Tumbleweed

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.

Ed,
TY my friend and mentor. Lyric writing for me is easy at times and other times can be a stressor. I really have to go to another place in my mind to get them to "come to me". I have been writing lyrics for over 37 years now and instead of settling in and just writing, my words are becoming more thoughtful towards the human element as I push myself.
Mark.

Hey Ed,

I agree...Patricia is a real talent and quite generous to allow us to use her tracks for our projects. Thanks for your kind words about our little group.

Ciao,
M.

My emotion is what carries me through most of my music. Im not the best singer, but ive got that emotion to convey. And I also agree that a mix of raw anger and singing makes a good mix. I do love the metal genre, but will throw my voice on to any haha. Its great to hear from you Tumbleweed. :) And I will check them out.

As usual Ed, your words are very appreciated (and you are very kind).
I have already some more key tracks from Pat: I hope to find some time soon to put together a new track. Unfortunately I am very busy, but his talent deserves the right amount of attention.
Thanks again!
Ciao, Domenico

Hey Ed,

Yeah, Kontakt is nice. I've only been using it a few weeks, but the VST instruments are more realistic than most. There are tons of instrument packs for it, and you can also use QLEW (Quantum Leap East West) with it. It really uses allot of memory, so if you do get it, make sure you have the memory for it.

Thanks for your kind word of my track. For my vocals I usually use Sonar's 'Boost11' unless it's really strong. Yes, Franco and I work on quite a few projects together, with my solo stuff and with Musicante. He has a nice feel for the music.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks Tumbleweed :) Coming from you it means a lot!
