    Yes, definitely. I am listening again and there is some stutter in this track. I don't know what the problem is. Could be your DAW. Definitely lovely choice of Piano and nice dark chords...

    Sparse admittedly but nice choice of piano to work with.
    Interesting echo...

    Nice piece, is it me or is there some distortion? Is that deliberate?
    I notice this track was posted a while ago.
    I guess I should see what you've been up to lately...

    Oh yeah, this is sweet! Popped up on the "random" function, and I'm glad it did! Very energetic! Love the slightly acidic synths in here! I just feel like this track could go on forever without any fatigue. Quite a dynamic mix and arrangement that makes this very enjoyable to hear! Fine work! Fave!

    Brilliant use of sounds combine to make a unique blend that was new to my ears. Bravo. Thank you for honoring me by using my loop. It is seriously a thrill each time I hear someones creation involving my loops. More please, More.

    Yeah,i can understand the Depeche Mode comment.!

    It has that great old school 80's new wave feel for sure.!

    Awesome use of the loops that combine to create a very fresh yet old school type feel that i love.

    Nice work mate.!

    Thanks, mate! Your comment is much appreciated as always.

    I think I'm moving towards finding a 'sound' that incorporates old and new and the journey is certainly being fun!

    Ha! I think you might be right. Or at least listened to the same trance records! Did you have any of the Return to the Source compilations?
    Thought you might like this one. Kids are not so keen on the trance but eldest daughter always asks if I have written anything new she can listen to. She has a go herself too but doesn't always have the patience to see it through (she's 11).
    Look forward to hearing your old school number when you finished revamping it.

    Thanks, mate! I really appreciate the ongoing comments and support. Getting the right amount of reverb on Romy's voice was actually something I struggled with so glad it hit the spot!

    Hi MD!

    I'm working on an old track i did few years ago.
    i've started to give it an old school sounding Trance Track feel

    I've put up one old, but remastered track today called Outlands so i'm playing hard in between looking in to loops and looking in to the on going Geo-engineering of our atmosphere!.

    Peace my friend all the way!

    MagicDrummer
    Reply by MagicDrummer

    I like old school trance so will go have a listen! Atmospheric geo-engineering is a scary thing. I studied atmospheric science as part of my university degree and, as with most things in nature, the whole system is so interwoven that selectively targetting one part without unforeseen knock-on effects occurring is very very tricky. Putting less crap up there would be a good start, though :-)

    Peace to you and yours too BB!

    Title is very apt for this.

    Great use of loops,very nice.!

    Awesome strings/synths/base.

    This sounds real good banging out my speakers!.

    Love the atmospheric feel.

    good work man!

    Thank you! Actually, I think that most of the work with this track was done in the excellent loops. Xray intended these for hip-hop and I can totally imagine someone rapping over the top.

    Hope all is well with you. Are you working on anything just now?

    Hi MD!

    See,your hooked now lol!.

    I love the reverb/echo on the vocals.

    When you make a track from how it just feels to you inside as you go along,it's supprising what you can produce.

    You oviously have a very good understanding as This proves.

    Nice ambient chillout,

    good work mate!.

    I got me a copy coz i like it.

    Your on a roll man!

    Thank you! It is certainly addictive. I was playing with a track this morning and only just made it to pick my girlfriend up from the train on time! Have noticed that just because one track flows easy, it doesn't mean the next will, though.

    Is definitely a surprise what comes out of the computer as the loops go in. Appreciate your support!

    Commented on Human Kind ft Romy Harmony by MagicDrummer

    I loved it! You say you have a better remix?! Do message me when that comes up because this track rocks. Also, could I get that trance loop?

    MagicDrummer
    Reply by MagicDrummer

    Thank you! That is really kind of you to say. Romy's vocals certainly rock. I've just uploaded the remix to Soundcloud and will post here tomorrow: http://soundcloud.com/magic-drummer/human-kind-ft-romy-harmony-1

    The trance loop is from one of the Magix Soundpools so not shareable sadly. There must be similar on here, or elsewhere, though.

    Commented on Important ft CSoul by MagicDrummer

    Hello Andy ....

    For info, I also use Magix version "Samplitude Music Studio" among other things, which the particularity is to compose "live" with external instrument, but without forgetting all Vst, possibles and unimaginable, but also with samples, of course. Another concept .... A little more complex to use than Music Maker.
    Your second song I heard here, makes me think that you operate with much ease .... Continue, you are in the right direction ....

    Thank you Dan. That is very useful information to have as I like the ease of Magix MM and can't quite get to grips with FLS just yet. So much there! Samplitude and a Midi keyboard seems like the way to go.

    I appreciate your comments greatly as have only been doing this for 6 weeks now and it is a steep learning curve. Much fun too, though!

    Welcome from me MagicDrummer!

    Nice to know you use magix like me and justy for fun too!.

    This is good work mate,you may find your kids have lost there toy,lol.

    I love magix for it's simplicity,yet i still get amazed at what you can do on it.

    Good Track and elecronic is a good place for this,but i fully agree and love the trance feel,so it could fit nice in either!.

    Life,love n unity to you and your loved ones!.

    Thank you! I greatly appreciate both the comment and welcome. Magix is certainly a good starting place and helping me to find my feet. I have taken a look at FLS but it seems a steep learning curve! Have you tried any of the more advanced Magix systems?

    Hope life is good with you and yours just now.

    One love

    Hello ....

    Good harmonies, and the use of loops is ingenious and well controlled, but some small problems remain in the mix of the female voice.
    Wellcome here, and good luck for the future.
