on Sleep by topvega

you`re reminding me of that old rock feeling Topvega....if it aint rock it aint music...my tastes may have mellowed a lot but the straight up rock & roll done guitar band style always rings the bell for good times...good stuff..not intended as a criticism (I enjoyed the listen big time) but if you backed off the hard limiting a bit (or used a softer knee) I think the lead guitar dynamics might pop a little more....keep on man....Ed

topvega replied 2nd Apr 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanks for the tip Ed, I will give that a try. Kind of you to give it a listen and for leaving a comment. Every time I think my tastes are mellowing a bit I seem to find a new band that reignited that hard rock vibe in me. Latest has been WolfMother. Thanks again for the kind words.

on Ups And Downs by Lithman

that little section at 1:07 with the pizz strings works a treat..the piano & strings really are a nice combination for this one...thoughtfully composed and really well done...enjoyed this one Rick.....Keep on....Ed

on Minus - Ohgr Cover by Spivkurl

Hey Spiv....you better move up here....I think we`re the only area in North America that never changes time...haha...gotta say I enjoyed this one...I think its likely got a little more of the rock in it that most of the industrial I`ve listened to...and its well done...has a touch of the rough edge that lets it come off very naturally...you could have told me you spent ages on it & I would have accepted that too....good stuff Spiv....Ed

Spivkurl replied 5th Apr 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanks my friend for your kind thoughts! I just today realized that the falacy of time has been on my mind for far longer than when I was DJ'ing to other time zones. I'm happy to have a common vein of thought in recent works, even though this is a cover. I just haven't adjusted to modern changes in reality I guess, glad I'm not the only one! See you in a moment!

on Relax by DESTERO

hell yeah....you can play this on my radio all day Destro...just dm good laid back listening with a touch of slow funk and a dash of rock & maybe a dab of R&B all throw in...really lie the vocal bit too...great job...keep em coming....Ed

DESTERO replied 31st Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanks so much,
awesome (for me) Feedback!!

on On the Road by MisterAllea

Like the minor chords..I think I start about 90% of my tunes in a minor...the piano and strings accompaniment is a wonderful combination for emotional/expressive music and seems to generate a little meloncholy...very nicely done MisterAllea...enjoyed this one......Ed

Tumbleweed 29th Mar 2014 02:59 - 11 years ago

on See Under Sea - Feat Sanna Hartfield by midiman007

that vocal is really good...but then, so is everything else...has a really nice bluesy vibe...great hob on this one...enjoyed the listen...fav for sure....Ed

midiman007 replied 4th Jun 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanks for the nice reply. Soory for the late reply I have been busy..

on DATT STUFF by mackit

Your versatility is showing again Mack Man...like that steady funked beat with a bit of power and the way the bass line sets it off...super guitar stuff (I`ll learn to play that tasty jazz guitar in my next life...at present I just try not to have my fingers stumble over each other.. haha)...uplifting & very cool mix that bounces right along in head-nodding fashion...and thats something we could all use more of...the hard limiting pushes the volume on this one up but I think the pumping & power work o.k.with the instrumentation & overall vibe....enjoyed this one...great job...Ed

mackit replied 28th Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

ED, first let me say you are one of the best all around guitar players on the Loop.You play with a lot of discpline, and that makes for some well thought out compositions. Thanks for stopping by and the humble comments. PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.

on Time Has Come by ScottFranco

very cool stuff guys...very nice guitar by Franco as usual and skillful execution on all the backing instruments...like the keys and that sweep synth...its the intricate kind of composition and talented playing we have now come to expect from ScottFRanco....Ed

ScottFranco replied 30th Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanks so much, Ed. Your kind words always make us feel good.

Ciao,
Franco & Scott

on Foggy Farm Ft Addis Branwell and Holly by SeriouslyJoking

You`ve got a good one going here SJ...notice you have had a few suggestions...bass sounds exactly as it should on my system..eq is pretty close, sut I would play around with widening the mix a bit...panning some of the backing quite a bit more...you might try inserting a mid-side processor on some of the tracks too...vocal is really fitting well..drums are a little understated but it is a chillout mix so may not call for anything very drastic..a couple of dBs of gain ..try a compressor set to show 3-5 dBs of reduction and a real fast release time ...Its so close as it is, but you have a really nice listening piece of music going so likely worth doing a bit of tweaking on...good job...keep on...Ed

SeriouslyJoking replied 25th Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Hello Ed and thank you, THANK YOU for the detailed feedback and advice! I'm going to follow your description (if I can!) when remixing this and see what happens.

Take care - I'm off to give your latest track a listen, I have been saving it for a couple of days now because I know it is going to be quite an musical experience!

on Dont Look For Me ft Kamoflage and Joanna Perricone by doudei

proof that hip hop has come a long way from its origins...I like the rich music mix doudei..the piano is great and those little higher tinkles that come in once in a while really set the mix off nicely...I was surprised to read that you did this on headphones...its a good sounding mix...well done (again).....Ed

doudei replied 24th Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

thanks for your much appreciated comment Ed. happy to hear the mix is agreeable!

recently i've been using headphones more and more to mix tracks. the most trouble is definitely with the low end energy in most of the mixes.
i would say if you keep using the same headphones all the time and practice a lot, then anyone can properly mix on headphones, granted that they are of a certain quality.

thanks again Ed and have a good start into the new week!

on Free Falling - Tom Petty Cover Demo by SpellJammer

No kidding.....I actually like your rendition better that the original...there is just something about a good song done with the acoustic accompaniment that grabs my attention & emotions right off the top...Awesome job on the vocal (as always) Dylan...a tip of the hat to you...I have checked in on your acapella page once in a while (knowing what a good job you do) but I seem to have a block when it comes to covers as I never want to do them the same as they were..maybe that comes from the years of perpetually playing covers in early band days & subsequent feeling of freemdom when I started trying to do my own thing...anyway...superbly done here.........Ed

SpellJammer replied 24th Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

This review just made my day coming from a guitar authority such as yourself my friend.

on Hiphop beat by johnnyproducing

Hi Johnny....what impresses me most about this is that for a young guy you are bringing in a lot of non-traditional stuff..most artists seem to be more concerned about emulating the artist(s) they like (and I guess thats where we all start).the instrumentation is quite different...and to me that always suggests that the musical imagination & creativity is working....good for you...keep making it your own and not a copy of somebody else...Ed

johnnyproducing replied 22nd Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Hey Ed,
I really appreciate your comment.
It is true that most people reproduce what they hear and that is no problem since the audience enjoys listening to music that sounds like the general music. However after a while all the music will then sound the same and that would leave the audience with the same kind of songs of which they would become bored after a while.
Maybe my music differs from this because I keep changing things till I like it myself enough, but with upcoming colabs you can't escape from making things that sound mainstream (but I like to make that too)
I will try to follow your advice and keep producing my own way and I think it is really cool that my songs impress you. Had no idea they were so non traditional haha

Tumbleweed 22nd Mar 2014 02:49 - 11 years ago

on Remix colors by johnnyproducing

well...this is pro stuff Johnny...its chart stuff all the way and the vocal sits really well in what is a big brick wall limited mix....really well done...and please dont take it as a criticism, but if you backed off the limiting on the music mix to a softer knee those bouncy synth dynamics would shine even more....good job.... keep on...Ed

johnnyproducing replied 22nd Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Haha I wouldn't call this pro stuff but I appreciate the comment ;)
Mm so I should kick the limiter down a bit, I will keep that in mind for next time, should practice a bit in mastering the limiter haha
Thanks for the kind comment Ed ;)

on Funky Day Tripper by ScottB55

Hey Scott....I was playing in my first band in 63 while still in school...started on instrumental covers (Ventures, Shadow, Fireballs, etc)..did pretty much all of the early Beatles when they hit the air along with the other Brit groups.....I played some of the songs so many times I think I still could play along with most...but I don`t like going back as I`m having too much fun making my own noise....cheers..do some more & I`ll shoot a link to the 2 old bandmates I still am in touch with....Ed

ScottB55 replied 22nd Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Hey Ed,

That clears it up on the age. You have a few years on me. I think I was about 12 when I started playing, around '67 or '68. I'm really going back in time on the track I'm working on now. It's from the 30s. I played a show a few weeks ago and decided to do a track from it (42nd Street.)

Cheers,
Scott

Tumbleweed 21st Mar 2014 16:35 - 11 years ago

on Funky Day Tripper by ScottB55

I think you have at least a decade of music in here Scott...I played covers of Day Tripper and tunes by every group you mentioned here so that will tell you something about my age..haha...on the other had you know I enjoyed this one big time....great job....Ed

ScottB55 replied 21st Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Hi Ed,

Thanks for checking me out and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it.

A bit confused, though about your age. Did you know of these groups, or did you have to check them out cause you didn't? I know you'd heard of the Beatles, but had you heard 'Day Tripper?' Just wondering. I learned much of my craft from them, among others.

Cheers,
Scott

on Next Time by Mykael

definitely do whatever you plan to finish this one & get it back up Mykael...its really good and I gotta say I was really impressed with it just as it is...The production issue just seems to be with the level as everything else is sounding good..so that wont be difficulty to fix...great job guys.....Ed

Mykael replied 21st Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Hiya Ed!

Thanks for stopping by and I'm extremely grateful for your comments...happy to know you enjoyed it.

We are actually starting from ground zero on this one as, unfortunately, my laptop died and nothing could be retrieved. It's I had to learn about backing up files regularly. Anyways, now that some time has passed since we first worked on this tune I have polished up the melody, we've added a break, and of course additional lyrics to make it into a proper song.

Thanks again!

Love & Light,

Mykael

on Symposium - Musica Romana Mediterranea by Bamman

well Bamman...I dont know if the ancient Greeks and Eqytians would have played music together...but its great to hear music done with imagination that is free from whatever limits others would impose...bravo...well done...Ed

Bamman replied 4th Apr 2014 - 11 years ago

Yep, thank you.
Regarding Rome and slaves import, we can imagine a featuring like this, why not? ;)
Peace.

on Tripping around the Saturn by traz75

that is some unusual mix traz...multi genre musical excursion...good for you & thanks for including a couple of my loops...keep on..Ed

traz75 replied 22nd Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Thank you Ed! You (and a few other people) uploads a lot of so cool loops that is really hard to me NOT to use at least a few of them in any random track i make. :)

Tumbleweed 16th Mar 2014 20:19 - 11 years ago

on PEACE by mackit

Its a cool easy-listening piece of music in its own right mackman...but I really like your idea for using it...it would reall do the trick if you could get it in front of a track that had some of the same instrumentation...good stuff...like this one....Ed

mackit replied 23rd Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Thankyou ED,for stopping by ,and the possitive coments.I been working so hard to keep the lights on I havent had time to do any Looper listening. You are in my top Looper listening list, so i will be stopping by soon. Thamks again. PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.

on The Real Life by beerling1970

I suppose a lot of our fellow artists will recognize your sound sources Steve...but I don`t as I can`t tell the difference between the sounds from an 80`s synth and one somebody got yesterday...but I sure know what sounds I like wherever they may originate...you`ve got some really great sounding rich ones here (I like those pads that have a bit of a sweep & movement)....nice little progression holding this one together and an infectuous beat...Like it all, especioally that synth part doing the lead around 4:05...brillian job...really enjoyed this one......Ed

beerling1970 replied 17th Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

I really like the support i have got on here especially from yourself and Danke, thank you so much and i hope to please your ears some more soon :)

on Easy Riders - on hold mix Larry Wiggles aka Mark J by larrywiggles1

Oh...I was very briefly waiting for Riders On The Storm at that little intro line (also used elsewhere)...but I got this neat bouncing along tune & my feet were tapping (I`m not telling if my head was bobbing...thats a hippie thing..haha)...Like the sax...nice drop/transition at 1:50...& thereafter a picked up jazz vibe...geez Mark...I`m liking it even more as it goes along...builds really nicely...love this uplifting kind of stuff...great job....Ed

larrywiggles1 replied 14th Mar 2014 - 11 years ago

Hi Ed,

Yes I love that little riders sample! would have loved a bit of EC guitar on there..who knows one for the future maybe!!!!got a lovely picture of you tapping and bobbing! Really glad you like it Ed and as always much appreciate your time and comments. off to do a bit of bobbing myself!!!
