on drops by rei4real

Great low bass sound. All the synth sounds going on but a lot of space still. Bells were a nice touch. Glad you put the guitar in there, made a difference I think.

Insta-fav!

Wayne

rei4real replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

yeah, the bassline is made of 4 different vst's, was much work to make it sound like that ...
and you're right, the guitar changed the mood of the song a lot!!!
thx for your review ... ;-)
peace, rei

Wayne

Nicooo replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you Wayne, all the credit goes to frenchkid for the arrengments, I just got into the song, I think is a very cinematic track, she wants to go and he doesn't take it.

on BILBOZO - MY CORONA by Bilbozo

First off, I love the Knack but glad it wasn't a cover after hearing this. This is pretty dang sweet! The classical sounded great as well as the percussion. This is such a pleasure to listen to as I love the latin sound.

theHumps 1st May 2010 11:50 - 16 years ago

on Funkin Up Your Head by Enhouse

This is pretty good man, really diggin when the snare came in. Lots of percussion, like it. Cool changes throught the song.

Wayne

on Before the Storm (LE) by Obruno

Your description really helped set the tone for the listening experience. You have some nice sounds working together here. Nice job putting this together!

Wayne

Obruno replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks for the comment. I try to think outside of norms and challenge myself when I make music.

on 4 Instrumental by CONEYISLANDRECORDS

This has a nice 70's feel to it, the OJays or something like that, a bit of the disco/mowtown vibe that was happening back then. This took me back a few!! Nicely produced as well.

Wayne

CONEYISLANDRECORDS replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks man! Def a 70's feel! Ive been into sampling like crazy so when I do decide to make an all original track stuff like this happens. I love that late 70's early 80's soul/funk vibe. I dont know what it is about that era but I dig the shht outta it. Thanks for the kind words and the reveiw man!

on Goosebump Landscape by n0mad23

This has an intensity to it that I like brought on by the drums and the great percussion. The tablas have a nice tones to them and sound really nice. On play three now and there is a lot of sound here! Very edgy, raw sounding, could hear this in a sci fi movie for sure. Def puts you in a certain frame of mind listening to it..

Great stuff,

Wayne

n0mad23 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hi Wayne. You've found one of my earlier pieces that I tend to forget about now! This one was done as a live loop mix using I Am The Mighty Jungulator, and about the time I realized the power of Max MSP. Funny enough, I've recently pulled up that old buggy software and am shocked at how it no longer serves the kind of music I'm making. You can really hear the percussion fiend sensibility I carry with this track, can't you? Thanks for the listen and positive words. Sean

on For You by Reyer

Very nice track, well mixed. You have the voice for this music, sounds great!

Wayne

Reyer replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks for checking out my track and the kind words.

on rEvolution 3 - Forming Solid Bodies in Water by n0mad23

This is pretty interesting, kinda freeky in a way. Very cinematic as well, maybe in a science fiction thriller!! The sounds complete a great mind trip and really stir the emotions, you just have to stay away from the brown acid when you listen to this one, lol.

I like it, very creative soundscape, the bass has a nice low tone that you added, sounds great in the headphones!!

n0mad23 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

I wonder if I shouldn't put in a disclaimer "Warning - this track draws from the Post-Industrial branch of Ambient Music: Not to Chill Out to." As a deliberate attempt at Ambient music, my goal here really is to create auditory hallucinations and some sort of altered state of consciousness in the listener. It's working for me - and I suspect others too if your "stay away from the brown acid" comment is an indication. Thanks for the review and favorite! To your offerings at first available moment!

on Waiting for death by PedroCasillas

Nice, very emotional track. You are quite a gifted player and composer! Sweeeet stuff!!

Wayne

on Spinning by lisavonh

Very enjoyable track and a great one for your first here!! The production is very good and I love the tabla, the sitar and your vocals which are strong.

Welcome to the loop!!

Wayne

on I wish I could sit here forever ft Eshar by rei4real

This is pretty slick! Like the overall feel to this, dark, mysterious and the vocals fit perfectly. They greatly add to the tension that seems to underly this composition. The production is outstanding as seems to be the case in all your music. Fav!!

Wayne

rei4real replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

I try to get out the maximum of my limited technical resources ... everything's done with freeware ...
but over the years I learned a lot about production technique, and I have a solid musical education, all together it's enough to know what I have to do to reach my goal ... ;-)
thx for listening!!!

peace, rei

on Butterfly Opens - Titanium Handles Lock Fast by n0mad23

What can I say that hasn't already been said, this is just great my friend, put together perfectly. Everything is just so right about this on all levels. I think your best work I've heard so far, very impressed with this!!

On "ted.com" there is a great talk about how a researcher, who studied crows, found out how smart crows are and how there social structure is so complex. Very smart birds them crows!! I read your reply to Anomelie's comments on crows and had to add my 2 cents!

Wayne

n0mad23 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hey Wayne - it's been hard not responding with crow and raven stories with every review as I have so many! For example, their ability and need to play. Two winters ago, on one snowy day I watched 4 crows sliding down the neighbors roof on their backs. When they'd bump into and stop at the gutter, they'd flip over and fly back up to the top and do it again. I swear they were all giggling crow style the whole time.

This track actually took a long time, and I played with the original jahknow loops for over 5 months before it started to click. I agree with your assessment, and am a bit nervous as I feel I've raised the bar pretty high for myself with this one. But then again, in watching my own evolution with this medium, it's pretty obvious that each track is somehow better than the last. Learning curve still in effect. So glad you dig this one, and am delighted by your review. Thanks!

on One Dancer by Anomelie

This is a great song, loved the guitar and flute working together. I really dig the latin sound in general and this just grabbed me from the first measure. Nice mix! Instant dland fav!!

Wayne

Anomelie replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks, Wayne! I'm glad to have you in my mutual admiration society. :) I'm loving your stuff with your new guitar!

on They Do What They Want by Anomelie

I like all the synth sounds you have coming in here and there, interesting. JJ Perry? Another influence of yours that I have no idea who they are,lol! I'm looking forward to hearing this finished!!

btw, St. Vincent is being featured on an NPR station this weekend, I think an hour long show! I think the show is called "World Cafe".

Hope you're feeling better, sounds like you are!

Wayne

Anomelie replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hey Wayne, thanks for the tip on St. Vincent and for the encouragement here and in your emails. I'm glad you're on here. Hope to listen to your latest stuff soon! Hmmm... maybe tonight...

on Raw - 10 Minute Callenge by BadKonexion

Great effort for the 10 min challenge. It's very limiting but possible!

Wayne

on Cosas Oscuras (Tunnel Vision Mix) by Anomelie

I can feel your emotional state in the song, very telling. Are you playing the piano,keys on this?

Have you ever gone for a walk, got so caught up in your thoughts, then you suddenly snap out of it and realize you've just walked a great distance? This song had that drifting effect on me, I just melted into thoughts while listening to this a few times. Nice ambient track, meditative, emotional, soothing...

on Blue soul ft Nico by FrenchKid18

The guitar is so cool on this tune, sounds great! I liked the distorted lead, it just speaks to me, lol!! Really though, this is quite great, like the waltz beat!!

Wayne

FrenchKid18 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Hey!
Glad you like the track Wayne!This is one of my first guitar solo so it has some kind of sentimental value for me.My cousin told me some bends were a little off but...who cares,lol?!?

on A Plague on You by RayKoefoed

Hey, this is really cool Ray! Think you should go with the flow on your approach to constructing your songs. Loved the vox!

I spend as little time as possible recording my live tracks, guitars and vocals. I think when you go back and try to adjust the flow of things, you can take away some of the spontineity and lose the initial idea and feel of the song. I'll go back and fix mistakes basically. I can spend half an hour to eight hours recording the tracks then about the same time on the engineering and mixing of the tracks and I usually end up posting a 2nd or third mix.

Could they be better? Probably, but I'll be working on the next one tomorrow. It really frees you up and lets you be more loose(in a good way)about your music! You'll be surprised by your creations and we will all benefit by listening to them!!

Oh yea, great song!! :)

Wayne

RayKoefoed replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thanks again Humps. That is good advice. It makes me kind of wish I had and could play some live instruments so that I could really capture that natural essence you do with guitar tracks and such. Spontineity seems very important, I know you are right about that. It is difficult doing it digitaly. Perhaps I should be recording myself keying the notes on the keyboard instead of sequencing them with a mouse. I will try that.

on I Dont Dance by Buddahmann by Buddahmann

This was great, very professional sounding mix and I could def hear this on the radio. Nice vocals and delivery!

Wayne

Buddahmann replied Unknown - 2027 years ago

Thank you. I also like your sound so thats a great compliment coming from you. My engineer is one of the best I've heard... Definitely a greater pre-master mixer

theHumps 30th Mar 2010 22:13 - 16 years ago

on Let Da Record Play Beat DJdaddio by Keston

I like you're voice and you're vocal approach, easy to listen to.

Like the feel to this, very cool track.
