Thanx dude! See, i kinda learnt my lesson 'bout dat bassline thang! Cheers! :)

Thank you my New York brother. I appreciate your comments. Roger was my musical hero as a kid. I'm sorry if I came off as being angry but I really thought that what that what dude did with his image was inappropriate. Maybe he just didn't understand. But I'm glad that out of that unfortunate situation at least one more person is aware of the contributions Roger Troutman made to music. As producers we all owe debt of gratitude for what he gave to us. Keep up the good work, and if you're ever in Harlem let me know. Peace.

thanks so much xdavdx.
i'm in sunny oakland ca by the way.

Hey David,

Thank you so much on your previous feedback on my first version of the Come Back Clean Remix, I would like to see if you can give it another listen and see if the changes were significant enough, Thank you so much for your feedback!!

i made a few mistakes on my last post so i hope stephen don't come to bash my english, which is not my mother tongue :-#

god!!! what is up with this stephen may guuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

what i meant is that the strings are following a progression: G major, E minor, so if the bassline followed (it's stuck in e all the time) it would sound better TO ME. and i put that in uppercase letters cause it's actually very personal... after all in electronoc music is not uncommon that the bass keeps playing one note and it adds some sort of tention to the feel of the track...

Thanks David, yes I tweaked some of the eqing and levels.
Also the very first one I submitted had an extra section after the bridge that didn't make a lot of sense so I removed it.

Hey man. No i didn't take offense at all. Not something I normally do just had fun with the track. Cheers, Pedro

Man, Judging from the comment you made about my reverbs etc., I thought you must be a super producer! So I checked your myspace... There i could listen to… one track only. I had great expectations, but I was a little disappointed. It sounds thin and metallic with no dynamics, like coming out from a cheap radio... Nonetheless, you can hear great music on cheap radios, and it still is great music. But here, the "composition" is so bad, it sounds like a three-year-old toying with some ultra cheap synth and assembling loops without any plan in mind.... I don't mind criticism when coming from anyone with serious background, if I feel the critique is based on solid arguments, and pointing at mistakes I made that need to be corrected to meet the standards of decent production work. You wrote (in your peculiar English) I was "missing a good base line to ride it down" Did you mean a good BASS LINE? There is a bass line later then your comment in the song, and I think it rides the beat all right. As for the reverbs (you wrote : ". I will beef up on the sounds some reverbs"), I didn't use any, except a very short one on the claps, in such small amount you won't notice it... It takes years to master composition and recording, mixing and mastering skills. I've been doing this for quite a long time, and professionally too, and I know I still have a lot to learn, and I will probably never be as good as I would like to be... I hear greater mixes than mine everyday here on Indabamusic too.... One thing I have learned is stay in my place and not fool around criticizing people's work just for fun. Modesty commends to know how much there is you have to learn before you can start telling people what they should do or not... Don't "beef up" and start learning how to make decent music.
Peace

Thanks for the encouragement! Much appreciated.

Appreciate the comments on the Crystal Method contest! I've been playing music for a while but pretty new to remixing and engineering.
