| Hello Tab. Thanks for dropping by the Daug House and sharing your insight. While this piece has very little to do with your name dropping comments, I can appreciate you for recognizing it is different from other things. Recognition is the beginning of wisdom. That hypocrite word is an interesting choice...that sounds like music too. Glad to discuss substance anytime... Daug |

| Wander by Daugrin | 2 years ago |
| Soundhound, it's called "Wander" for a reason. Harmonically this is so far removed from where your head is I can't take your criticism seriously. Live players? Soundhound you have deep pockets! Wander would cost a small fortune to create in the studio and that's at scale, and you would have a difficult time finding players who had the chops. I love your comment about old loops being use, lame? I will have to check the freshness dates on those loops. Lol. Being able to recycle a classic jazz or R&B feel in itself isn't as lame as using an old loop on the session. Wow. I suggest failing to recognize the school is lame... Daugrin |

| Percussion is your thing Shaver, hands down the production on your drums is my favorite. This composition is relentless, driving, the synth work offers supportive color to the groove. Daug |

| Blues for Zamzam by Filmscorz | 2 years ago |
| Dueling dedications in the works? Tasty horn, even the Miles quote was cool. That percussive track is the gem, all our favorites in one place. Daugrin |

| Gently by Humaniversally | 2 years ago |
| Professional strength atmosphere and plenty of the organic sparkle, so lacking in this flavor in general, your technique is very impressive on the wind. Keep makin' this ear candy! My hat is off. Daugrin |

| You Saved My Life by Naaji | 2 years ago |
| Groove Thing. Bumping bass and breathy "distant femme" vocals, all that was missing was a sax solo? No confusion about the lyrical content here. Thanks for this post. Daug |

| California Dreaming - Finger-style Guitar Solo by TheTiler | 2 years ago |
| Silly good tile guy. Nice to pick up the vocal lines throughout the arrangement, I heard 2 John Hurt licks...well done, keep them coming... Daugrin |

| A Song For Milo by nitekatt2009 | 2 years ago |
| Started slow but became interesting just when my ADHD started to get scratching. Lots of familiar stuff but you pulled it off with style, the behind the beat thing is really your thing... Daugrin |

| Into THE MOUNTAINS by Morris | 2 years ago |
| Bella! Bravo! Gracias amigos, this post a natural sounding slice of Mexico. I wish my language skills were better. Thank you again for this lovely post. Daugrin |

| Thanks for posting this material. The Loon makes everything he touches his own. Daugrin |

| Duke's Return by JD | 2 years ago |
| Effective composing here, the lack of emotional release or repose is a problem with 5 sometimes but I guess range of emotion never was a feature of the source material, so I have to shut up there. Production values and execution were tops, nothing in the corners here, needs more ear candy... Daugrin |

| Fingerbang by pancake | 2 years ago |
| A mix that doesn't do the material any justice. Nice genre jazz, the groove is solid. Vocabulary from the keys is effective. That guitar player has some stuttering where the flying should be, but he's cold on the rhythm. The drummer has a great big pocket, he must be aces to jam with, you can not go wrong with him. Strong and supple with a little ear candy in the corners, sounds like he fell off at the end a bit though. Daug approved all around. Makes a fella want to jam... Daugrin |

| Lippedy Spit by JD | 2 years ago |
| Congrats to the players and admin staff- a job well done. The harmony doesn't break any ground but there are nice little statements on the obvious breaks that tickle the ears. I'd like to single out that keyboard work for praise, "Ahroo!," If he had the hip to play through that repose, he might have been the champ... I'm looking for more of this... Daugrin |

| Wild Mountain Thyme by Vixen | 2 years ago |
| Your version is righteous, this song loves your voice. Sounds like real longing in your voice, not just a reading of the text, I can't tell how refreshing that is for me. Nice arrangement... Daugrin |
|
| P. S. I Love You by bjmusic | 2 years ago |
| Effective reading on the vocal, your "dears" are close to perfection, sweet. Thanks for this post. I'll be back for more. Daugrin |

| Phase Dance by AcetyleneJukebox | 2 years ago |
| Line on line and movement, there is nothing wrong here. Guitar chord stabs are colorful, the loopy nature of the theme works as well, the solo section is pleasant and adds to the forward movement of the piece. I imagine it would be difficult to lay back with that groove...the bitter harmony section works for me as well. Daugrin |
|
| wup wuuup by Slupper | 2 years ago |
| Taste and tone, maybe a little bit of same, but there is a bridge for some scalar ideas that I think is outstanding for laying back, I can't understand why you chose not to make that series of chords for the core of yer axe work. Thanks for the post nice to hear this flavor again. Daugrin |

| Lady is a Tramp (with Uncle Moe!) by grathy | 2 years ago |
| This is so much fun, thanks for this. I have no idea how you pull this off. This sounds like you are having a blast making music. Great vibe. I really miss Ella too...what can ya do? I guess Buddy Bolden's Blues if ya take requests! Where is that tip jar? Daugrin |

| Fine Jewels & Mustache Wax by farfor44 | 2 years ago |
| Hi Ff44, lyrics were bright and have the destinction of being clever. Clever is cool but your mix has to be clever too, so the vibe matches the brightness of the lyric approach. I like the tune and the concept is not cliche, probably just right for the times. I would try to force some light and air into the mix. I know there was a lot when you recorded. My ear says too much limiting. This gives the squashed down flavor, I want air and sparkle. The group harmony was working for me, again there is the issue of no air, (I can't do them right either  The verby "helping guitar" could be expanded and it would toughen up the arrangement. Be encouraged, I'll be listening... Daugrin |

| ADDICTION by Barretok | 2 years ago |
| Hi Mr. B. You have this thing groove down. Production values were tight, I liked where the vocal sat in the mix but the dynamic processing took out the menance I think you were looking for there... Is this a masterpiece painted with a four inch brush? I like how it appears off the cuff, I think that the spontaneous vibe is really essential to pulling this off, any inflection is not better than the one that is essential, keep painting! I'll be listening... Daugrin |

| Backroad Stroll by peizoelectric | 2 years ago |
| Like jazz? This doesn't smell funny. Straight plumbing. Heard, and used all these loops before, but it's refreshing to hear them in a new context. Not much vision really, I like the the many joints, just following one another... Rewrting the harmony might have been nice. Many times application of theme and song develop make loops more satisfying. Daugrin |

| Morning Sunshine / Youtube by TheTiler | 2 years ago |
| Well produced. Nice melodic feel, the fingerwork is clean and well conceived. Makes a fella want to play along. Daugrin |

| Not Afraid, Not Alone by pharmakeus | 2 years ago |
| Lyrics are throwaway. I like the vocal approach, pitch mangling on the vocals is nice but too heavy handed for my taste, the vocal setting is suited by the technical approach. Something this fresh should have a fresh lyric. This is easier said than done. Great technical production over all. Daug's ears like harmony, and there is not much here. Reverb approach is cliche, maybe something subtle but unique, I favor a light touch. Daug thinks less is always more in the verb department. Daugrin |

| Again [Solo Demo, Female Collab Needed] by Stebbo | 2 years ago |
| Another high fructoss piano ballad, kind of builds up alittle, that's cliche too. I agree the female vocal would improve these lines. A pretty lass could use this vehicle at a supper club and shine. Your arrangement is intelegent and I detected a couple of suprises for the ear. Ear candy is always appreciated. If I had to make one suggestion: less is more, especially with the kind of subject matter you visited. Great production, you have arrangers skills for certain. Daugrin |

| Epic by Tom_W | 2 years ago |
 The melody is emontionally bland, but I dig the toy piano surprise. No cliffs or valleys, doesn't really build, I think the impression is "here is the music for ya." I can't recall the melody now, and I don't think that was your intention. Excellent performace. Nice atmospherics and sound/mix is vibrant and convincing. Well done. Daugrin |

| Pillow with Otsu by Daugrin | 2 years ago |
| 9/8, nominal key is A. The keyboard breaks are place holders. It's designed as a type on the floating pillow world of Japanese 'lore. One of turnarounds is in 4/4, just to make it fun. |
|
| Pillow with Otsu by Daugrin | 2 years ago |
| Designed that way for potential collaboration with others. The structure and harmony are there. The song form is flexible. I left the line get long so a player could stretch out and see if there was a connection |
