No thanks, close this window
thanx for your review of my tune BDA....(big drive ahead)...going to make the changes you suggested. very useful review...
Mr. Martin, You have a very great ear for music . . . The piano fx was put into place because I enjoy raw (in the front) piano a little too much (so I'm tried some variation fx). I definitely appreciate your thorough review of 'The WestSide Pianist Pt.1' track. To be perfectly honest though, I was only doing these trax from a hobby standpoint. I believe I'm ready to take my MUZIK to the next level. Gee.Notez
I usually review stuff under the impression its for their own listening and not professional release. I might bring up little things but usually I don't drag them down too much because of lower quality recordings. But you really should take this to the next level, get it polished up and pro sounding. I firmly believe you wouldn't be wasting your time by doing as such.
Thanks so much for the encouragement. I value your musical opinion very much. This is a 'home studio' produced and mixed track. I really trying to go from 'hobby stage' to 'Pro'. My background was mainly Hip-Hop R&B, but I love all types of music (especially my inner Soft-Rock) but Contemporary Jazz has always had a hold on me! You're right! This was for my own listening (as I try to develop my talents) because I play entirely by ear. But with precise reviews like yours - hopefully 1 day soon, the 'Gee.Notez' (G.Notes) won't just be for my keyboard nickname - it'll stand for the $$$ signs in my bank account. By all means - keep in touch !!!
Its all about finding the right blend of production and talent. Perfect production does not a good track make... just makes it easier. I listen to a lot of older jazz from the fifties and sixties... production of Wes Montgomery album is great, but to hear it any other way would be a crime. Look at some modern rock acts. Foo Fighters won awards for the album they made in their garage. The Black Crowes performed albums virtually live... the list goes on and on. Its all about finding your texture, and I think you're on the way to getting that.
On my days off, I will spend some time listening their craft. Expressing myself musically and working on my engineering perspective has been my biggest goals (getting that proper mix-down). I am truly appreciative of your words of encouragement (and with this digital-age faze)...maybe 1 day soon we can do some work together over the internet via e-mail. From Peer 2 Peer: THANX! Gee.Notez
Thanks for the review. I can see how some songs can benifit from being stripped down a little.
