Hey Mack, thanks for listening, much appreciated. Sorry it took a while to answer, was busy with music and stuff...will do better next time!

Hey Mosaic, sorry it took a while to answer, was caught up in stuff... yes the guys love a bit of hiphop but we are basically rocknroll, so we combine it as good as we can. And Hemanifezt, whose rap we used, he is unique, as he is so effortless it makes it easy. I am not one to never swear, but it is nice that he can do songs without going bitch ho n-wordall the time. Anyway, I hope we will do another one soon :) Thanks for listening mate!

Thanks man, appreciate it!

Thank you :)

Thanks man, appreciate your comments. As you said, there is something about real instruments that I like too. And I am crap at programming synth or drums :D :D :D

Thanks Max, appreciate your comments! I agree, it is time for real instrument hiphop to be more common ;).

Thanks for listening and commenting :). You are not going to believe it, but on this track I basically did not do anything special- I basically ensured the bass is nice and loud in the mix. Other than some time corrections to ensure that the first bass note of every bar is bang on the click, I used a Maximiser plugin on the cubase 8 I am using, and I set the "Output" on 6 (maximum), the "Optimise" dial on 100, and clicked the option "soft clip". To explain, all I wanted is for the bass to be loud, I suppose I could have used a limiter/compressor combination, but I just tried this and it worked.

If you listen to the other two track I did with Bhunt here on Looperman, for the "Trailblazer" song I used a compressor/limiter to again increase the volume and make sure every note is heard, and used a preset on the equaliser called "Rock Bass". I did not tweak that, it worked straight out of the box. For the "Now I got it" I used a "Bassamp Vintage" amp simulater insert, and a "slow moderate" phaser - the equalizer was set again to the "Rock Bass" preset.

But the bottom line is: The single track s that I get from Bhunt are simply superb, other than increase the volume by compressing/limiting a little bit they don't need much. You are most welcome to contact bhunt1, see his link a few comments down, maybe he can tell you what effects he is using on his guitar before I get my hands on it :D . Cheers, TG

Thanks! Yes we are working on new stuff, but we is slow... I do like listening to tracks, so I figure I leave a small comment on tracks that I like while I listen to them... and here on Looperman there are a lot of very interesting tracks - you don't hear that stuff on Radio, that's for sure ;)

Thanks Wayne, appreciate your comments :)

Hey Flonut, thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. It could well be that Mr. Hemanifezt made it freestyle, I only had the acapella that I downloaded from here and built the rest around it. I found the tempo to be 92.65, a very unusual figure. But it could well be that I did not choose the correct tempo. I am not very experienced when it comes to rap and hiphop, so I might not have done Hemanifezt justice. Thanks for your input, much appreciated, I really do!!

Thanks for listening and thank you for your comments. It is very interesting what you are saying, I have a theory why this is. Basically, HEMANIFEZT recorded this song, most likely to a very different beat, and then he posted only the Acapella. I took the vocals, and tried to find a beat and tempo that matches it, and built the whole song around it. Hemanifezt is a very good rapper, if you check out his Bandcamp site you will see what I mean. Thanks again for your comments, I really appreciate it!!!

Thank you Jimi, much appreciated!

Yes, guitar, bass, drums are all real - and the rap of course. The only "plastic" is the keys in the background and the scratch loop. I actually managed to create some scratching noises on my guitar, but they were not good enough yet so I used something else. Thanks for listening :)

Thanks! Bass played by bhunt1 - I will forward the compliment

Thanks, glad you like it!

Thanks mate, appreciate your comments. U2/the Edge - absolutely, that's the sound I wanted for this song.
Got to admit that I did not know the other names you mentioned, but I will check them out.

Regarding the vocals, it's not me that is singing, it's HEMANIFEZT - but same as you said, I too appreciate his sentiment and his manners. So thanks again for listening! TG

Thanks for listening, man, appreciate it. Wot, no errors?? You did not listen hard enough :D

Thanks, appreciate it :)
