on Rectifier by MCHN

Your guitar loops are always so good, so when I see the title "Rectifier" on your track page......well.....I had to give this one a go.

And you did not disappoint.

Man, great tone, great clarity, and great technique. The drums are impressive too. Overall, I'd have to say this track is about as good as it gets. As for the tempo, I love the slower feel....but I'm an old guy and fast just doesn't work anymore, haha.

Seriously, outstanding effort here.

Bear

MCHN replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks for the review man. Yea I dig the slower stuff alot more myself these days. It waxes and wanes lol. I wish I could actually get a decent sound out of my Triple Rec. I don't record anything with a mic so the straight in from the head to my rig and stomp boxes becomes overkill. I mainly use just a floor multi fx with amp modeling, that then goes into the input. Also with the head I pickup so much background noise it's frustrating. Even now I get too much for my taste. If I could go back and redo this track I would use some of the newer techniques I've learned. Double up the guitars. Try to get the bass more in there. Boost some of the highs a bit more on the pre mix before taking it to final mix and master.

Thanks for the review man, also another drum compliment will always make my day. I'm horrible with the drum programming stuff. Cheers :D

OUTSTANDING!!!!

One of the best listens I have had in a while. This track is ready for prime time.

The mix is flawless. All of the instrumentation is top notch as well.

Straight to favorites.

And anyone named Bear can't be all bad :)

on SwampThang by Hutch82

Mad, mad guitar work on this one. I would love to hear the guitars a bit more forward in the mix (they are really, really good). Love the tone my friend....something that comes after 30+ years of work on an instrument. Bass line is outstanding as well.

I enjoyed the heck out of this song. Keep it up!

Hutch82 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Bear your a gent I'd love to go back and do some tweaking on Swamp Thang but I keep starting new projects and learning new production bits that I didn't know about when ST happened. Makes me grin that you liked it ah ha

Outstanding bass on this one....really nice mix as well. I have to agree with my friend Ed...

this one held me from start to finish. There is a lot going on here and it all works exceptionally well.

Bravo.

Bear

Hutch82 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

This started as a joke on my friend and escalated into this thing that was frying my cpu lol. It's probably the one that's a culmination of the things I've learned over the last 6 months or so still experimenting everyday. Muchos gracias Bear makes an ol' geezer smile

Another great track Vicen. Like Martin, I can imagine driving down the highway in a convertible, enjoying your music and the sunshine. This track works well in any language, and that makes it a success. Well done amigo.

Vicen replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

I'm glad you liked it. I made a contrast between the melody and lyric. Thanks for your feedback, and I hope you enjoy many sunny days and good memories.

on Leave Me Alone music and production by tza1800 by FullCapicityMuzic

Oh, I do love the "live" feel to this one. What a great mix of talents on this. I'm not sure why you are not on every radio station in this country, but if/when you get famous, if you ever need a bus driver/piano player/rhythm guitar guy.....well, I'll work for free, hahaha.

You seriously are one talented lady. WOW!!!!!!!!

Bear

FullCapicityMuzic replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

tza1800 did put that stank on it, and i simply loved the live feel too. i must've sent him "literally" like 8 emails saying, "wow", "this is great", "thank you", yada yada yada. i think it was mostly the musical production that made this as great as it is. thank you mr. bear!

on Village Song by princesean

I really like the sentiment this one presents to the listener. This would make a great video game soundtrack. It's easy to listen to this one and have a smile the whole time. You know you are successful if you can strike a chord with your listeners, and you have with this one.

Well done.

Bear

princesean replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks bear! I really appreciate your comment, it keeps me motivated.
I made a couple of tracks with your piano loops; I will try to upload them sometime next week.

Peace!

on Whacha Wanna Do Now (featuring MuzicIzMee4Ever) by Brent88

I see you have been prospecting for gold and found it!!! Man, this is so much better than anything that is playing on the radio. You have major skills Brent, and when you combine them with Mz. Muzic, well it is simply magic.

Brilliant track and my hat is off to both of you. Faved!!!

This is so good bro :)

Bear

Brent88 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Your reviews always brighten up my days :) Thank you for giving your time once again to listen and comment. We're definitely lucky to have the opportunity to work with a musician as fine as Muzic! All of her pella's inspire me and get ideas floatin around in my head, so going through with this one was a highly enjoyable experience :)

on I Didnt Mean It OF MuzicIzMee4Ever by acidic

Really nice job on this one....it's a fusion of hip hop and rock/metal. It has an epic feel to it. MIM4E has an absolutely wonderful voice. I'm amazed that this is constructed out of loops.....

everything fits so nicely together.

Outstanding effort.

on Face It by Twanna1

So, it isn't very often that I'm speechless, but I am right now :)

Your dad was always one of my heroes growing up. I tried to emulate his guitar stylings and have always fallen short. But it's the journey that is important.

He would really appreciate the concept you created with the guitar loops. I've actually had the great privilege to work with the guy who recorded those loops on a couple of songs. He would also approve of what you have done here.

Absolutely flawless in every way imaginable.

WOW!

Bear

Twanna1 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thank you again, Bear. You are a mega-talent yourself. I love your music. I acutally have your Looperman number memorized...lol.

As for my father, I miss him so and would have loved for him to hear what I am doing musically. His memory is what keeps me inspired. But I really believe in my heart he is aware.

It is truly a small world you worked with the gentleman who created the guitar solo loops. Here is his site where I got the guitar solo loops:

http://www.playinmusic.com/electric-guitar-loops-jeff-ballew-vol-1-classic-rock-rock-n-roll.html

I found this site before I found Looperman. Another great resource.

You have a wonderful week:)

on Broken Promises by Twanna1

Since I'm already here at your place :) I decided to stay and listen for a while.

I'm sure glad I did.

What an amazing collaboration. Three of my most favorite artists all together to produce an amazing song. This is as good as it gets.

This one is radio ready.

FABULOUS!!!!!!

Bear

Twanna1 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thank you Bear...It was an awesome experience to have worked with these two. It was all about the music. No "headiness" no egos...just music.

I had a blast:)

Much appreciation,

on Elizabeth by Twanna1

This was one solid goose bump from start to finish....you are so talented.

Your voice is remarkable, but your skills as a composer and producer are on the same level as your voice.

I just don't have the appropriate adjectives for what you have created here, so instead of trying to find the right ones....

I'll just stand and applaud.

What a marvelous tribute to someone who must be an amazing woman.
Beautiful work, and one I had to add to favorites.

on Angel in the ground Malumix ft Tacatta and Eshar by Kikajon

Well, it is easy to see why Malu is one of the best around when it comes to mixing and mastering. This is fabulous and definitely a song that Pink Floyd, or any band, would be proud of.

The vox at the 1:15 mark are a stroke of genius.

Hell, the whole track is genius.

Straight to favorites - \m/ \m/

Bear

Kikajon replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks Bear. Malu made a big differnce with his skills and I am really pleased with the result. Jim's voice is so right for this one, finding Eshars pella was a fortunate thing.

Had to listen to another before I head off for a bit....and I'm glad I did. Great instrumental, and I can imagine the track with vocals will be even better.

I think John was right when he said this one has cinematic elements in it as well as metal.....

another outstanding track. Well done.

Well done.

Take care, Brent

on I Need Girls (Xavier Qanta remix) by sigmamanone

The first mistake I made was listening to this one right before retiring for bed, hahaha. But that's the only mistake. Like Sean said, this is a really solid effort. Great vocals, perfect instrumentals....just a great track. You should be proud of this one.

Outstanding effort.

Bear

sigmamanone replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks, dude! I had the backingtrack in my head when I proposed a producer to help me out with this song. The best he and I could achieve was the original version of the song (which is also on looperman) I wasn't satisfied so I asked a friend to make a remix! And he made this and I thought: "This is what I wanted!" Magic! :-p
