on UPDATE Feeling Good Nina Simone Remix by SeriouslyJoking
Steve
Somehow funny to manage to create something worth listening too by almost an accident...
As I wrote to Behnam this was mainly for practising on how to use FL guitar sounds (and they are very modest here! =D ).
I also intended to create an instrumental for a new friend of mine who is a vocalist but it didn't turn out the way I intended so I used the pella from Nina Simone instead.
Well, glad to hear you liked it, now I have two fun projects to work on, this and the Devyn Rose-remix.

and even I think I could do more with the percussion on this mix as well.
go figure

(Mutt Lange..famous producer (shania twain-Def Leppard, ACDC) has a most famous quote for his artists he produced....do it again!)
Thanks again, Steve - I wish there was a way to return all your help.
on Pieces Spinn Off Reworked by SeriouslyJoking
keep at it. The only additions I can think of are percussive at this point.
Steve
No - seriously, I have to take a break from this tune but am coming back to fix those drums. Thank you so much for guidance. You are a great mentor!!

Ciao

Your comments and those of the others so far are the reason why looperman is so refreshing, I had really stalled with this one and decided to put it up for critique and valued opinions, which I really appreciate. I am very disappointed with the sound quality though...the final take will be better!! thanks for you time and valued comments.
All the very best,
Mark/Larry!

on Pieces Spinn Off ft Devyn Rose by SeriouslyJoking
"It seems my brain loves everything I listen to more than a hundred times - which you Always do while creating a new track. So how do I know my brain isn't telling me bogus"...
"Listening to this today after a nights break...."
The key is sometimes you have to take a break or your ears (brain) becomes overwhelmed with sensory input and you don't hear the song correctly any more. It happens to all of us and the good musicians and producers know that they have to take a break from it. The song Tension of Seduction that I just recently put up is a perfect example. The original is like 9:30 long and has cool ideas but they don't sound perfect. So making a whole new shorter version I was able to make it sound the way I wanted.
So a break down of this song in a way I might want to hear it.
0-15 good intro, cut 17 to 28 (too repetitive) 1:06 to 1:14 place a drum riser to build up to a massive 4/4 beat without the syncopation of the earlier drums. (A house beat)
end that beat at the breakdown at 2:01. keep the drums you have to 2:19 and then bring back the house drums with and added wobble bassline to the end.
The reason why I gave you the link to the Danny Tenaglia song is back in 1998-9 I became obsessed with remixing it in all the house styles of the day. My best remix of this incorporates a James bond theme chord change that works with a sinister bassline. But it's not worthy of a release. However I learned so much about minimalism and simple grooves and basslines and making a song powerful out of nothing I thought you might enjoy that lesson as well.
good luck with this one
Steve
It's sounding a lot better actually. And very eclectic...
THANK YOU, STEVE!
I'll try to finish it and upload in a moment.

Listening to this today after a nights break I hear that the drums are a bit cluttered, just a bit to me but maybe they are really all over the place for someone elses ears? They need some syncronising at least.
And the piano do rush at times, I wanted to keep the track short but that is going down the drain now when I remix it. Sorry for the ramble - thinking aloud. =)
Thanks for listening Steve!
Take care /SJ
Oh, P.S. - that Danny Tenaglia ft. Liz Torres - Turn Me On was FANTASTIC!!! Loved it completely. D.S.

on Loving You - Remix of Easy by Mat Zo n Robinson by SeriouslyJoking
Steve
Yes, it's the bass missing and also the overall state of the mix and mastering.
It's too long also...a lot of flaws really!
I need to look in to that bass groove thing more closely, I still have a lot to learn about that.

How you make me a better musician is not exactly about music itself...it's because you as a musician are purely Authentic. You don't do this for the ego you do this for the love of what you create. You also take chances as a musician but again not to make others happy but to satisfy what you like about what you recorded in the first place. so what you do is remind me that Music is about making sounds that appeal to yourself and not always others. It's nice to have positive feedback, but do you like what you created is really the most important factor. Sometimes I have too remind myself that that is more important than making a track that appeals to this group or that, and so i take chances by making music that I want to hear myself. So maybe it's a mambo, or maybe a techno tune, or some self indulgent wah porn sound...but ultimately I wanted to listen to that!
The development I hear from you is subtle but is in the mixes themselves and there is a slight sense of musical .. dare I say understanding from you. Your brain is processing music theory whether you like it or not.
Steve
Actually, it's not even that. It's more like an explorer (not so many about these days as most of the world has been 'discovered') who goes looking for new places just to see what's there, not in order to necessarily have a good time or gain renown as an intrepid traveller.
So, I'm just constantly exploring the musical and sonic soundscape and every track your hear of mine is just that. There's no specific 'here's me doing this genre' track though obviously I have to explore some recognisable genres. I'm hardly good even to invent completely unheard of music. It's all based on stuff that's already been done but I like to think I combine things in unique ways.
I've heard so much music over the years and there's so much that bores me so I have to make something I haven't really heard. Not make a half decent version of a genre just so I can say "Hey, here I am doing ___".
I'm oddly inspired by boring unadventurous music as well as
stuff that is good but could have been so much better. I analyse the ways I would have done it differently and then eventually introduce those improvements and innovations into what I do.
I believe I have good taste in music (ie appreciation of other people's stuff). If I like one of my tracks, I feel confident at leas some others will. So, please myself as much as I can and then I'll probably end up with something good and different. Always room for improvement and I'm my own harshest critic.
I'm always curious to hear what people make of my stuff and that's why I value your intelligent and interesting feedback. Far too little of that on this site - real disappointment for me.
I had a good track on Mixposure a couple of years ago that about 5-10 people really loved. Not one word of criticism! But I've since found so many errors and corrected most of them and produced such a better end product. But if I'd just sat around thinking "Oh yeah, this is so great and everyone else is telling me just that. I rule!" I would never have made those crucial improvements.
The main reason I like my stuff to be liked is so that I can eventually somehow attract decent collaborators (in person, not online) and bandmembers and take what I do to the next few levels.
Take care.
