Great piano work on this one!!! It has a jazz fusion feel to it....Jazz/fusion/hip hop. I like it.
Really tasty bass line driving this one along. I think this one would be a must have for any upcoming rapper. Hopefully some of the talented vocalists on the Loop will jump all over this one. Very nice ending too!
As always with your work, it is outstanding. Added to favorites. Well done Savino. I hope all is well.
hey Bear
thanks for explaining the "hearing is shot" phrase, at first i expected the worst and thought you had an accident or something that damaged your ears.
although i guess technically it's an accident, just one that creeps up on you over the years.
i noticed about two years ago that i hear slightly less on my right side, but it's very minimal still.
a reminder to watch out for prolonged exposure to excessive levels. i always work with headphones and i am especially prone to go overboard with the volume there. it's easy to forget as long as the hearing seems ok. and very comfortable cans don't help either hehe.
also thanks for your lovely comment. glad you like the piano. i have also prepared something this evening for you which i will upload shortly.
cheers my friend
James, this one certainly is magic. Great keyboard work, and the vocals are really nice as well. Superb groove happening here, with an outstanding bass line.
The mix is nice - great balance and width.
Outstanding job to all involved. I hope all is well.
Thanks for your nice compliments. I really was digging this tune also. Really has a good beat to it. I had the basic Idea I owe My03 a lot he totally made it happen.
I'm usually not a big fan of dubstep, however, if it all sounded as good as this one, I would be. I love the intensity this one conveys. It is so good that it would work well in film or TV. It isn't easy to paint a picture this clearly with music, yet you managed to pull it off, and did it really well. Added to favorites. Really nice job. I hope all is well.
Great pads in this one, they balance the tribal feel of the drums. There is plenty of room left on this one to add a bunch of instruments and vocals if you are so inclined. Well done. I hope all is well.
Domenico, this is absolutely beautiful work. Like Wayne said, you can tell you spent a great deal of time on it. Very emotional guitar work, and the vocals are stunning. There is nothing to criticize here, just 4:21 of beautiful music. The mix is really nice as well. A great track to close out your album my friend. This one got my day off to a wonderful stop. I lift my coffee cup and salute your talents. Well done. I hope all is well.
Thanks Bear,
I have actually not spent so much time here: I think I had most thinks "in mind" before starting recording.
Of course there are several layers of sound, but they are quite "simple" so I didn't have to adjust to much to have them sounding "OK".
Ciao, Domenico
This is so good on so many different levels. First off, your synth work is just as good as it gets (those little riffs around the 2:40 mark and again around 3:20 are so nice). You have a rare skillset (both musician and composer) and you execute your ideas flawlessly. Terrific mix on this one as well. Everything is sitting nicely, really crispy sound. Another outstanding effort from one of the best musicians on Looperman. Really, really well done. I hope all is well.
Ahh you are too kind Bear.
Believe it or not the Keyboard I used
for this was a $199 Yamaha. Even the drums, but I used a most expensive Roland Guitar processor to make some of these sounds magical. Mixed on the fly on a 4 track Sony It was fun to revive this one with modern mastering.
"Another outstanding effort from one of the best musicians on Looperman."
is a very high compliment from a great musican yourself and I am humbly grateful for that.
All the Best
Steve
I see you told Pat you used a pre-mixed instrumental, so with that in mind, I think the result here is quite remarkable. The most difficult thing in the world is to add vocals to a completely mixed track. Things are a lot easier if you have all of the instrument stems so you can mix everything at the same time.
So, from a mixing aspect, outstanding effort. Really good vocal work on this. Very nice backing track as well. Keep chasing the dream. I hope all is well.
Thanks for the feedback. Just like you said it's really tough to mix on a pre-mixed instrumental. I think the engineer did a pretty nice job to work on this. I really like the outcome but you know, it is always good to have a different feedback from different people. I am glad you like it thank you for your review :) And of course, let's keep the dream alive.
Another stellar effort from you Dan. It is always a pleasure to have you describe your inspiration for each piece. This song fits the image of a beautiful flower nicely. Really well done, minimal yet extremely effective. I hope all is well.
hey Bear. just discovered this comment. glad you enjoyed this and thought it worked with the art. it's my muse and I guess I will keep going with it. all the best. Dan
I'm so glad I grabbed a fresh cup of coffee for this one Dan. Beautiful work with the glass bow synth. It is not easy to work with an instrument that has such a dissonant sound, but you did so with remarkable results. My only complaint is that it wasn't another two to three minutes longer, haha. I loved it. Time to hit play again and finish that cup of coffee. This one proves that less sometimes can definitely be more. Well done. I hope all is well.
i'm happy you had a chance to check it bear. the glass bow was a little tricky - you have that right. glad if it was working for you. we need to give ourselves at least a moment of satisfaction for what has been achieved, because we are always pushing ahead, trying to get to the next level. glad you were digging it! Dan
Ah, really nice version of this song. My mom and dad used to listen to Andy Williams sing this one over and over, dancing along cheek to cheek. I used to play trombone to the Henry Mancini/Johnny Mercer version when I was a wee lad, haha.
Really took me down memory lane. You have great chops on several different instruments - a musician's musician for sure.
This one got my day off to a great start. Beautiful work from start to finish. Thanks for sharing. I hope all is well.
Thanks for the kind words. I think we may share the same decades. As far as being able to play multiple instruments. I would like to claim I do. But the keyboard is the only instrument I play. Thank goodness for VSTs to provide the sounds I need.-Thank you PDMuzak
Wow Kevin, really outstanding work, especially the keyboard in the funk section. Very nice transition into the dubstep portion of the track as well. I actually like the last part of the song...kind of like ending with the bridge, instead of the chorus. Great use of both genres. I think you have a future in funk/RnB if you so choose to go that route. Great work. I hope all is well.
Most entertaining two minutes of my day (something my wife says on occasion). This was really well done. And representative of many hits from the past. Like TG said, it took some talent to assemble this one. Respect.
I think this sounds really good, but I know nothing about house music so I'm not one to ask about the commercial sound aspect. I do know I liked it, and it had my head bouncing to the beat...and that's about as close as this old guy gets to dancing, haha. So, from my standpoint this is a success. I'm sure some others will give you much better ideas on what to add/improve. I liked it a lot. In the end, that is all any of us can ask from a listener. Well done.
Thanks my friend! I'm happy you liked it. Hopefully someone can help with the commercial bit. Making commercial tracks seems to be so easy yet so hard. Perhaps commercial sounds are not as easy as I once thought it was. Thanks for your two cents and have wonderful day!
Hey Mark, nicely done. Just the thing I needed to add to my coffee this morning to get the day started out right! Beautiful composition, well thought out, and perfectly delivered. Chilled as chilled can be :) Outstanding effort. I hope all is well.
Great to hear from you again, a big thank you and really pleased you enjoyed it. Even better that it went down well with your coffee!!
thanks again Bear,
Take care and my best wishes,
Mark
Beautiful work my friend. I wish it was a lot longer :) I also think it has a place in a film somewhere. Really well done (you might consider boosting the master by a decibel or two to get the tracks overall volume up a little). Those are my only two small critiques of this great piece of work. I hope all is well.
Another chart topper from the vaults of EpicRecord. Man, you really do need to take this show on the road (need a Bus, haha). Seriously, there is nothing to critique in your work. You just need to record these in a proper studio environment, and then shop the demo for the best deal out there. Really, really well done man. I hope all is well.
First off, great song. It has everything it needs to be a commercial hit...great vocals, great lyrics, great hook, great arrangement. The only thing missing is a recording done in a quality studio setting and some proper marketing (and a little luck).
I think it is pretty clear that you have the chops and talent to do this for a living. Do you perform live? If not, you need to get your azz out there and start playing in front of live crowds. Build yourself a fan base and see what happens. One thing is for sure, you've got all the ability in the world, now all you need is to put in the work to take it to the next level.
Outstanding job again, from start to finish. I really enjoyed this (as did my wife, and she's no bubblegummer, haha). I hope all is well.
Haha, thanks SBM :) I do play live on occasion, but it's mainly just been a hobby for me at this point as I am pursuing my degree in Environmental Science at this point and have been kept pretty busy these past few years :P But music is still one of my first loves haha. Who knows what will happen? Maybe someday I'll make it big, get to share my message to the world. Until then, I am just another college student making music in his spare time :P Thanks SBM, if you wanna download it or any of my music, just message me and I'll get you a link to it!
Smooth guitar work TG. I keep forgetting my Zoom pedal has the volume pedal.....I always try to mess with the volume knob on the guitar - this was a great reminder to use the tools I have at my disposal, haha. Just a really nice transition there. I liked everything about this one. Great groove throughout. Well done! I hope all is well.
Yes...It's so much easier using a pedal more so then the Knobs
on the Axe...
I don't find that the transitions are as smooth, I've got lots of toys
that I've picked up along the way, 4 different crybaby's all kinds
of distortion pedals, Phasers and Chorus's...
All of those sounds and about 700 more are in the Digitech RP355
Guitar Processor... And all can be Modified another 40 ways, so all
that other stuff will end up in the pawn shop, trade them for some-
thing I can use today the easy way...
Glad you enjoyed it...
FR, this is exactly what I needed to get my azz moving this morning, haha. Got a bunch of leaves to rake up and I needed something more than coffee for inspiration. Really solid work as usual. Not sure why you have 40+ plays and only one review...where in the hell is the love people. Anyway, another great track from one of the Loops most creative people. Well done man. I hope all is well.
Make that 40 plays and two reviews. I wasn't expecting much of a response on this really as it's just a bunch of loops really. My new years resolution is to get some better VST's and start making my own stuff again. Glad you could stop by and i hope all is cool with you as well.
FR
Very original and different, and definitely different in a good way. As Joe said, the music world is always on the lookout for something original, something new that we haven't heard before. This is very creative and like the others, I just wish it had been another two minutes longer, haha. I enjoyed this one. Well done. I hope all is well.
haha :D thanks man!
yeah I love to make diffrent things xD
Very maybe I will extend this song later on, now I am also a bit dissapointed about the lenght of the song, also the quality can be a bit better in my opinion.
tnx for the feedback :D
Solid, solid, solid work here. It's funny, what you think is raw, most people would consider a finished product. Your attention to detail is probably what sets you apart from most producers of EDM. I normally don't listen to house, but if it all sounded like this, I would be a fan. A great way to start my morning. Well done!! I hope all is well.
Thanks for the continued support short bus! I worked hard on this track and am glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to checkout the finished mix on my sound cloud!
Very nice cinematic track, something just weird enough that it would work for Q. Tarantino :) He loves this kind of approach to music. You've got a lot going on here and have done a nice job allowing each instrument the space it needs in the mix. Well done.
Mark, once again you prove your skills as a musician, singer, arranger, and producer. You took something that was really raw and turned it into something really special. Thanks for all of the hard work bro. It means a lot to have you take these songs and make them into something really special. Awesome work. On to the next, haha. Hope all is well.
Hahaha, not sure how I missed this gem, but I guess coming to the party a bit later isn't a bad thing, as long as I discovered it! Great slide work, and the harp is right on the money. This is one of those outstanding Southern rock songs, with all the chugs and pauses in just the right places. You have mad skills James, and this one illustrates just how talented you are. Well done!!! I hope all is well.
Shortbussmusic, Thanks for the kind compliments on this song. Sorry for the late reply I did not see you had commented on my track. You are dead on with Southern rock songs. Man those were the days Skynyrd, Molly hatchet, The Outlaws man and many, many more. It was a blast doing this track.
I really enjoyed trying my hand at some slide guitar.
I hope all is well with you and your family these days and if you are up to a collaboration hit me up with and email.
It is always a pleasure working with you.
