Thanks for the kind words. I think you get used to it, but next time I'll take loops/samples from real horns and try to bend them where I want them. Yep.

Hello BlackFira. You mean Accccieeeed? That froggy, creaky kind of early techno?
Might be. I once designed record covers for it and listened to the stuff over and over again. Maybe that rubbed off on me. Thanks for listening and reviewing.
Cheers,
Micky

Hello Steven, nice to see you here again. Thank you for the compliment. And thank you for the good tip about the FX on brass instruments. I'll try it out, but not on this track... it's ok for me the way it is. I still see almost all of my tracks as just exercises. I think I still have a lot to learn before I can get one really good track. Thank you for the really motivating support.
Cheers,
Micky

Hello Dennel, glad you like the track. There are no samples in there (except for those processed voices at the very beginning), which is why it took me quite a while. However, I'm not entirely happy with the brass section. If you need them you have the choice between real musicians with horns, which are very expensive and time-consuming, or samples or loops, but you have to live with what is played there, or VST horns, which never, never ever sound like real ones. I actually detest artificial wind instruments, but for love's sake I used VST horns here, knowing from the outset that I would be dissatisfied with them. It may sound nice, but unfortunately it's not the real thing. I hope that one day I'll meet someone who just plays whole brass sections... LOL
Anyway, I was really happy that you came in and listened.
Peace,
Micky

Hello Robbie, I had already suspected that the signals we had received had something to do with you. Even if they kidnapped you to another universe: we will find you! Just hold on! Peace and love from the Co Commander!

Hello Dean, thanks for stopping by and listening, I'm glad you like the track. I've only recently started working with Logic Pro. I came to it automatically after working exclusively with Garage Band for years, because Logic Pro, if you want it to, looks and operates exactly like Garage Band. So I can't tell you much about the DAW yet. I think that as I work with it, I will gradually get to know the advantages and special features. However, it has a lot of very good instruments on board. I installed some Izotope tools for mixing and mastering, which I can only recommend. I also have to confess to you that I have no idea about any other DAW (like Ableton Live) because my Garage Band worked for me and that was all I cared about. Sort of a blissfully ignorant person, I guess. Therefore, I'm hardly the right person to discuss different DAWs, but I'm happy to answer any basic questions.
Cheers,
Micky

Cincocent, thank you very much for listening and the nice comment. AND thank you very much for the fav! Cheers, Mickey

Hello Rickey, Thank you for stopping by and listening. Glad you liked it. Cheers, Micky

Hey Mark, wonderful that it takes you back to pleasant times. I guess I've fulfilled my mission then. Oh, and I'll gladly accept the compliment of the comparison to The System... I really liked them too. "Promises Can Change" is a bit of a tearjerker, but I still listened to it over and over again. Thanks for listening and the nice review.
Peace,
Micky

Hello Wayne, how are you? Glad you liked the song. Yes, and thank you for the helpful tips. I tend to be a little loud - I guess it comes from my youth... hehe. I already knew the normalization button and used it on this track too. I think I'll grow into Logic - since it looks like Garage Band, I'm already sold on it.
Cheers

Hello Chris,
Actually, you're not the first person to think of this (hawk) funny song about my name. Spearcarrier (also here at LM) sent me the exact same link LOL
Thank you very much for listening, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers

Hello, I'm glad you like the track. Thank you for listening and your review.

Halloechen Manuela,

freut mich, dass der Song dir gefaellt. Du hast gute, und ganz sicher auch sehr schoene, Ohren ;-)
Bei diesem Track habe ich zum ersten Mal mit Logic Pro gearbeitet und dann Probleme mit dem Endpunkt des Tracks gehabt - er endete einfach immer zu frueh, sodass die allerletzte Hallfahne der arabischen Troete immer abgeschnitten wurde. Da hat sich der schlaue Micky gedacht, mach ich einfach dahinter noch einen Effekt, aber das hat nicht geklappt und endete mit diesem Kratzer, der dir natuerlich aufgefallen ist. Dann hat mich deine Anmerkung aber doch gewurmt und ich hab nachgelesen und gelernt! Jetzt isser weg! Solche Schlampigkeiten gehen ueberhaupt garnicht. Danke auch dafuer!
Ich werde mir deinen neuen Track jetzt gleich anhoeren aber erst spaeter kommentieren. Es ist halt so, dass mein Track noch immer so weit oben steht, und wenn ich jetzt kommentiere, rutscht er direkt wieder nach oben, was ich nicht mag. Das wirkt dann so verzweifelt ...

Liebe Gruesse,

Micky

Hello Bilbozo, my best regards to Canada. Keep rockin' 'em like a hurricane ;-)
Cheers

Hi Paul, I'm glad you like the track. Thank you for listening and commenting.
