Thanks for the kind words Crucethus. Nice to start off with solid vocals like this, and these are very solid!

Nice, I am so happy to hear the quality of tunes lately on this site has been just amazing lately. You are no exception. This is a smashing composition. Thanks for adding this here.

My pleasure Cruce. Thank you for the listen and comment. I love this site because it really is quite a few top-notch musicians here, and their humble. Nothing like a musician with an ego as big as an elephant. Will stop by.

on Not Waving But Drowning by Zootman
Aces. The mix is great, instrument choices are also really good. Your mellow vox is hypnotizing. About 2:19 was a good tremolo effect stereo-wise. And then came back again at 3:00. A little coda at 4:00. good work.

Hi Cru, thanks a lot. Despite the fairly serious lyric/story I had fun making this one. Good to know you thought it was OK. cheers Chris

on Never Said by AtticElla
Again another sweet tune. I understand what you feel about the mix but that is easily corrected. Are U using Isotope Ozone at all? The vox from you works very nicely. You have an alto voice and it fits well in this tune. Lower the master gain and if u use Ozone 9 you can bring the DB back up with the compressor and limiter functions while maintaining the instrument space with a boatload of DB space. less is more. You have a nice musical aesthetic in your compositions. I really like your work musically and you know what you're doing composition-wise, itś really impressive.
AtticElla
AtticElla replied 24th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago
Yep, use ozone. 'Never Said' is mixed at about 9 LUFS with a 1 LU loudness range and -1db true peak which is just fine. I was actually referring to the mixing part I wasn't sure about but I worked it out in the end.

My voice is actually not that alto. I have no clue why here it sounds so deep, I since froze and flattened the track so I don't remember if I changed the pitch a bit to match my key. Some other people are telling me that the effects are causing that. Honestly, I don't see how.

Enough rambling omg. Thank you so much for your kind comment crucethus. Really appreciate you take the time to listen. =D

on pixel planet by bringerofDOOM
cool, Artistic semi- Bro-Step. I wasn't sure if anyone was doing that anymore. I like how you don´t fixate on any one element too long. You made this creative. 3:02 had a moment of sane arpeggios, but it was just a tease. Technically well-done mate! respect on the mix! I even heard elements of 8 bit in this one. You really brought the kitchen sink to the party. You must really be bored to toy with us with this masterpiece ehh? Great job mate and a nice ending!

"You must really be bored to toy with us with this masterpiece..."

Nailed it.

I like "Artistic semi- Bro-Step." Yeah the sane arpeggios is a teaser. The US interpretation of the genre is generally a couple risers, a couple impacts, and the "drop" happens twice over a two min period in a predictable manner, without much variance.

I wanted to make something that had a little more variety, even if it is dubstep as hell.

I'm basically bouncing from genre to genre right now.

Thanks for the listen, comment, and fav.

on Midnight Stroll by AtticElla
That Intro is killer. The vibe is amazing. I just enjoyed listening to this as a well-composed song. The analogue elements worked well.
¨'m having a sort of musical identity crisis at the moment and I don't know which direction to turn so I'm trying a number of things to see what works. Like throwing paint randomly at a canvas."
My advice to you this (not that you want it or need it), is to avoid trying to genre bounce, to appeal to the audience. but make music that you like to listen to. If it's good, an audience will come along for the ride. But at the end of the day, can you play your tune to and for yourself and enjoy it? I like doing different genres mainly because I become bored. And musically I like to listen to a lot of different things. This was a good tune.
AtticElla
AtticElla replied 21st Nov 2021 - 4 years ago
Doing a lot of thinking about this lately. I find comfort on knowing what it is I'm working on genre wise, like a sense of order, a structure. I don't do it to please anyone. No one seems to like genres around here. If I were seeking approval, would I continue trying to categorize music?

I also become bored and genre bounce. But again it's just because of that, boredom. Ironically, if I had a wish to start pleasing people first, I'd switch to a more mainstream genre like regular Hip Hop, RnB, Rap or Trap. Doing house seems to be a niche experience lately and that is the genre that's closest to my heart other than techno. Maybe I'll do some techno next =P

Also, if I were trying to appeal the audience, I'd be putting vocals on all my tracks, it seems. I like to use vocals, don't get me wrong. I have plenty of music with vocals. I just like my instrumentals as well.

So sorry for the long rant. Just had it in my head and wanted it out lol. I truly appreciate your kind comment crucethus. Your feedback is invaluable. Thanks for the listen. =D

on Fight by Nodog
cool, those hi-hats are straight outta 1995 and I miss them sometimes. nice bass depth. Nice techno. Future techno like VCMG made a few years back. Compelling tune with well-placed percussion and an awesome mix mate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oztKJLPj3S0
I mixed the two for shits and giggles (Same BPM).. and they work together amazingly. you should try it. You made an amazing tune.

Hey Steve always good to hear from you thanks for pointing me at VCMG I'm listening to their Wind up Robot track their work is awesome. Its always a good sign when I'm bouncing about in my seat. Keep fighting the good fight and thanks for making my day a better one bro :) Robbie

on Falling Apart by AtticElla
I really like this one, the vibe, the piano, and the vocoded vox were excellent. A very deep house indeed. What I would love to hear is a more boom or sub-bass underneath the main bass to help drive this sonically. the Vox reminded me of this old eighties tune from Australia.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzoMetD5OMY
Keep on doing what you do its very interesting
AtticElla
AtticElla replied 8th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago
Hmm, maybe I'm overcompensating. My room has a few bass pools that make me crazy and I also check my mix on a sub and it just rumbles the whole place so I tend to dial it down. Maybe I'm cutting too much...

Yeah, that song is quite the throwback. Fun.

Thanks for the input!

Huge Marina fan from before Perez showcased her ¨I am not a Robot¨ on his site. Cool sophisticated late 90´s house feel. Well done.
AtticElla
AtticElla replied 6th Nov 2021 - 4 years ago
Believe it or not I just discovered her from making this track and been listening to a few of her songs on Youtube. I wonder what else I might be missing out on? Many thanks for your comment crucethus.

on Anidote by MichaelMayo
Mr. Mayo, I had a real good listen to this one. Every generation has had pop tunes since the advent of rock n roll. And usually, most pop tunes are forgettable due to one of a myriad of reasons. (too sugary, simple chords, not very creative,formulaic, and now in the Millenial and Z era, repeating consonants in the song). But in each of those generations, artists use those constraints and make something that stands above everyone else at the time. Sort of like everyone's drinking grape aid, and you bring to the table pure grape juice. This one is special. I am very impressed, I hope you can get this tune in the right hands because it is a perfect pop tune. Myself personally, I look for uniqueness and creativity, and off-beat sounds in the music I listen to, But I also appreciate a good song. This is a good Song. I believe if you just played this with a piano or an acoustic guitar it would still sound good. I wish you success, you already have the talent side wrapped up.

on Henry Pascal Vs Luca Urbani - Non Sono Pazzo by HenryPascal
Tres Bien. How's the hand doing?? I like your voice, reminds me of someone but I can think who right now. I wonder how you would sound fully singing an octave higher as your low notes sound good. I would love to hear you produce an electronic version of prisencolinensinainciusol
Poke something!
Ciao
HenryPascal
HenryPascal replied 3rd Nov 2021 - 4 years ago
ahahahahahah prisencolinensinciusol! i really like it, but i can't reply Adriano Celentano unique style aahahahaha. Hand is fine, broke nail is grown as new, i don't feel any pain (maybe just a bit when humidity increases). About my voice... is heavily treated electronically in post production, because my original timbre is deeper. Thank you so much for listening!

Nice song. it's on the edge of vapourware but those vocals bring it all together. I especially liked the slight bit of overdrive you put on the vocal treatmenst. cool tune.

sirefox replied 3rd Nov 2021 - 4 years ago
Hola amigo Steven, te agradezco tu apoyo y tu tiempo, la voz ya venía con esa ligera saturación, lo que me gustó por la sensación de ensoñación que desprendía, solo me dedique a ponerle una base electrónica un poco saturada que mantuviera ese estado atmosférico de ensoñación. Buen día compañero. Paz y salud.

Pure joy Mate. Whats your thoughts on the Cavendish going extinct. Or do you prefer Saba cultivars?
Good song.
BananaLu
BananaLu replied 25th Oct 2021 - 4 years ago
crucethus i never thought i will encouter a wise man of banana culture on Looperman :) Now you have my respect.
I´m really worried about the production in south america and around the world. I think our generation will be the last to taste Cavendish and all the years of trying to fight against the nature made them vunarabel. Thats sad. But I´m a huge fan of Saba Cultivars. i can used it for regular meals and a like a candy treat and when i go on stage i tape my mic on a banana and can even entertain people with it. Love and greeting from a banana

on Wait For You by BradoSanz
First of all, welcome back. I really liked this tune, it reminded me a bit of a David Sylvain track that he did a few years back that had this sort of Americana travelling vibe that your song also has.

on Rhythmatic by Jynxz
Awesome, the psychedelic sounds and arrangement was amazing. That vox at 1:10, surprised the s**t out of me. Cool synth solo. There was a lot of thought brought into this mixing a few genres. Itś retro and future at the same time mate. A job well done. Its way too short, that fade out made me believe there was more to come ehh?
You have earned two White rabbits, a bunch of Moby grapes and a Fink Ployd tee-shirt complete with mustard stains.

Hello Cru,

I apologize for the late reply.

Nursing assignment, plus her birthday

time this week(If you know what I mean):-).

I really appreciate your encouraging comments and
I'm looking forward to the "Fink Ployd tee shirt/with mustard stains.

BTW... Since my wife has been home I've been living on the Moon just in case you need an address to send my tee shirts. "-)

I like this one, cinematic in nature. I like how you filtered the beginning. Sort of as an alternative to bringing in military snares from a distance and then brightened the instruments in the end. good work

on Disappointing Crucethus by Jynxz
¨I don't know V.,
if you realize how intimidating it is when
you first get on LM and hear guys like you Cru and many of the other great sounding music producers that were here on LM when I first came on board in 2019. I have received nothing less than a warm welcome and tons of helpful advice from the LM community. I plan to pay it forward as best I can with whoever I come in contact with
new or old.

Thank you for your listen and encouragement
it goes further than you think.

PEACE...So Jynx, I can honestly say I felt the same way as you when I joined in 2012. And I was lucky to find a great group of musicians in the early days who gave the right advice and which many have moved on. So I get where you are at, and believe me it is humbling to be put into the echelon you have described that you think we inhabit. Truth be told you guys the new group coming up are amazing for many reasons, mostly for the support and camaraderie you have for each other, but truly for the respect, you have for us dinosaurs. the respect goes both ways, and know that I truly appreciate what you are bringing to the table musically. Thanks for listening and appreciating. You guys have such talent and itś a pleasure to listen to it.
