on Funktastic by Filaofsoul

Heya Fila, been a while but I remember all your tasty musical tidbits! Nice rhythm groove to set a bed for the sax and keys to do their thing. Hope all is going well.

Hat's off to Joe!

on on the drive - Pseudoble rmx -by Aap ft muz knock by pseudoble

This is a cool idea, mix is fine. Vocal track is nice. A bit busy in spots but I like it. I agree a lot of what Ed said about guitar placement. Personally, I always play/record way more than what is necessary then edit out what doesn't work or what interferes with the singing.

Cheers!

Wayne

pseudoble replied 6th Feb 2022 - 4 years ago

Hey Wayne - playing too much is the only way I end up with anything to use but I often find it hard to edit it down once the more obvious errors are axed!

Appreciate the thoughtful listen and feedback

Looking forward to your next one

on Metalish by Jynxz

This works for me, hard rock with some elements of electronic music in a loose arrangement of neat hooks and changes with some vox samples to add interest. There are some moments in there that just are smoking hot, well done! Great idea!

Wayne

Jynxz replied 6th Feb 2022 - 4 years ago

Hello Wayne,

When you say any part of one of my tracks is "smoking hot",
I consider it a huge compliment.

Thank you for your listen and encouraging comments.

PEACE...

on Dark Money by ClickbaitCabaret

Good description, spot on. Nice horror movie music, dark, menacing, sets a scary atmosphere. Mix sounded cool on the headphones!

Wayne

ClickbaitCabaret replied 6th Feb 2022 - 4 years ago

Thanks for listening.

on You dont know me by beerling1970

I really like that screaming guitar around the 2:15 mark, very cool. Vocals have a Geddy Lee feel to them. Has a big production sound, rumbling toms.

Sorry to hear you didn't get to save it. I've learned from years of doing this to continually save your session as you are working on it.

Cool track!

Wayne

on KlOWN by Spivkurl

I agree with so many of the comments that have been posted about this one. Driving, intense, beat. I can picture a movie where someone driving a car, all jacked up, is shown, face sweating, eyes darting, wheels flying, rain pouring as the windshield wipers slap to the tempo, cinematic in some way.

Interesting to read you are not all in on this one. Hope all is well in your life, take care Spiv!

Wayne

Spivkurl replied 24th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago

Wayne, so glad to see you chime in on one of my newer works!

I don't drive, but the person behind my wheel was definitely jacked up... I understand what you mean. Interesting that you find it cinematic, I had not thought of that!

My life is balancing out, even if it's not what I'd hoped for. Thank you for the care!

on Frank Yola WHAT IT TAKES ft Mike Reality - ReMix by pseudoble

This is different, the spoken word vocals and a world music music track, can't say you hear that all the time. The lyrics are cool, all of them. You are trying something new, innovative, I'm sure there are things you're not too sure on because it's different. To me it's a gut feeling you have to have when you try something different and need to make some decisions.

Cheers!

Wayne

pseudoble replied 10th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago

Hey thanks for listening Wayne - seems most people dont like it - never mind - Im pretty happy with it actually - although Im not sure if it might be better without the vox - I do think that words usually add more to a track than not. Who was it who said lyrics are a trick to get people to listen to music - that's somewhat true I reckon : )

on Rockish by Jynxz

Damn, you covered all the musical bases here! lol Hell of a track!

I'm tired now. ;)

Wayne

Jynxz replied 8th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago

What's up Wayne,

At first I started out to make this track "Opera-ish.
It blew chunks lol. I'm glad I got the chance to hook up with Micky and use the idea of more of a Rock type theme.
Thanks for your listen and comments.

PEACE...

on Never Knew Featuring Patricia Edwards by doofus

I couldn't agree more about Patricia, she is one of the most talented people here at the loop. Everyone who played on this did a wonderful job!

Mix is solid, just the right amount of compression giving all the instruments their space while also giving the track enough punch. The song is sweet, who wouldn't like this?

Great job!

Wyane

doofus replied 9th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago

Thanks man, mixing's not my bag, and after watching several youtube videos on mastering, it's still not my bag. But if it sounds cool, then cool!

theHumps 4th Jan 2022 05:57 - 4 years ago

on Didnt know it was the good old days until it wasnt by pseudoble

Good title! Atmospheric, light, spacious, wondrous. I like the reverbs you used to create the sound, the fullness of the track in the stereo field.

Nice piece!

Wayne

pseudoble replied 4th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago

Hey thanks Wayne - the title was somewhat how Ive been feeling about coming down with covid and the whole current situation with everyone's life in some kind of limbo ... you dont know what youve got till its gone hey
The vst effects pedal I used for this is from Neural DSP - lots of metal stuff from them but also some nice delays and reverbs and other things to play with - expensive to buy though nice to trial : )

on 2 dudes and a ditch - a Zootman Pseudoble Collab by pseudoble

Fun title, made me laugh!

Interesting to listen to, trying to absorb it all in takes a few listens but worth it. Sometimes I find if I give a song several listens I can understand more what the producer's aim was. Sometimes I miss the point totally, lol. Plenty to enjoy and pick out, liked the shaker and the backwards parts.

Creative track, neat collab, congrats to both of you!

Wayne

pseudoble replied 2nd Jan 2022 - 4 years ago

Thanks Wayne - the ditch refers to the channel between Aotearoa (aka New Zealand) and the Australia. Chris and I the the 2 dudes ... though I think he probably has a lot more style than me! Im pretty pleased with this track I guess more so because the final result was unexpected but I agree there is often lots to listen too in tracks if you lean in and take the time to really have a good listen. As always I appreciate your careful listen and the warm feedback : )

on Simple melody for a dance by sirefox

The bells are cool, I like the way you have the effects on them. Bright mix, clear. There's a feeling of good will in the song but a few chords resolve with some feeling of darkness too. Well put together, has a particular sound and feel to it that I like!

Wayne

sirefox replied 30th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Hola amigo Wayne, gracias por tu comentario tan positivo, me anima saber que te a gustado mi pista, espero que tengas unas fiestas alegres y llenas de felicidad. Paz y salud.

on aporia by monkwee

Good idea, good effort, no complaints, happy to hear real instruments playing a pop/rock idea. Now ya have to get the mic set up and lay down some vocals! ...maybe someday.

Wayne

monkwee replied 28th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

this means a lot coming from you, friend! you might be right, i'll have to start coming up with some vocal parts someday soon! Thanks for your time and for the kind words! cheers!

on CICwutUdo by Spivkurl

Hey! Hope you start uploading some new tunes, miss you around here.

Wayne

Spivkurl replied 4th Jan 2022 - 4 years ago

For some reason I did not get a notification about your comment, but noticed it all the same! I hope to come through with new works too, but still need to piece my studio together after several moves. It's been an adventure, let me tell you! At least I have some ideas and works in progress to show for it. Nice to hear from you!

on UNDERMORPHINE - Vitriol DEMO by thechockehold

That bass is rockin, love the slap you got going on! There's a lot to like here, wished it was longer to see where this goes. Well done fellas!

Wayne

thechockehold replied 24th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Thanks, dude! Bass it the only thing I am happy with sound of on this one, and it will remain this way till the release for sure. Darkglass are doing superb bass gear their Alpha-Omrga head closed all of the questions regarding the bass I have before:)

on You Have Covered Me by MWRatridge

Hey Mark!

I really liked the 3 part harmony guitar parts in the lead. I always liked bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Thin Lizzy that used harmony leads. Well done Mark, enjoy your holidays!

Wayne

MWRatridge replied 16th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Hi Wayne,

I love harmonies with guitars, from the bands you mentioned to Boston. Merry Christmas my friend.

Mark.

on Noche de paz by sirefox

Quite a production!

I think it got a little loud and a bit distorted, watch your threshold and gain on the limiter/compressor on the master channel. If you back those down a bit you will start to hear all the instruments in their places and the mix will open up more.

Wayne

sirefox replied 13th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Hola amigo Wayne, gracias por tus consejos, he rebajado la ganancia y la verdad ahora se oye más claro y limpio, estaba un poco saturado. Quería darle un toque esotérico al villancico y la verdad me pasé un poco. Gracias compañero por tu ayuda, que tengas un buen día. Paz y salud.

on How to Loot Brazil-Eating Stars - Pseudoble - Rmx2 by pseudoble

This is pretty cool! To me it's alt rock, reminds me a bit of a band called Belly(and it's off shoot bands). I like the vocals, neat effects on them. Pretty decent track!

Wayne

pseudoble replied 13th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Hey Wayne - yeah youre right its more alt rock or indie sounding ... Dont know Belly but I'll check them out
Thanks for listening : )

on Strawberry Fields Forever by BananaLu

Well done Banana! Mix sound fine. Kept going to my door, was hearing the sound of a doorbell while listening.

Turn up the Strawberries!!

Wayne

BananaLu replied 19th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

hahah :) nice one. I love when tracks play Jedi mind tricks on us. Happens me all the time too :)

on Demasiado pronto - Ashesndreams by Ashesndreams

Nice track! Simple songs are the best. I like the guitar and the vocals, they work together nicely.

If you plan to go back into this I would try lowering the volume on the vocals a bit and add some more reverb to get them to sit in the mix a little more. The reverb should spread the vocals out, boost them a bit and make them fit in better with the instruments. Just my suggestion.

Wayne

Ashesndreams replied 8th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Got it, thanks for the suggestipn, im still learning

on Trying feat Jenna Evans by AtticElla

Just by looking at your avatar I could tell you were good at making house.

This is upbeat and fun, the vocals seem to work well. Punchy mix.

Wayne

AtticElla replied 7th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Thanks for listening Wayne. Really appreciate it.

on Modnex - nO gRaViTy by Modnex

Different and interesting, some neat sounds. Keep trying out different things. These daws are so full of cool plugins, sounds and effects that it's mind boggling sometimes. Have fun!

Wayne

Modnex replied 7th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Hey Wayne! Thanks, mate! You're so right. At the end of the day making music is about having fun and exploring new things. It truly is amazing what we can do nowadays with a few clicks on a computer.

theHumps 7th Dec 2021 07:37 - 4 years ago

on Irrational Needs by crucethus

Great transitions between the parts, that stood out most to me. The ending part was a bit of a departure from the rest of the track but I have no issues with it. I couldn't tell you what Italian Club music is but I like to eat an Italian club sandwich. I mean, who doesn't?

Mix was solid, track was interesting. Good, distinct parts.

Wayne

on Full Circle by AtticElla

This, to me, has a beach feel to it. If I were to be laying on the sand at the beach with the sound of ocean waves crashing, this is what I would want to be hearing playing on the portable stereo. And maybe some Bob Marley, he.

Wayne

AtticElla replied 5th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago

Thank you Wayne.

on Take the Sky by Nodog

There is a nice intensity and pace to this. To me it would work as a cinematic piece in a thriller.
