on Trials I by siensystem
Hmmmm, interesting. How complex can you get the sounds, prob depends on the amount of time you want to spend doing the math, huh?

Old scifi music, theramin sounding at times. Sure is different, but cool.

Thanks theHumps! You are correct, it all depends. In this case I didn't spend too much time on it and it could probably sound better. Truthfully, I think the logic is where things were more dicey. Greatly appreciate that you liked it and I welcome your review. Thanks!

on The Dreamer ft Chase Manhattan and AndrewDyche by ChaseManhattan
Nice job with the vocals on this, pretty slick! Think they could be louder in the mix, maybe just move the keys to the side a bit, give the vox a little more room, just a suggestion. fav, very cool track

on Chasing Cars by ChrisHall
Firt off, this is a nice song and I think a good choice for you to cover, it fits your vocals. I like the way you arranged this, nice dynamics overall. You vocals seem to get a little lost when all the instruments increase, around 2 min. Sounds like the electric guitar you have is mixed too close to the vocals or may be a bit too loud.

What I like to do a lot with my rhythm guitar tracks is to widen the stereo field a bit(or a lot depending on the song)so they are mixed to the left and right of the vocals. I really try to leave the center open for just the vocals and try not to have any instrument with similar frequencies competing with it in it's place in the mix. Kick and bass are ok down the middle, they have lower freqs and don't clash with the vox's freqs.

I'll even widen the stereo field and then pan the guitar track quite a bit left or right. I do this a lot with songs that only have a couple instruments to fatten the tracks up and fill the entire panning range, left to right.

I'm babbling now, lol, hey nice song Chris, hope any of this helps! Nice vocals again.

on Pull that String Nice and Hard by BrianMaiden407
Nice guitar hook, would have liked to hear a few more guitar fills cuz that one was pretty cool. Drums were pretty well done as well, overall thought it to be a pretty decent track!

Cool track guys, liked the whole thing! As it built up I got into it more and more. The dub change at the end was an unexpected transition. Well done man!

on paranoid by VampireCowboy
I agree with what rawhead said for the most part. These types of songs are not only fun to make but are quite enjoyable for us, the listener, to get into and take a couple minutes to let the mind go someplace it often doesn't go to. Ambient as well. Cool track to listen to.

Hi Wayne, thanks so much for taking the time out to review the track,yeah this was a mini experment to use a harmonica as a lead instrument.I grew up with the sounds of Arrowsmith and it wound up in vain that they would do, Still fooling around with a sasy lyrical idea also with that.

Thanks again and will diffently put my ear to your tracks!

on Ready to Go by JHolmes
Great job man, not too shabby for 6 weeks!! Keep practicing and getting those fingers toughened up. I like the song, very cool!

Try adding another track or two, maybe some simple picking, go for it!!

Wayne

JHolmes replied Unknown - 2027 years ago
I'm going to have to rerecord it before I start layering. My timing/rhythm has never been very strong, and it's made worse by my newness to the guitar.

My fingers still aren't strong enough to play for more than 30-60 minutes at a time on the acoustic, so it will take awhile before I'm confident enough in this to start layering. My current plan is to record some electric with a click track (to keep me on beat), and use the acoustic as an intro, outro, or bridge.

on Hello neighbor by tkane
Somber subject matter but I think writing songs about our experiences in life that really cut deep is is nice artistic expression. It can also be good self therapy dealing with tough situations like the death of a friend. Cool tune T.

Too bad Ronnie James Dio just passed away because he would be perfect for the vox for this track!! Nice changes in this, also liked the harmony leads, nice touch!

Thanks, I love me that egyptian scale! It's really just a recent riff I made to give an impression of desired style, hoping to spark someones interest in collaborating. Thanks for enjoying the riff though (it is pretty brutal ;)! lol

on Bring in the Dark (updated) by BlueSkyBleedingBlack
Well alright!!! This sounds great man, nice crunchy guitars and a cool bass line to match. I really hope you can get some proper vocals on this, great as is but with the right vox this would kick some serious butt.

Hey, nice track zappo, just a pleasure to listen to. I really liked the guitar work in this especially the lead, which I think could have been louder in the mix. Some nice changes in this too.

This was very cool to listen to, very nice production here. Nice into and build up and there is some nice dynamics in this as far as bringing in and fading out instruments. I'm pretty new at electronic music but this was very cool to listen to, enjoyed!

on Wonder Milky B by FrenchKid18
I liked all the different changes in this one. The Riviera is sounding nice with a little phaser on it. Is that some tremelo on the lead fills or just the twang of the Riviera? It has a darker feel to it, nice production, sounds good!!

Wayne

FrenchKid18 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago
Thanks Wayne,
I like that phaser too.I also added some to the acoustic part I play with my Ovation (that's the one i got on the youtube vid),maybe a bit too much,lol
Yeah,I put some tremolo on the lead fills.I might turn down the bass a little,not too sure
Cheers
