i have to say i really enjoyed this piece...i particularly think you did a great job with the lead guitar...both in execution and sound-wise...and yes! that's a very beautiful ambient harmony you found, and very well blended with those eventual strange notes on your lead guitar...
dude thanks for singing on top of this tune! i totally love it...i can't believe you even sang on top of the jazzy part, amazing! great autotune vocals mate, and superb vocal harmonies...again, thanks, i really like the melody you came up with and your voice sounds really cool!
another amazing song...i have two questions...how do you make trance sound with such variety? i mean, trance has some "typical" chord progressions, and you still make your songs sound very different one from another...and, how do you get that "hissy" sound from vocals? i've never been able to get it...you nailed it!
Thank you very much for the nice review. Well I like to create my own sound. I like the warmth by using warm chords... ;) I don't do much with vocals but you can make it sound clearer by increasing 2-4 Khz in your EQ and with a good reverb...
amazing sound and composition dude...you totally dominate synths sound and mixing for this genre...if i may just point something out, in my personal opinion, your kick and bass tend to feel a bit muddy...have you tried removing subs while mastering with a high pass filter around 40-50 Hz? it should help a bit...the rest sounds amazing!
congratulations buddy, you're really talented! i can hear a very cool use of side chain and ducking...gives it a deep bouncy accent to the synth, nice work
hey man, really good work on this one! you really know what you're doing...the composition itself is very good, i like it a lot...and the vocals fit very good as well, great mixing, i particulary like the delay on the vocals...if there's something i had to point out it would be that the whole beat could feel a little tighter and "bigger"...i would suggest adding a LOT of compression on the kick and the clap snare, and maybe cut a bit of the high frequencies on the kick, i hope it helps for your final mixing.
dude, you've nailed that motorway sound in this one...you've also managed to add a very mellow side to it with some great melodies on that lead guitar...seamless composition and arrangement...great tune, my man!
Thanks Rmy for listening and giving a review. Good to see you back in looperman...appreciate your comments about the mellow sound of the lead guitar. Hope to hear some new stuff from you soon....my man..
hahaha, ca fait bien l'effet des plusieurs voix! oh, i got carried away...whoever remixed this has got some serious talent!a serait bien d'couter ta version, great work!
My version also had the funny pop side but without going all the way down! Anyway i tried to play this song live with my band once and it was one of our worst performances...
i like this song...it's got a nice 'back to the basics' rock feeling...nice lyrics too, lol! i like very much the sound of the rhythm guitar and bass, but i'd work on the lead guitar sound, and turn the voice a tiny bit down...Great work nonetheless! you can tell by listening to this it's a studio work, which seems to be something bands aren't interested on nowadays, so keep up the good work!
once again, i'm blown away by your music...thank you for sharing your compositions with all of us, and thank you for making me want to become as good as you...
dude, this is amazing...i love the arrangement, and sweet piano playing! great and smooth walking bass you got there...thanks for this one!

(as tony the tiger would say...) it was a great idea to have a steady beat played over a triplet-feel piano...adds to the already emotional feeling of the song, and of course, that's a gorgeous violin sound, congrats on this one!
I appreciate ur kind words! Its a nice comment! And yeah it is great to play a steady beat over a triplet-feel piano! Tony the Tiger was a wise guy! ;)
Thanks for takin time to review!
Greetz and take care

an anti-pop screen is basically a layer of thin fabric you put in front of the mic so it doesn't capture the excessive amount of energy from impulses, like the p's and t's, preventing it from reaching its headroom, thus from clipping. If you're interested, check this link, i just found it, tells you how to make your own anti-pop screen, lol!
this is a nice display of a really creative use of loops, very nice song! (i never miss an episode from the office! though i have to watch them on the internet, 'cause here, they're aired with a huge delay...bummer)

amazing...lots of emotions in such a "simple" major progression...you certainly added the right feeling to it with your voice, good work!
this song shows some serious editing and mixing skills...you've become a personal influence for my future works...thank you (if i might just point out a small detail, i think you over compressed the guitar, or at some points it sounds like that...but for being your second song ever, hell, you're way better than me!)
damn...this is a great track...love the banjo and guitar playing...and bass, an drums, and hell, everything...superb mix, flawless playing...excellent work!
Hi there Miots, Thanks for stopping by and checking out the first tune I uploaded on here. I appreciate the comments very much. I love country music as that is basically where my roots are.
I am working on another one now featuring a nuber of instruments, including some Cajun fiddle music thrown in. Thanks again, Randy
nice tune...i like the sound on the guitar...it's an electro-acoustic guitar plugged directly to your sound card, dubbed and panned, right? it's got a nice sound, and you got've got a nice steady strumming...not very usual among guitar players, hehe...i agree with the tempo changes, they're a bit too edgy, but it's a good concept overall...oh, and about the mic, it sounds like a condenser mic...those are pretty sensitive, so try not to sing too close to it, or turn your head away from the mic when saying p's and t's to avoid popping...or you can get an anti-pop screen, lol. Good Song
this track has a very well achieved heavy sound...it's not easy for me to get a nice warm and full sound and yet keep a clear image when working with heavily distorted guitars and bass like these ones...great riff too, congratutalions
i like this...i like it indeed...it's got a solid, melodic base with those crunchy guitar chords and steady drums; it think it's an interesting start point...now, minor flaws i found : the mix is very good for the first 2 minutes or so (except maybe a bit too dry drum set), but then it got a bit muddy, and it's a bit too repetitive...but as i said before, i really like the foundation, i'm sure you'll come up with some interesting turning points for this song, nice work
very nice work here dude...the song kind of sounds to me a bit like Dream Theater's Sacrificed Sons, specially because of the speech on top of the music, and it's got a bit of a prog feel to it. Very nice editing work fellow! i never noticed a single chop or wrong sounding transition! congratulations
