You should be taking your music on tour guys...guess that would be a bit difficult...but you definitely sound like you should be playing at some expensive night club...very pro (as always)...everything playing the part perfectly...and I`m sitting here enjoying the result....another great track....Ed (PS:buy Aleck an extra drink...great organ)
Thanks so much for your kind words. I certainly wish we could tour, but the thousands of miles are a bit tough to overcome. Hell, I wish we could just be in the same room!
I agree about Aleck. When I heard the organ for the first time I was blown away. I hope he'll continue work with us.
Hey Elena...you were wondering about the drums....they are right on...I spend more time trying to find the right drums than anything else (so I am not a got source of advice)..I use loops for drums about 90% of the time and seldom get what I really want....everything seems to fit just right in this one...so your first rock post is all good...keep doing it your own way...it just keeps getting better..maybe you will get some more ideas from more of our Loopefriends too..Ed
I`m just listening on my PC speakers this afternoon mpoppitt...but as far as I can tell the mix sounds nice and clean and nice to hear all the dynamics intact...sounds good to me...Ed
Spiv...you are your own brand I think..so you can post under anything you like & I`ll still admire the creativity...I dont have the knowledge to give you useful observations on the genre or synths ...and I dont know anyone that is better informed and more capable in both than yourself anyway...so I just listen & enjoy the trip.........right on...Ed
Hey Ed, thank you for your listen and the kind comment! I'm happy that you enjoyed the trip! Your words make me happy. I'm no expert, but I'm finally feeling some understanding of what goes on inside the circuits I build, and that feels good. I'm in the middle of updating this song, taking the reactions I received here into account. I have recorded the bass part with a new modular patch; better tuned and more bass. Weakened and killed the detune on the Korg DW synth. Building up some live instrument recordings and stuff. Got all the lyrics written. Haven't advanced a song after release like this for while. Thank you for listening my friend!
I am familiar with Stacy`s a capella Domenico...thoughtful instrument choices and composing Domenica..carry just the right knd of emotion to compliment the vocal (which is really well done)..nice job onthe guitar and bass....No surprise...I always know I will be listening to some enjoyable music and big talent when I stop over at your place....another good one...Ed
Thanks for the kind words Ed: I am kind of "ashamed" because my guitar playing is really minimalist compared to yours. And for this song I was using a "Smith'ish" approach to guitar (I know, he is not what we can define a guitar hero but I like his music a lot).
Take care, Domenico
Hi X...any time I do anything that is a bit mellow I just post it as Chillout...never even heard of it till I found Looperman...so I dont know much either...But...I know what I like...and you`ve got something really good going here....I`m hinestly not sure I would add or change anything..the minimal approach really lets the individual instrument parts do there thing...and you have them all nicely EQd and placed....Go with what feels right..and if that means you cross genres or drift between them just go with the flow....there are no coincidences...your creativity will just keep growing along with your diversity.....well done...Ed
Our friend Bear is always a great source of inspiration...nice patient build in this one..lots of time for those warm sounds to wrap themselves around the mind...just a good relaxing trip...it was a pleasure to listen doudei...well done...Ed
geez Patricia...I must have been in hibernation to have missed this one earlier...this is indeed special....(and thats not a surprise to me)....just an absolutely enjoyable piece of music...a big well done to both you and Baggadub....more please......Ed
Got it to play this time Alex...glad I did...I think this is one of your best...really nice smooooth R&B flavour ...the music mix is really well done...the right panned vocal is not really a big distraction as it only involves a small part of the mix....do not worry too much about the technical things (they will come with experience)...but there should be a pan control on each of your tracks and it is just a matter of moving the one with the vocal on it to the centre position (or close).....well done....this is a very good piece of music.....Ed
Thank you again Ed. Actually I have to say that I adjusted very carefully the panning of each separated track in here, I always pay much attention to the placement of instruments in the mix. No difference this time, I decided to leave the vocals as they are though. For me they sound ok like this. Also my tracks are not mastered to the modern standards as I do not make commercial music at all. Therefore the only thing to care about is the clarity of the arrangement and final mix. But thanks for pointing all that anyway and some nice words. Basically this is only a sketch based on the short guitar idea sent to me by ferryterry but we want to make another version soon. So I won't be reworking this version here anymore.
Thanks again for reviewing my track - it is much appreciated. Best to you, Alex
the production sounds good....I think the way you compose with the backing warpped around the piano prog gets it into that pop cross-over you were going for Steve...you already know I`m not a conniseur of the genre but its always a pleasure to stop over here and admire the way you take hip hop to a level that was likely never considered in the old days...and you do it well...always good listening....Ed
Hi vivk...first of all Welcome To The Loop...its great to have an artist with your knowledge and obvious talent around the place.....there is no shortage of good musical company and the suscribers are a really diverse lot that seem to live in peace (for the most part) with one another HaHa....This is the kind of music that could wash away the cares of a long day....very mellow...and enjoyable easy listening....well done to you....keep on.....Ed
(PS: you should check off the "featured" box in the upload form..that way it will bounce to the first pages when you comment on other peoples tracks...this deserves a lot more listeners)
yes ...it is a bit dark in both music and song Joe...but you have accomplished a lot with just one vst and it follows your intentions well...good job....Ed
That was right the point i try to go to. Make a track with just 1 vst and let it sound mostly so that it fits to the idea behind.
Nice that you think it works in a way.
-When i started making music (at least 35 years ago) we did all our music just with 1 cheap yamaha keyboard (i forgot the name of it, but it was a mini key one, with a very easy ADSR thing) and it works well) So i think it isn“t to hard to do a track just with just 1 vst ......
You`ve got the whole vibe down to a T Lee.....and I know you have been a bit self-critical at times about the vocal...but man...it totally fits the bill....Lee: its about the way the voice & the delivery fits the music (I have always felt that) more so than some perfect operatic abilities.....congrats my friend...this is friggin great in this ol boys opinion...fantastic job on the lyrics...and the accompaniament follows the Floyd concepp with the chord progs.......bravo.....we`ll do another one some time this year if I have anything to do with it....just gotta find some time over here at my place later on.....Ed
well...I always know its going to be good when I hit play on this band M...and I am never wrong....interesting combination with the two very different voices (I have an R&B track using Farisha`s pella but have never posted it)...this is, as always top class music performed by top class musicians...always an enjoyable listen...Ed
I`ve been listening to several of your tracks on my MP3 player the last while Steve (Dust & Bones, Solitare, Forgetting You)...so just had to stop by & see/hear what you`ve been up to lately...Glad I did...guess I somehow missed this one ...Must say you use some of the most tasty chord progs I ever hear in much of your music...Lots of power in this one, but you always seem to get a great combination of instrument clarity, catchy melodies and beautiful clean mixes...Great job by you and Behnam on this one....You have a big fan up this side of the planet....keep on & I`ll keep tuning in.....Ed
Nice to see this one getting some attention TG...I know I commented before...but I was thinking that all that snow & winter storms you guys have been getting down your way must be keeping a lot of folks homebound...good time to do some more music...I have a brother down in your Prov.and I think his place is pretty much burried......I would help you shovel, but my chiropractor is already getting rich by my just trying to keep the driveway clear here...keep on & all the best...Ed
Yep..been digging for days now, that's just around the house
drifts up over, all the windows and doors...MF'er...
Driveway my boy comes by with his Tractor Blower, 300ft driveway
wouldn't even think of doing that...
But he can't get close to the house, wish he could...
Got a few big young guys, down the road they got girls friends
and need money, if we get anymore they'll have the money... :-)
Then your brother knows how I feel...Cause I feel his pain..
very cool domr...very nice stereo effect on the organ..I have never done a raggae track myself althought I have listened to several raggae songs (Bob Marley and others ) that I like...this is very well done...It often seems like a happy music genre to me...this is a nice happy listening piece of music...we could use more of that....good job.....Ed
I think you were right to just do your own thing on this one Dave...the original Right has been done...but if you can take the concept or some of the musical/beat ideas and go your own way, you usually end up with something more unique (& its a more creative approach)...the production sounds fine to me...the backing sounds could liukely be widened more and maybe a little more extreme panning/placement on the non lead stuff/percussion etc...but you haven`t squashed it to death & have kept the dynamics intact with a reasonable amount of power...There are lots of producers around here who know a lot more about the genre that I do so no shortage of help if you are looking for some input......well done...keep doing it....Ed
its got lots of potential Ratsouk...Nice job on the vocal(s) and I enjoyed what you have so far just as it is...but look forward to hearing the final (its gotta be good)...hope you can take it where you want....nicely done...Ed
i'm good at ideas and vocals - but - unfortunately - have problems in carryind the project to a final state. May be this one will stay as it is - unfinished.( I can compose and even play the arrangement - but I can't master and all that
