Actually it was my actions that forced me to chose the title but everything worked out in the long run. Personally, I like this one, a little partial to these western songs I reckon. I've been getting into the harp lately and been finding it works in my music more than I thought it would.

Thanks for reminding me, beer chugging on the docket later.

Thanks!

So sorry for not replying sooner but I moved to a new house and life's been a bit crazy lately.

Thank you so much for your comments, I love my $40 mandolin, lol, it does the trick sometimes.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cool, glad you like it!

Thanks!

Wayne

Give it a go, I'd like to hear what you could do with it. Sounds like an interesting idea.

Wayne

Thanks Paulo for the nice feedback!

Wayne

Cool man, thanks, glad you liked it enough to dl it. Thanks for stopping by.

Wayne

Thanks for giving this a listen and a comment, much appreciated!

Wayne

Pretty funny you mentioned that scenario. If you play my last song posted called The Campfire, you will hear just that, a song written and sung around a campfire in the old west near the Black Hills. no kiddin'A lot of my acoustic and folk songs are like that.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!

Wayne

Thanks for listening in and the comments! I'm sure a simple drum could be put in there.

Wayne

Thanks Kyle, glad you could stop by!

That was very sweet, thank you for the nice comments Carole!

Wayne

Thanks, appreciate your feedback!

People mention the Ennio M reference a lot when I do these sounding songs. I have a handful of spaghetti western sounding songs here. I get a lot of "this should be in a Quinton Tarantino film". It is a very nice compliment to hear that so thanks!

Thanks for the nice feedback, it's always welcomed.

Wayne

That's interesting Pat, too bad you were too young to appreciate Alaska's beauty. Well maybe you will get back there some day. Thanks again!

Thank you very much!

Thanks Scott! I thought the ringing in my ears was bad but hearing drums and percussion in your sleep? damn.

I have a bunch of percussion instruments here and virtual percussion instruments galore but I tried to show some restraint with this one, one of those less is more deals I was thinking. It was tempting to keep adding things though,lol.

Thanks for stopping by, noticed you have a new one, on my way to check it out!

Wayne

I didn't know you used to live in Alaska, cool. We have "hoe downs" here in Daytona Beach but we may be talking about different things though. lol

Thanks for always stopping by!

Wayne

Hey Benham, how ya doing? Thanks for listening. It's just something very simple I put together. Glad you like it! haha, no singing for Wayne on this one.

Take care.

Wayne

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! The acoustic is real and that's me playing it. I've been working on mic placement for a while, trying to get a good tone. Most of the acoustic playing is done without using the lower E and A strings so there isn't much bass or lower end to the track, maybe that's why it may sound so bright. Even the mando adds that high end tone. Or maybe I could cut some high end out of the final mix, I dunno.

As far as clean goes, there is no noise or hiss reduction done to any of my tracks, Ableton doesn't have those plugins. You are hearing the tracks as I record them with eq and some compression and reverb. I get nice clean recordings with my AKG mics and 32 bit interface.

I do a lot of spaghetti western music and Latin style acoustic music. This one is more of an exercise than a real track. The ending and well, most of the song isn't all that definitive. It was just a very simple idea brewed up quickly in Ableton and felt it sounded good enough to upload, not much thought went into the construction of the song. It's just 2 chords.

I'm more just trying to get feedback on my mixes, having just switched to Ableton. By stripping down songs and making my playing more "vulnerable" by these open sounding mixes, I can critique my mixing and playing better because I'm not that great at either. Sometimes I notice when there is so many instruments and effects and automation and drums going on, a mix can get so big that the small details can be over looked. I feel these little exercise songs can help me learn more about mixing than major 40 track productions.

Appreciate the feedback, it's all welcomed. I will check out that track, thanks for the link. I think this is my longest reply ever, lol!

Wayne

Majestic? Nobody has ever used that word to describe one of my songs, now I'm feeling pretty good about myself, lol!! Thanks for checking it out and using the word majestic. ;) Glad you liked it enough to dl it.

Cheers!

Wayne

You and Bear are on the same page as far as your reaction to the track, that's funny. Can I join you guys, sounds like fun, bring some acoustic instruments and jam in a mine?

I love the ability to create using midi, it has really opened the door to so many of us "real" musicians(i don't like to use that term but...). It has opened the floodgate to creativity to millions of us who home record. I just think of acoustic music being done with more traditional acoustic instruments, not needing amplifiers or using vst plugins but my instrument choices were close to not needing amplification. These days it's hard to tell what isn't a vst.

Thanks for stopping by, cheers!

Wayne

Thanks Domenico! Still lots of learning to do with Ableton but I am finally getting happier with my mixes. I wasn't planning to sing on it but thanks for the nice words of encouragement!

Wayne

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice review. Thanks for the fav!

Cheers!

Wayne

Thanks man, glad you liked it, appreciate you stopping by!

Wayne

I did the same thing. folk? acoustic? chillout? country? lol!

Acoustic music has always been my favorite, whether it's Pete Seeger or Aerosmith unplugged, I just love the acoustic guitar!! The story behind writing it and it's name is a good personal humorous story.

Thanks for stopping by Ed and appreciate the nice words!

Wayne

Thanks, I appreciate you listening and leaving a comment. "unusual". I like that!

Cheers!

Wayne

Thanks Danke, glad it had an affect on you, I guess that is what music is supposed to do.

Cheers!

Wayne

You should get a metal detector and find lost gold in all your travels through those old towns and mines like those guys on that Diggers show, lol!

Hi Bear! Glad you liked the track, has a bit of that western feel, guess the electric git has the tremolo and reverb to help with that feel. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on this one.

Wish you allowed comments on your tracks, see you have a new cinematic track, nice dubby, glitchy, cinematic track. Sounds great. So you're on a cinematic fix, can't wait to hear more. I guess I just gave you a review on your track!! I beat the system!!
