on Secret by DESTERO
The mix sounds great, clear. The vocals work great with the music. I like acoustic guitar mixed with any style of music. It is upbeat, a bit mainstream but a little bit more Indie Folk/Pop to me. Nice job!

on Stay with me till dawn featuring Pauline Wright by RichieWinn
Well done Richie and Pauline! I am not familiar with the original so I have no expectations going into this. Wow! This is such a great pop track. There is a nice vibe here, you have created a peaceful easy feeling. Beautiful lyrics, the strings give it a classic pop feel. Excellent!!

And I do dig that last note!!

Hi Wayne

Always good to hear your comments - so positive. Thank you. The original is worth a listen if only to hear the quality of the production (you can actually hear some tape hiss!) and it makes you realise how powerful DAWs have become in recent years. The vibe is quite close to the original too but Pauline's vocal is all her own. She is a great talent and wonderful to work with. Thanks again for stopping by and taking the time to post comments.

Best

Richie

I live at the beach and this is exactly what I like to hear during the hot summer, cool vibes. Mix sounds great, love the horns and the bongos and other percussion. Cool track!

The change at 1:55 was a bit unexpected but I really liked the direction you took it. The intro was very cool as well. This song really kicks ass! Well done.

Nice description, knew(almost) what to expect. :)

Great production, as usual, and a nice composition. I love this kind of music, really brings you back to a simpler time. Excellent job!

Thanks allot, Wayne. Glad you like it. Yeah, I'm kinda stuck in the past. The music back than was so pure and real.

I have another oldie in the works that's a real toughie. It's 'Fantasy' by Earth, Wind & Fire. I have over 20 tracks, so far and plan to add more.

Cheers,

on Only Lovers Left Alive by Axel St Patience by musiclover38
Well done guys, nice job! It has a '50's ballad feel with the tremolo guitar and chord progression but there is a modern aspect to it that makes it feel fresh. Really enjoyed the track!

Gonna dl and fav this so thanks for sharing!

on Today We Need Peace by Ensam
I was reading your response to staticnomad about how you produced the vocal parts, that must have been a fun challenge, like creating your own language in a way. I like them, they are a nice touch.

Not my typical music listen so I can't really get into the ins and outs of trance but I did like the track. Nice choice of instruments, things all seem to work well together and it's a great mix.

Well done Simon!

Ensam replied 8th Aug 2014 - 11 years ago
Thanks Wayne, yeh, the vocals were kinda the focus of the experiment and I am really satisfied with how they worked although frustrated by their stiffness, brought on by the amount of work involved in creating a small phrase.

We gotta push ourselves in different areas in order to get better..... ;)

on Feeling love by FreeRadical
The mix sounds real good, you still using headphones to mix? Oh, I feel the love, lol. 10:26 long, I could never do that, you seem to have a knack for it.

Nice transition between tracks and I like that "eh" vocal sample. I also like the drum pattern in the last part, that is a good way to make things interesting in a long track.

Well done, as usual!

Thanks man, I'm currently using a knackered out old pair of PC speakers instead of headphones, they have a pretty awful dynamic range if i'm honest but you can just about hear everything. I wasn't sure about this track to be honest but i posted it because it's the only one i've managed to finish this week lol.
Glad you could give it a listen as always.

on Cairo by XmafaX
Dig the whole feel of this track, cool world vibe to open things up then a big change of pace. Such a cool way to incorporate rock with middle eastern sounding instruments. The short breaks are my favorite parts, lol. Drumming is intense, the guitar rocks and everything else just fits perfectly. Great track!

Instant fav and I will dl this so thanks in advance.

Really great performance on the singing, the vocal layering is sweet and I dig the lyrics! I love singer songwriter stuff, a guitar and singer is so honest and exposing to a degree. Great job, glad I could contribute in a small way to this wonderful track.

on Hard Dance MIx by FreeRadical
This one is getting the blood flowing this morning, starts off great and the fade in of the synth is nice. The vocal samples work. Like the change at about 3:20 when you bring in that kick and that introduces you to the next section, good transition which seems to change the intensity a bit.

I know how much the saw synth gets used in electronic genres but it's one sound I have a hard time absorbing. Maybe just because I was raised on more organic sounds. It is effective as the song progresses though.

Pretty cool mix, well done!

Sorry for the late reply. I went to our local fairground and i went on that thing that goes round and round and round which makes you dizzy and then throw up. You guessed it! I went on the beer! Anyway, i always like it when you stop by because our styles are so different and if you can spot something positive in my electronic noise then that makes my day. I love saw sounds as you've probably guessed but secretly i wish i could play stuff like you.

on How To Stuff A Wild Bikini by ScottB55
Excellent job Scott! You've captured the feel of that era for sure. Great choice of instruments, fitting for this type of music. I have always loved music from this era and style because they feature great catchy guitar riffs and fills and usually a great guitar tone. Even though some artists from that era used to play slower surf songs, like Link Wray for instance, but I always preferred the upbeat, fun danceable surf style.

Everything is great here, I like how there is a lot going on but there is space in the song to give each instrument it's time to shine. Well done, as usual!!

Hey Wayne,

I agree 100%, my friend! I have a hard time finding something I like in todays music. I remember putting the 45s on and playing my cheap little Sears drum kit to them. The Ventures did a cover of Hawaii Five-O, and my Jr. High band played it and I asked the band director if I could play my full drum kit to it for our concert.

Anyway, thanks for chiming in and leaving your kind words.

Cheers,
Scott

on The Love Alchemist - CD Quality by PaNeGyRiZe
Great track, loved the lyrics/vocals, right out front and easy to understand. The piano is very well done and adds that element in the background that catches your ear but your main focus is on the vox. It makes you want to give it another listen or two just to let it all soak in. Well done, enjoyable listen!

Thanks Bro!! You are one of the musicians on here that inspire me with unique instrumentals and tracks as well, and i know it sounds like it, but i used no vox, simply many vocals of myself layered, and singing them all slightly in a different tone :D Looking forward to hearing back from all of you guys in the future, and in the competition. Props, and peace out,

I don't know anything about trap music so I can't say much about that but I can say the recording sounds pretty good and there is a lot of interesting things going on to keep me interested. Loved the deep sub bass finish. Cool track, well done!

on Technical Time Ft FarM by Spivkurl
Sorry for taking so long to get to this one. Damn man, this is so freekin cool! I've never heard of Skinny Puppy but after hearing this I might go check them out. The vocals/lyrics are so well done, interesting and fun. You just keep getting better and better with your vocals and your creativity level is soaring!! Great job working to get it all right, nice work to both of you on this one.

Always never knowing what to expect and that's why I enjoy your tracks so much!

Cheers!

Hey Wayne, hope you are doing well! Thank you for taking a listen and leaving your feelings here! Really happy that you enjoyed listening. I guess I'm surprised, and also not surprised at the same time that you hadn't heard of skinny puppy. Surprised because they've been around a long time now, and not surprised because they were never very mainstream. I identify with their singer/songwriter ohgr very much. I think you might get into cevin key's solo stuff though, who is their main synthesist. "The Ghost Of Each Room" is a really spectacular album. I'm glad you found the words fun, I honestly didn't expect that kind of reaction considering the verses, so thank you for that. I've sang several songs since recording this, and I think the main thing that makes this better is that I spent more time perfecting it before calling it finished. FarM and I thank you for your kindness. I don't know what to expect next either, so stay tuned! Take care!

on Down that Road by Ensam
Wow Simon, this is fantastic! Great job building the track and use of the vocal samples, they sound perfect for each other. Sweet ending, nice guitar work. The mix is exceptional, I must compliment you for that. I miss you and some of the other "older" members being around and hearing your music. What else can I say that others haven't already, great track!

on The Sting by DESTERO
Nice laid back rock track, cool feeling to it and I like the pace of it. Lead guitars sound great, cool effects and tone. Vocals are excellent. There is a melancholic, somber tone to the track which I like a lot. Creative ending as well.

Well done!
