on Your just a loop jockey by dimestop
So Musically, I enjoyed the laid-back vibe. You nailed the consonant-to-rhythm vibe I have been clamoring aboot to you for so long. So good Job there. Remember you have come a long long way my friend and are still growing. I like Cinco de Mayo as well and I am glad to see there is no lingering beef. You are both handling this in a professional adult-like way and that makes me happy. Now about those Spliffs. Come to Canada. We have the most open and relaxed laws on Cannabis. I prefer when I need to relax (at my age a Magnesium melatonin supplement works) I like a nice edible beverage. We are deciding whether or not to allow those (2.5mg) in the public like you would buy a beer. It's coming. However I do appreciate the 10mg for the home. Keep it up mate and pretty soon Drake will have beef with you ehh? Great work !

thanks for the positives Steven Canada is really relaxed about its use, seen lots of documentaries on the subject and i think you got it right. i understand its not for everyone but when people can go out drink copious amounts of alcohol cause a disturbance fight and damage property fight and insult police throw up all over the streets get locked up overnight and released when your sober with a talking to, no charge, but you could be sent to prison for smoking a JOINT, its stupidity. they tie everything together and think cannabis is the gateway to stronger things like heroin or crack. its just an excuse and ignorant, they been saying the same thing for 50 years theres no substance to these claims theres far stronger and more damaging prescribed drugs that do more damaged including smoking cigarettes

it was just a bit of fun the Cinco reference, he's a great guy in our community, no beef from me, just my funny side. keep listening mate :))

on The Unbegotten feat Twanna by Micky
Beautiful Intro. Bringing those vocals to fade in is a brilliant choice. Such a slick cool mix.Pardon my stream of thought-like approach to commenting. Such thoughtful placement of arps and rhythmic synths and guitar-like sounds. That slide guitar reminds me of some Chris Rea remixes I have heard. This song gets a Fav. This is just a really Tasteful song, excellent job at the end I almost had some Bryan Ferry "Is your love strong enough " vibes with a David Gilmour guitar-like twist.
Cheers

on Fortune Teller by spearcarrier
I like the song very much, I don't mind the tambourine in it but it needs to be consistent. Second Vocal, hmmn, maybe listen to some old Ten thousand Maniacs for some references. I'll get back to yah! Well Done

on Crocodile Tears by Cyberflares
Fit Like: Very nice Mate, I like basslines that are moving, like this one. Prob why I always have liked John Taylor of DD, and Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. You play like you were a guitarist Once in a day. Thanks for sharing this.
Cyberflares
Cyberflares replied 18th Mar 2024 - 2 years ago
Nae bad min, fit like yer self ah good now i hope.

sorry to hear about your mum and your dad being not so good fingers crossed he will be back doon the fire station teaching the young eens again eh.

ive been away for a year and half things fell apart for a while but i am back now lol.
I have fnd functional neurological disorder my brain aint working right after my illness but some would say its never worked right lol.

ah before i picked up the bass i always wanted to be a lead guitarist but with pins in 2 fingers its not so easy so bass was my choice. this was last ever band i played in and my fav..

i do like a running bass tho.

cheers for messaging me and having a listen hopefully we can discuss compression sometime.

on The helicopters by bringerofDOOM
I love where this is going, there is great potential to grow this one, be careful with using repetitive melodies, you need to break up the Percussive elements every 2 measures to give us some thoughts of what we might be building to. I love the analog synth sound, well done. I have found listening to others using such a harsh kick, that eventually fairing it with a crisp High hat adds to the tension. Good Work.
bringerofDOOM
bringerofDOOM replied 5th Apr 2024 - 1 year ago
Thanks for listening and commenting. I've been listening to a lot of old acid breaks and new acidcore. I thought of adding a high hat, though lately I've been questioning whether to conform to or intentionally subvert genre norms, or genre in general. It's hard to say.

Thanks again for listening, gonna catch up on ur newer stuff.

on Overthinking staring out windows by dimestop
Very cool chill vibe mate. Your next phase is to start thinking about Consonant expressions in your vocals. The best Vocalists have an innate ability to twist the sound by how they enunciate. (It's kinda why I don't sing very much on my work) Anyhoo. I am back. I needed a break to sort out family trauma and morning. I will be working on some new material in 2024. I have been especially listening to Clannad and understanding some of the more esoteric sounds. I did a chat GPT search for my name (Crucethus) and was pleasantly surprised by the results it gave. That has kickstarted me back. Warm regards my friend, always a listening pleasure.

dimestop replied 16th Mar 2024 - 2 years ago
great to have you back around and im looking forward to your new work. sorry to here about your loss Steven, never a good time for anyone, hope your all good my thoughts are with you.
i have really been putting the work in on music over the last 3-6 months, areas i have heard about but didn't really understand clearly sound structures stereo separation chord progressions key scales frequency ranges etc, so im excepting my work to sound better, also i usually sing from a lyric sheet, even though i know the words i wrote them but still use a lyric text for safety but my last two i stood up and freestyled of the top of my head, i think the delivery feels more natural then but i little more difficult too, thanks again for your support Steven its always appreciated as is your feedback

on Off To Collect My Bafta by dimestop
I like that intro fade-in. And I like that abrupt ending. I am glad you are having so much fun doing this now, it's nice to listen to your creations. Happy holidays to you and yours.
dimestop
dimestop replied 29th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago
thankyou Steven its always a pleasure to have you check me out, happy holidays to your lot too, im really having fun now simply because of how ive learnt far more on the engineering side, with a number of vocal cuts multi layered dynamic EQ de-easing reverbs delays all side-chained in, thanks for the shout on the faded intro, i use automation alot now as you probably know anything can be automated from a knob to a slider a vocal chop, giving you a better impact and total control of output and yes bro, i get far more pleasure passing on new found skills to others, just like you said to me many moons ago, your a colleague and friend i respect

on No Turning Back by Micky
I liked this one. The most pleasurable vocals I have heard on one of your tracks to date are really clear sounds in that department. I agree with you about the horns, what I have done in the past is to use a little FX magic, like chorus, a bit on the horns with an ever so slight overdrive on one channel will make that sound more organic. Great work
Micky
Micky replied 27th Oct 2023 - 2 years ago
Hello Steven, nice to see you here again. Thank you for the compliment. And thank you for the good tip about the FX on brass instruments. I'll try it out, but not on this track... it's ok for me the way it is. I still see almost all of my tracks as just exercises. I think I still have a lot to learn before I can get one really good track. Thank you for the really motivating support.
Cheers,
Micky

Bring happiness back... it never went away, sometimes it likes to play hide and seek for a bit. But it always comes back. Nice lyrics Mate, but it's Halloween soon, and we need a spooky tune from yah!

on My Time by BlackFira
excellent tune, melody rocks, I love how you change the modal structure on the 3rd and 4th measures of every Stanza/ Ask someone to sing (female vox) and the vocaloids could be nice b-ground, but do create some space by adding a touch of verb or shimmer on it and widen that track (relay). good mix , sounds like an even eq spread

on In The Air Tonight-dimetime fashion by dimestop
So listen to these guys, they have good advice for you. What I will add, is that Abba's Frida. Frida was solo after Abba's demise and her Daughter was playing this Phil Collins solo album and she fell in love with it. So she had her label contact Phil and he agreed to produce her solo album...

you should add some Snares that are Noise gated like in the eighties to make it more realistic to the aesthetic.
Swedish mega singer Jorn does a cool cover..

on 4-3 - The last thing on my mind by BaoBou
Ahh the mysteries of creativity, I have learned a long time ago, that sometimes when it doesn't work, another approach with no criteria or design unlocks the creative mind. I always liked Brian Eno's Oblique strategies can also unglue a stuck muse. Cards that will say write a song with the color blue in mind, can really make you reach deep into your creative mind without added pressure of results. So nice tune my friend.
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 9th Oct 2023 - 2 years ago
Cool, I'd never heard of those but I'll look into it! I am a huge fan myself of John Cleese's book & video on creativity. Not there's a specific strategy I wouldn't do, but just to remind me that the frustration we feel is shared even by the greatest creative geniuses.

Thanks for listening and commenting my friend!

Maybe Vocaloid could work for you. Or take this vox you created and treat it with Valhalla Supermassive or Fab's Volcano. But I like the idea you are pursuing.
