Jiggy Man by sammydix 1 day ago
Great track, plenty of feeling and that laid back Reggae groove is nice.
Higher Ground (Cover) by seasky 1 day ago
Facinating take on this Stevie Wonder track. I am presently working on an arrangement of this with female vocals for the band I am in but it is going to be an uptempo version.

That Nord is sounding good. They seem to have very bright sounds but I guess that can be adjusted by the user.
Memories Please by lazyjane 6 days ago
This is a great little song and a well produced mix. I could imagine this being used for a TV ad probably for a bank or insurance company.

Dance of Insanity by KennethLavrsen 17 days ago
A great showcase for those big drums. It is sounding good through my speakers. I have tried playing in drums live from pads but I end up spending too much time tidying it all up afterwards.
Time After Time (cover 2) by theironsaul 17 days ago
A very memorable song to start with, even Miles davis had a go at it. It works really well as a duet and you have produced a fine version.

Rain, Rain, Rain by KennethLavrsen 1 month ago
The bassline goes well with those quirky chords. At first I thought there were some 2/4 bars in there but I don't think there are any.

La Sagrada Familia (cover) by thsantac 1 month ago

10 out of 10 by wayne1voice 1 month ago
You have a great voice and you chose the perfect track for laying down a Ska groove. I still can't figure out if you are saying loops or no loops. Looking forward to more.
Lonlier Than That by sammydix 1 month ago
Great song. You have some very clean drums here with a crisp studio sound. They do sort of dominate the mix so you could bring up the other instruments by the use of effects and stereo spread if you wanted to go for the Smooth Jazz sound.
Night on the Mississippi by Narananda 1 month ago
A prime time TV documentary called "The Mighty Mississippi" is now running in the UK. Your music and the artwork really evoke a sense of majesty and mystery that befits this river.

I'M GETTING FUNKY by KCsGROOVE 1 month ago
Nice track and a very mellow combination of the guitar and electric piano.
Theme from August Moon by zincshed 1 month ago
Thanks for your comments. @shadesofdown I have tried various ways of filling out a midi soundtrack. Sometimes I bounce all the tracks to audio so that I can apply audio effects. In this case I only bounced the guitar track.
@Telemetry The drum kit patch I use has a stereo spread built in and it does help to give a stereo feel to the mix.
@RichardJohn I am not all that happy with some of the midi voices I end up using. I find electric guitar especially difficult to voice up so I do try and get real guitar on my tracks if I can. I have yet to try a VST Guitar plugin.

Scarborough Fair/Canticle (Cover) by Lightning31 2 months ago
A well crafted interpretation. I always wondered why a traditional song was attributed to Paul Simon but it is the Canticle with lyrics from "The Side Of A Hill" that gave Paul Simon the copyright.

Weep, O Mine Eyes (this time with real voices, not midi) by schubertiad 2 months ago
Exquisite sound and harmonies.
Mamacita by Dawgs4Kats 2 months ago
A very authentic Latin groove. Are you intending to use this as a reference track that you play through the PA? It sounds more like a studio recording than a live recording. Not too sure about the enhanced bass on this. It sounds a bit boomy on my hifi speakers and seems to be kicking in compression on the track. You asked for comments I hope this helps.
Historia de la silla by macoconuts 2 months ago
A lovely traditional sound on this performance.

Miss Otis regrets. by painfaker 3 months ago
I have played this live from a fake book before but I never had any idea it was written by Cole Porter or covered by so many Jazz artists. Thanks for this interpretation. it is well suited to Folk or Country especially given the lyrics.

Working on a Memory by nlsn 3 months ago
A smooth performance. There is a definite cut in the high frequencies. I don't know if this is deliberate or if it is just you getting to terms with your DAW. Good luck with Logic.

DubStep by tgallivan803 4 months ago
I do listen to dubstep but so much of it seems to me to be following a formula and using the trendiest sounds and effects. This I like it is a bit different and original.
