on Sik Style - From Dreams by SikStyle1
My favorite point is the rap-part around 0:40: very tight and really flowing nicely.
Agree with the others: the choir adds a nice smooth touch.
I think you could improve a bit the way it ends: a bit too "sudden". And the first stop at 0:28 is nice, but the way the song re-starts can be improved.
All in all... you have a very good song in your hands man!
Ciao, Domenico

on Soul With a Capital S by ScottFranco
good track!
I of course enjoyed the guitar and the drums, nice "solo" at 3:12 ... in my headphones the level of drums is a bit too low on the rest of the song... I need to listen again on a bigger system :-)
Really like the bass part: is it midi?
Ciao, Domenico
ScottFranco
ScottFranco replied 15th Nov 2013 - 11 years ago
Thanks, Domenico. This was another that I had almost finished and thought of checking with Franco to see if he could add something to it, so he did the tasteful guitar parts. Yes, the bass is midi.

Ciao,
Franco & Scott

on Cant keep a Good Man down by topvega
Hi TV,
Good to see one of your tunes here...
I have to second what the others said: your production has improved. You still manage to keep that "live-played" feeling that I appreciate so much in your work, but this song is more polished.
Adding voice to this is not "strictly needed" as it works well also without, but I have to admit that I would be really curious to see what can come out of this with the right vocal track on it :-)
Take care, Domenico
topvega
topvega replied 16th Nov 2013 - 11 years ago
Thanks Domenico, I have tried hard to get better at the production part of recording. I must admit that on occasion I find it some what more interesting than the actual playing of the instruments themselves. You really get to shape the sound and it gives you a lot of creative room to bring the song to life. I was going to leave it without a vocal but Spivkurl has given me an idea to take it in a Doorish vibe. Might sit down and try and workout something in a Mr Mojo Risin vain.
Thanks for taking the time to give it a listen and for leaving some feedback. It is greatly appreciated my friend.

on EXCEPTION ft Farisha by MinkSoda
Hi WindCity,
This is a good track.
I like how you "respected" the voice of Farisha, leaving enough room to her beautiful part (a bit too much autotune, as she also says in the acapella's notes, but very intense).
The work on the bass is good: few well chosen notes. Good (in a bass line, the notes you don't play are more important than the ones you play).

Liked the piano: have you used a loop or is it your work?
In any case: very smooth and warm. Well Done!

I could see this song with a different drumkit, but this is only my (very humble) opinion.

Overall, a good track!
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Ciao, Domenico
MinkSoda
MinkSoda replied 15th Nov 2013 - 11 years ago
Thank you much Domenico- You enlightened me with what you said about bass lines; If I can keep what you said at the top of my consciousness when finding a bass part I really think the effort will be more efficient (.."the notes you don't play are more important than the ones you do play") ha! yeah, every drummer should know that!

The piano is from a Sony Creative Labs loopset

I tend to agree about the drumkit though...I will replace most of the drum loops I use by tweaking my Roland and playing them myself a little later.

Again, THANKS for all the insight

on 100 Seconds spanish guitar dueT of Me ft Mysef by deciBel
First of all, this is a great execution.
Clap clap clap clap clap clap... standing ovation to our maestro!
There is not so much to criticize: the part that I liked less is the beginning with the slow-down effect (I would not repeat it twice or make it more subtle, my personal opinion).
What I liked most:
- 0:28 wonderful how the two guitars work together (specially towards the end of the "solo" before the "theme" starts).
- Tone and expression at 0:59 ... the softness creates a beautiful contrast with the sparse chords you play
- the clarity of the execution: you are a very gifted man my friend, a superb musician and a very talented player.

I am so glad that you shared this with all of us.
Ciao, Domenico

I'm gratefull to see U've been here and thnx alot for your attention to my description & shared idea of yours in commenT.
Domenico buT beyond kidding I'm bery young to be called master.see there are many traX of yours(for example)too in which U deserve to be called Mastereo buT even U who is like
many of other grea musician older than me are too young to be called Mastere and if U pay attention & remember , I never called Ed or Barry or Franco something like Master bfore I underestand they are grandfathers.for me first indeX of mastership is having white hair & to be grandfather .and if someday I was a grandfather & still a good boy and be abl to compose or play masteship trials then maybe I can deserve such words..and about your ideas , I know your eleganT and public elegant too like less thos parts which I bend music and respecT ,yes , those could be played in normal waY,buT this game with the numbers of semitones is a fun for me as U know & I think I should have these error & trials about it to find the best numbers consideration way in one of my trials at last to can add something alittle new to music & repea because I wanted to track goes to about 100'' as the others 100'' of mine which U have heared and oh man U know lazy friend of yours who it's hard to for him to find the mood of something again if U see I repeated that.
and about those monets which U've mentioned them as posiitive moments I just can say this was such a hard calculation for me as U an engineer can underestand that how those notes are working that I believed I'm sick for making complicated harmony texture .it would be great if U may have any psychologist friend to can take a look to me , seriously,I think.haha.man take care & stay in touch in email Mr absent.___Behnam

on concierto de aranjuez by domr30
Good track. I really enjoyed it.
I think you could improve the dynamic range: the bass is pretty flat, the drums have some very good moments but in some points are also quite flat; I would personally try to have more dynamic on the guitar as well, but this really depends on your interpretation, this is your execution, so you are the only one to decide how to render this piece. :-)
Once more: I really liked it.
Ciao, Domenico

on The Fool by theHumps
Hi Wayne,
Thanks for this new gem. The song is very good, but what really stroke me is the clarity and the definition you have in your mix: outstanding.
Ciao, Domenico

PS: maybe you could also add a couple of verses... you know that I like how you sing and your voice would perfectly fit on this one :-)

theHumps replied 14th Nov 2013 - 11 years ago

Lot of "things" going on, good sax, intriguing guitar.
I really enjoyed it and I am marking it as a favorite to hear it later (since I cannot download...)
Thanks!

Good track. It sounds right. Good mix and a lot of interesting elements in a relatively short song.
Well done!
Ciao, Domenico

PS: I am really curious to hear how the technique mentioned by DJ-SLT would work with hip-hop... must be interesting...

on Fear H4110W33N by GoldenOokami
Good song.
I like your choice of sounds and melodies, interesting combination of "joyful" parts with some darker tones (eg. the glockenspiel mixed with the darker strings and the "hip-hop" drums)
The melodies bring me back to the early 80s: they could have been used in a soundtrack for a Dario Argento movie (definitely In Topic!)
On the mix side, very good job. To my taste, only the hi-hat sounds a bit "apart" from the rest of the drumkit.
That said, thanks for the good time your song gave me (I have already listened it twice!)
Ciao, Domenico

GoldenOokami replied 20th Jun 2014 - 11 years ago
I apologize for the late reply. I am grateful you enjoyed the track. I will redo this track though. The reverb is a bit too much, without a doubt!

on Those hands by janis71
Hi Carole,
Thanks for the nice gift... a new song for your wonderful voice.
And I love it!
Of course there is room for improvement, the sound of the instruments should be refined (have you changed the tempo of the guitar?) and maybe some passages could be changed a bit, but this is another beautiful song. Period.
You are a very talented girl, but you already knew it :-)

Un abbraccio, Domenico

janis71 replied 31st Oct 2013 - 12 years ago
Hi My dear friend :D
There's not room for improvement, there's a canyon in which I got lost, haha . Yes, the original tempos of Ferryterry's guitars were 140 and 105 ; and you're right, it should have been more varied ( shameful smile ) .
Thx a lot for your critical approach, Domenico . I do appreciate your pieces of advice and careful listening .
Hope you're fine,
Un abbraccio in return,
Carole

on GC GC GC DC by KAMPUTERA
Interesting experiment. The chord progression is "standard" but it is well played and the sound comes out surprisingly good (I am assuming you used the built-in microphone of your android device).
As Ed already pointed out, some clips here and there, but I am sure that "slicing" out the clipping parts it should still be possible to extract the loops you need to make a song out of this recording.
I hope you'll find someone to sing on it.
Ciao, Domenico
KAMPUTERA
KAMPUTERA replied 24th Oct 2013 - 12 years ago
Yep! Straight through the Droid's mic. The owner recently downgraded the recording quality because initially I was getting some awesome recordings. Of course, that was natural unamplified sounds. It's quiye possible the fidelity of the amp's speaker was producing overtones that the Droid couldn't handle. "LiveN'Learn!" I was ticked when I listened to what I got. I'll try runnig it through some filters to see what I can get out of it. Some mid and high pass filters should do the trick. Anyways... Good thoughts and thanks. :)

on missing you instrumental by Sherris
Good song. No doubt! Good work, well done!
The "caribbean" feeling is there and I really like how all the instruments have been mixed. Good touch.
Only thing that can be improved: the bass sound on the "high notes" is a bit too "keyboard like", but only in few spots (eg. at 0:34)
But I am now really just picking the smallest details on a perfect song.
I really enjoyed it!
Thanks!
Ciao, Domenico

on 100 seconds pianO for thinking to deaf people by deciBel
Hi Behnam,
I take the chance to send you my greetings. Hope everything is well man!

And at the same time I want to say thank you for sharing your "trials" with us: even if the recording quality is not the best, the music is very moving and deep. And that's what matters!
Often we are are after the perfect sound and we forget about the importance of the message.

I like the comment from SeriouslyJoking: it's like if the player is desperately trying to tell us something... something very important to him. And I think this applies to a lot of your music.

Take care friend!
Domenico

on Loving You - Remix of Easy by Mat Zo n Robinson by SeriouslyJoking
Hi SJ,
We have a good song here.
I really like the piano part.
I think you still have to figure out how to mix it perfectly with the voice, but please do not remove it: I would rather chop-out the vocal instead!
Do not touch that piano!
I simply love it.
Ciao, Domenico
SeriouslyJoking
SeriouslyJoking replied 15th Oct 2013 - 12 years ago

Haha - well I'm going to have to think about that. The vocal is of a very poor quality - not the vocalist and the singning but the the sample itself so it's hard to make it sound good in the mix. Or hard to me to do so, anyway.

Thanks for the feedback, Domenico!
Trying to continue working on this shortly.

on Oriental Opression by XmafaX
Hi Paulo, we have tons of good ideas here!
First, I basically agree with the other two comments: given the "speed" of the song, maybe having a more distorted guitar would be better.
I like the initial riff: it makes you shake your head... good!
Maybe here you could work on getting a "tighter" sound (not sure how though, maybe increasing a bit the volume of the bass, which could give some definition to the sound... just wild guesses).
The solo is good: good sound and interesting melodies.
Well done!
Looking forward to seenig this song with a vocal part!

on Make Me Go - Featuring Bonnie Rabson by ScottFranco
Wow guys! I am really getting spoiled: you two are creating a lot of awesome songs.
And this time the voice of Bonnie finds a perfect environment: a smooth and jazzy tune for her warm voice. Wonderful!
Only one comment from my side: I may have preferred a version without the brass-section. The atmosphere you build is really warm and in my eyes I picture more a small ensemble playing on a stage. But this is really a minor thing, the song is awesome. Period!
Loved & downloaded.
Thanks again for your wonderful music!
