No problem.

Take care of yourself and those who care for you.

Evan

Glad you liked it.

I dig it very much. You did stuff with it that I would not have expected. Very neat. I'm glad, more than anything, that something I did was a bit of inspiration for someone else. After all, that's the best effect to have on the world. Be inspirational, and always for something positive. Brotherhood of man.

Take care.

Evan

Pro done a production, nice like.

Especially if you tent it with some aluminum foil, and let it rest for at least five minutes, before cutting into it.

The drums are Taiko drum loops from Samplephonics or Looploft.

Got a decent tone on the bass in this one, but I plucked the guitar a bit too hard in spots and would like to redo that at some time. Bass is always two separate go-throughs that I pan hard left and right. Modulation without using modulation. Good stuff.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback.

Evan

Glad you're back, Mosaic.

I hope you are doing ok. I'm not going to pry into the issues, I just know that health issues are scary as hell and they make you look at life very differently. I hope you are alright.

Thanks for the track appreciation! I enjoyed this one. This one sounds a bit Celtic, you say? I did one that apparently sounded Asian a few weeks ago, now I'm heading back to where I came from.

Take care, and welcome back.

Evan

You are correct. Strings, piano and piccolo.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback!

Evan

"i REALLY was waiting for it the wholeday tho lol."

Damn. I wrote you lastnight, promised to set it up for you,.... then crashed. I feel like a dick now. Sorry.

"PS..Will put up the track under the same nme when i am done.
do you do vocal mixing?"

If you would, add "feat. Philemonster" or something like that to the title, and maybe a link to the original like a lot of folks here do.

I've never done vocal mixing besides my own, and there isn't much to say about that. A few attempts, and a realization that someone else should be doing it besides me.

I hope this goes well for you. Take care,.... and sorry again for inadvertently testing your patience. Impressive forbearance.

Evan

Howdy!

Seems you're more into collabs than I am. I really use this site for constructive criticism and creation sharing anymore. Started for the drum loops, then Good Mr. Nomad thankfully shamed me into trying harder with the drums, and now I rarely use any loops. Now, I feel like I have a few friends here who don't mind listening to my overly bassy music(which I'm trying to make less songs that's JUST bass guitar, been doing it for years, time to grow).

I'll keep up with the V.I.s, and I do play 90 percent of what I keep in the tracks. The midi keyboard controller is really great. I didn't cheap out. Also, I'm upon a forced hiatus. My headphones just blew out on the left side, so I just dropped about $170 lastnight on some ATH-M50x. Had old ATH-M40, so it's an upgrade. Got great reviews. I LOVE to read where Beats By Dre are getting shit on by music lovers. It warms me inside. 80 percent if the price pays for the "b" on the outside. That is what you pay for. $89 headphones are out-performing them. Good stuff.

Take care of yourself, and others.

Evan

Forgot to set it for you. Sorry. I'm an expert idiot at times. It's now set to download, and once you get it, I'll set it back to how it was. I don't allow downloads because one guy from here found his music being sold and some thief was making money off of his work.

"so what did the user do??hack?"

I won't name names, but I started collaborating with an awesome musician from here, who seems to be absent for a while. All was well, till he started wanting to bring other people he knew into the process. He wanted to give out my e-mail to people. Then some chick friend of his started trying to talk to me. I'm married, and though she said her intentions were harmless, married guys don't talk to random girls online. I told her that it's not appropriate, and she got offended and told the original member that I treated her like a common bitch. I meant no disrespect, but I have the right to end a friendship once I get that "shady" feeling, and so I did. I got some pretty hateful e-mails after that, saying I'm wrong. I thought about it. I'm not wrong.

Hope this song gives you some inspiration, and again, sorry for forgetting to set it to download!

Take care.

Evan

Do anything you want with it. I'll set it to be downloadable for a bit, so download it and do what you wish. Upload what you come up with here and let us all hear it. I'm truly glad you liked it!

Sorry, but I don't deal with personal E-mail anymore, or I'd send you stems. Bad experience with a user here. Hope it goes well!

Evan

Thank you much!

Good day, distant fellow.

"Not much love for your nice track bro so allow me to offer a little more"

I've really not been listening to much Looperman music lately because of the near total lack of tracks in genres I can stand, so I've not really been commenting on any.

Just for something new, I started searching Rock tracks, then click 'Last' on the pages, and listened to the first rock stuff put on here. The first ten or so pages of tracks. It was pretty few and far between then as well. Commenting is pointless, as nobody from then even has the same email, but I think I got one reply from a seven year old track.

"0:29-0:31 delayed (?) piano slide"

I duplicated the slide 3x and did the echo with velocity. No delay.

This track started by me playing the piano through my controller for about half an hour, added the drums, and I came up with the first minute, then I added the double bass thinking of your cello, though I tried my cello, the sound was not as good as the double bass, so I went with it instead. Then piccolo, then higher strings.

I thought everything came out well. The guitar tone at the end is something I've been picking on, but I think it was from picking a bit too hard.

Being surrounded by hard-core and in-your-face Christians, I've learned to just not speak to people. Religion and Politics are the same thing here. The craziest thing happens when you tell a patriotic, Christian American about the truth behind the "Disappearance" of most Native Americans. It has ALWAYS lead them to say that everything America has done to other people was justified because of what it has gained in doing so. Even slavery. That mentality blows my mind, but that's the guy who takes my cash at the gas station, or sells me insurance, or I do landscaping for.

Off topic, but I worked for Brad Pitts parents about eight years ago. Brad Pitt actually came from my home town, and his parents and siblings still live here. His dad started adding things to the landscaping job beyond what was on the contract, and after he ordered the wrong kind of sod and had it delivered to his house, and realized his fuck up in front of us and got embarrassed and indignant and basically fired us because he bought a Bluegrass-Fescue BLEND, and not a Bluegrass-Fescue MIX. A whole 53 foot flatbed trailer of it. So, because we didn't magically stop him from making this order for sod on his own, and for us seeing his fuck up, he fired us and stiffed my boss $10,000. My boss had to take out personal loans just for payroll.

My boss no longer watches Brad Pitt movies.

Greets and Heys.

"Try bending the strings a bit/a lot to add more expression and attitude to your parts."

I intend to do this. I'm always afraid of breaking strings since bass strings are $40 a set, and bending is what caused many early string-breaks. I guess Elixer's strings are pretty cheap for the six-string, and I need some for the Squier anyway, so my wife can try and pick her's up again.

"This kind of a vibe is cool departure for you and the sort of thing you should explore more."

I'm wanting to. This track's whole sound came from the name. The name came to me while driving, and the idea stuck with me for the few days till I made the track. Always seems to work like that.

Fun Fact:

I now live less than one mile from the hospital I was born in. I've always loved the area I've lived in, though the people can suck. I live in a college town. We have about a dozen Universities, half are Christian Faith colleges. Buckle of the bible belt. If you put up a sign on a busy corner that read "Free Carbon Dating", it would be torn down overnight and the area would be cleansed by rubbing everything down with literature from Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck.

Hello, good sir. I hope you are well.

I really enjoyed doing this one. I felt like it kept coming out like I was hearing in my head. I spent a lot more time with the VI's in this. Several lines of automation, which I almost never use. 1 in 10 tracks may have automation.

"The (high bass) guitar riff around 2:00 is a killer one"

Thanks. It was an odd one to play. A and D strings, up around 10 and 12, but I tune Drop C#, so it would be a half step higher.

Thank you for the kind words, consistent presence and appreciation of that sweet, sweet thang we call Bass Guitar.

Take care.

Evan

Howdy!

I always record everything twice and pan them. Gives a nice modulation without and added FX.

"I don't see cannibalism. i do see outdoors, the wild, adventure."

This is the hunting, not the eating. I may do that next track.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback.

Evan

Hello!

You mean Monty Python. Holy Grail, I'm guessing. Damn fine movie. Only one horse. Whole movie, only one horse. Three seconds scene where a knight rides into the shot and slashes the throat of an old historian who is giving the audience details of the story's history. That's it. The rest of the movie it's coconuts,... which are tropical.

My track "The Farcical Aquatic Ceremony" is from that movie. Dennis, the "old woman" who squabbles with the king about electing the king and how one becomes king.

"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no means for a basis of government. Supreme executive power is derived from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony"

Good stuff. "And Now For Something Completely Different" is probably my favorite.
