on Chasing Forever by Jeicee

Hi Jeicee...just caught up with this one now while touring through the Folk genre a bit...this is really good...can`t imagine some vocalist not jumping on this little treasure (I`ll check over on your page just in case you found a singer)...in any case it really good listening as it is...I enjoyed it...well done....more please...Ed

on Believe by raleighbull

well done raleighbull...those key and little vocal bits give it an almost R&B kind of vibe that get along nicely with the beat.Couild maybe benefit from a little more bass...even if just an atonal sub hit with the kick every few beats...enjoyed the listen...Ed

raleighbull replied 7th Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Thanks. I will work on the bass part see what I can come up with.

on UPDATE Feeling Good Nina Simone Remix by SeriouslyJoking

Hi SJ...just catching up with this mix now & operating in my usual perpetually unorganized mode...much has already been said I see....Its certainly different and just dam good.I wondered about the amount of reverb on the vocal but I`m liking it by the time I get to the end..(if you want to improve the clarity of the vocal & leave the reverb as it is...just adjust the reverb pre-delay setting so that you have somewhere in the range of 100-200ms or more of sound before the reverb kicks in..great job.....Ed

SeriouslyJoking replied 8th Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Hello Ed!
Thanks for the tip about reverb pre-delay settings! I'll try that.

And thanks for listening! /SJ =)

on No One Ever Said by SonOfSabotaj

I have always known that emotions and musical talent produce the best songs....the feelings ooze from this one SOS...there are times when what others say though well intended just float on by and the heart is all that is heard....beautiful job on a great song.....Ed

SonOfSabotaj replied 7th Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Thank you Ed for your kind words. :)
2-chord song is the ultimate enactment of the K.I.S.S.-rule!

Peace,

on Time Passage by Orlando51

Masterful musical work Orlando....it was an honour to be part of this little project that you accomplished so skillfully...Thank you....Ed

Orlando51 replied 7th Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Yeah, right, Ed...so where is my "fav" then?? (^^joke)
Well, I did everything (almost^^)I could, but I couldn't have done anything if I wasn't gifted with your wonderful blueprint
(the very foundation of this work)! Ed, you can't drink your beer without a glass, can, bottle or whatever which holds the substance, right? Ed, it was a real honour helping you filling your glass to the top!:)..Thank you for that...

Cheers___Orlando

on What Is Real Never Fades by Maffin159

I recall listening to the first version Maff...dont recall if I faved it but I sure am going to fav this one...for a whole lot of reasons...starting with the depth of lyrics...your really pleasant vocal delivery (I`m reminded again of Brian Ferry)...accompaniment that is wrapped around the vocal..really well done and not intrusive on the vocal...The nice production values and those little extra vocal bits that add space & variety....So, I guess that in my mind makes the whole thing just a really good song...Just an excellent job Maff...Bravo.....Ed

Maffin159 replied 5th Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Thanks so much Ed - means a lot.

Not quite happy with the second verse and the master is still a bit 'harsh' somehow, so I want to try and smooth it off a bit, without flattening the dynamics by over compressing...such an art... esp when it comes out as an 8MB MP3...but your kind words are wonderful encouragement!

It's basically there I think, just need to give it a rest for day or two and come back to it fresh.

Thank you. So appreciate your comments!

on Rehab feat Amy Winehouse by Baggadub

Peter....you must be the only guy around here thats played with Amy Winehouse...this is cool...and the raggae thing really works (its not a genre I`ve tried yet...but I guess there are a lot of others too)....much resect for what you do here...I am just no dam good at composing to acapellas myself...very nicely done...and lots of room to add to this one if you decide you want to...Ed

Baggadub replied 6th Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Hi Ed.. Thanks for yor comment. I have never played with her, I just took a studio acapella and put some music to it.

I'm glad you like it.

on See You by SonOfSabotaj

I see you just signed on to the Loop Kev...so welcome....I used to stop by here looking for drum loops (I hate programming midi) till I hit the track tab & did some searching by genre...found some fine talent amont the crowd & a very supportive little community of musicians/producers..Reading your bio I was struck by the frustration/pain you must have had being so rudely pulled away from the guitar (its been a long addiction for me...I I`m not looking for a cure)...You have a fine voice and your strumming seems to be back in full swing...very nice job on this one....keep on...and if I can lend a hand just hit my contact button...I`m just next door in Regina where we`re freezing our asses off lately.....Ed

SonOfSabotaj replied 5th Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Yes I did! I found it via twitter, and it looked like a good community to get some much-needed feedback so I did what I always do... both feet first! :)

It was really tough for those years, felt like walking around wearing earmuffs and dark glasses in a dark & quiet world. Even with limited capacity, it's elating to be able to play again. I feel like I'm me for the first time in years.

Thanks for the compliments - I really DO need to get more vocal practice in after all these years of hiatus.
Next track I post, it's more vocal anchor, and I'll allow downloads for that one. But be warned: it's a tear-jerker.

And I may just take you up on that offer... soon! :)

Thanks again Ed,

~Kev.

on Bhangratechno1 feat Tha Suspect by clindsay

I`m not well informed on Bangra clindsay but gotta say that this kind of mix really is effective in developing that driving rhythm/beat mix that gets the body parts moving...very creative stuff....I have used a lot of ethnic instruments in my mixes over the years but have yet to come across samples on the Indian instruments that I`ve been able to include...great job on this one...and its great to be able to listen here on the Loop to this kind of music...I for one, would like to hear a lot mor ethnic influenced tracks....keep on...Ed

on Soothing Sea Larry Wiggles aka Mark Jeffries by larrywiggles1

ah yes...another gem from the vault...(keep digging them out Mark)...and proof that you always did have your composing & production chops together...I don`t know what you might want to change but after listening I would be inclined to say "Oh Yeah"...and consider it done...Its got a great R&B flavour and the guitar adds a touch of blues..Definite fav for me my friend...keep em coming....Ed

larrywiggles1 replied 4th Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Hi Ed
Thanks for you usual honest and respected opinion. It has certainly given me more confidence to upload some of my earlier efforts!
Thanks again, take care and speak soon
Mark/Larry!

on i accidentally a piano by doudei

well...perhaps ypu know that piano is an instrument I could happily sit and listen to all evening when its played by a player like you doudei...that is some very fine improvisation and expressive playing...enjoyed this one...Ed

doudei replied 3rd Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

many thanks for the kind compliment, Ed! glad you enjoyed it that much. i have quite a stage-fright and am not too comfortable playing in front of other people, but i guess i could make an exception :)

on Things That Have Never Been by StaticNomad

creative soundtrack SN...the main section bounces right along & the variations keep the ears perked...nicely done...Ed

StaticNomad replied 2nd Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Yeah, guess it is a bit of a soundtrack piece, with the sparseness in the first minute or so and the choice voices (which is a synth) and shimmering pads and stuff. The banjo is kind of the guide navigating us through that section.

The main section definitely has some bounce and I worked really hard to layer those drums (multiple kits) and keep them interesting and powerful all the time.

There's country trainbeat, reggae, funk, hard rock and more in those drum styles.

The other track is much more rocking and psychedelic but kicks off with some bouncy reggae. If you want to hear it, here it is:

on A better life by beerling1970

I never heard the term "Chillout" as a music genre until I found Looperman and after being around a while I think you set that standard Steve...you get that smooth vibe but it comes with all the production values & right sounds that flow, & evolve & blend and just float you along with them....I understand why some are saying "Longer"...its good listening even as it ends a little before it should....great job(as always)...I know where to stop in for lessons now....Ed

beerling1970 replied 4th Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Wow Cheers Ed that's so kind but there are loads of better people here than me I am still petty much a newbie hahahaha

on Psychedelic Erotica by JJWeekz

Hey JJ...you don`t need any advice on your compositional thinking at all...and the transitions going on here are smooth & right on...I could have listened a lot longer...judging by the results I`d say just keep doing what you do...I know about the patience thing very well...I have trouble finishing what I`m doing a lot as my head picks up a new idea....well done on this one...Ed

Tumbleweed 1st Mar 2014 02:02 - 12 years ago

on Say What You Will About Me by Darkreine

I know I`m going tom be hitting the fav button when my first listen ends Kenny...This is top notch original stuff...your vocal & the way you`ve backed it up is a perfect match...and by the way,.....you waaaay under-rate yourself badly as a vocalist..I really like your vocal character & the kind of natural way you deliver it...and just as a side note..really like the production values overall..you could maybe pump a bit more bass but the whole thing is too good to get at all picky about...Just been reading some of the latest on the new audio normalization values for production & tracks like this one will live nicely in the near future (with the end of loudness wars) while the limited to death mixes we see lots off are going to sound as bad as they are....I digress....Its all dm good mate....keep on...Ed

Darkreine replied 7th Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

Hey Ed, thanx for listening and your kind comments. I think a few people have hit on the bass thing and it's defo something for the next mix, although someone told me the other day that the music didn't match the vocal at all, so you can't please everyone. What might sound good to your ears, won't necessarily sound good to others. I knew the industry would catch up with my abnormal, normalization values eventually!!

Thanx for your continued support man, oh and by the way you are my Featured Artist of the Week on my show tonight on Loop Radio!

K;)

on Asylum Spider by MCLA

great to hear some top notch acoustic on the Loop...just a super job all round MCLA (nice sound on the acoustic gtr) & nicely balanced/produced......I sure would bring up that vocal a few dBs its really well done..& delivered with lots of character...really well done & much enjoyed.....Ed

MCLA replied 28th Feb 2014 - 12 years ago

Thanks for listening and the feedback. I am really pleased with listeners comments. I may record the song again in its entirety.

on Memories of You - Featuring Babygee by ScottFranco

well...I must be really slacking...I see I`ve missed this one...and though it is a now a bit familiar, just leaving a big well done to you guys Scott...thanks to you & franco for taking me along for the ride...you`re good musical company but I have a lot to learn when it comes to doing bass outside of my usual styles...I`ll get there....Ed

RichieWinn replied 25th Feb 2014 - 12 years ago

Hi Ed

Thanks for the kind words and so glad you enjoyed the track. Hope to be doing a little more writing and recording this year after moving back to UK and doing all the domestic stuff (buying house etc). Good to be back on "the loop".

on Flaming - Spivkurl - Extraball Remix by Diskonnect

Spiv does some great mixes ..your link to the original didn`t get into the comments Extraball but I`m quite sure I`ve listened to most or all of his tracks...anyway...whatever you did you have one hellofa great mix going here (really like the bass) and its really well structured to make it interesting all the way to the last note..I`ve been trying to work on a couple of electronic type mixes without relying on the old guitar so much, so this was a timely listen for me....I`ll be back for another lesson if I get stuck....I`d call this melodic electronica...its good listening music in any genre...Ed

Diskonnect replied 25th Feb 2014 - 12 years ago

That's the original in the description now, i never noticed it wasnt there! Anyway, thanks for taking the time to listen and review, much appreciated! Take it easy man.

on Dance for the Morning by doudei

This is a fantastic musical achievement doudei...Its one of those special pieces of music your mind just gets burried in and you hardly notice the special things that happened to make it work like it does...Kudos to everyone involved in the tracking, mixing & mastering process...a really fine piece of work folks...but...having said that...the music still has to be extra good toi be this special...and it is...thoughtfully composed/structured.and..skilfully played...You should definitely take a bow...great job...fav....Ed

doudei replied 10th Apr 2014 - 12 years ago

thanks for your kind-hearted words, Ed. i am thrilled by them as always. truly appreciate the appreciation and happily take a bow my friend!
excuse the late response, i have been very inactive. i am currently suffering from slightly excessive workloads at my place of employment.
the feedback from all you guys is amazing though and fills me with pleasant anticipation about making music again soon.
cheers!

on I Love You feat Occuts by santiagosky

Your boss isn`t going to like that you recorded this on work time santiiagosky....but we sure do...I`m surprised how good the vocal sounds given the circumstances...cool song...you are a creative guy and it comes out as a nice uplifting little pop song that is better than a lot of the stuff our radios play...very nice job on the vocal....keep on...we could use more from you.....Ed

santiagosky replied 25th Feb 2014 - 12 years ago

Thanks a bunches Tumbleweed aka Ed. It was quite a slow day at work so I figured why not be productive in another manner. Glad you enjoyed it.

on Ambulance by ElenaSatine

It does indeed sound like the soundtrack from a movie Elena...but I admit that I like it better when you start bringing the music and beat in (around 1:00 min)....interesting mix....but now I am waiting for you to get your guitar and bass out and play some of your own imagination...keep on making music....Ed

ElenaSatine replied 3rd Mar 2014 - 12 years ago

on Escaping Hell by radioilluminati

That orchestral drop around 2:50 likely caught my attention most & the section that follows to the outro with the flutey lead is great..I am not very knowledgeable about the electronic genres radioilluminati so I just tend to judge the music by listening enjoyement...and must say this one kept my ears interested all the way through...nicely done.....Ed

radioilluminati replied 23rd Feb 2014 - 12 years ago

Thanks for the compliment. I don't know what genre this is either. I don't like to be in a genre box either.
