heya Wayne, thanks for your comment, techno rock sounds cool, but i guess i should get rid of ambient elements in there to make it more comprehendable as a whole. pleasure though, what a pleasure to work with sound.

on The Examined Life by n0mad23

Thanks for sharing this gem, so darn cool. Your music always grounds me in some way. A virtual feast for my ears. Man, I'm on play three right now, soaking it in like a sponge. Nice bass and rhythm, powerful to say the least.

You never seem to amaze me when I listen to your music and I can certainly appreciate all that went into making this. Ableton is quite the toy, so much fun and creativity happens when using it.

Great track Sean, always a pleaure!

n0mad23 replied Unknown

Ableton for me is really about doing it live. This one is no exception, and I always try to keep things under 10 or 12 track so that I can mix it all with my MIDI controller on the fly. What you hear is what I play - though recording samples of the instruments on hand requires a lot of assembling the elements first. I'd really love to be able to hit a club and perform this stuff live as it's recorded. Thanks for the listen and encouragement Wayne!

on When You Leave - SpellJammer ft Slap Johnson by AllenV

I didn't think it could be improved but Slap added his magic touch and wow! What a great collab, you guys are fantastic!

Wayne

AllenV replied Unknown

Thank you Wayne,Slap does make all the difference.
I guess it's in part that the style SpellJammer and I are doing lends it's self to the Sax so well,and that Slap is just sooo very awesome!

on Tuning Out the World 2-1-11 by AngelaSheik

You have such a beautiful voice and the song itself is quite good. I would try remixing it, like eshar said some levels need to be adjusted. The vocals sound nice and out front, I think the music could be pumped up a bit.

You have a nicely spread out track as far as the panning is concerned, big in the stereo field, it gives room for the vocals so don't be afraid to turn the instrument levels up. I saw your post in the forums and figured I would give you my honest opinion. Good luck!

Dang, there are some nice chords in this, really beautiful track. You got the big guns adding some tracks? Can't wait to hear the next version! You played the piano tracks too? I'm just starting to play again after 30 years, very rusty but this sounds like you are pretty decent on them. This is a great track Jamie, thanks for sharing.

Pretty interesting track, has a lot of feels to it. Naming this is a tough task, it has a Japanese and Australian and some techno and some orchestration and some..... Nicely put together and prob tough too. Liked it, on play 2 now, hmmm, a name..... how bout, "Down Under the Cherry Blossoms", ha! Well I tried, enjoyed it a lot!

on Around Me by Alen9R

I thought the piano was sweet as well as the very cool drum track. I normally wouldn't think of this as hip hop but what's in a genre. I had to give this a couple listens to soak it all in. Like candy for my ears, nice work, nice production!

Wayne

Alen9R replied Unknown

Hello Wayne!

Yeah,These days it is hard to say what is hip hop,and what is not hip hop,that's why I call this HipPop :)!

I'm glad you like it this track, and thank you for the review,much appreciated!

The acoustic sounds nice and clear, great job recording it. Amazing that just a couple tracks can be so musically fullfilling. Pretty track, loved the harmonics!

Wayne

thank you for taking the time to review me my friend. i was going to go back over it and re-record the melody due to fret buzz in places etc, and slight timing issues, but i kinda like the live feel to it ive decided ! thanks again for stopping by

on Crazy Over You by Bilbozo

Loved the lyrics, haha, too good. This has more of a traditional country feel to it which I like more than the pop country that is out now. Kudos to all that worked on this, the production sounds great! Loved the slide guitar, been pricing them and would love to git one but times are tough right now. You can certainly put a song together Bill, nice job!

on str8n I route by arkeyetexture

Cool track arkey, just love it! Not sure what jungle is, the drums perhaps, I dunno. It's a def must listen if you are a reggae fan like myself, enjoyed it thoroughly. Igo's vox were a plus!

Well done!

Wayne

arkeyetexture replied Unknown

jungle is basically a off shoot of drum n bass.
a little faster and i belive alot of jungle is influenced somewhat by reggae.
thanks for the listen and fav! awesome!

on July by removed

Not too bad man. I liked the idea, would love to hear a full compliment of instruments on this and extend it a bit. Hardly noticed the click track. Just a suggestion, try panning the guitars a little left and right and it will open it up and make it sound fuller. Welcome to the loop!

Wayne

removed replied Unknown

Thanks for the review (: Interestingly, I do actually use panning on this track, though minimal amounts. I guess not enough has been used, it'll change anyway when I record it again (:

on Life Is Grand Piano by DJTodrus

Nice melody, not too sure about the guitar synth sound you used. The two seem to clash a bit, the melody and beat are soothing and the guitar is a bit rough sounding. Kinda wanted to hear a more soothing synth instead. Just my humble opinion. I did like the overall feel to the track though.

Wayne

DJTodrus replied Unknown

Thanks alot i appreciate the listen... the contrasts in styles was part of what i was going for. if youre interested in my point of reference listen to some of Noah '40' Shahib.

on Toon Town by DJSchmeeJ

I liked the live cello and the idea was pretty cool. The beat was perfect for the cello. Neat little track though.

The track only played for 50 seconds and then there was a lot of dead silence. Not sure if the track is that short or if you knew about a couple minutes of silence on the track. I refreshed the page and started the song again but it happened again. Figured I would mention it.

Thanks for sharing.

on Digital Aboriginalism - Osmosis and the Veil by n0mad23

Bull roarers? Where did you get those samples? Always liked the Midnight Oil song Bull Roarer. Dang man, it may have been a while that you have created anything but you guys put a pretty interesting track together. The vocal tracks were so effective here and combined with the music I feel like I am in the outback somewhere.

Maybe a litte more bass would be my only suggestion. Some of the percussion has some bass in it but I want to hear more, I guess being a bass player makes that something I want to hear louder. Maybe a cool sub bass track, in the background filling up the low freqs. Other than that Sean this is a great track

Will wait to dl the final product but I'm gonna fav this now knowing it is only gonna get better the more you fiddle with it.

Great job so far, can't wait to hear the final product!

n0mad23 replied Unknown

Good call on the bass, Wayne. I actually have been thinking the same, so it's great to have it validated. I'll make it available for download when it's done, too. Thanks!
