Description : Update 12.09.2016 - I widened the Metaled vocals a bit, reduced volume on the "machine" rap section at around 3:00, and also added some effect to make it less harsh. dropped a little the guitar so the drums are louder, and some other small stuff. Let me know if better now :D
This song started with me finding the vocals by Metaled, and thinking what can I do with it. Again, is it rap? Rock? Blues??? Please give me your thoughts on it, and also about the mix, always happy to get input. And if you just listened without commenting, that's cool too my friends. The track was made in the private band section at wikiloops.com.

I'm not sure what it is for sure, but those vocals scared the cat!
Not what I expected, so I suppose I can see where danke was coming from about the voice. Maybe it would blend more if the rest of it weren't so crisp and brittle high end, you know tamed a bit.
It sure is a blend of styles in here! Confusingly original!
Yeah Tee,
way to stick with it. The Metaled vox is much improved.
I think the widened approach works better and adds a distinctive element between the two vocal tracks.
Very cool tune.
Very cool track here bro, sort of reminds me of some early Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust phase with Marc Bolan on guitar. I love the music but feel the vocals need some work, primarily the male voice (3:00 mark). You might try double tracking it and spreading it more to the sides to get it to more open areas. That effect on the voice is hard on the ears too. Trim the high levels a bit. Adding vocals to a track is a whole new ball game. Its why I dont do it (ha ha)! Very interesting track bro, I dig what your doing. Maybe just a little fine tuning is necessary.
Hey Neo, thanks for your comments, I read them carefully a few times and tried to adjust what you and the others mentioned. I never done such a track before, I usually move around rock, blues and a bit of rock-hop - so it was a first for me. Yes, vocals, that's a challenge, absolutely. So anyway, I tried some stuff, if you feel like it give it another listen, let me know what you think. Thanks again for your input, priceless!!
Hey, appreciate your honest opinion, I love that. Please see my reply to Danke, and maybe give it another go as I tried to improve the song going by the suggestions given here. TG :)
I am 'afraid' if I would go to the gym, while listening this, I will totally DEMOLISH the workout lol. Feeling like The Rock Johnson himself! Certainly the first time the guitar kicks in haha.
I am not a rock lover by nature but Looperman feels a bit like open ground for me to check pretty much any genre regardless of my likings and I must say I enjoyed this one :)
The only feedback I could actually think of is turning the drums volume up a tiny bit. For now either the drums felt to be left a bit behind, or the guitars are a bit dominant. I am not sure which one it is. Again, please remember that I hardly listen rock so its all down to what I can tell from my abilities here.
Personally, its a bit repetitive in my perception for 5minutes long to be honest. Good to see that you respectfully address to the samples you used.
Hey Wobbin, thanks so much for listening and commenting, much appreciated. I will 100% check out the drums/guitar volume thing - as the guitarist I have a tendency to up the volume on my stuff :D I find volume mixing the hardest thing, so hard to get right...
I get the same thing as you do with rock, listening to stuff I normally don't here on Looperman, like house or dance etc, but it's good sometimes to do so.
So thanks again, and see you out there on the tracks :)
Very extremist song...I'm a bit confused...the music is 10/10 but I don't feel metaled voice here...he's got some dark, gothic tone and it doesn't fit for the blues/rock's warm mood...others are perfect...
LOl thanks for listening and commenting Danke. I am not really a Metal fan, but I thought I try it out. In any case, since I uploaded it I read a few comments and I have adjusted the song a little, maybe now it is a little better. But I appreciate your comments very much! Thanks, TG

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
Description : when i was a kid you could go down and buy acid drops at the dairy - sour boiled sweets....vox, guitars and keys by me. Bass a LM loop by megapaul.
