Hi Polyfronetic....by the time I was through the intro it began to strike me a Trance witha bit of Rock N Roll attitude...very effective drop around 1:53...I`m not well informed on the genre so I tend to judge music thats not on my regular listening list by weather or not I enjoyed it....and I enjoyed the listen to this one...Its a big mix but really well done and thoughtfully put together...I have always thought that Trance (and a lot of the dance/club music genres) were uplifting kind of music and we could always use more of that....good way to start the day....well done...Ed
Bravo Shemzee....a modern take on some of those traditional Christmas song is something we could use more of...but I have heard very few of the poppy versions that I care for...We have a native (North American Indian) church in our town here that lets the young people bring their instruments and music ideas to church...they rock it up pretty hard and it appeals to a lot of the young people (better than so many of the old traditional hymns that many find boring ...including me)....Good one Shemzee...A Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones......Ed
Its always a temptation to add more sounds with all the toys we have available to us Maffin...but there is much to be said for just having a few really good ones and letting them carry the day...You really did a nice job here of letting the vocal be the star but that synth is just notably good at wrapping those melody lines around the vocal...I liked this one just as it is...but I understand the drive to add some little tweaks here and there (I add too much clutter to a lot of my mixes...but dam...aint it fun)...good job on this one and it sounds nice & clean and clear...Ed
Sooo difficult, and so much fun to keep adding layers - but sometimes it's like cooking, a few simple ingredients are best.
Same with mastering - I think we all get caught up in chaining exciters and finalizers, and timing the multi compressors to a few milliseconds - that's *bound* to make my track sound better!
I'm old enough to know the handclap from Sweet Dreams was Dave Stewart smacking an empty picture frame against a wall in a basement, and they did ok with that one :)
Cheers...I might just fix the timing and levels and add just one more tiny thing...and maybe just...oh bugger I've ruined it...etc.
That little drop around 1:30 is really effective MadZo...good job on this one...enjoyed the listen & agree with Domenico`s comments on the audience sounds....Ed
Thanks a mill for the great comments! yes I have yet to finish it as it was only a demo but I have replaced it with a little bit cleaner version but still not finished tho!
This one has a bit of a late night...loungy feel....much credit to you for doing one without the customary beat driven approach...It lets all the subtle parts speak for themselves...nice chilled vibe...enjoyed the listen...feel like I`m in some chilled club so I`ll just sit here at the back table for a while...pop the top on a cool one and relax....well done....Ed
Well...for a quick idea this is one fine bit of work Maff....really like the intro..vocal goes great with the rhythm of the track and of course Bear`s backing is (as always) great stuff.in fact I would avoid any temptation to add anything more than you have....a tip of the hat to you...really enjoyed it...Ed
The banging drum & synth mix really is a neat contrast with the easy flowing vocal...like the subtle melody in the breaks...outro part in particular...nice clean production...well done guys......Ed
Love that big fat bass ChokiStarz and the way it contrasts with the higher/lighter sounds.....nice slow grooving, head-nodding kind of sound with just the right key prog & variations to keep it rolling & the ears perked...good job on this one..enjoyed the listen...Ed
this one must have been hiding away somewhere on the Loop...(since May)....so...whioe not being a conniseur of the genre (as you know)...I just gotta leave a few words on this one Kenny...some great sounds...some creative stuff in the composition and the way you bring it all together & keep an ol guitar guys ears perked..dm, love those big fat pads you got in there this is a good one....Ed
I really like the fact that you havent loaded the mix up with a ton of elements Steve...just the ones that carry it along perfectly and wrap around the vocal...It seems to be something I find in common with mixes that I really like...super job on this one...Ed
Hey Spiv,...if you say its dubstep I`ll take your word for it as I know squat about the electronic sub genres (and many other things)...Have to tell you I have a big smile on my face while I`m listening...sounds like that fella was cutting some bad gas but yet had the good sense to tune them nicely...what fun would music been if you couldn`t have some fun with it...good on ya...keep them creative juices flowing...no excuses needed...I`ll tune in....Ed
I'm glad I could enhance your smiling, as your songs always cheer me up too! I've gotten the impression that you know more about electronic genres than a lot of people out there for real. Thanks so much for stopping by to listen!
your phone????...well it sure works out just fine...really interesting mix..lots of electronic elements but it carries a theme that would almost fit the bill for one of those medeival scenes...well done Sevenola....I see you`ve been busy with music lately...will have to catch up with your others soon....Ed
This is special...and believe it or not I know the feelings you express so well in the music.....I came home from my younger brother`s funeral some years ago and had to sit down and play my feelings...I have never posted the result anywhere..likely never will...the felings are in the notes..in the beauty and simplicity of it all and the unspoken knowledge that our end here is not the end...This is music that speaks emotion that can`t be expressed in other ways.....thanks for posting...sympathies from me and God bless........Ed
I can hear why this is your fav Sevenola.....has a nice rolling along vibe & the kind of uplifting feel that leaves a smile on your face..The string stabs are a nice contrast with the beat & synth pad & the breaks/variations keep it interesting listening....enjoyed this one....Well done....Ed
Musicians of my generation (older guys) have a hard time getting into some of the more recent sub genres Sevenola...but I`ve been finding it real interesting to do some checking around the Loop and particularly fellow artists who leave a few comments on my own noises...No lack of creativity..thats for sure...This one is kind of neat and I hear the creative thought you put into it...To my tastes (that I know are kind of old fashioned) I think a couple of little key changes in there somewhere would bump it up a notch...in any case..i gotta say...good for you...keep doing your own thing.....Ed
Thanks Ed, coming from a musician from a great generation of musicianship that means a lot. Key change is a thought to put into Electronic Dance Music... I'll have to keep it in mind for sure, thanks for the feedback ! :D
Hi Ed - standing ovations from you!! Well, I have to say, that is the best comment ever and makes me very proud. I've been struggeling with this one for some time now...something always clashing with something else, but maybe I'm finally getting there.
Really like this one Lithman...beautiful piano and cool chord prog....you`ve got a good one going here...would maybe benefit from a little key change or 2 somewhere along the line just for a changeup...but its good listening....well done to you....Ed
very different intro...almost sounds like water in the stream running over rocks...then you hit all that sound fx stuff....I have to admit ALXIX that that the genre is not of my frequent listening list...but I also must say that my habit of checking out the music of fellow artists who leave any comments on my own noises seldom fails to produce some really interesting/creative listening...and no doubt that this is some creative thinking...and it helps me stretch the imagination a bit on different possibilities....well done....all the best to you.....Ed
Thank you Ed for your listen and comments, really appreciated esp. from someone not into that kind of music!
It was really fun experimenting with all those fx, I wanted to know how far I could go that way.
Glad it helped you broaden the imagination on creativity!
sounds dm good to me Wayne....def western vibe but with that blues feel....there is something to be said about keeping the mixes basic/a bit sparce (something I forget to do often)...it sure does let each instrument play its part effectively in the mix....and you have a nice clean mix going here....great job....Ed
I did this before I knew anything about interfaces, sequencers and controllers. It would probably sound different and more cluttered if I did it today having all they toys to play with. I like open mixes that can feature each instrument so I try to keep things simple.
I believe this was the second song I posted on the loop when I joined. Cool Edit Pro 2 has nothing on Ableton, hehe!
Was doing some before supper listening & just had to log in to leave you a big well done on this one zappo...super bit of musical work here with a lot of creativity & extra large helping of talent....PJB is always the best of musical company...kudos to you both...and the production counts for big bonus marks....Ed
Super bit of funky listening over my way midiman...It really is well done and kudos to you of the playing and the nice even production....much enjoyed...Ed
Tumbleweed it is so great to hear nice compliments from you. I do appropriate everything since I know when it comes from someone who plays an instrument or instruments it really is from the heart. Peace..
Dont put it in the bin SJ...I can hear a lot of good work (and talent) that went into this one..Good for you on that bassline..that drop at 2:45 really works well and the drums are subtle enough to let the bass do its thing...the big reverb on Carrol`s vocal works well in this one too...The whole mix has a nice big rich sound...Its really well done...the only thing that I could think of as I was listening was that a couple of little key changes somewhere along the way might kick it up another notch....enjoyed this one...keep on.....Ed
Hi again, Ed!
About that bass - I didn't even consciously notice the bass in songs before and didn't understand what all the fuss was about...you guys here talking about great basslines etc. etc.
And then I suddenly started to hear it too. (It's OK to laugh, it's both hilarious and embarrassing... =D)
So this is kind of a big musical revelation for me: The bass is what brings the music alive somehow...well, I haven't quite figured it out yet but I'm getting there.
In this case however, it's a very simple and amatourish bassline of course, I'm aware of that. Just celebrating my new knowledge by building a song around that bass which just happened to popp out in an other song where it didn't belong, that's all.
Key changes are a good idea, it's very flat and veeeeeery long, this song.
So some key changes and also just half a song could be my next move here.
Thanks for listening and for the advice!
You`ve got a good one going here Candelaria...exceptionally well done...cool vocal delivery....well done....If you are looking for flamenco check our ferryterry here on LM.....Ed
