I really like Maag 4, I probably use it in every song somewhere, and its on sale now for 20$ at plugin-alliance.com. A free one supposed to be similar just was released and in the comments people are complaining about the installation stuff, and another one was mentioned that people like that is free called Luftikus by lkjb and I was curious so downloaded it and compared it to my MAAG 4 and it was a little brighter on what I tried it on with same settings on both. I was just messing with them not a serious comparison and not even on multiple samples. But I do think its in the ballpark if you want a free vs paid product. FYI

Hi timboalogo, thanks for listening/watching Spooky and your feedback. I appreciate both. My vocal recordings are born from my voice being less that I would like so I aim to cover it up with lots of layers. Allergies dust smoke quite impactful where I live. So the lead has 2 tracks one with more effects, and the other parts that come in and out are at least four tracks each and with various reverb, delay and spacial fx because I like that ha. Im glad you enjoyed it. Impossible without melodyne to line things up and fix thing as needed. I think you are right that in time what AI can do will be amazing and we can only hope for the best because it seems like nobody is really contemplating caution, like so many technologies that just get released into our world and then are sometimes deeply regretted like DDT or Agent Orange etc. It is fun to play with as I have, but it is more than a fun toy for sure. Glad you enjoyed it !

Not sure what you are going for or what FKFX vst do exactly but I have one or two free ones I haven’t explored that seemed to do some intense choppy/ distorted rhythmic stuff if I’m remembering right

Hi thegaltieribrothers, thanks for listening/watching and your positive feedback ! appreciate it

Hi FreeEarCandy, thank you for listening/watching Spooky and your comment. I am very appreciative of your enthusiastic positive feedback! Glad to know you loved it thank you for the love!

Hi freddy j, thank you for listening/watching Spooky, glad you were entertained and thought it was creative. I appreciate the feedback that the elements complimented each other, I'm pretty new to making videos and your positive feedback is very welcome !

Hi daryl1968, thanks for listening/watching and your feedback. I enjoyed making it and glad you enjoyed it and thought it was creative. Most of the major plot lines were mine but ai added some quirks too.

I welcome have had mix feedback and see other posts ask for mix feedback and also others get mix feedback. So I think it happens here. I will have a look at the sites you mentioned.

Ambitious. I’m just curious what you would hope to get from deeper more q and a type interactions about your work vs shorter feedback critique posts typical here I think. You seem very self directed and intentional. Maybe somewhere on Reddit ?

Very emotional lyrics and mood. Full of need a blend of sorrow but upbeat drive in the music so not dreary. Sounds great and enjoyed the video too.

Catchy title. Sounds great all around. Nice sax too.

Interesting, odd, well put together. I like the mix. I like how you bring things in and out and switch things up but it is cohesive. I like the steampunk looking skyboat thingy. Good work !

Heres my genuine feedback, I always aim to be genuine and hope folks do the same for my songs. Sounds ominous. Which matches your words. So good atmosphere. As far as the mix, my only feedback is the distorted instrument that underlies the song is a little smothering (maybe not a bad thing ha), at times could tell what chord especially when the bass helped, but other times it just was indistinct and provided noise vs chord information? Guess I just want more chord less indistinctness? Not sure I'm explaining this right. I enjoy heavy distorted ominous guitar, I just felt it was too much ? It’s a good song with meaningful lyrics. I wonder if your crow knows my raven...

Nice bass stuff in the intro and throughout, I think that’s my attention getter in this one. I like how complex it gets, interesting layers. Nice contrasts. Good stuff.

Nice to hear some reggae around here. I enjoyed the song and the video. I think you nailed it, the mix is good and the groove works well. Poor Mickey...

Fun one, nice to see you performing it on your piano. I don’t know the song, but can almost hear the words and see people dancing to it. You got the vibe for sure.

Hi Jeff, thank you for listening/watching Spooky, I'm glad you enjoyed the song and video. Appreciate the feedback !

Hi Wookiee, thanks for listening/watching and I'm glad you loved the video, it was a lot of fun to make it.

Hi bmarlowe, thank you for listening/watching and your comment. I try to put interesting things in my songs so thanks for the feedback on that and the vocals. Appreciate it !

Very spacey like outer spacey. The lows sound very good. Has a bit of an eerie tone but also peaceful. Interesting combination.

Speaking of the American Revolution, I just heard an interview with documentary maker Ken Burns about an upcoming documentary about the American Revolution and how divided the people were at that time. I think its long, over 10 hours and I think in November it is on tv. And Nigel, great song, important lyrics. I especially enjoy the drums too.

Excellent! I especially enjoyed all the guitar parts. Interesting ending to the song and the story.

Sorry for all the difficulties you and your loved ones have been through. Music gets put on the back burner for a time, but then when we are ready and it is still there. I enjoyed the song very much, and even if you dont want to be mean, you play a mean guitar! Take care

Me thankey

Ha, that female tarantula was a generated image with a messed up cigarette so I had to fix the cigarette position in corel, then add some smoke and I used a program I have from some bundle purchase called Photo Mirage that you can animate things sort of and turn a picture into a video clip. So thats how that one came to be. I used it on a few other still photos to give a little animation. Glad you liked the song and that the video stuck with you even if its awkward to you but fun too. I appreciate your comment, thanks for listening/watching.
