  1. Loved it. Jazz carnies at their most unpredictable telling a hepcat story. Everytime I click on a song of yours - no clue what's behind door # three. Love that. cheers, -Tom
  2. I agree with Mr. Sprouse, the contrasting timbres keep it interesting. Well chosen. Sorry but gas giant made me think of myself after dinner. Your soundtrack doesn't work at all for that. I always enjoy whatever space your songs are in. cheers, -Tom

    OH LORD

    That is a very clear and smooth vocal performance, and with the lyrics create a moody brooding vibe. Well done. For a mix idea, maybe that constant 16th hi hat could drop in and out. nice one! cheers, -Tom
  4. So many curious and wonderful things. Love the early Talking Heads vibe. Enjoyed vocals with the reverb coming on and off. I wonder if you could have fun with some varied panning of the vocals? I listened in headphones, the vocals sound great in the mix as is, but for a song like this you could have one line coming in panned left, next line panned right, moving things around like that. Just an idea, and you don't appear to have any shortage of those as is. cheers, -Tom
  5. Super chill, the dobro adds the old-school to the nu school. Very cool comp. For me the bass needs a dip cut somewhere around 250hz maybe? It's eating a lot of the energy of this track, maybe the higher end elements will benefit from less bass presence in the mix. YMMV and I'm wrong a lot. but excellence in chill. cheers, -Tom
  6. Thanks Fleer! Would look forward to learning how big it got when expanded and installed. Ideally the developers could put each patches' samples in a separate folder for each preset. Then you could just toss out the folders of samples that are all filler, no killer.
  7. Well I just ran through Keyscape looking for the patches that might get close to the four presets in MK that I like. No dice. Do I want to pop 99 just so I can use 4 MK patches out of the hundred or so they have, and eat 50GB on my hard drive just for four patches? Possibly. all playing, no talk:
  8. I bought Freakshow just because of the beyond great anti-marketing.
  9. Well, while we are being the marketing department, it's very close to indignant and indigent. Now let's hear more about this new snowmobile library! Must have!
  10. Hi Nigel. same thing happened to me, v1 became unstable. I was loathe to upgrade all these years, did so last year. Try Musicians Friend, they do a 10 or so percent off of things quite often. Now $222 USD. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/spectrasonics-omnisphere-2-upgrade?pdpSearchTerm=omnisphere&tNtt=Omnisphere&tAt=item&tAv=Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 Upgrade May not work if you are in South Africa or such? The upgrade itself is pretty nice if a bit underwhelming, it's a lot more patches piled on top of a lot of great patches already.
  11. So close!!! If it aggregated all our data, it could come up with: "Most proficient users who produce >10 completed songs a year use (compressor x) on their drum bus"
  12. If you find yourself equidistant from all 13 basses, would you starve to death? Buridan's (b)*****
  13. Realizing I might have encouraged or goaded you a bit into acquiring a music man? I Must say excellent choice. The red pops. The maple neck will play like butter. The HH will have deep balls for days, assuming it has an active preamp ? I have the Bongo with the HH, and I put tapewound strings on it. Way feely! Noice bayzz.

    Gone again!

    Mods, please delete this post. It violates the terms of Larry's service and has content that is inappropriate to my well being.
  15. The hands I prioritize are the hands of time. Apparently not, though, as I have responded to this.

    Zaragosa

    That's a good one. It blends a lot of stuff in a nice way. Raum is a great reverb and I'd only offer the idea of just a bit more of it on the string parts, as the piano is nicely bathed in the verb. Or maybe I'm reacting to the way the string lines seem to swell, and then end abruptly sometimes. That filtered synth up top is a great add, reminds me of the furry pawed one. super pleasant and nice piano which obviously carries the piece. cheers, -Tom
  17. Pretty sure those aren't sale prices. ? 250 clams for trumpets?
  18. Try Mussolini. . . .served tonight in a white wine sauce with broccoli florets and peach cobbler.
  19. I hope it comes with a multiband or parametric equine.
  20. Uh, Brass. But Larry is still da man.

    Shifting Sand

    Nice tune! I had headphones on, so the widening trick around :15 caught me a bit unpleasantly - I'd say start the song with the acoustic guit nice and wide, it sounds super clear that way. YMMV! You could approach the mix from a few different angles, but you might look at the kick drum, I think it's doing a bit much and is sucking a lot of low-end energy by being that loud. My guess is, your mixing friend added ooomph by compressing the drums more than a bit. I really enjoyed the melody, and the drum performance, and the driving guitars. Once you get the low end sorted out, this will rawk! cheers, -Tom
