Helter Skelter by RayLaVeau 1 month ago
Thanks Markeaux_ Yes the compression is a little much with the already compressed aac file too.. I am going to be re-working a "digital" pro tools version without outboard gear, this version is set in stone because I have no more studio time in that class, but I do have the raw files that will be a future "B" version..
Thanks for listening. I appreciate it.

Strychnine 2011_"live" by RayLaVeau 5 months ago
Thanks Julian... I love the new melody, I also made this my "Re_write" I had to do for a songwriting class.. I swear I just finished it on This last Thursday literally (well the re-record of the lead part so it would be an official rewrite) Glad you like.
Strychnine 2011_"live" by RayLaVeau 5 months ago
Yea I rearranged the entire song basically, made the melody a little more groovy and the rhythm guitars a little clearer with some riffage in there as well. and obviously took out the wah.. this is straight from the board eq on the drums and the bass was recorded direct....let me know what you all think. Thanks for listening

Vitamin B by RayLaVeau 1 year ago
You guys are worthy, just wish I could put em out as often as I think em up, I swear I must have like 20 songs I can't seem to finish up, better yet I'd like to get paid to do this but it just doesn't always come up in the cards for us sometimes ya know? I am so grateful that you all like my music and I get a rush everytime I get a comment on something I've created. Thanks for listening to my attempts to write what I feel inside at certain moments in my life and just a fair warning to those who have been listeners of my music... I'm creating a new venture into the psycho thing and it should be up by Sunday ... Oh and typing on an iPod sucks lol

FALLEN ANGEL SUITE (A Composition for Modern Dance/Ballet) **FINAL MIX** by SoulSurvivor 1 year ago
Very cool piece, you know Im a sucker for a concept and this is exactly right down my alley, the kind of music that tells a story and after reading what you wrote it all fits perfectly.
Bravo... well done.

update.. i know its an older piece, but Ive kinda been out of the loop for awhile smiley
Ac4 The flight of the Eagle by MusicLeft 1 year ago

Summer in Winter (instrumental with PICS!) by Ignoramus 1 year ago
Like the chord prog in the beginning.. nice changes there. Cool concept piece, you know how much I dig those smiley
Sorry to hear about your mac, shame, but ya we will still accept you here.
Im learning cubase in a midi class I'm taking and believe me no matter how "powerful" it may be, I prefer Logic personally for all around sheer ease of use.
Hope you get through your new transition with no problems and look forward to hearing some new stuff from you.

Thank you. The loops on this one, if I can remember right is from Simon Phillips I think, in fact I am sure of that, do a search for them.. really solid drumming.

Strychnine_Re-Mastered by RayLaVeau 1 year ago
Thanks KC, when I originally recorded this I had a custom Charvel with a Dimebag Darrel pickup and that thing had sooo much gain in it, I was diggin on the growl I got from it so I probably didn't notice how loud they were ... lol anyway thanks for the comment, I appreciate it.

Return of the Enigmatic Ch. 1-3 by RayLaVeau 4 years ago
Wow, thank you for the comments...I love hearing peoples reactions to my madness...hehe
That was an awesome description herr and ashley thank you for the kind comment as well, ya the drums were a bit of a bit..h to get right when you have major distorted guitars, I would like to re produce these again sometime, but the ideas kept flowing out of my head and I rushed them a bit in production.
I just wanted to get this out since it took me over a year to come out with another piece to the original, I may hold off on the third act of this for awhile as well until I get it right, also so I can do some other tunes that arent quite as in depth mentally for me. smiley
I appreciate the comments and believe me the idea of this took longer than the actual writing, I probably rehearsed each piece about 10 times before recording it and some just came out of me.
All the solos were done in one take on each song ( I usually like the first thing I do, because the freshest ideas seem to come out of me after playing all the rhythms first)
The thing that took the longest was finding the right effects and sounds, which I still am not truly happy with, I would love to do something vocally over this at some point in my life, but hey...time is the actual enemy for me at least, so finding it and the right words and right person to do it is a killer.
This second act was not as in depth as the first but like I said it just started coming out and I had to go with it, so there are a few flaws here and there but all in all it was a valiant effort for me hahaha
so thanks again to those who listened and will listen.

This is nice, great orchestration and full of drama ...yes
They (the samples) arent bad, I own EWQL SC and Im very happy with them hard to control and massive cpu usage, but still worth investing in when doing symphonic music.

Time's End by anitric2000 4 years ago
5

My only real crit is I d like to hear some percussion in there...rolling cymbals a few timpani hits a celeste? or not..(personal favorite here..lol)
cool composition, maybe some deeper bass, cellos or Double bass would be cool (or even a synth bass), and some bigger brass when the perc. hits...but really it is still a great concept
Thanks for sharing...I still need to start sharing my orchestral stuff soon...so you'll know Im not just some guitarist spoutin at the mouth...haha

You Won't Break Me Remix by Geechi3 4 years ago
"It was 1988, a cold late November evening I get out of my care and entered into City Lights. It was around 9:45 PM, the night is still young. I was getting into the music and decided to light up a red at the same time I caught Geechi3 at the corner of my eye. I turned my head and took a sip of Tanqueray and OJ. I then noticed how the music lite my glass, which came from the DJs multi-color, laser lights.

I waited for Geechi3 attention. I get it, yes, I carried my voice over the bar stools, a little way and said, pointing to the PA system,is that you? She then takes a tiny puff from her cigarette, gently blows the smoke, and says,Yes. I then told her, I like it.. She looked straight at me with her deep Hershey color eyes, you know, that three second look that a women gives a man, and she said How much?...like the voice in her recording.

Great Job!

~Doc
