nicely done larrybarrow....hope that back problem is recovering...its a miserable condition....but you know where the healing comes from.......enjoyed your track....Ed
Bonjour Dan...you know it is always such a big honour and pleasure to be included in your beautiful compositions...I especially like this one...You have made a great discovery in Michael...what a wonderful voice and such expressive delivery...it is deep in meaning for me..and surrounded by your thoughtful composing, big talent and clear production...Thank you Dan and thank you Michael...for this moving composition and for allowing me to play a small part in it with you......I will look yo hearing more surprised from you after your adventures later this week Dan...all the best.....Ed
wondersul rich intro with the piano and synth..and of course you know I love that guitar transition to the main verse....this is music I could listen to for a very long time domr30....merci and a very big well done to you.....Ed
An old friend in Canada is giving a standing ovation to Behnam and Corina....for the honest music from the heart...performed with gentle passion...it deserves to be heard by all who appreciate the way real music sounds.....Bravo.......Ed
first of all my appology for late reply , Ed , dear master & good friend of mine ..certainly reading ytour positive idea is a pleasure for me ...
Ed , this was an old recital of mine & Ina animated it with her lyrix & song & I'm agreee with U she had sung this with her heart & this fact is what make this trial to sound more beautifull for myself to ...
Ed , me & Ina both appreciate your mastership encouragement & the kind words & shared comprehensive comment .
take care.___B
There are a few artists around the Loop that I listen to from a learning/education/ideas point of view...and you are one of them Steve...like how to creat the whole vibe with minimal instrumentation..sounds that seem to melt together like they were always meant to be together...a simple progression that has no need be any fanvier or more complex...with those break moments that pause before sailing on to whats next...I think I have been able to clutter my own tracks a bit less lately...but its good to be reminded again...enjoyed this one big time...great job....Ed
Hi Kddelapiedra...notice you have some comments on the bass...I like it the way it is...hitting way down close to sub territory & contrasts really well with the piano & higher sounds...that synth pad is just about as rich a foundation sound as I have heard....you`re hearing this from an old guitar guy who doesn`t know much about the genre...but I gotta say I enjoyed this one....I know the hard limiting is part of the genre most of the time but you have done a good job of keeping the dynamic intact in your production...well done man.....Ed
well, Franco (Ferryterry) is definitely the right kind of company on a Latin inspired piece of music...very tasty use of the little piano parts...and the sax goes great...about the perfect combination of instruments for the summery vibe of the track...who did the vocals Alex?....they are really good...found those couple of counds right at the end (outro) a bit unusual....enjoyed this one.....well done.....Ed
hi Ed,
many thanks for you nice comment - much appreciated!
Here's the original vocals from Oceanically: http://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/6143
About the piano... actually I am a piano player so here (and also on many of my other tracks) I did the piano part myself... I used a Jazz Baby vst here:) Sax-sounds are samples also from ferryterry.... I did many songs with Oceanically. Her's the newest one: https://soundcloud.com/promenade2239/blue-lagoon-ft-oceanically
I will post this song on looperman soon... but for now just wanted to let the Simple Song be more exposed for a while...
Glad you enjoyed this one.
Nice day,
Alex
I`m not familiar with the original...but this is just an excellent mix...can`t help notice the thought that went into the composition..with the really minimal sections...then the big beat parts (really like the drum kit) that carry a lot of subtle power....I`m glad I caught up with your version George...its REALLY well done in every regard so obviously even if I thought I knew anything about house music mixing I couldn`t dream up any way to improve this one....standing ovation from this old guitar guy......Ed
Thanks for taking time out to listen. I *did* try adding a lead synth and spicing up the minimal parts with a few bits but anything I tried seemed to just not fit, when I stepped back and looked at it, it just seemed to work as is.. so I left it lol. I normally end up with about 25 separate tracks on the mixer but on this I've only got 11..
My biggest critic is probably my sister, she never likes my music but she said she loves this one so I must have done something right :)
I see I missed this one while I was too occupied to find time for the Loop...Man, this is just top notch in every way Steve...You just can`t listen to this and not get pulled into the whole vibe...really catchy...complex instrumentation ..yet it just flows through those nice chord progs like warm butter......really did enjoy the listen...standing ovation and fav from this old guy.....Ed
I Like it Jowe.....mainly because it is very creative in the imnteresting mix of sounds....the orchestral & synth parts, piano and fx with nice swingy percussion holding it together...keep your musical imagination turned on...its is a quiet mix..could use quite a bit more volume...but we all have volume controls on our speakers...good job....Ed
Woaah, thanks a lot for your kind words ! :)
There is a final verson where I added panorama and tried to fix the volume issue. I can upload it too, even if it's not a huuuge difference, the pan add a little something. (in my opinion)... so yeah ! This will come soon. :)
A little precision about volume:
Speaking of volume, it sounds ultra loud in a quiet place when you have headphones, so I always try to give a sort of liberty to the listeners to adjust their sounds depending on their device.
Still nice to know, I'll check if it sounds loud enough before posting the version with pan. :P
the e piano lines grabbed my attention right away...sets up that nice soulful/funky groove to follow...enough variation to keep the ears attentive...its a smooth flowing mix Extraball...makes me want to get back at the recording with some of those vibes you have going in this one....enjoyed this one....proof that you can still do it even with limited time & sound options....well done...hope the world is treating you well over your side of the pond...(I mis-spent a couple of year of my youth in Glasgow (Brigton).....Ed
Dave....we need a new one from you mate (though you will have trouble besting this one)....consider yourself severly beaten over the head with a wet noodle...its been way too long....Ed
Guilty as charged mate!..Hey Ed thanks for the look in,you are correct,it's been way too long...suffice it to say my creative juices have been flowing in other areas (mainly my art work)...however a musical tsunami is gathering on the horizon and will sweep the beaches clean of all previous sand constructions (and beer cans)...Dave ;)
your versatility is showing again Steve....hell, I like a lot of those mamby-pamby chillout tunes..and I like this one too....break around 3:20 is excellent stuff...definitely agree with the groovy comments...its a got a groove that just doesn`t quit...the kind of stuff that keeps dance floors full (some of my hair grew back while I was listening haha)...great job my friend & really well produced....you do it well in whatever genre gets you rolling......Ed
This is one of the best composed & mixed hip hop tracks I have heard in a while Jody...and while the genre is not on my regular listening menu..I really like some of the different things you have going here...the orchestral type stabs & horn, bell sounds etc...you`ve taken this one to a high level man....a big well done to you.....Ed
like the voxy pad...gives it a bit of a mysterious but oeaceful vibe...its a very minimalist mix (that I usually like) so each sound really stands on its own clearly...the kick isn`t bad but it does sound more like a floor tom than a nice deep kick which I think would have taken it up a notch....its a nice easy listen this Sunday morning over on my side of the pond.....keep on......Ed
yea the "kick issue" i heard that a lot, what you suggest to use? i was thinking about 808 kick? but it aint work out like i wanted, so i decided to leave it like it is -
peace and thanks again!
reall like the way you used the orchestral accompaniment parts Ernest...gives it a whole different vibe...maybe a bit ominous in some spots.....I know next to nothing about the electronic sub-genres so I just listen from a musical & production point of view...this one is really well done...enjoyed....Ed
GoldenOokami....I think you are well on your way towards your musical goals...and I much admire the fact that you have been investing in the musical knowledge as well as the production skills part....It will stand by you well in the long term and it will give you a very big step up on those who would try to claim the role of producer based on a narrower view of what it really takes....well done on this one....keep on....Ed
I am very happy to see such comment. Thank you for your words, my friend. I do hope to continue my path as I'm doing. Best of luck for you, Ed. Take care.
I think GramoChopin has a good point sddkis...sounds good & well put together but I also thought the choir & synth parts were a bit too up front....thats a kick-##### drum track...would maybe shine even a bit more if the the choir etc were pulled back a bit into the back where they would have a bigger/wider stage....well done....keep on.....Ed
really nice chord progression and some rich sounds.....this is the kind of house music I could listen to for a long time...the little breaks work great...its a little quiet by commercial standards but it certainly retains all the fullness/dynamcic of those great sounds you have going on....well done princelectro....enjoyed this one......Ed
I checked that acapella SJ...and you definitely picked the right part of it to feature in this mix...this is really nicely done...the minimalist accompaniment works great and you have done a lot of thinking in the way you developed the composition....You keep getting better every time I stop by for a listen....bravo....keep on doing it.....Ed
Hi Ed!
Yes this is very minimalistic, not at all my style really - I tend to throw in a lot of melodies in everything where as here it's really simple, almost just the vocal snippet that does the whole job.
I really like this one promenade...its really well done all round so I certainly have no suggestions...just keep doing it....Its the kind of tune where I would just like to sit at a table at the back of the club & listen to you play some more......bravo....Ed
really nice patient intro & since I really love piano (even though I would claim to be an old guitar addict) you likely know what I thought of the rest....catch little chord prog/melody combination and enough variations/breaks to keep the ears perked....nice clean sounding production with all the dynamics preserved....well done LividKicks...enjoyed this one....Ed
I see I`m way late catching up with this one.....dont change a thing....you hit this one out of the park man.....the lady is great on vocals (like the harmony bits too)...very smooooooth indeed and you`ve place the instruments (spracely) around your starring lady about perfect from my perspective....top notch Richie...as we have come to expect from all you do.....Ed
well...if its one of your first attempts you are off to a good start CH...neat lyrics..I guess I am pretty old school so my ear tends to look for key changes etc...I was thinking you might throw in a key change marker where that chorus/hook parts is (with the harmony bits) and then come back to your starting key...sounds like you are in A minor all the way (A is Acid`s default key setting)...try bumping the music over to D or down to G at the chorus??....anyway....main thing is just have some fun....its a great addiction....Ed
Hey! Thanks for the suggestions :)
Well, it is a great addiction, indeed, and I'm only posting my older attempts because I haven't got a lot of time to make new songs, unfortunately. You're right, though, this song is pretty basic, since I was learning (and still am, to be honest) how to use Acid and make songs. But I'll most definitely keep that in mind for my next songs!
