One instrument...a melody played with feeling....what better way to let the music speak....and a perfect lullaby...if you just let that very last note hold by itself for a couple of seconds the ending would be perfect too Cindy...enjoyed this one....very relaxing and very honest music.....well done....Ed

I think you are off to a really good start GC...I haven`t listened to a lot of D&B but when I do I often find some really rich sounds behind the beat in a lot of the mixes..nice width in the backing..you might be able to get a bit more power in the drums with fairly fast attack, quick release compressor...I would even try just a touch of mid-side processing on them (I know that is a bit unusual)...Nugen makes a Stereoizer vst with a drum kit preset (very subtle) that really works great...I use the free version that came with Computer Music Mag a couple of years ago...try a bit more 80hz on your bass eq..and scoop out a little more between 200-400..You have room for a bit more limiting if you want when you get it finalized... just a couple of very minor suggestions GC & they may not help as I expect you already have a good knowledge of where you are at.....you have a really good mix on the go..and I sure am no expert when it comes to mixing most of the electronic genres....You have set yourself some high goals...but give it time...and get your reading from reputable sources ....keep on man......Ed

Well...if you combine the imaginations & talent of the participants in this one you just gotta come up with something special....I was appreciating the creativity while listening & sitting here with a smile after...Happy Halloween.Y`all......great stuff.......Ed

With all the instrumentation choices we have now and the unlimited track numbers provide its always tempting (for me anyway) to add something more..I sometimes find it useful to go back later and question how each part contributes to the mix...and delete any that do not....I really like this one the way it is Alex...there is enough room to add more (particularly in the lower-mid frequencies) and that may be good too..there is nothing against having some fun with our music......at present each parts sits nice and clearly in the mix and it still carries a fairly minimalist vibe...Sounds good to me....well done guys.....Ed

good for you RealProblemShuckers...very cool & easy listening chill you have going on here...the crossover points on some of the looops are a bit noticible ( intro in particular)...but the music overcomes that little issue...enjoyed this one...keep on my young friend...a big well done to you...Ed

you have listened to my noises Apeiceoftofu...so you know that I`m not well informed on some of the electronic genres..that doesn`t mean I dont listen...and I sure can appreciate music in most genres when it is well done...this is well done man....big power...nice clean pumping mix that still retains all the dynamics of the instruments....personally I like the edgier lead arp as it contrasts nicely with the smoothness of the bass & beat...this one is up there with the best of them..its a bit addicting....a big well done to you....even an old guitar guy likes it a lot....Ed

really catchy groove Killumineye...for some reason it puts me in mind of some of the r&b, funk from the 70s...as our friend Bear mentioned...lots of room for additions if you decided on anything further...its always a temptation for fellow musicians when they hear a good groove & it leaves room for their musical imaginations to add something...the minimal approach works fine...it lives in its own groove nicely....well done...Ed

You just cant go wrong when you plug in with the Bear on music Mark...really good job (as usual) on the vocal...and I just have to compliment you on your writing skills...we all have words but there is a special talent in putting them to music in a way that tells the tale....You`ve got some good rock going on here guys...standing ovation from an old guy out west......Ed

Orlando my friend....I knew it would be good before I hit play...but it is even beyond my high expectation of your music...superb production values (I`m listening on headphones tonight)...love the composition ideas you bring in...those breaks that let the sound soak into your mind...Definitely a fav...and thank you for the download...this one is going on my MP3 player for my Sunday walk in the park.....EXCELLENT.........Ed

Not your usual hip hop....just good music in whatever genre it is (I`m not particularly knowledgeabout genres)...seems to have a touch of what is now called R&B...a sprinkling of soul....the synth sweep is what takes it a bit aside from being easier to define...but...in any case...I like your musical imagination & enjoyed the listen....looks like you are due to do a new one soon NS...good job on this......Ed

great groove...hard to sit still to this one doudei...wonderful playing and nice clean production...I`m with Bear...could have listened much longer but enjoyed it much....we could use more of these doudei.....Ed

Hey James....y`all gotta sing with a southern twang if its going to be country HaHa...just kidding...I keep threating to learn to play slide better (mainly for blues)but every time I try I make these gawd aweful noises...guess I`ll have to raise the strings on one of my guitars further above the frets...anyway...nice rock vibe to this one...a well composed, played & delivered mix...enjoyed the listen up my way this Saturday.....Ed

This one really bounces along...good energy and a nice smooth vibe...I like it Paul...being an old rhythm guitar & bass player for more than a few years I would have liked to hear a key change part thrown in there somewhere...it holds that D# progression all the way (really nice little prog by the way)...but thats just the way my ear works I guess....good listening just as it is mate....well done to you.....Ed

Really like this one GoldenOokami....I played bass with a group for a while so I really like the walking bass style myself...contrasts nicely with the guitar lines...I hear a bit of medevil/new age in it (mainly the guitar & key bits)...This definitely is different and the good thing about that is it makes a real interesting listen all the way to the end...the interaction of the instruments if certainly not your standard fare so it might not appeal to everyone but this ol boy enjoyed it in any genre you like......well done guys.....keep on...Ed

Yes...lots of energy clindsay...and lots of power in the drums...that section at 1:09 kicks #####...very effective change up from the power in the intro...it takes more than a little musical imagination to put one like this together even if you used all loops...and the production sounds good....a big well done....keep on......Ed

absolutely lovce that big rich intro pad Orlando.....nice change-up at 2:12 as the theme continues....the deep bass around 3:07 is great....very cinematic...pictures for the mind.....sunrise once a day...so there is no limit to how many of these you could do my friend...haha.we should play to every sunrise.......another great listen & fav........Ed

Nice patient intro..when an intro runs over a minute I think it needs to cary some musical interest rather that just act as a long lead-in...this one does it very well....its real nice easy listening for a house mix (I dont have an extensive knowledge of the electronic genres..so I tend to just listen from a "Do I like the music" point of view)....good listening here Ookami..I can hear that you put a lot of thought into the compositional structure and it pays off....a big well done to you...keep doing it..I`ll be back to check out a few of your other tracks (notice you cover quite a few genres) when I find a bit of time (its hard to come by for me at present)....Ed

well...some people can take a mish mash of loops to very interesting musical places apparently...I hadn`t really paid any attention to Techno until I started listening around LM...and while some of the industrial type noises aren`t necessarily up my alley there is a rhythmic quality to a lot of it that really grabs the ears & mind...so..while I`m no expert in the genre I must say you have some big driving energy and good upbeat listening going on here FR...and most of us find that a good combination...holds the interest well for a 10 min mix (I know...my concentration goes to hell real easy)...Dig that section around 7:30 where it goes a bit more minimal with just the beat, hats & bassy arp...then back into the prog with synth...really well done...take a bow..........Ed

Who is doing those vocals Larry....really well done...Like the big low subby bass and pad accompaniament but the vocal is really the star...the overall vibe reminds me a bit of some of the R&B artists I loved in times past...people like Al Green, Gladys Knight, et al should still be doing it and I`d be listening....great job man...Ed

PS: I`d be tempted to try and add a few little guitar melodies to this one but I`m up to my ying-yang here for a while & time is hard to come by...Ed

I enjoyed this one Ernest (Chris is a fine musician)...its the kind of easy flowing tune that really doesn`t need a dominant melody..nice patrient intro.....just sails along through those nice little key progressions with a good feeling and leaves you with a smile...I sometimes wish more of the music we hear did that......well done......Ed

I like this one SJ....Yes I think you should develop the drums ...the bass is good.....strange as it may seem I often find that layering in a hip- hop or R&B drum loop or 2 in some parts with the main percussion works..nice airy pads..keep it going...sounds good...Ed

I liked it SonOfABeach...really nice job on the power you got in that kich & bass combination in particular...The little break around 1:46 worked well as it was getting a bit repetative up until that point....well done....Ed

Secret agent man strikes again...haha...great retro stuff Scott..that organ break at 3:38 is extra cool.. .enjoyed this one......Ed
