let me down (easily) by Blacklilyorchard 2 months ago
without trying to sound like I have a music pole up my arse, I sometime feel that music needs to transcend format and become more of a sound sculpture. Stuff like this has a heavy influence from artists like Talk Talk/ Mark Hollis in the latter days. Bringing emotion without interpretation. similar to the technique/style used in Drunk Girl Crying. And the above mentioned Song that saved the world.

dude you know I have amazing respect for you and am probably your second biggest fan but you did something thats a no-no in my books. ripping off velvet undergound is uncool. the chorus for femme fatale. being that you are my age - ish or older( lets say older to make me feel better) i should think you would have recognized it.

im guessing you caught it though just now and are in the works to fix it. in that case... forgiven

i'm only heavily critical because you are one of the best artists on iC and it caught me off guard. its such a good song so at least acknowledge it.

Ya I made the mistake of not buying the whole studio version of live when I had the money. Instead I had to buy a lawnmower....boo at the lawnmower. I really like the extra instrument you get in studio. Boo at the extra cost for the upgrade.

unleashed cyber dime mix by Lapskin 9 months ago
a little too midimacman-ish for me no context.. no continuity its like you just grabbed a bunch of loops from the ableton library and jammed in a mix. Must be one of those 5 minute compositions. I don't normally come down on people i enjoy listening to but you can do much better than this.


much

A Star by JHarley 9 months ago
john... I heart you. your music is inspirational. greatest respect. That being said....

not what I was expecting as a revision. The low end vocal harmony was out of place and it seems like a mashup of 2 songs. It went from dramatic to violent without context. I say this to you because I know you have the chops to understand what I mean. Its almost like an argument between 2 married people that inexplicably turned violent and ended tragically with the survivor left in a puddle of tears and possibly blood wondering what the hell came over them. Mind you... that could also describe most football matches.

bring some fluidity back to the song. I know you know you aren't done.

I'm Not a Star (part) by JHarley 9 months ago
simply unspeakable. seems more like the end of a song than the beginning. Its a trick I learned. When you can't move forward.. work from the end and reconstruct in reverse. then maybe just tag on a sustained note with a single word right at the end (same note as your first in this but a higher octave with some falsetto) of this to punctuate. you always have so much drama in your songs.
day three by Lapskin 9 months ago
[quote="Lapskin"]@Blacklilyorchard it is already on order smiley
word of warning.. some plugins and AUs have not been fixed to work in Lion but most 3rd party still work in logic oddly. Also some DAW controllers do not have updated drivers. You may have to boot with 32 bit enabled along with 64 bit (holding the 3 and 2 down when you hear the boot chime and hold until you see the spinny circle of dashes then release)

so does this mean you are going to pick up a copy of logic studio?

Jaded (New Mix) by MurphyMusic 1 year ago
i like most of this version better. Just a thought though. what if you did the chorus a difference way during the last part of the song for a couple repeats (low volume but still intense. maybe a little accapella with some reverb and delay only slow build up to a smash out finish.)

big finish

btw
this is a good song i was humming it to myself yesterday

Jaded by MurphyMusic 1 year ago
nice catchy hook.. there would be 2 different directions to take this. I would change stuff but thats a personal production choice. I know you can hear the awkward parts.

first direction. Redo some vocal tracks with a tad less flange/compression and a bit more natural reverb. Needs an ambient background Get some more flow into the guitars. Stronger bass and kick with some ambient reverb. most importantly.. up the tempo about 5 bpm.

the other direction is wall of sound with a few more guitar tracks all doubled some with small bits of reverb and feedback.

i think you just need to fill in that missing element to make it good though. sometimes that can be accomplished with just a solid ride or a low volume keyboard track with some sustain in the right spots.

dont stop working on it. i like what i hear so far.

got to say... reminds me of some of my stuff. just a bit younger. hehe

after loistenning to the rest of your stuff i am adding you to the favorites. you clearly have a handle on your sound.
