on Step By Step 4 - Run Away by BaoBou
I got a real "Sympathy for the devil" vibe from this one. it's a good tune, as Ben has stated it's in the mix, levels, and finally the mastering where you need this song to be elevated to the rightful lofty status it deserves. I need those vocals brought up louder. the only reason they are not is that you probably don't feel comfortable yet singing. This is where a taskmaster producer comes in handy kicking you in the gonads to bring that sound up. I would also bring aboard some Ozone 9 from Izotope to widen the mix with the relay, especially with those guitars. and maybe subtly add in Valhalla Supermassive for some space. Right now it sounds like a proper 4 track demo made in a basement. I can't wait to hear what ben does with it. If you need another perspective I can always lend a hand as well.
Good work.

Thanks a lot Steven! The Stones and especially SFtD are some of my favourites, so I'll take that :)
You're right about the vocals, both regarding the mix and the confidence, and yes I'll work on both.
I'm very interested in the tools you mention, so I'll give those a try :)
And thank you for offering your help! You bet I will take you up on that, always much appreciate your work and help matey!!

on CityLifeish Featuring KingMT77-Drums by Jynxz
Chicago, sigh. It's been 1993 since I have been there. I think You captured it. And you have such talented production help. I love that percussion at 2:13 on. Amazing song and sound, well-done mate!

What's up Cru,

At first I read "1933", I was going to say "Damn, you're really old). Then I saw "1993" and I said "Damn I'm really old). LOL.

I tell Mark all the time he sounds just like he's playing a real Drum set. There is no difference between what he does live or in a DAW. He's amazing.

Thanks for stopping by and giving the track a listen and for the encouraging comments.

Hope we didn't disappoint you.

PEACE from the South East...

You're right, I guess If we were out there in an uncontrolled way, we'd be lost in space.
Thank you so much for listening - we're glad you enjoyed it.

on Stow Away by BraskoSama
Very upbeat melody. nice chord structure with that 7th put in there on the 7th bar.. What I would love to hear are some more intricate percussions and some build-up. Right now its a pretty straightforward house tune that has a lot of potentials to build on. So keep on this one mate, it's good, just needs some more variety.

on The Ether by OMaille
cool, nice asymmetrical pong on the snare. Great frequency spread on the mix as well. Synth pads are ethereal. Nice build of synths at the end to bring together the whole piece. Nice work!

on lo que hicieron de mi by Ashesndreams
Bonjour, raw and authentic. The subjects close to our hearts and soul will always make the most passionate music. I am sorry for your struggles. Not everyone in this world understands the diversity of us as human beings. And it is ever the more painful when intolerance comes from your own family. Consider us your second family that will embrace your talent with no strings and no judgment, we like you just the way you are. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

Oh my, that bassline was so Penthouse and Pavement (heaven 17). White boy funk (era tag)! So many good things going on in this one. nice Phased Pad. Catchy Chorus! Good solid tune mate!

Believe it or not, I've been trying unsuccessfully to get permission for a (non-commercial) cover version of (WE DON'T NEED THIS) FASCIST GROOVE THANG from their company for years...

Thank you for listening!

Awesome! Massively good production. Great Humor. Well executed. Nice Guitar tones as well. Gibson?

No but close, Epiphone Riviera, semi hollow body with 3 P90 pickups rather than 2 humbuckers. Gibson ES styled body though.

Thanks Steve!

on 4All we know by Jynxz
I do get a Zappa vibe on the vocals.
but it's that synth solo in the background that I love. Hypnotic and psychedelic as always, ever-changing and ever interesting. Great work my friend (PS nice use of the bongos, subtle but fitting) You get 5 Mushrooms for this one
Jynxz
Jynxz replied 24th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago
What's up Cru,

"SHROOMS", freeze dried powder or whole organic?

Hey man I appreciate you continuing to encourage
me to "Express Myself" in my own way.
(PS I didn't think anyone would notice the Bongo's)
It's real easy for me to fall down the Percussion rabbit hole never to be seen again. LOL.

Thank you for your listen and encouraging comments.

PEACE...

on yinyang by Zootman
It's like two different songs, beautifully chill in the beginning, and then it's like you had that double espresso, but it wears off and your chill again. Kind of a good musical metaphor for many people's lives on a daily basis my friend. Well done.

on DJ FREST x DJ ORCUN - Losing It by DJFrest
Dude!! here's what I like about this one. You have combined two sounds that I like, one being from Bulgaria (deep zone project) for the bass, and the Phrygian melodies and traditional middle eastern melodies like (Acid Arab) which are French. I almost wanted to hear the vocals with less auto-tune and a more natural sound as I love the mix of technology with tradition. very good, and I will keep my eye on you . 3 songs to give u an idea of what I am saying:

Hello Cru,

If I'm reading between the lines properly.
I didn't disappoint perhaps on the next track.

I really appreciate you stopping by and giving my track
a listen and especially for your encouraging comments and
FAVE.

Next track, for sure:-)

on Night Rain - Ambient Lofi in C by pseudoble
very very cool Mate. I love experimental sounds. But this has a cool cohesion. To be honest. I could not come to an equivalent artist's work to compare. This is unique and captures many of the ambient's world styles, but you have put it together in a unique solitary sound that stands on its own. congrats on that. Fav`d, a really poignant work my friend capturing the true nature of Ambient.

Very good, reminds me of early Ultravox with John Foxx (not Midge Ure). haunting maudlin emotional and very central-eastern European sounding. You nailed it right on the head Mate.
