on Disclosure ft Sam Smith Latch Chilled Remix by WongKiShoo
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

Hey 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 :)

Thanks again man :D

on ShortBusMusic vs Magix by beerling1970
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

on Old School Epicness Demo by Jowe
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
Jowe
Jowe replied 27th Aug 2014 - 11 years ago
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

on Feel The Sound by Diskonnect
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 ;)

on Stay Back Freestyle by mackeymarshel
definitely different...and since rap isn`t on my usual listening menu I sure wouldn`t be a good source of advice...I do agree with the comments on the rap & music being out of sync...and sure...the production is a bit weak,...but we all start somewhere...You have the good fortune of getting off to an early start with your music mackeymarshel...so you know if you keep at it & invest in the learning you will be well on your way.....its a great addiction and a lifetime of satisfaction...all the best & keep on......Ed

All the best to you as well!

on Power Drive by srbrown7
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

on Money On My Mind -2 by JodyJames
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

on 5letters by undergounddude
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

Peace Ed! cool you came by :)

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!

on Bang Bang by EazyBeatz
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

on Daft Punk Medley Piano Version by GoldenOokami
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

on World Premiere by sddkls
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-ass 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

on The Deep End by PRINCELECTRO
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

on UPDATE Thinking Of You Ft Felicia Santilla by SeriouslyJoking
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
SeriouslyJoking
SeriouslyJoking replied 21st Aug 2014 - 11 years ago
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.

Thanks for listening and take care!

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

on Winter song by LividKicks
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

on Stay with me till dawn featuring Pauline Wright by RichieWinn
WOW...yes..Pauline is indeed one extra talented lady...and again, just because I often listen with my old producer ears I have to admire the way you composed around the vocal Richie,....I know I have said it before so it may sound old, but there is a very special talent to composition, performance and production that lets the vocal shine so well and yet has that ear candy type accompaniment and you can`t help notice....This is not flattery from me....its just damn good my friend...much respect.,...

RichieWinn
RichieWinn replied 20th Aug 2014 - 11 years ago
Hi Ed

It's always good to see you on my profile posting comments - thank you very much.

Pauline is a special talent and I am so fortunate to be working with her. I know we've had this conversation before regarding the whole issue of allowing the vocals to shine and it's good you mention it here again. It would be a crime to swamp a vocal performance of this calibre with unnecessary instrumentation or a poor mix. It's sometimes a case of not what you put in but what you leave out (wish I could credit myself with this advice but it was the great Count Basie that said it). So, what I include has to be the best I can achieve and I'm circumspect about adding anything that doesn't really add to the overall sounds. Apologies, I'm rambling a bit here!!!

Thanks again for your kind and positive words.

Best regards

Richie

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

on Off Your Chest by MisterCH
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
MisterCH
MisterCH replied 23rd Jun 2014 - 11 years ago
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!

on Peace On Earth by Mosaic
Creative coposing ideas Mosiac...the big beat up front but those peaceful easy-flowing pads and chimes etc in the backing....neat concept....I wouldn`t know how it fits the genre...but it fits in the good listening genre for me anyway...kudos to you on trying some different genres..its not something I have yet had much success at..."Peace on earth" is not something humanity has yet accomplishes ...guess some of us are fortunate to have been born in countries that at least have a good measure of it compared to the many less fortunate tribes.....keep on....Ed

Thank you mate for stopping by, pleased you enjoy track and concept, when loading knew it wasn't going to suit everybody, agree some of us are luckier then others for sure, can only hope for world peace, don't know if achievable or not, can always hope!
Yes been enjoying branching out doing other genre's, have a very nice pop track coming next week, then house, then back to trance for sometime, Yep found the piano loops was talking about in review, haven't found track made with them yet, will look again today, if okies might upload to here...Thanks once more Ed...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...

Hi Orlando...just had to drop by to leave you a well done and a big thank you..and thatn you for your more than kind words my friend...Guess you are aware of the circumstances that will keep me away from the music (& the Loop) as much as I would like to be involved...will stop in when I can to check up on you & our Looperfriends as I think I`m addicted....There is a lot more music to be done....on to thenext one...Look forward to meeting up along the road again..I have a ton of musical ideas..some of them partially started so they dont escape when I return....and you know where to reach me any time....My best to you always my friend...Ed

Thank God, Ed...you can still do a peek or two on LM in spite of the situation which is really very nice...ofcourse I am completely aware of it and I just hope it won't last too long, and most important that it will be all fine in the end. As you know I still have some of your material and I'm trying to work on it...it all depends of free time amount and particulary of Muse's willingness to pay me some visits from time to time...when something emerges out of it I will let you know, as always...
Hold on tightly, my friend, we haven't said the last word yet...

All the best to you and your family_______Orlando

on Donald Sterling - He Had Those Aids by CognacXE
the guy is a total idiot Cognac...and as you say he makes good sound bites...funny like somebody from centuries back...but a sad statement on evolution....on the other hand tye concept and music is just right (a bit minimal...the necessary ingredients)..to leave ndoubt about the words....right on...Ed
Tumbleweed
yes...nice bouncy/catchy tune radioilluminati..certainly has a commercial flavour for a dance mix...its not a genre thats on top of my regular listening chart but you have enough variations & different instrumentation going on to make it good listening..and while I would not be a big fan of autotune (when you can hear it) the music & vocal go together really well...very nicely done....Ed

You know I`m not a good source of any kind of advice on House (or the electronic genres in general) FR...but this sure is a smoooooth listening bit of music you knocked up...if it only took you a couple of hours thats even more amazing...some nice variations to hold the interest....you can put this one in most any genre and I would still like it (its the first 9 min mix I`ve listened to all the way through in a long time)....its kind of picture-painting stuff..would almost make soundtrack backing for the right video...good job.....Ed
