Tumbleweed

Thank you so much my friend for another supportive comment!
You can imagine how hungry of making music I was after that long blackout and I think now I'm much closer to the former strenghts with this composition. I'm glad you have so much positive to say about it....I always trust your opinion!:)
Also big thanks for the 'fav'...truly appreciated!

All the best_____Orlando

No problem.

Audio pops piss me off no end so I'm happy to point them out and have done so a good few times in Looperman reviews. They're really inexcusable (to me) in my music so I have to get rid of them as they're pure sonic errors.

I'm currently working on a dual female vocal track and have spent the last couple of mornings removing loads of audio pop edits. The embarrassing thing for me is that I made the track four years ago (just doing an update now) and I cannot work out why the hell I didn't remove all of them at the time. I can't believe I couldn't notice them and you know what I'm like for scrutinising details.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that sometimes people can miss these seemingly obvious errors in their own work so no one should fear pointing them out.

Interesting that Orlando pointed out those errors in your track (though without any time references) but he couldn't hear the audio pops that I pointed out in his most recent track. People have said to me before that it might be something to do with Looperman/web playback but I'm not so sure. I can only go on what I hear, especially when I play it back a few times and the pop is in exactly the same place as before.

Glad you got them fixed.

I never know quite what people will pick out from my tracks as interesting to them. Either favourite parts or areas for improvement. My stuff is so dense that there's so much that could be chosen though I don't mind hearing multiple times that a particular section was a highlight. Some bits just do stand out as being high points, as much as you try to raise the quality of everything else.

Yes, there are some decent grooves in the lead bass work though the anchoring stuff is all done by synth bass. Lead bass intentionally doesn't have any low end and is functioning much more as guitar in this. Unusual but it's the kind of thing Evisma does a lot, which is why this track is dedicated to him. Doesn't sound at all like his music but it's not supposed to - there's just the lead bass connection.

"have to admire your attention to detail"

That truly is how I make almost all my music as I don't plan this stuff out beforehand. I jam, see what I get and closely scrutinize and edit parts and then get inspired to add more and more.

Quite often, the attention to detail is me just fixing stuff that's not working properly. Then, in doing the fix, I come up with something creative and have to include that and that's one of a good few reasons for my tracks being so long. I just keep stretching out what I've already got. I love to try to get the most out of the parts I've recorded though often have to start a new track so that things don't end up being 20 mins or more.

"the outro leaves me with an oh yeah feeling"

That's a good way to sign off. I'm not entirely happy with the very final ending but it's a nice enough return to the start of it all so I guess it will do.

Thanks for the respect.

Hey man, thanks for the feedback :)

yeah the minimal approach seems to work well, its just a matter of making sure it doesnt sound too empty... but seems to work :P

"Its good listening over my way"

Awesome! im glad you enjoyed ed.
thanks for taking the time :)

Ed, How've you been, Mister? I hope everything is well up there.

If your son is into horror, then he'll probably recognize the vocal sample right away! Maybe even the opening sound effect, as well.

I think it's because of my love for horror since I was just a kid, too, that helps me capture that dark vibe.

"....holy shit...you`re good at it...."

Heheh. Thank you, sir. I take that as a great compliment!

Good to hear from you. I'll be heading over to your page to check out any tracks that I've missed while I've been out. I'm pretty far behind on a few different people.

Thanks again, Ed. It's always a pleasure.
Take care.
Aaron.

Thank you so much Ed!

Megapaul is probably one of the greatest and most inspiring discoveries of mine on this site as he produced a great amount of funky guitar loops.
So just trying out myself on the loops I downloaded when joining the site few months ago.

Sadly collab is not working anytime... creative process can't be rationally controlled I guess... I might be totally wrong though - correct me if so!

Thank you again for very kind feedback and making this one a favourite of you! I really appreciate that and am so happy you liked this production! Alex

Thank you a lot Ed! Firstly I much appreciate your kind words on the production itself: Yes! There is some electic Rhodes in here (from Roland synth) that I used to support the harmonic progression and to fill up the space at some places throughout this track.
I must say that I started only with drums this time ... When I recorded the solo using some nice flute-like lead I realized that this drum loop I was using takes too much place in the mix so finally I decided to remove it completely. That allowed me to add some more of pads and atmospheres and build much subtle/ambient-like composition...
As for the electric Rhodes I do not have any original one of course but I am very familiar with the mechanics of the real acoustic piano and action of church organ (I practiced also harpsichord for some time). The Roland Juno Di has very light action which in my opinion gives the possibility to play easier but from the other hand that's still just an emulation of the classic electric piano (which is basically an electro - acoustic instrument)... Still it sounds quite cool and keeping that original classic sound in mind I can record easier and faster now, not need to struggle with midi latency signal delay and adjusting midi notes anymore!
Maybe I will get the real Rhodes some day as well as I will probably continue progressively my current making-music in the future!

Thank you again for the time and giving me some great feedback! I really appreciate that.

Best to you, Alex

Thanks My Man...

I hate genre box's and everybody tries to put you in one, guess that's
the fate of mankind born free, into it all but spending your life being
placed in box's...Even the day you die, they've got one fitted for you
what a drag...Nothing but some Music to me...
That is a big task you've taken on, the time thing will always work
it's the styles, that make it hard to come together..But can be done..
Good Luck... :)

Thanks again Man for stopping in, glad you enjoyed the track...

Peace...TG.

Hey Ed,

Thanks for listening to the track I am glad that you liked it. I always appreciate your comments.

Hey Ed sorry for the late reply buddy,yeah mate I also like the actual beat side of HipHop and as far as I'm concerned it's all fertile territory rich for exploitation,even as I type the vocal side of this track is nearly finished thanks to Wordybum (who by the way has insane flow and is as sharp as a tack,supreme spit skills in evidence!...hell I'm picking up the lingo (haha)...if you can't beat em join em isn't strictly the case here,I've always liked spoken word material so I guess HipHop qualifies,though shortly I'm going to start messing with different time signatures and we'll see how they like that!..cheers mate..be on your page shortly....Dave :)

Thank you a lot Ed.

Basically I bought those microphones to record church organ but they have also a directional capsules so I can record other instruments as well, maybe I will try them for my old upright piano soon...
Still I need more time to get more seriously into the music and the proper recording process. For now my actual 'real life' is still far too demanding and sadly there's quite limited time for music.

Thanks again for the nice words and some interesting input on the equipment used here. As always it is much appreciated.

Best Greetings from Poland:) Alex

Hey ED

Mate thank you once more for checking out my works, seems to be getting mixed thoughts in reviews, Joe reviewed track and was happy enough and giving credit for the effort I have done, considering my first attempt into the genre, have to admit wasn't looking forward to Joe reviewing, knowing how much he is into the funk genre, so was blown away when he enjoyed the track, guessing it could be better, but not touching it again just yet, way things been here, I have killed more tracks then completed, so if going back to it again, could just completely stuff it up...So best leaving it just for now...Peace n Respect ED...Mos...

Yeah,

You know, most of my tracks are pure experimental. I just started to make cinematic scores this year so I have no experience at all. When I start to make a song I have thousand ideas and at the moment I simply let it be what comes in my mind in that moment.

Thank you for your comment :)

Greetings

Always a pleasure to get your comments, Ed. Thanks so much for taking the time and leaving your kind words.

Cheers,
Scott

thank you for all these compliments Ed it touches me!

Hiya Ed!!!

Thank you, Thank you! I appreciate the comments and support. I'll definitely let you know when we finish it.

Love & Light,

Mykael

Ed...My Man

I was trying to get 3 or 4 different sounds out of it, that made sense
in my head anyway... :)
The trick is to try and stay out of each others way, but somehow
come together... Keeping things simple..
The Drums are my Alesis SR18 and it just that I need to drop a few
things into the program add some dynamics...

Thanks for your solid comment, glad you enjoyed it...

Peace...TG.

Hi Tumbleweed,

Thanks a lot for your time & comment, I really appreciate it! I really love flutes like this in music, celtic style etc, I invested in a virtual flute instrument a while back but it really didn't sound to good in the end! ;( I'm very happy to have found a usable product now.

Are your celtic style music on Looperman? Send me a message I'd love to hear.
