on April Rain by lievebeesie
Very nice first track, it sounds great! The piano is well done and the drums sound great. Can't wait to hear more. Do you sing as well?

Welcome to looperman!

on She makes no magic anymore by FrenchKid18
You decided to go with an electric rather than the acoustic, I think you made a good decision. Nice vocal performance and nice effects on them. Excellent recording overall, is it mastered?

I'm volunteering to add a bass line when you get to that point. Percussion, bongos, and more percussion, lol!!!! That's all I have to say about that.

Send me this version when you get a sec!!

on Garden State girl by drahm
Cool track man. I've only driven down the Jersey Trpk and this beautiful song was not the first kind of music that came to mind, lol, but I wish I had it with me! Seriously though, this is relaxing but a nice upbeat feel to it, it put me in a good place. dl and fav, thanks!

on Totally Twisted Twitchy Track by NoisicRecords
That's different, but I like different. Intense is a good way to describe this. How many tracks or individual noises are on this? Not my usual listen, but I did chuckle at the voice samples!

Hope things are going well.

I think I used about 15 individual tracks to make this one, indcluding all the samples/voices and weird noises I made with the VST.

on YOU SHALL NOT PASS by bcway
Your drum tracks are always interesting, what do you use to create them? I like the short punchy guitar chords and the synths seemed to add some more tension to the song.

I've listened to this a few times now and there is a lot going on here, nice job! Kinda cinematic, I could hear this in a spy, thriller, mission impossible type movie.

Great to see you back in action! Take care,

Wayne

Hey Wayne, I use Magix ( 15 ? ). I keep on using it because it easy, fast, but unfortunatly maddening at times for not doing what I really want - I have to settle for a somewhat passable version to what's running around the inside of my mind kicking over the furniture. I'm not sure if this makes sense or not, but, many musicians put accents on the beginning of a series of bars - I do it at the end - this could very well be the Irish ( or fun time lunacy ) influence. And, my base/drum co-cordination sometimes run counter to each other and then meet together for an important accent. Then, for flavour - a loop in the background seemingly running amok by itself but really fits nicely ( sometimes in the fourth dimension - which is time acording to Stephan Hawking ).
Ok, I just read what I had typed - that's a bit odd - it's the bit of vodka and amaroula fault.
Anyhow, thank for dropping by and reviewing. I just wish I had more time ( and sense be it good or bad ) to create more.

on Make it stop by bcway
I was getting into it when it stopped, hey, what happened to the rest of it, lol. I would like to here that you continue working on it and finish it as a full song. The didgeridoo had a cool funk going on, more, more.....

Wish you the best of health!

Hey there Wayne - when I started this, I said "just love that digerydoo". I got that far before I said " MAKE IT STOPPPP !!!!" lol
I suppose I shall have to revisit it when I am able to tolerate the sound.

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.

siensystem replied Unknown
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.

BrianMaiden407 replied Unknown
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
JHolmes replied Unknown
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.

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.

dl and fav, thanks bud!
