on Que Tengamos Suerte -Collab Kikajon- by Vicen
The guitars are great sounding in this, Kikajon's new amp rocks. Nice mix too, you guys make a good combo. The new project is really impressive, nice job putting it together Vicen!

Vicen replied Unknown
As always, you, the Looperman fellows do, that my songs are better. And Kikajon has been magnificent. I am very happy with this song. He has caught the essence with a simplicity that astounds me. It is a great musician.
Only one thing would have improved: you, Wayne, have done the mix.

Liked the reverse track, I tried that before, unsuccessfully, ha, but it sounds good here. Nice job with the vocals.

cheers,

Thanks man :) I was looping the beat and it was getting boring, so I just decided to try reversing it.

on Cinematic Ambience Part 1 by toddj
Cool how you created the pad with the acoustic guitar, I have access to so many pad sounds that I haven't had to challenge myself in that manner, maybe just lazy, ha. It has a dream like quality to it, a trance like effect as I listen, like drifting through space all alone in a daze. Quality of the track is quite good, much respect on putting this together!

on Escape by bmw2000uk
I like how the beat drive the song and that many of the instrumebts are relaxed and very down tempo, gives the track a cool vibe. Great mix as well. Pretty cool track BMW!

on Everybody by bmw2000uk
Very cool, liked the classical Spanish guitar and the vocals during that, but right from the beginning the beat got me hooked. Pretty complete track, nice changes and interesting arrangement, well done! Has a real Spanish feel to it which I like, very nicely put together!

Thanks for this review, yes i think JW has got me hooked on this style of music making now, so more to come. Glad you like it, the original had no Spanish flavour, until i saw the Brazil floods, then i had to go back to rewrite the track, glad i did. Glad you liked this too. : )

Peace...

on one day by rei4real
You nailed it on the mix, sounds amazing through my speakers. You really are getting a great sound, the guitars sound so full and the tone is so sweet and smooth. The bass sounds great, still having a tough time myself recording my bass but you got a nice punchy but beefy sound. You mic an amp or go straight in when you record the bass?

I'll be dl and faving this so thanks Rei! cheers!

Wayne
rei4real
rei4real replied Unknown
thx a lot Wayne!!
the bass though is no real bass, it's a pretty simple bass synth through a series of compressors and limiters and a virtual tube amp ... but I think the most important thing is that I only use mono tracks for the bass, that makes it sound pretty powerful, most big pa's run the bass in mono!!
thx for taking the time to listen ... ;-)
peace, rei

on The Rising Sun by 67Ecosse
Some very cool sounds in this, liked the percussion too. It feels to me as a hip hop beat but still has a bit of an ethnic groove going on too. Nice blend of instruments and a nice mix as well! Well done!

on Somni Espacial -Espacial Dream- by Vicen
This was cool Vicen, liked the psychodellic synth sound you used in this that seem to bubble it's way into my ears! Great guitars too, the lead is very cool. Certainly a fav! Thanks for sharing this gem!

Thanks kindly my friend. Chuck did such a great job on the vocals in this track and he played the harmonica which rounded the sound out. Take Care Wayne and Thanks.

on Lost and Found by DVickers by goosemeyer
Not sure if you know this but this is a song by Mathew Sweet released in the 90's from a great album called Girlfriend and the song is called Girlfriend as well.

Nice cover, loved the original but DVickers shouldn't get the credits for the lyrics and song. Just want to make you aware of that and I mean no disrespect to your work.

sorry guys.. I was trying to edit my track order and uploaded a backing track from my "gutair jams" folder by accident.. It's been fixed.

I did it once before as well..
sorry wayne, thanks for catching that and saving me further embarrasment.

on The Ghost of King Robb (Version 2) by rpcvlawson
Nice improvements, I like the echo on the guitar. I agree with John about adding some effects to the vocals like a little reverb, just to set it in the mix better. A itte reverb on the drums might sound good too. I'll admit that mixing is tough but you are getting there, sounds better, wel done!

Wayne
rpcvlawson
rpcvlawson replied Unknown
Thanks! I'll try more effects on the vocals / drums. I'm definitely still getting a feel for how to mix correctly. Lots of trial and error. I'm not very comfortable with my voice, so I've got some work to do there.

on Dancing with the Carnival Rebellion feat Nuada by n0mad23
Man, you keep out doing yourself, and I didn't think it was possible, ha! This is great, the bagpipes and the drums along with the incredible percussion and Nuada's vocals really make a statement. The intro was great and things only got better from there.

Had to listen to this a few times to let it all soak in. Trying to seperate sounds, lots going on but it's a great piece. Where did you get the bagpipe sounds? Ableton? This is big sounding, really fills a room, way to go guys!

Wayne

n0mad23 replied Unknown
Sometimes I think I probably workshop my stuff too much here, but then I get guys like Nuada and Salook giving me email feedback and I know better! Bagpipe samples were a gift, and I've got two identical tracks - one straight and the other running through modulators and a gate. The stuff that sounds like strings is samples of just a canter run through a gate, and then manipulated heavily with effects and volume knobs on my APC40. Man, I love that MIDI controller! Glad you like this one!

on Major Thom by Phyruis
Loved the intro, awesome job on that! The vocal samples worked great. I thought you did a great job with the overall dynamics of the song, bringing up the pace and slowing it down. Mix sounded cool and the bass was too cool, growling, nice one NJ!

The piano was pretty cool and a bit suspenseful. I thought all the glitchy dubby sounds were very cool indeed. The mix sounds pretty tight, great job to the both of you!

on Swallow Me Whole by Music4Life
Cool track M4L! I liked the beat and the effects. It didn't seem that dark, more of a James Bond theme feel going on. Would be cool for some music in a spy thriller movie.

on The Ghost of King Robb by rpcvlawson
So how do you like the new guitar? PRS, nice! Not a bad listen man, great job singing, nice story.

You might want to try to double the rhythm guitar track and pan them left and right, it will fill the space better and your vocals will sit in the mix better and the bass will stand out more too. Also try adding some stereo widening to the tracks, they will sound fatter and thicker if you open them up a bit.

Cheers,

Wayne

Excellent advice. I'm going to try everything you've just mentioned. I'm new to this game, so any tips are greatly appreciated.

As for the guitar--honestly, I'm in love with it. I've always had cheap $150 guitars. Now that I have this one--which wasn't astronomical but is definitely of better quality--I can see a huge difference in tone and the way I can access the fret board.

on through the valley by throughthevalley
This is a version of a psalm, wow this is quite an interpretation. Very original.

I was emailing a friend yesterday and we were discussing christian contemporary music. She mentioned that they even have screamo christian music, I was surprised to say the least. Then I was picturing in my head Jesus swinging his hair in a big circle in a mosh pit while his apostles jumped around trying to slam into him, haha. ok I'm twisted, but it was a funny thought.

Guess it's the message, not the means of delivery. I think King David would be in the pit up after hearing this one. Cool track ttv!
