Thanks for the review. Do you have any tips when it comes to produces a song like this?

I record using an electro-acoustic guitar (the one in main pic) but my computer is 8 years old and acts strangely from time to time ; usually when recording. I could really do with a newer much better set-up (its on my wish list) but I have to make do with this for now. Thanks for your suggestions I may try recording pure acoustic with 2 microphones. glad u enjoyed this track.

Rei,
Thanks Rei,
related to music that is the only positive thing about losing the onces you love. It can give you so much emotion and inspiration in music. But I would gladly give that back in return for all my friends and family I lost.

thanks!

I know exactly what you mean by it ending too soon. I have a funny feeling this is going to turn into one of those Epic long ##### songs, with me sinking more time into it. I wanted to get the rough idea down ASAP with what I was hearing inside my head. I live a block away from a convientent store, I found myself singing out words and practicing some prospective vocal Comps. I was really uncertain what the hell I was singing when I laid down this track and it's rather weak. I hear another chord that the opening here is wanting to move to. I might experiment with it some. I do need to get my hands on some killer TOM drums and Cymbols to pull off the part that kicks in for Drive. I don't know what the Next Level of this song is going to go to, what it's going to sound like. I'm open to any suggestions or ideas anybody wants to toss out. Even loops or whatnot. 120 BMP is what it's set at. :-)

Good ears! I did not get to the chorus and 2nd chorus for the bass part yet. Do you play the bass? Would love to have someone play bass on it. This was done with a MIDI keyboard...

Hi Rei,
This was my Westone Spectrum DX with a Bendmaster Deluxe Whammy bar, Going Through a tiny amp called a Rockman by Tom Scholz, going through a Digitech DSP 256 FX processor. He used the volume knob alot. From that, straight into the old Tascam 246 four track cassette recorder.

Thanks Rei, I just checked out your track that you orginally did. I love it. Thanks for checking mine out and thanks for the loops. peace.

Thanks man, It took some work to make some of the clean loops dirty to blend with the others. Then take everything to a clean sound in the Jazzy Bridge Section. I was feeling a bit Jack White and Eric Clapton on the main grooves. The Feedback guitar sort of Steve Stevens. The Jazzy Bridge reminded me of something Spyo Gyra would pull off. I tried to pump things up before going into the Jazzy Bridge section. A Rockin Pre-Bridge? Kick back into the Punkish Groove, back to the Blues Groove.. well you get the idea. I had to take it all down to electronic Synth work at the end. The fun part is matching up a bunch of loops to a steady groove in the same key.

HI there Rei,
Thanks my man for checking out my latest tune. I appreciate your comments always. This was a fun one to make as well.

Thanks Man. I was going back listening to some of my mixes from last year. They are missing so much bottom end and in general the mixes are not as great as they could have been. I still remember downloading Music Maker with the intention of just recording song ideas. Sort have been pushing myself more and more with mixing and arrangement lately. Sort of fun playing around with electronic composition because it's so different from playing music out live in a band.
