Tumbleweed

Ed, you are far too kind! It was an important song for me to complete, and as is often the case, songs like that are difficult for me to share with anyone. Sometimes I wonder about being one of a kind, and all I need to do is think of my wife... we share too many feelings and ideas for that to be true. In reading about clovers, white clovers specifically, I learned that the world record for most leaflets on a clover is 86. I think that my upbringing regarding the rarity of a simple four leaf clover was simply overstated. Hopefully this is true, otherwise something odd is going on in our backyard the last few years! Thank you for your listen, and the discussion! Have a great day!

Thanks for listening and for the feedback, much appreciated :)

thanks a millie been working at it

Thank you Tumble. I might take it down and try for a little more depth and a little more stuff in there irt sounds a little long winded in places now but you know what it's like creating these things having to listen to the same bit over and over and over until your happy with it and then it gets tempting to repeat thaty bit a few to many times ... that's me at the moment.

Hi my friend

Yep still use Sony, so that is good news re magix...Things okies here my friend, waiting to get into a Hospital then hoping things will settle down health wise...Peace...Mosaic...

Hey Ed

Thank you mate for stopping by, and more so your kind words on the track, just listen to this again and fairly happy with it, glad you enjoyed the piece...Peace Ed...mosaic...

Thanks Ed, I always respect your view on things so I take your compliment on my vocals to heart, I appreciate it. It's tough to for me to like my own voice I guess, but I do like singing so I guess I just need to except it and just make music because its fun. As always I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment. Thanks!!!

Hi. Thx mat. I'm glad that your heart enjoy.

Hi Ed,

I thought I'd chime in and thank you personally for your kind words. I'm not exactly sure what I've 'got' except a decent speaking voice, but I can't really sing, but thanks anyway.

You don't really need a surround system, but it's nice when you can hear different instruments coming from different parts of the room. I mix on a stereo, though.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks Ed :) Yes it is amazing considering I have never met or played with these guys in the same room...but we got a good system going for our recording process, and we are learning all the time. And to tell you the truth, I am basically flying in the dark with the mixing process, I pull on some levers and push some buttons, ask the guys what they think, do some adjustments and that's it. TG :)

sorry for the uber late response, thank you!

hey how are you Ed ?
:)
yes I'm glad about his offer .

nice to see you here and thank you very much for the kind words .

That is a really nice comment Ed
Always good to read some positive stuff about my vocal work, cause deep inside i am more a singer than a musician.
Good to hear that you could enjoy the song.

stay tuned
joe

Thanks man, yeah I did the vocals, I´ll upload the finished song when it´s done

Hi Ed, thanks for your comments. Danke is always good company, agreed. Both of you make some really cool loops. There were 2 off your loops if you listen carefully. keep up your great work. Thanks for taking the time.

Thank you Ed!

I actually blended many percussive 'tracks'. The main loop is http://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/76448/jazz-brushes-drum-loop-120-d-by-saintkuz-free-120bpm-jazz-drum-loop (I pasted wrong link yesterday) and it is a quality one. Everything else is simply myself playing directly on the keyboard (my favorite way of composing:) and this time I used only the Casio keyboard. I was never a huge fan of the sound bank of this particular one as for the main part it is just a digital piano with weighted keys that I am using for practising but now I see it has fine patches as well. So the bass drum and snare drum is just a Casio drumset, many other percussive 'ghosts' drum sounds in the background as well. I used different delays and manipulated the stereo spactrum of the track (all software effects as I do not have any real ones so far). I recorded some parts already wet effects (it is inspiring and positively affecting the character of actual playing sometimes) - some other tracks were moved and manipulated/effected afterwards. It is really hard to explain as I didn't use any strict recipe. As for the mid side processing I think the drum loop and the acapella http://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/8431/whisper-3-by-soleilxlune-1bpm-spoken-word-acapella were already somehow processed and very nicely effected: around the middle section of the song I only multitracked the vox and panned one track hard left, the second somewhere to the right side of the stereo 'edge'. Those 2 tracks are placed in different time areas on the composition timeline. That was my way to create even more 'space'. The actual 'wind' quality is only on the acapella but I used also one of the sax sounds of Casio - this one has fine 'breathing' qualities too.

A quickly improvised music this time than a concrete, solid composition. I am glad you liked what I did! Thanks a lot for very nice words and your support! It is much appreciated.

Hey Ed, yeah thats what i was thinking the sidechain gives some flow, some momentum but its my first time using it in this type of song so ill learn from this and progress in the next :)

"sounds good over my way"

Good, Good!
Thanks for the feedback Ed.
Always Appreciated bud :)

I have well learned that getting a fav from maestro Tumbleweed is not an easy achievement, so I can be sure and calm that I did ok this time ! It's my huge pleasure knowing that I was able to satisfy your high standards. It's very hard to repeat such level again and again, but at least I always try... However I'm sharing this fav with you cause what i did it could not have been done without you and your friendly support....Thank you so much my friend !:)

Apppreciation and respect____Orlando

Hey man thanks for stopping by and taking a listen. Good to see some of the originals still in the fold. This was a on and off 9 month project go get me back in the groove again. Got a couple more in the can so stay tuned. Again thanks for stopping by. Appreciated. FIlãofsoul

Thankfully this contest is not vote-based so there is no bias to more popular artists :) It's fair game for all at this point :)
