Hey SJ,....that intro was great and the transition to the main section right on....not having any real expertise on the genre I cant offer any intelligent suggestions...I just enjoyed the listening to this one....Ed
Hi again, Ed!
It seems that the intro is what people like in this song, and I thought the intro to be too boring!
Haha...
Thanks so much for listening and for the long answer to my comment about your song today - no need to post that loop I was asking for - I was just curious about the instrument and wanted to know if I could somehow make the same beat in a FL DAW.
And about your songs - DON'T DELETE THEM!!
I like this one Exp54....definitely different but in the best of ways....I`m likely a bit biased..being into guitar & bass ..but must say I really enjoyed the listen...creative stuff....Ed
I hear those touches of Santana that you mentioned Scott....and some very nice touches of latin jazz...still..it is indeed very Latin...and that is what you do well...another good one going on here guys...well done....Ed
It's funny, Ed...I don't really consider myself a Latin musician. I just follow what Franco composes. He's the real Latin musician. If you listen to the stuff on my personal site, there is very little that is Latin based. I'm more a funk and jazz musician. I do love the challenge Franco give me, though.
Hi Kamputera.....interesting that you found an android app the can actually record without more latency than acceptable...I gave up looking after reading that the system just wouldnt work for audio at any decent specs....notice some distortion in the track...likely just overdrove the inputs capability a bit but if you discount that it sounds surprisingly good....I got tired of spending hours trying to do stuff with the major software years ago...and I have used most of them over the years (they all work fine if you want to spend a lot of time at it I guess)....been using Acid Pro for about the last 8 years...does everything I could do on anything else...just easier & most stuff on the fly.....keep on......Ed
Thanks TW for your review. I believe this track was recorded live with my ANDROID device on record near a Roland Micro Cube. My levels were a bit too high and my Droid, possibly, too close to the amp. Tape-A-Talk records in .wav, but there's another app. called ASR that records to .mp3. I'll be giving that one a try. The computer that had my recording software on it crashed and I'm hesitant to resurrect it. I appreciate the listen Ed and Take Care, Mario.
great combination of chill and power...worked my speakers out nicely....and bit of an R&B flavor...all round just good listening...really well done...enjoyed this one......Ed
Hey Lee....just following up on your reply (and big thanks for those track comments by the way...always appreciated)...I cleaned up most of my posts (with the delete button) but if you ever hit one of my tunes that might work for a vocal...or anything else you may want to do....just mail me....I would be more than happy to do a mix without the usual lead guitar stuff for you.....you or I could add some lead bits after if we wanted.....I usually have several music mixes from ones that I didn`t finish or where the lead escaped me if you need any rainy day fun too.......Ed
definitely has that late night in the city vibe Kenny.....This one really puts me in mind of some of Chris Rea`s songs that I have recently spent some time listening to in my search for a bit of inspiration.....and that means its friggin awesome.......Ed
heartfelt indeed....really like this one Lee....Your vocal is the star here...but must say you put together some thoughtful lyrics and delivered them like a pro.....like the interaction between the vocal and the guitar....really well done and I know its not an easy accomplishment.....nice to see a song delivered with all the dynamics intact too.....just a great job Lee....really did enjoy this one.....Ed
Hi Ed Thank you so much for your comments really appreciate it, like you i spent the summer doing other things and have returned with a more simple and honest approach, well thats what i was aiming for and your words have made me feel that i am on the right track. as for my comments on your track i completely understand i was just pointing out that your tracks always seem to bring out the lyrics from me, i have since completed the whole thing and should i get the music done ill point you at it . have a great weekend Lee
yes...indeed a bit different for you pair of talents (and kudos to the vocalist for such a fine job)...I have tried to vary my own approach several times but I find when I pick up the old guitar my tracks end up sounding like something I did before...I`ll work on it some more....You guys just sound good whatever you decide to do Scott...lots of variation here and I like the way you placed the vocal nicely up front where it is clear/distinct.....keep on Scott & Franco.....your talent is showing again.....Ed
Thanks much, Ed. We always enjoy reading your comments on our tracks. I think what really helps us with our array of genres is the fact that we both have our roots in several different styles of music, not to mention there are two minds at work. We have also compared notes on artists we like, and we have similar musical idols and styles.
Again, your words are very encouraging and we appreciate them.
Oh...how did I miss this little gem...best stop over & check out Tara`s stuff soon ...although I`m no good at composing around acapellas for some reason...this one has a nice airy quality about it the way you placed the vocal & music mix....good one Chris...very enjoyable Sunday listening..well done to both of you...Ed
that changeup around 0:45 is really effective...its not a genre I would be a good source of feedback on but you obviously do it very well....nice job on the production...notice you brick walled it but still were able to leave the main dynamics intact....well done....Ed
First of all, thank you for the feedback. I spent a little while on the change up, so I'm glad you noticed it. While mixing this track down, it didn't sound like it would be brick walled, but it was. I do need to work on that. Overall, I am glad you liked it. Thanks again for the feedback.
you had my attention right at the intro domr30....excellent vocal...and I like the way you mixed it so that it is nicely up front and clear...beautiful orchestral backing music and acoustic guitar..it really is exceptionally well done....superb......Ed
oh yes the lady does indeed have a wonderful natural style about her vocal delivery..and you have it wrapped up in a nice warm blanket with the music...great listening over my way Dan......kudos to you on the mix too...really like the way you kept the vocal nicely up front..clear & distinct...great job & great listening...I could use lots more like this.....Ed
that drop bass to the break at 2:17 and 4:38 is great....good job on the main lead...sets it apart from the more usual arpeggio approach.....very nicely done Gerwin.....Ed
A good listening song starts with the lyrics & the way they are delivered....and you do it well SikStyle...like the piano too...well done....You can stop over for another beer any time...Ed
Hey Mark & Kyle....you guys could convert me to country....the way you do it is so close to Folk the difference doesnt matter...great work on the harmonies...but like all good songs of the genre it starts with the lyrics & the way they are delivered...and you do it well boys...I would maybe run a little bass in the mix but I can sure do without it....Bravo guys....more....Ed
one of your best beerling...carries the title theme really well...I have been absorbing a few lessons on the Loop today and I really like the quite minimal appraoch you have going here where every instrument plays a distinct part in the overall vibe....this is thoughtful stuff..creativity at its best (which is one of the reasons I love hanging out here wher I get a chance)......Ed
Hey Steve...just a note of thanks for the comments on Cloud Dancer...I went over to my music PC...muted the bass track (I used a simple synth bass on the version posted) and plugged in my old JazzBass which I am much more comfortable with...but tend to walk around a lot on....and did some different bass licks...big difference....I`ll leave the one I did posted ...but I`m slapping myself on the forehead for not letting myself do my old bass player things....thanks again...Ed
Hi Ed, thanks for the nice comments on Platform. Yes Behnam has really shined on this one and to be perfectly honest probably didn't give it his best shot which is scary! Behnam just played his part alongside my orignal posting of this song and sent the guitar work via email! No worries with the bass feedback. As I work alone its easy to forget all that I have at my disposal, or alternative approaches, or I find I get bored with a piece and go for a quick finish.
Kind regards
Steve
Hi SoleilxLune....you know enough about music to convey some very pleasant Sunday evening listening over my way...it does have a touch of the meloncholy...but the lighter sounds & high strings keep it floating just above becoming sad (if you had added a cello it would have really come across much sadder)...I like it the way it is...not too meloncholy...but certainly thoughtful....You did very well...keep on doing it....Ed
Aww! Thank you very much for your words.
Well, I think that this one is very (extremely simple ._. )
I've not been able to compose these last weeks.
University takes all my time.
Anyway, maybe I'll upload another song of mine soon.
Thanks for listening and comment :D
I hear a hint of good time Latin in that intro abnerbesares..hits a bit more of a traditional country beat stride around 1:35...Its good listening party music & you can put it in any genre you want...but why do I feel like I should go pop the top on a nice cool beer right now...haha....good work my freind...enjoyed it all the way...Ed
oh man...love that bite-yer-arse-off guitar played with a ton of feeeling it...its like a whole bottle of blue...and I mean this is just totally great listening to my old ears guys...I knew Behnam was a very talented guy...didn`t realize he could nail the guitar like this....and I must say you have it wrapped up in a big warm blanket of goodness sr....I`d offer suggestions if I could...but this is honestly just the way it should be...best thing I`ve heard today...congrats guys..exceptionally well done...Ed
