on Step By Step 9 - Take Off Your Coat by BaoBou

I feel the bassline drives this one. I also feel some 70's Quiet Sun ethos as well. Awesome tune mate (as always) Funky vibe, Vox is really good mate! Made my evening!

BaoBou replied 10th Apr 2023 - 3 years ago

Yeah it all started from a quick bassline. I recorded the bass loop, added some quick funky drums on the electronic set, some piano, and then the vocals basically wrote themselves and suddenly I had a song. Sometimes life is easy and you don't need that much effort :)

on Players by Micky

Just an awesome use of the Clav. An underated instrument.

Micky replied 29th Jan 2023 - 3 years ago

on Marten Run by krotan

Minunat! I like the complexity in the counterpoint of the composition. When I was 14 I used to try to compose on a commodore vic-20 using basic-language to create sounds. This is a master class in Midi! Thanks

krotan replied 10th Jan 2023 - 3 years ago

Yes, it's tracker music. Thank you crucethus!

on The End is Nye by Maj2

The end is never nye, it's only the doomsayers that believe that. C'mon, I have a world of new sounds for you to make mate!.. It's never over! It's never done!

Maj2 replied 6th Jan 2023 - 3 years ago

Hello Doc.
Happy new year mate.

on crazy by luvroxu

Well Done, and nothing about this tune is Crazy, it's so on point!

luvroxu replied 6th Jan 2023 - 3 years ago

Tysm! I named it crazy bcuz i added themusicvii's vocals called crazy but i removed it because it didn't match the genre i was making with it XD

on colethevii like a trophy remix by luvroxu

Cool, very Nordbeat-like and nostalgic. You emulated Reason very well using FL.

on Mind wide open by mudhoen

I think Manuela makes some good points on this one. My suggestion is to take the BPM down 5 to slow it down to a better groove. There is an anxiety about this tune that could be relieved by that. Also some more percussion ideas. like when you drop to the synths only, use a high hat to continue the idea of the rhythm. I would look to some of the techno producers back in 2000 who were played at Tresor. There minimalist style melds with what you are trying to do here. It's very good.

mudhoen replied 16th Dec 2022 - 3 years ago

It must be almost christmas getting these great tips and ideas from you and Manuela. I usually set my BPM around 130 and this one is 135 BPM. I like the jumpiness it creates but i definetly agree that overdoing it turns up he level of anxiety. I will go and try to play with the bpm some to see what fits better. Some extra percusion and hats are always a welcome addition if used well. Because i like how the drums turned out I kept some room for them to run almost solo. But again you are right about keeping the groove. I am very happy with your opinion. Love to learn from people like you!

Cheers!

on Step By Step 7 - Through The Clouds by BaoBou

Sometimes the best work we do is when we have an emotional goal, as you have presented to us here. The song is sublime, and the mix is great. I really like your vox treatments on your voice, it fits your style well. I could hear you play this live and extend the instrumental part as a coda at the end, sort of how Roxy does that on "More than this", or Mark Knopfler with "On every street". Otherwise Brilliant and my thoughts are with Cindi's recovery, Your a good friend to her mate!

BaoBou replied 15th Dec 2022 - 3 years ago

Thanks Steve!
Yeah you hit the nail on the head as usual. I'll work a bit more on the bridge (wherever we are) and the ending (I'm here for you) but this'll do for now :)

on draft 45 by phantomproduction

Love this, back off the reverb on the vocals, and it will be a perfect tune.

phantomproduction replied 12th Nov 2022 - 3 years ago

Hi Cru ! I had the vocals like that with lots of reverb, I did with it!
Thanks again for your stop !

Very nice, but have u listened to too Portuguese blues? Fado. That will make the hairs on the back of your neck rise. this comes close to that mate!

on Modnex - Bob Saget by Modnex

As Mr. Saget would have said to you if he knew you / "I love you man" and he would have meant it. Some notable ideas:
Draggit, Maggot, Wagyuit, Tagitt, Slagit, Baggit, Swagit, and gagit!

Modnex replied 9th Nov 2022 - 3 years ago

Thanks, pal. Yeah, Bob was a kind man, would have love to meet him. Baggit and gagit sounds super cool, wish I would have thought of those. As usual, thanks for tuning in.

on Made in 2010 by Ludwigbroo

Thanks for sharing this one mate, how do you feel you have progressed through the years, What do you feel you have learned? I am going to check out some of your later stuff as well. nice tune!

Ludwigbroo replied 16th Oct 2022 - 3 years ago

Well, I have become a lot better on mixing and mastering. Tho I can feel ive lost some creativity during the years. You learn from others, and start making music as others.
