounds

The guitar hung by the effect pedal "memory toy of ehx" this sounds like a sustain pedal I would put them louder yes no problem
I would develop much more

thank you for the advice and feedback

musical greetings

on RIO EXPRESS by zappo

Made me want to put my speedo on and sit on Ipinema Beach. Cool track,nice composition, great musicianship, what a combination. Guitars blast right through. I liked the the synth on the right with the echo/delay on it. Nice dynamics as well.

Well done fellas!

on The Pleasure Within by ScottB55

The mood you set right away is perfect with the strings. The build up is great and the song really develops nicely as it goes. What is that effect on her vocals in the middle, sounds like it is used on a guitar track also. Is it a fast tremolo or something along those lines?

Mix is great and the ending is very cool as well. Simple guitar parts like the picking at around 4:05 I just love. Reminds me of the guitar lick in "Get Off of My Cloud" by the Stones that continually plays through the song.

Rock, pop...whatever, it's good, plain and simple!

Wayne

ScottB55 replied 1st Apr 2015 - 11 years ago

Hey Wayne,

Thanks allot for your comment and kind words. Glad you like my track.

I believe that effect your hearing is a fast delay.

Cheers,

on Cappuccino Time by Musicante

This is virtually awesome, it's amazing what you can do online! I'd pay to go see you guys. The arrangement is great, the playing ability is professional, all the individual tracks were recorded well and the mix is fantastic. Plus, I can hear that cowbell ringing proudly!

Thanks for sharing folks, I will be dl'ing a copy for future enjoyment!

Wayne

Musicante replied 24th Mar 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks so much, Wayne. Your comments are humbling and much appreciated and thanks for downloading it.

I will admit, I am still amazed at what we all can do online and being thousands of mile from each other. 20 years ago this was science fiction.

Yeah, I do love Scott's cowbell performances! Frank Zappa said the cowbell is the symbol of unbridled passion.

Ciao,
M.

Nice job, straight forward rock with some pretty intense and trippy parts. Unpredictable for sure but it keeps the listener's attention. Guitars sound meaty and the drums rock! That was fun to listen to, you rock!

Wicked Pissah!! lol

Having lived in Florida now for a few years it was pretty cool to hear this, made me smile listening to all the Bean Town references. Every time I open my mouth here people say, "are you from Boston?" I say no, "TitleTown"!!

Good one Chris MAc!

on Rock n Roll Empire by ScottB55

If you are going to know a heavier rock band, Sabbath was a good choice. I had never seen Orange amps till I saw them in a film clip using them.

The beginning was a bit deceiving, wasn't expecting all that happens after that! What do you have for effects on the rhythm guitar around 1:28. It is interesting for sure. The choir pad was different. :) Drums are clean and punchy and the guitars sound great. Tons of energy just like Sabbath had.

Very cool Scott and James!

Wayne

ScottB55 replied 25th Mar 2015 - 11 years ago

Hey, thanks allot Wayne. Yeah, I got into Sabbath due to the drum solo on one of their tracks. I never got much further into metal than this.

To be honest, I can't answer your question on the effects on the guitar. I'm not a guitarist, so don't know.

on Garden by EtherBlu

What a pleasant song! Short sweet and to the point. It really conveys your intention. Nice choice of instruments as well.

It's actually at a good volume I think, allows me to turn up my volume knob a bit. A rare thing these days with the misuse of limiters and compressors.

Enjoyed!

Wayne

EtherBlu replied 18th Mar 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks a tons for your kind words Wayne! Glad to know you enjoyed:)

And it really feels great when your emotions are successfully conveyed to your listeners. And about the volume, somewhere i feel the beginning is really not audible, hence, it needs some boost there. Will level it nicely once i take up this track.

Can't find much wrong with this wonderful track Alex! I just came inside from working on my suntan, I'm pretty relaxed at this point and this song hit the spot perfectly. Great percussion, sweet vibes and a peaceful, easy feeling. Nice job putting this together!
