on A Good Bass Player Is Hard To Find by Badhuman
I left the page and lost my review,Oh yea,this is good,real good!
I said a lot of other nice stuff also that meant good,real good.
So you think you can strip this down a little,maybe play a little more bass:)
Seriously,awesome!

on Guitar Heros by Randall822
Hey Randy,Your stuff is consistently great!Nice drums and guitar sound,that"clean distortion"is good,the kind you don't have to cover up with more and you can actually hear the chords,very good.I have to keep visiting you and movin'through your songs.

Hello there Allen,

Still exploring eh? Cool. I am at work now. Glad you liked the 'Guitar Hero's' tune. It was a fun one to make. To get the best sound and distinguishable notes, you have to pretty much make duplicate tracks of your instruments.

One track would be sent hard left and the other hard right. Mixing the 2 is called layering...to get a nice full sound. On one track you can keep it dry...meaning no reverb or effects...just basic.
On the other track, you put in the effects you want. Then play the tracks back and 'blend' the 2 together so you get the sound you want. So this way you can have distortion, but the clear track will cut thru and thus the 2 together will sound great...high distortion, yet you can still hear all the notes clearly.
You could also make a 3rd or more tracks of the same instrument, or say an acoustic guitar for a nice sound if appropriate, to add in another sound as well.

Ok....I will check out your page again and see what else you have there. I have been working 4 weeks now without a day off....so the music production is slow for me right now.

Thanks again,
Randy

on Something Wicked This Way Comes by SpyderX
If i could play metal I would ask to jump in here with you but I don't have that edge,and I like it but you know it's gotta be real and i've been in Eddie Van Halen's pocket too long:)Great song Spyder.

SpyderX replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Well, you don't have to jump in on this one, but if you're really interested I DO have several unfinished songs more in the rock/pop/hiphop vein which could use some awesome guitar licks. Just a thought....

As always, thanks for the listen and review, bro.

Peace,

SpyderX replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Actually, I play fake guitar (guitar emulators) ~ LOL! But between my emulators and the occasional loop, I usually get the sound I'm lookin' for.

Thanks for the listen and review, brother ~ I really do appreciate it.

Peace,

on Light Of The Tunnel by BrianMaiden407
Very good,like the beat and changes.I'll tell you BM, that guitar or should I say the sound/tone of it is becoming a nice signature sound for you when it's added and we both know it's not just the instrument,it's that live touch.It may seem like a small thing but that bar chord you hit,i think it's D,when the drums drop out mid way was very cool,you play it with guitar just once I believe.
Great!

Hi Allen, thanks for droping in and sendin along a review!Iam sure you will agree, you got to have something in your hands that has musical feel and tone with residenace to make ya connect to what your playing.I truly beleive just as tone matters so much, so does the overtunning the guitar is at! when those to elements are in line and harmonize nicly, its all up to you and how you make it happen! aww yeah the joy of it all!

thanks so so much for your nice comments,greatly apperacte it big time guy!

on How stupid men can be by FrenchKid18
I love how well this song is crafted.Great hamonies,nice notes before the drums and bass come in.A cheerfully sad song,Dm then Fm on end of chorus I think? creates a nice early Beatlesque feel,Love it.

on Angel of Sensuality by BrianMaiden407
Is that the Chinese Strat,It sounds great.My Tele is from Mexico and I love it,some people are suprised when I tell them Yes,every part was played with this standard guitar and a small pedal.You have the ear and talent for this and it pays off for you.I like the guitar pan,I heard EVH talkin'about it before and I try to use it myself,it's odd but to me it seems to give a mono guitar part a more seperated and ultimately"stereo"sound,for me anyway.very good Bm.
Oh yea,Great licks also!

BrianMaiden407 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
HI Allen, thanks for the review here! Yeah thats the Squire Strat with a rosewood fret board on these tracks. I have spent alot of time and money trying different strats out and after years of trial and error on this, the ones I feel really excell in what iam doing are the China,japan and koren strats. The ones made in the mid early 80s are truly musicallity increadable. I also found the rosewood board gets a meaner sound verse the maple boards.One thing, the pick ups do hum a bit in mid and bridge postions, but when iam playing live, its not noticeable at all. In recording you may have to work around it. Iam sure ungrading to noiseless pickups would make a big differance.Also, I have found that every strat needs to be tweeked in someway.I only pay 50 bucks for the one iam using and they can be found all over central florida in the pawn shops. The japan guitars are unreal for tone and feel.There more money, around 300 to 600 dollars, but really worth buying. Also check the old Valvestate marshall amps! I have used over a dozen differnet types and in my opion, you wont beat the old VS models with greenback speakers.I have used a few of them and allways suprize me,even with high ceilings were you need to cover space with the output! also I sometimes double the track after its tweeked to get the stero feild,one thing, it might not be nessary to do some and might make the track more noiser, so you have to use your judgement when doing so! I love working with vocals tracks in the matter and plan on doing son unique stuff shorthly with vocals,Sort of beatles meet arrowsmith in dark alley lol! anyways thanks for the reviews, they are a big assest in making new music, I really like to hear how I can produce better sounding tracks and write better with more meaning!

thanks so much!
