Compliments on the fine production aldjay. Very professional sounding track....really well done and much enjoyed...welcome to Looperman. With your talent I am sure you will find many music friends here....Ed
nice bouncy, spirit-lifting tune defect77...the lead bits help with the variation as it otherwise gets a bit repetative with the same key progression all the way through...sounds good....keep on...Ed
Hey Traz...first I have to compliment you on the production..it has quite heavy limiting but you have managed to keep the dynamics and balance good...you have a lot of fine talent represented in this one...and you did a super job of pulling a lot of different ideas into a mix that holds a nice vibe all the way...I enjoyed this one..Traz.I think I like that last section the best.....right on....Ed
Thank you! However, there is only two sharply different styles on the track as oxymoron, with some short jazzy transition ... Both of them are really homogeneous in itself, were not so tough to mix them like this.
considering your objective of conveying that marsh picture I think you have the vibe pretty much nailed Dan...Its a soundscape...mind pictures kind of musical piece so I think each listener will hear their own thought variation on it...Maybe with the marsh dance aspect in mind it could flow into a gentle water rhythm section...I can imagine it being fun to create from a picture concept...very nicely done by the way...will try to check back & hear where you head with it....cheers...Ed
I really like Brado`s music mix...but the hard limiting knocks out most of the dynamics and brings everything up to a similar level and blurrs the vocal...I see you already have some feedback on the pitch issues...I think you have the song and the rest of the ingredients Evedye..just a matter of spending some time on getting everything to work together...keep on doing it.....Ed
well...you`re doing damn good for just starting to learn piano Gnasty...I have been trying to teach myself a bit more on the keys for a while but I have a long way to go unless I stick with the simple stuff...I don`t listen to much hip hop but gotta say this is a melodic style that sounds good to me...good job man...keep on...Ed
Thanks for the kind words! I am not just starting from scratch, I picked up a Chords chart from a music store (http://www.walrusproductions.com/images/pianochordsmed.jpg) and just went from there. I still couldn't play a single chord without looking it up, but baby steps, right? Keep trying and I'm sure you'll be playing in no time :) good luck with the piano!
You will get better-informed comments from others andorandor as its not like anything I have ever done....but its obviously well done with a lot of creativity....keep on...Ed
If this one doesn`t move you you are not moveable..ha...funk with power...does remind me a bit of Simply Red when the piano parts kick in but its got more power...great big pads & the guitar really adds some cool icing...super bit of work Rhodesy...really enjoyed the listen....Ed
Good for you Brado...nothing I like better that listening to the real stuff (the production stuff will get there when you get your rig together)...its a good song and nicely delivered. I really like acoustic accompaniment myself but I can hear lots of potential for a variety of instrument/ accompaniment approaches on this one..that should be an advantage when you get it catalogued...You sing well, so a decent mic will make a big difference (in terms of quality for money I have settled on Rode mics the last couple of purchases but there are some great mid priced ones now)...anyway...well done to you....enjoyed it...keep doing it....Ed
Thanks Ed! I still have all my old equipment (AKG C214 mic and the laptop, pre-amps and instruments), just no software :) No worries, quality will return once I get PT12!
love that guitar domr...very nice tone and touch...and the strings...I do like the vocal too, it blends nicely with the orchestral parts....the piano part provides good variation...enjoyed the listen...well done...Ed
There is a house in my neighbourhood for sale in case a drummer by the name of Scott would like to move up this way...there would be room for the rest of the band too...haha...always top notch music and production...a pleasure to listen too..the horns do take this one in a bit of a jazz direction with the swing beat..its good in any genre..I`m diggin it....well done...again (I think Franco is a bit of a musical genius)...Ed
You gave Scott a nice compliment with a chuckle. He said if he were to move there, you'd be the first person he'd look up for a great jam session. I agree, Franco is a musical genius. He is composer of most of our tracks.
Yeah, this one was a bit tricky to put a genre to, but thought 'rock' might be a good catch-all.
Anyway, we all appreciate your ear and for taking the time to leave your kind words.
wow...what a nice surprise to log in and discover this one after being away a while...,I am honoured Orlando my friend...but you give me too much credit...although I do congratulate myself for knowing what a unique talent I had the opportunity to meet along the music road....yes, a nice subtle hint of that Celtic vibe (like a faint drone of the pipes on a far away hill)...a most enjoyable journey that evolves along its part through the mists of time, delivered with your always special signature and pristene production...keep that violin tuned up...it is a special instrument in your hands...(especially in that little outro part)....Thank you Orlando...a very special track indeed...Ed
This is the kind of music I like to listen to much of the time but usually have difficulty finding....quality all the way Dave..the rich sounds wrap very nicely around the bass & flow with the arrangement...is that an alto sax I hear in there (I`m listening with my old Sony MDV600 cans that are great for4 checking highs but ##### on the low end understatement)...music for thinking musicians...always the best stuff over here at your place...Ed
Hey Ed, thanks buddy! no alto on this track, though there is some frequency chatter and distortion from the background electronic track that I made so that would go along way in explaining it. It's a weird thing but I have become addicted to my precision bass these days (haven't touched the jazz in weeks) and now I'm into playing it with a foam mute..I spurned it as a kid go figure! lol...thanks again for your kind words mate your opinion means a lot to me. cheers Dave :)
Good for you defect77...I`m self taught on keys...didn`t start till after band days & I needed something to get a bit more variety into my musical efforts...just keep at it...its actually not very difficult especially when you already have the guitar music background....this is a nice bouncy uplifting kind of tune...good easy listening that leaves you with a smile...as mentioned, it would likely benefit from a bit of a change up or a couple of key changes around mid stream....or maybe just a few lead lines from a different instrument...in any case, its sounding good....well done...Ed
I`m glad I was reminded to stop by your place for a listen Brado...there is always something that is so genuine about your music..and the is special ..I would absolutely rather listen to this kind of music (even if it still needs a vocal or something for the melody bit) that the canned stuff my radio plays..I can hear why you have an amazing number of listens, downloads, favs etc...it really does leave those of us with any kind of musical inclination with the feeling "Man ...i could do something to this"....great bit of work my friend...and I`m faving it even if you feel its not finished..I see you allow downloads so I`ll def be doing that too...might be fun to try play some old Tumbleweed guitar with just for fun.....keep on...you do it well...Ed
Franco is sounding smooth tonight...I should be having a glass of wine with this one..(But I`m just having one of the local barley beverdiges for now)...you guys always get greeat sax in there...I like the way you do drums Scott..stay so well in the pocket with just the right little embellishments (I dislike the over-playing drum demos that sometimes accompany less tasty mixes)...Always good listening...always leaves me with the impression that this is a pro bunch of players (and I know I`m repeating myself)...great job guys....Ed
It's always great to hear from you, Ed. We all appreciate your compliments and kind word. It really means alot coming from a fine musician like yourself.
I like it a lot T.A...sometimes the best things are those that are not overcomplicated by all the clutter we have at our disposal...that piano is superb...and a very nice/fitting jobon the vocals...with the wee touch of backing pads...about perfect to my mind...and I enjoyed the listen...(something that seldom occurs if I turn on my radio)...great job...definite fav..long enough to leave you waiting for more....
Ed
I found myself over-thinking everything, even outside my music. So I thought it was time to do something simple and easy on the ears. Glad you enjoyed it.
Its a happy track MG...flows along with a bouncy beat and those lighter uplifting sounds make a cool little melody...yes....I bet your girl liked this one....good job....Ed
I`m never sure how to describe your music Spiv...its definitely unique, original and always creative...and thats not something we expect from commercial sources any more..but then your instruments themselves often sound unique and you have that mad skill in the way you are able to use them...this mix seems a bit minimal, yet it has everything it needs...but most importantly its just good listening and carries some kind of feel good familiarity...probably PJB`s description fits it best....well done Spiv...keep on....Ed
Thanks for your continued support Ed! I think the idea that I'm not a commercial source makes a big difference. I react badly when money and art are co-mingled sometimes! This is quite sample based, but a lot of the samples were of instruments I built or modified. I've been doing a lot of work in my temporary second studio in the kitchen upstairs, and I don't have all of my instruments up there. Soon the hardwood floors will be done for the lab and studio B, so I can move a few instruments in there... and free up some space in my main studio, as it's getting mind blowing at the moment. I found ti pretty minimal as well, but groovy and deep enough to wok. I really appreciate you taking a listen!
Oh yeah...that guitar lick does stick in the head...classic kind of rock lick I recall well from days gone by...I really like this one Kyle..Your vocal is, as always, top notch and I definitely like that country-rock accompaniment you`ve got going...I`m just using some old Sony MDV600 cans & they are terrible on the low end (great for checking highs) so the bass sounds fine...if you need to unmuddy it a bit just try scooping our between 200-400 and bump it a tiny bit at 80...great track Kyle...rea;;y did enjoy it....Ed.
that organ around 1:08 is great stuff...genre doesn`t matter...its uniquely creative music lechina..and thats a good thing when so much of what we hear on this side of the planet is canned crap...its upbeat..bouncy...dancing music..its well produced...and it leaves you with a smile...well done...Ed
Thank you so much my old friend Tumbleweed for the kind words.
Really appreciated.Funny and sadly I tried to get it to radio stations,but they weren't interested for God knows what.Anyway thanks buddy for the listen and comment
