HI Allen, thanks so much for taking the time out to review! this track was on the tuff side to mix!
its all ears,trial and error and sometimes thats not enough!! your ears can become fatuige fast if you play back at high dbs, so a nice low volume in the room is diffently the ticket to long mixing hours!! I love it, i grew up in stuidos in New York and it made a very lasting impression on me! I cant wait to do the next track! Thats how this all make ya feel! Keep a big open mind,latch on to some of the great sounds that are availble on looperman and let your self go, You,ll never want to come back!

Peace brother!

Very good!Keep going with your feelings.Those things that just flow without a lot of thought are almost always the best and the most intimate,I can hear it and am privileged.Bm is right,a very creative summer indeed!

on Rock With Me by Randall822
I had to take my boots off and leave the horse at home for this one Randy,great sound quality and mix here,Big.Loved the guitars and the way the keys swirled around.I was gonna start a new song tonight but i'm to busy listening,how many songs you got?

Hello there Allen,

Well, the 'Chicken Pickin' style is what I really enjoy, and it takes a lot of practice to get it down right. Basically starting very slowly and playing with at least 3 fingers to get the rolls in.

Not quite so hard for me as I played 5-string banjo as well. I love Rock and some Blues a lot too.
I have 26 songs posted up so there is quite a bit of variety in my work. I need to work more keys into my songs as I have 2 Korg units here beside me.
Glad you enjoyed this tune.
You can also go here and listen to them and also see my equipment I use.....

on Randy's Chicken Pickin by Randall822
Alright Randy,now you know I gotta put my boots and hat on and saddle up the Tele after this tasty slice of down home pickin'I did listen to this before but had to come back.First thing first you can play southern fried,second,you can play southern fried very well!Is there a difference between being inspired and just plain stealin'someones idea,they would string up(no pun intended)a guitar slinger for that wouldnt they?.Well I can't play pedal steel or slide,no fiddle and my son will probably refuse to create any country drums for me but other than that I aughta be good to go!
Great job,
Allen.

Hi Allen.
Looks like your getting into my music.....glad of that. I strive for quality...not quantity. I get my drum loop at www.betamonkeymusic.com or else I play them from the keyboard as I don't own any drums now.
I started to own a 9 piece white Ludwig drum set back in the 70's. But the person I got them from wanted them back.. as they missed playing them.

I am working on a 'Crunch' Rock tune now and then will get back to some more country pickin stuff.
Glad you liked this tune and I hope my music inspires you to play more. I am here all by myself!
Bye for now.........
Randy

on Funky Mix by Randall822
Very Good!I love the different variations of Funk you got goin' on,I'm new here and almost gave up on playing until I found this community,everyone has been so welcoming and every day I find more wonderful artists like yourself.I'll be listening to more of your music.You know I played a Les Paul then switched to a Tele about 17yrs ago and never looked back,you really can make it sound any way you want.I wanted to introduce myself and complement your song and style.

Hello there Allen,

Nice that you could get around to enjoy this site more. Yes, there is lots of good talent on here and some think I am one.. ;-) But I am an old guy...just turned 66 Sunday.

Anyways, I am glad you enjoyed my funky tune. It isn't particulary the type I like, but I have a lot of settings on my Korg M-3 that has these types of sounds....so I wanted to try a song in this genre.
If you read my profile, then you know a lot about me already. The Beatles I met in person in France, influenced me to learn guitar. From there I never looked back. Had my own band and did sound for others.
Now my power plant job won't let me play in a band because of the varied work hours....so I make music all myself using a combo of my instruments and loops using Pro Tools.

Presently, I own 4 Fender Telecasters. 2 of them are limited edition Buck Owens guitars...more for an investment.
If you want to hear some "Chicken pickin" tele sounds, then check out this tune I put together a short time ago. It is called 'Randy's Chicken Pickin'. I love that style and will do another.

Okay, take care and if you have any questions, let me know.

Randy

on The Song That You Will never Hear by BrianMaiden407
Brian,a lot has been said in other reviews and I agree.This is an important song on many levels,of course to you, and to us as listeners,even if we did not know of your loss.I'm mixed about vocals myself,may sound odd but the music seems so intimate,even with the guitars that it would take something special to speak any more clearly than your music,maybe because I know it's heartfelt and you can hear it,That's your call.Some guitar swells maybe,I hit the note then swell the volume with my pinky,it has been a way of expression and emotion from the guitar for me,
Well done.
Allen

BrianMaiden407 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Yeah , Iam with ya there on that, I totaly feel the same with vocals! Its the Pop glmor thing that is a turn off for me in the singing area, I allways liked it in the sence of drama and acting and not just vocal technique. I was one for sole full blusy stuff , but anything entaining has caught my ears in the past that was "out of the box"competely.Should be fun to see what can be mustered up in the music labortory in the near future! thanks for review allen and enjoy all your creative endvors!

on No More Lip From Her by BrianMaiden407
I'm sorry it took me so long to get here brian,I didn't know what i was missin'You are very talented my friend.Harp is cool and I can't leave a review without complementing your drums.

Aerosmith lyric from"Last Child"
"Take me back to a south Tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Got to get back to the real nitty gritty"

That's what I'm hearin'man,you got a great song here with lot's of attitude.

Just a punk in the street"

on We Walk The Same Dream by BrianMaiden407
This is really good!I love when the drums come in and out of the track,creates anticipation,like that drum roll it adds a lot,I can't do rolls yet.The whole song is right on.Great guitar nice rhythm it's lite and complimentary building up to the lead then the song gently takes us back home,this is how I like to hear a song constructed .Can't say anymore without writing a book.I think it's one of the best I've heard here for these reasons.
Hey,I need to do a song with that guitar tone.
Well done.

on She makes no magic anymore by FrenchKid18
Great guitar sound and song,It really does sound good stripped.For myself I hear a Santana lead maybe or clean and jazzy,I tend to think on guitar terms.I might have to plug the guitar in and jam with this one myself!
Allen

Hey Frenchkid,I played with this.You know the more I listen it seemed to have a complete life of it's own,everything I tried took away instead of adding to,you don't want to cover up that sweet mandolin.It does stand alone as a great song,I have played guitar long enough to know when not to.Now having said that,let's definitly do something together!

Love it,your reply to NeoEnigma001 was what I needed to hear.I got myself in trouble reading about Comp,soft&hard limit...without understanding how to use them I just made things sound worse.When I first recorded on cassette I had none of these options so I had to try to have my guitar and backing tracks sound to my ears"decent"going in,then mix.i would like to hit you up also for a few tips...sorry,forgot this is about your song,love the guitar and clap in the middle,love that air.You know what your doin'
