on rEvolution - The Ancestral Taunts by n0mad23

You really push boundries with your music Sean, and Salook, well he's another one, haha!! You guys together make a new age tag team that can't be beat. I see you call it world beat dub, I can't really make any distinction as to what it is or isn't, other than it's a very cool track to listen to!

Look forward to hearing what happens next with this track. Pretty cool so far!

Wayne

n0mad23 replied Unknown

Yeah, collabing with Salook is a real treat for me. That guy's more talented than he realizes, and his contributions to this one have really made it what it is. We're in the process of doing a radical revision to this one now, and hopefully we'll pull it off. Prepare for definite advancing of dubbiness behind this one. Glad you enjoyed the listen, Wayne! Thanks for giving it a review!

on Vigilante Man (cover) by jimm57

Very cool sound to this track, nicely constructed. I liked the slide in it too. Good job on the vocals. Well done!

on Made in the USA by Randall822

The pedal steel sounds great and I'm glad to hear someone else play some mandolin here. This has a cool southern rock feel to it. The mix is great, as usual. Really enjoyed listening to this track, such high quality.

So are you working less now? I remember you saying before you were working countless hours each week. Hope you have more time to put into tracks like this!! Thanks Randy for putting this up and sharing your work, always a pleasure!

Wayne

Randall822 replied Unknown

Hi there Wayne,

Thanks so much for the review and am glad you enjoyed the country song. The mandolin part wasn't speedy or anything, but filled in nicely.

As far as work...I am retired now finally. So I have more time to do whatever I want to. No more waking up at 4am.
So more time for music now and other things in life I have been missing out on.

Thanks again for your comments. I'll have another tune up in a month or less. (Rock or Blues)
Randy

on Midnight by TraXnCtrl

Kate Lesing is used often here in mixes but I always hear something new, never any repeat tracks. It's a cool track and I agree with Spiv about the bass, it rocks and really makes it move along, adding a bit of an edge to the track. Nice one Trax!

TraXnCtrl replied Unknown

thanks Wayne....I have made some adjustments

on HERE WE GO by Planetjazzbass

Ya Dave, this has a certain groove where the drums allow the bass(you)to work it's magic and create a great bed to lay quite an interesting guitar track on top of. I'm not hearing a hip hop vibe as much as a funk fusion feel but it sure makes you want to hear it a few times. Production sounds great, vocals stand out nicely, very cool track indeed. Always look forward to a new one from you!

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Hey Wayne..cool mate...yeah it's mainly funk but the vocals were Hip Hop originally...lucky when I strolled into that neighborhood I had my bass with me! lol...cheers mate Dave

on Hide and Seek (Demo) by ArameliaRoseGoth

I liked this. Thinking....maybe lowering the guitar a bit, things are overdriven in places. Then I think the vocals will fall into place better. Needs some rework but the idea is there, keep at it! I think you have a nice voice.

on In the spirit of Reich take 3 by thyroid

Great sounds, emotional, stirring even. Well done, love the openess of the second part in contast to the opening section. Cool piece of music!

Wayne

thyroid replied Unknown

on Na -MStokes Collab- by Vicen

A positive vibe from this one. I liked the flute sounding instrument you used. Micheal sure has an interesting feeling for music that makes him stand out. On play 3 now, this is really catchy, one of my favs of yours.

Great job guys!! gonna dl and fav, thanks Vicen!

Wayne

Vicen replied Unknown

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Michael has added strength to the song. All the songs are better with help.
Thank you Wayne.

on Its All Over Now Baby Blue (cover) by jimm57

Classic song! Great job singing it. The delay helps fill the vocals, it doesn't take away from the song at all. It's really what you want to hear as the producer. Sounds good!

Wayne

jimm57 replied Unknown

Thank you Wayne, I'm still wondering about the delay though, just doesn't seem right in a Dylan song but I wanted it to be a little different.

on Desilusion by HardcorePampers

I really liked this, very well written song. Nice job singing, reminds me a bit of Billy Bragg. Very cool!

Wayne

theHumps 11th Apr 2011 13:59 - 14 years ago

on Pressure up by HardcorePampers

The verse is great, cool lyrics. I think the vocals get a little lost in the chorus, maybe turn them up just a bit. Liked the intro, that was different. Nice guitar tone. I'll have to check out more of your tracks!

Wayne

HardcorePampers replied Unknown

Thanks, you know i'm not so good to mix, i got no usb/midi microphone, so i use the external one of my laptop it doesn't sound that great ;)

on Square Peg in a Round Hole by bcway

So glad I was checking out the track list and saw you posted a new one! Fusion works for the genre I guess. The bass is a nicely constructed track and has a jazzy feel to it. Nice idea, enjoyed it a lot. Just the right amount of each instrument to make it a great listen.

Good to see you around!

Wayne

bcway replied Unknown

Thanks for looking in Wayne. I'll be devoting a bit more time to music than I have been lately. It's a great escape.

on the end of the summer by joroch

A bit dark yet a bit refreshing at the same time. I could hear this in a movie as a character either begins a journey or sheds his "skin" to begin life anew. Nice one!

Wayne

on Love Me For Me by Music4Life

Very nice piano melody, uplifting. Nicely mixed and constructed. Nice break about a third into the song, no complaints here, loved it!

Wayne

Music4Life replied Unknown

Sweet man, thanks for the compliment.

on FOREVER ETCHED by throughthevalley

I can't figure out how people can do that screamo voice without throwing out their voice box, ha. Hat's off to ya for that. Don't hear a lot of this musical style here. Liked the guitar pickin out notes, added a lot. Cool track!

Wayne

throughthevalley replied Unknown

hey wayne thanx for the spin and review.im glad you dug the track just i wish i new how to mix and master better...check your email i snt you that track.

Fantastic! Production is flawless and the track is very well composed, couldn't ask for anything more! dl and fav, Thanks!

Thanks for listening again Wayne! It's always nice to read one of your reviews.

on Hug The Bear To Sleep by DextDee

Solid track Dex, Barry is quite the musician, dude can put some music out! Could be some sad music in a movie scene showing solitude or dispair, very emotional. Nice one guys!

Wayne

DextDee replied Unknown

sam music huh? hmm i would be keeping that in mind. thnx for the comment and i agree perfectly, Barry is one heck of a pianist

on Spivkurl DMZ by Spivkurl

I still haven't got my head around dubstep yet but I'm glad you gave it a go. That growling steady bass was a bit creepy, ha! The piano was just enought to soften it in places, nice job with this one Spiv!

Wayne

Spivkurl replied Unknown

Yeah dubstep is a tough genre to get used to! I was going for a creepy droning vibe, I'm glad you found it creepy! I thought the piano was a nice contrast too. Thanks so much for listening and reviewing!

theHumps 27th Mar 2011 20:52 - 14 years ago

on Strong Like Squirrel by Spivkurl

More fun the longer it went, especially liked the pan flute, it fit perfectly and lifted the song up, too cool! I was waiting for it to end there with the synths but the cymbal was not expected but much appreciated! Excellent track you put together!

Wayne

Spivkurl replied Unknown

Thanks so much for listening and commenting! I totally appreciate your opinion! Glad you liked the pan flute solo, it was fun to play! Thanks for your review my friend!

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.

on Words Never Said by EmergeAndSee

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

cheers,

Wayne

EmergeAndSee replied Unknown

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!

Wayne

toddj replied Unknown

Thanks a million for taking a listen to this track and writing such a good review.

theHumps 23rd Mar 2011 17:01 - 14 years ago

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!

Wayne

bmw2000uk replied Unknown

Hey thanks for the review, yes it is something different to my normal style, but i go with an idea when get it in my head and down on paper. The rest just comes along like a movie as they say..: )

Peace...

theHumps 23rd Mar 2011 16:02 - 14 years ago

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!

Wayne

bmw2000uk replied Unknown

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 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
