Love that fat-soft kick hitting way down fequencies X (did you layer a quiet sub-bass in there)...the mix does sound simple but your care in its composition and production are obvious...the genre really benefits from the way you have preserved all those subtle dynamics in the final mix....a big well done to you.....Ed

You are right Liam...this mix has everything it needs to paint the musical picture...that bass kick in around 1:20 is great...fills that nice deep frequency perfectly...you are great musical company with Orlando....well done....much enjoyed...Ed

funny all the places that musical inspiration can come from...I suppose my enjoyment of this one results at least in part by the fact that nature, atmospheres, feelings, places tend to influence some of what I try to do myself...it paints the picture you describe very nicely Dan...nice clean mix...looks like Spiv has some further contributions to make so hope to get back for a listen later....very nicely done....keep on....Ed

well Domenico...I had to stop back here and give you hell (HaHa)...you are being way to hard on yourself man...I think the bass goes just fine with this one...its not too low and I think you have gotten rid of any of those mud frequencies between 2 & 400...I find I often boost the bass a bit around 80 Hz where it really seems to hit the big lows nicely...and the vocal is good...I personally like to hear a little warmth in the vocal especially in a mix like this where it smooths out nicely.....anyway....give yourself a pat on the back my friend...it sounds good and so do you (isn`t it funny how most of us don`t like the sound of our own voices...I wouldn`t dare sing myself).........Keep on doing it......Ed

You`ve got a ton of funk going on here clindsay....big bouncy mix that leaves bo doubt about the genre..kind of a combination of the classic funk sounds with a more modern appraoch to the vox bits and drops...big fun listen too....way to go....Ed

I can hear that you must have put a lot of thought and work into this mix Domenico...its really good...very nice contrast and yet in sync with the two voices...You really did a great job on this one (as usual)..The mix sounds good......Ed...(PS..human hearing doesn`t on average go below 30hz when its petfect...you can cut up to 40-50 & likely not hear the different except the amount of air the speakers move),,,

How good to see/hear a new post from you Carole...I am a bit late finding this one I see...but I had stopped by your place several times in the past hoping to hear something from you...perhaps I repeat myself but you have a fantastic voice and such expressive delivery...and your versatility shows in this one again....Like it just the way it is......It is a bit of an unusual combination but that is the kind of thing that makes it creative and your talent makes it good listening too....well done....Ed..(PS: I had a track posted using some of your acapellas until I started reducing the numver of posts over on my page....not sure if you had a listen but would be happy to send you a copy of the mix if you like...still have your contact info from last year )

ah yes...originally an old Percy Faith orchestra number I think?...you really have put a great jazzy spin on the theme (that low-tuned guitar is great stuff)...being an old guy who cut his youthful guitar teeth on instrumental tunes by the likes of The Ventures and similar groups you know I am no stranger to this one...This one would have been a hit on my radio any decade Pat...some of those old songs that stick in your head over the years never really get old...we just change the way we hear them...a wonderful tribute and I can tell you did this one with a lot of thought and patience and I hear the careful work you did on the details...sorry for your loss my friend...it is part of the journey that those of us fortunate enough to stick around for enough years have to experiance...and honour....well done.....Ed

Bravo ER...I have been recording acoustic guitar for a long time and still find it a challenge ...nice tone and placement here...this is really well done...so is everything about it...a good song...well written and delivered with just the right accompaniament to make it shine... well done...& enjoyed the listen over my way....Ed

just keep playing that Tele, Strat & P bass TG...and I will keep tuning in...they provide you with a great voice the way you use them...I think I last did vocals in youthful band days (assisted by a couple of brews) but discovered that I had neither the voice or confidence to do what I wanted....This is finkin good listening my friend.....loved it....keep em coming.......Ed

The new you sound really good ladyinred...enjoyed the listen Elena...I am listening with a sub-whoofer so notice the the bass would maybe benefit from a little narrowing of the EQ...maybe a vut of anything below 50-60hz and a scoop out ion that low mid part between 200-400 hz or so that always seems to be the place where the mud is a bit....not intended as a criticism Elena...really liked flow, chord progs/arp and the way the mix kind of evolves and carries you along.........Ed

You have a great voice Amilad....this is really well done...I do not understand the words....but I understand the enjoyment of listening....bravo.....Ed

Hi Marzipan...I think crucethus makes some really good points that will help you keep getting better...but I must say that you are off to a fine start...I could have never have done this the first time I produced a track...so please keep at it...you already know that music is a wonderful companion in life no matter whether you do it as a hobby or profesionally....and piano is a very expressive instrument that just fits so many musical genres....good for you..and thank you for sharing...Ed

whatever it was you did worked a treat Mark...nice production values here...vocal exactly where it should be to my tastes...that sax around 2:30 is great...bit of a jazzy/late night vibe...it seemed like a fast 5 min listen so you had to nail the composition/arrangement really well...neat little guitar bits by the way (nice contrast with the horns & vox)....This is top notch mate...you can out this one on premanent file now.,,,its done...& done really well.....Good to see you found a little time to stop back around the place...really enjoyed this one....Ed

well Riest...this one was a really nice Sunday evening listen over my way...like the way you varied the vocal from the ambient intro to the more up front sound when the mix hits its stride...(Marianna has a bit of the Sade vibe to her songing in this one...great stuff)...tasteful, minimal accompaniament, and that always seems to be a good thing for this style...bravo...you really did an excellent job on this one....Ed

hey Mark....sorry...forgot to reply to your comments on adding an ending part,,,,my head has moved on to other things...but if you are inclined to add a synth melody bit please feel free....If you want the rhythm backing I can render off a couple of the chorus guitar parts etc for backing if you want....glad you liked it enough to feel inclined to keep it rolling....Ed

nice ambience....the percussion really takes it in a different direction (in a very good way)...a bit of jungle...a good helping of natural soundtracky kind of feel....the processed/robotic kind of vocal bit seems unusual...some more of those vocal bits by Janis71 would really seem more in order (but I`m biased...she has such a great voice)...very interesting mix...and thats always good to be able to say when the airwaves are so full of canned stuff....well done Dan.......Ed

Glad to see/hear a new one from you Kyle...there is just something about the traditional instruments tastefully played that can`t be duplicated any other way...a well written song...delivered with feeling and talent and nicely produced (sounds really good on my headphones)...doesn`t get better than that....busy isn`t always a bad thing...but glad you can still find the time for the music...it will always be there for you when you catch up with it....bravo....well done Kyle....Ed

Hey Musicante....no fair,,,you have a plugged line-up again...haha...another fine bit of work and cool intro, it takes on a nice flowing live feel when the band just connect with each other...knew it would be good when I read your description...I was right again...enjoyed this one guys....Ed

o.k. boys...this one goes to the top of my charts....Mark, did you tame that LP a bit to get that nice warm singy stuff going on....contrasts perfectly with the rhythn parts...Great work (as always...on the vocal too)..I was just about to pack it in for the night when I caught up with this one....great way to end the day....and a great bit of music from 2 accomplished musicians........Ed

Bravo...this is how it should be done more often dgalantic...just the key instruments....the subtle melody that lets the mind easly absorb the whole thing...very precise and well chosen instrumentation,,...must say I enjoyed this one....visit thepart of your creative mind that did this one often & do more...its fav.....Ed

I dont know anything about Trap music arashinghbagri....but I know this is a very nice clean mix...all instruments produced clearly...and created with a good knowledge ...quite short...but well done....Keep doing your music......Ed

Any time I hear that MrFunktastic style I`m totally in the groove...The man is a big talent and a most generous friend with sharing the sound....I have to think Joe would like this one FR...its good ...some of those transitions are more like your own style (as it should be) but you def got the funk going on here...you just can`t sit still when this is going on...great job...and a fine tribute to one of our finest friends....Ed

I had logged out & was calling it a night when I happened to hit play on this one....just had to log back in to leave you a big well done Riest...I`m listening on headphones and the mix sounds good to me...nice and clean with all the dynamics (& not limited to death)....really a catchy subtle little melody...really nice choice of sounds and you kept it minimal enough so that everything pays its part well....Its good listening for my tastes...nice way to end the day for me....thanks......Ed

geez...DeLaBeatz....maybe you`ve discovered the way to get the message out...if this doesn`t get attention its gonna be hard to try and motive the bunch....creative stuff here...really like the idea of bringing in the different instrumentation...that big orchestra works great & contrasts with the synth line...takes it out of the usual...ending was a bit sudden..but I enjoyed this one....Ed
