Tumbleweed

Aptly titled...a place of safety...now abandoned to its quietness...a touch of meloncholy...peace....you paint the picture perfectly with your patient approach to composition that evolves along its way...and always a most enjoyable listen over here...well done (as always) Orlando...Ed

I can hear why you would want to keep this one Larry...some really rich sounds..and yes..its is, as has been mentioned a bit too repetitive & maybe that what bored you about it (I hit the delete button a lot myself as I get P`d off at my efforts)...but its good listening & has lots of potential....Why not try a break or 2 after 16 bars or so...maybe drop the beat & put it some subtle synth Or string pads or sweeps...then pick it up again with a slightly different kit, etc...most every tune needs a break or a bridge to get a bit if structure/interest into the listen...keep doing your thing Larry...and hope you have a great musical year ahead...Ed

Last halloween my Grandson (9) got one of those dollar store :Insane Asylum" signs & posted it on my studio wall...most of the people whose music I like are eejits (Irish expression)...and I am happy to be included...this is not quite as insane as I had thought it might be...hell, it almost sounds like normal-good (is there a genre for that)....Cheers Steve...always enjoy listening...Ed

If this doesn`t get the parts moving they are not movable....great transition at 0:30...I must have been really slacking (I was ) to have missed this one earlier...the vocal is top notch....big power accompaniment...Dont know what you ended up doing with this one midiman...but it should be on my radio...its the best thing I have listened to in a long time..no #####...makes me want to break out of my customary mellow mode & make some noise.....standing ovation up here at my place...I`m going to have a drink now....definite fav....bravo boys & girls...Ed

Thank you Orlando for always taking the music to another level...I count your good musical company & friendship among this years blessings...Ed

This is probably the most traditional Country song I have heard you do Kyle...and you have done an exceptional job of it....its got the story,,...perfect accompaniment (dont add too much to it...but I can hear the room some some strings and maybe a more prominent bass part)..I guess the Loop doesn`t have a lot of country...but this is just a good song, exceptionally well done in any genre..a tip of the hat to you....Check out a site called SongRamp..a lot of country & gospel music and an active songwriters forum...I posted a couple of my instrumental tunes on their free version a while back but realized that aside from the friendships it was not really the place for an old instrumental guy...You have a good song going Kyle and its worth doing whatever you can to take it to the level you want and getting it out there...It would fit right in the "Country" charts....great job...keep on....Ed

I spent a lot of the 80s in airports & hotels...and most of those hotels had some kind of club downstairs where you could have a listen for a while before cashing the day in...definitely reminded of the vibe...I like that its a nice uplifting kind of little melody with the high synth lead & great fat analog bass lines..addicting kind of beat...I could listen to this for a long time...you`ve outdone yourself (again)....keep on...you just keep getting better....Ed

definitely different Modex...and thats usually a good thing...I would pull the snare sound in that outro part back just a bit...see a few comments on the bass & kick..I think the kick is on the money but maybe scoop out a bit around 200 hz on the bass & bump it up at 80 hz or so & pull it back a couple of dBs....overall its a creative approach...good for you...ed

you can count me among those who noticed the bass work GO...nice slow attack with the pads and then a bit moe initial bite where appropriate...nice job on the composition and you have certainly arranged it to hold interest while maintaining the theme all the way...nice clean production...all round just a really well done piece of music...you have every right to be proud of this one...a big well done to you and SwishFish....Ed

I never originally thought of those older games as having a musical influence...but I have heard more than a few that picked up on the vibe/concept ...and like this one...have taken it to a whole new level...much more musical and much more enjoyable listen than those original little tunes...you do it well Anders...and you are due for a new one.....realy great job on this one.....Ed...PS: If I tried to sing on it they would kick us both off Looperman..haha....

definitely very chill...nice Sunday afternoon listen over my way...Ed

I see I`m late catching up with this one lechina...it does have a nice poppy vibe..Laurie`s vocal sounds good...nice bouncy happy tune...and we could always use more of that....well done...Ed

Big contrast between the intro section and the part with the guitar & piano (I like it)...a unique combination of electronic & acoustic parts ( really like the acoustic parts in particular)...different in a good way...It is a nice uplifting bouncy kind of mix that leaves you with a smile....well done MG.....Ed

I feel like I should be sitting at a table somewhere not too far from the stage...sipping on an expensive wine and waiting for my serving of steak diane.....haha...I`ve said it before..you guys have a plugged band...all the best talent going...and the music that only real players can make...salute....Ed

plain is often a good thing...its states its case clearly..this may sound weird Larry, but I would leave out that little click-snare or maybe replace it with something subtle with a bit more body (lower frequencies)..keep in mind you are hearing this from an old guy whose first exposure to R&B goes way back to the originals...but, as you say, the vocal is the star and that may change the whole perspective..Its different in a really good way..it leaves all kinds of options open for the vocalist and has unique instrumentation that should really draw attention...I really enjoy the kind of creativity you put into your musical ideas Larry...and that always makes for enjoyable listening....right on....Ed

Should fit right into today`s music scene samran...hope you find the vocal you want....Ed

Sounds like you did this one the way I have done many in times past T.A...but even so its great therapy to be able to find a bit of music time out to replenish the mind & soul....Its a perfect album closer...makes me think..O.K.,,,just do a bit more...I really like it (seriously)..David Gilmour`s new album uses a similar approach...a short intro track called 5:00a.m....and a final track called "And Then"..that carries the same tune/theme forward...but, aside from all that..its just really well done....if you did the vocal (and I assume you did) take an extra bow...its really well done...Keep that whole album concept in mind and just do it...any what does it matter if it takes months...Its the kind of music that I can listen to for the rest of the night and its done with talent and feeling.....well done...Ed

That automatic drummer feature sounds damn good...better than anything I have been coming up with lately...does have a cinematic vibe Dave..kind of mind picture-painting music..a good moving along base for what ever you may choose to add, although it stands well as just a listening mix as it is...good job...Ed

I`ll have to take your word for genre C.M..as I`m not much for genre knowledge myself....big mix and very loud (think you have a bit of distortion there...quite noticeable at the intro in particular)...on the other hand its creative stuff (unlike a lot of what our radios play) and the technical stuff is easy to fix..lots of power....good job....keep on....Ed

Well S.J....you did a seriously good job of pulling this all together...like the first half best I think...has a bit of R&B flavour but I`m really impressed with how you brought so many elements into the kix and still made them all not only very coherent in it but also how they sit so clearly in quite a big mix...this is very cool...enjoyed it....well done...Ed

This has a nice kind of light and smooth flow to it Larry...lots of those higher frequency kind of sounds that add convey a good feeling...it could use a nice fat bass to really hit its R&B stride...its good listening but if you want to kick it up a big notch maybe think about a key change (or 2) around the middle to last 3rd just to hold the interest...Its in C and D minor all the way so you could bump it over to G or A etc and make it cook good...maybe a little change in the drums where you make the key change ...definitely keep it going...it has an uplifting kind of vibe and we could all use more of that....right on...Ed

The test of a musicians talent I think is to play his/her solo instrument and leave the listeners enjoying what they just heard with out the adornment of all else that may be added....I enjoyed this one BradoSanz.....I`m guessing it will be even better when you add you vocal...but its good now...Ed

I`m diggin this one big time Kyle...it has a nice loose live feel...and I think that comes from just playing & singing the way you do....actually the production is pretty well done...(I`m listening on my studio headphones ..ATM-M50s)...nice job on the lyrics...I like the deep bass (I go for it often) so don`t tame it too much..You have a style I always enjoy.....well done...hope all is well down your way....Ed

Stop saying its not good NJNS....music is how many of us express what we feel and its the emotion that matters...not the technical stuff...I don`t know or care much about genres but this sounds more like a trance mix to me...If you don`t mind a suggestion...don`t limit the mix so hard..it works o.k. in electronica I guess but it takes out and squashes to death a lot of the dynamics in the sounds...louder is not better....Just use soft limiting & let the music speak...You are really doing well...I think each of your mixes keep getting better...keep on doing it..thats how we all learn.....A tip of the hat to you my young friend.....all the best...Ed

Its in C# minor SubChief...nice chunky rhythm..should be inviting to a rock vocalist....sounds good...Ed
