on Shes Like a River by PapaChubbs

Sweet track, just beautiful! I love this type of music, I listen to a local folk radio station all day at work(if it comes in)and this would sound great on that station next to the likes of Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot. You guys are a great combo, I'll have to check out some more of your tracks!

on Steal Away by Emann

I like the song idea, some really cool things going on here. I like the lead! Personally, I like to hear the vocals a little more centered in the mix, like how you centered the lead around 1 min. Just my opinion.

Overall I thought it was a cool track. Keep working on the mix, I think you could tweek it a bit more.

Wayne

Reply: Well I was thinking balanced centering. Not sure, but did you double the vocal track and seperate it or is it a stereo widening effect, a delay? I'll usually just widen the stereo field a bit and add a bit of reverb to my vocals , that's it.

Emann replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hi the Humps, thanks for the tips. I've listening what everyone has said and have edited the song each time. I understand when you say you'd like the voice more 'centered' you are talking about 'balance centering' (or pcenter of the song? laced in a different place) in . Thanks for taking the time to listen and to comment. emann

Replay: thanks for clarifying that for me. You're right, i sterio micked that voice (double tracked) and somewhere had read to balance the to 100% L &R. I'll edit the song again and give what you said a try. Thanks again, emann (this kind of comment is very useful)

on Time For Change - SpellJammer Collab by AllenV

Like a breath of fresh air, amazing! Pretty song, nice melodies throughout. Liked the delay on the guitar, subtle but effective. I just love playin' with delays, multitap delays are fun.

Sweet track, great collab with SpellJammer. Everything feels right about this track. dl an fav! thanks!

Take care Allen,

Wayne

AllenV replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you so very much Wayne!At the end of the day I hope to make music that feels right and is enjoyable to listen to.Collabs have allowed me to play music I love with great people like SpellJammer.

on The Dunes (Dream Ending) by ParkerMusic

I think fusion might be the right choice for what is offered. I would agree with you that world music or new age would better describe it.

It def has some nice ethnic sounds and percussion and the guitar added a nice touch to the first part of the song with more of a straight up beat. I like the title too. Overall, I liked it, sweet track, would have dl'd it if offered so I'll just fav it. Nice job putting this together ParkerMusic!

Wayne

ParkerMusic replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you Wayne for the review. Send me your email and I will be happy to forward a copy to you.

on Aaj Mile Ho Kal Phir Milna by Nayeemp

Cool track Nayeemp. Some sweet sounds in this and great production. Loved everything about this!

Blues? ok I'm not sure what they are singing about, maybe they are singing the blues. ;)

dl and fav! thanks

on LOST by MADVICKO

When the drums kicked in and the song picked up it took me by surprise, wasn't expecting that. A good surprise! I liked the bass sound you used and the lead was rockin'. Cool track MADVICKO!

Wayne

MADVICKO replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you!When I worked on the first part of the song I started to feel emotion of the chorus,how is it to be a completely lost in reality so I figured it be good to speed up the thing and to add some strong feel to song...Thank you again,looperman is a great place and it motivates me to make some more music...
(sorry for my bad english...i dont have much chance to practice in my country...)

on Swing n Bass by EzIcarus

"You ain't got a thing if you ain't got that swing"

Nice track! Louis Prima is one of my favorite artists of all time so I love all kinds of swing beats. It really does have an old time feel to it, nice recording!

Wayne

EzIcarus replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Im not surprised, He's truly amazing. Thank you.

on La Casa de Te de la Luna de Agosto by Vicen

I liked Michael Stokes desciption as hyper pop! Very catchy beat and the horns were great. One of your best I've heard so far!

Wayne

Vicen replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Yes, this is the song that most people like. It's catchy and with a light and fast pace. I'm glad you too liked it.

on EVERY DAY ADVENTURES by Silvestre

Powerful track, loved the harp and vocal pads. The cello and strings were nicely placed in this. I might suggest a little eq on the overall mix, it sounds a little hot on the mids and highs, maybe redo the mastering if you mastered it. Overall very cool track!!

Wayne

Silvestre replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

ok wayne i will try your suggestions and thank you take your time reviewing this

on TAKOOL - The Greatest (Gospel instrumental) by TAKOOL

Nice piano track(s) on this, nice melody. I was jammin away on my mandolin to this!!

Cool track, like it!

on All of the stars (they shine) by DjBA5

Did you use a reverse clap sound at the beginning? That was a cool effect or sound you used on that. Nice to hear vocals on this that you did yourself, they are fitting for the track.

I'm on Spiv's thinking, the vocals could be a bit louder and maybe mixed in a little better with some interesting effects. Sounds as if you are still working it out so I'm looking forward to hearing it after you work it out a bit.

Nice track, nice mix, upbeat but still has a chilled out, relaxed feel to it. cool.

Wayne

DjBA5 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

i did i used a reverse clap at the start and tweeked it loads to get a different sound ! nice spot !! thank you for the kind words on my vocals but it was just a rough idea , i want a female to sing this instead, i am still working on the track, i always post my on the fly ideas which is why i never mixed or mastered it even but i like other guys to do that instead to get a sure quality, thank you for the kind words an stoping by my friend :)

on This will end by Fayjay

Dark, mysterious, very cool beat and I like the bass! Well done, nice mix. I hope you get someone to do a vocal track for this.

Wayne

Fayjay replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks. I am waiting for someone to use this so i shall understand my work.

on Losing My Religion - REM Rendition by SolitaryPassion

I like your rendition of this REM song, they're one of my favs! Great job with the singing and welcome to the loop!

on Bass and Instrumental by NeonStrawberry

Way to go man, much better. Sure is an interesting mix of genres you blended up here. A little dub, chillout, alt rock, even cinematic, I could hear this in a sci-fi or drama film. Parts of it reminded me of DePeche Mode a bit! Well done!

Wayne

theHumps 2nd Oct 2010 09:21 - 15 years ago

on Leave Me Alone by Alen9R

Strong rhythm to the track with the snare blazin' the way. I liked the low piano notes offsetting the high strings. Cool track, I like the feel and atmosphere you have in this track!

Wayne

Alen9R replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks Wayne for your time, to listen and review this track,I'm glad you like it!

on Bass and Instrumental by NeonStrawberry

The overall output seems a bit too loud, I would lower the master volume a bit. The track sounded cool though, there are some nice elements that would stand out with some more attention to the dynamics of the instruments and evening of the mix a bit.

Wayne

NeonStrawberry replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

thnx for the tips :)

on BlackRose by Psiren

Cool sounding track and song idea. I would like to hear the drums a bit louder in the mix but overall pretty good. Sounds like a local alt band from the 90's where I live, I liked their sound.

Wayne

Psiren replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

I actually feel kind of honoured to get a review like that. Being compared to ANY rock band from the 90's makes me happy, as that's probably my favourite time period for music. Thank you very much. :D

on Little Baby Gage by Broadydudester

Cool track man, sweet but with a bit of an edge. Sounded like Weezer a bit.

Lullabye Punk, not listed here as a genre at the loop! lol

hey thanks alot man.

on Ambiguity by guitarjock

The drums sound great and read your response to Gord about using EZ Drummer. You aren't the first person I heard that likes them and they sound like real drums. Must look into those.

Your guitar playing is smoking, the arpegios were nice! Cool track man!

guitarjock replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you very much for the review. Yup, EZ Drummer is rather amazing. What's really cool is that you can download other midi drum tracks from different programs and then adjust them to fit your own songs. So if you are not great at increasing and decreasing the midi velocity levels, you may be able to find some pre mixed midis that work for your song. Really cool software.

on When Im Gone by Ohropack

The horn really adds a distinctive flavour to the piece. Nice build up to the end and the drums are nice and simple, leaving space for strings and some percussion. Really nice track!

Wayne

theHumps 26th Sep 2010 11:04 - 15 years ago

on Spring Is Coming by Ohropack

Excellent piano composition, great arrangement and emotion. Nicely put together, my first listen today and it is a perfect sunday morning eye opener!

Wayne

Ohropack replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Ah don't blush me :D
It makes me happy when I reach other people with my music :)

Thank you

on SEE THE LIGHT by MADVICKO

I like percussion so I got drawn into it when I heard the bongos and shaker. I liked the piano as well. You do a great job with the english singing. I like the positive feel to this!

Wayne

theHumps 25th Sep 2010 23:18 - 15 years ago

on TRAVELLER by MADVICKO

Nice track, very well put together, it has a great vibe to it. Like the vocals and backing vocals too. Cool guitars!

Welcome to looperman!

on Lift (updated) by Thethanx

Hey Tt,

The bass at around 37 sec could prob come down just a tad, sounded a little much in my headphones. Thought there could have been some more highs in it as well, just brighten it up a bit, add some presence. That could be because it's not mastered too. Just my opinion, hope it helps.

Catchy track, liked it!

Wayne

Thethanx replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for! I think my headphones don't have the range to pick up the bass, because honestly I can't hear it at all! I'll be sure to bring down the volume a bit and EQ up the highs... It's a bit tough because I'm making my tracks on an Ipod Touch, but I think I can manage it. Thanks again for the really helpful review.

*edit track updated, took your advice and eq'd the highs on the bass a bit higher.
