No thanks, close this window
Steve thx for the review of Set me Free. You have a good listening ear to notice that the song wasn't mastered. I do have a mastered version but I didnt like how it turned out. They mastered the life right out of the track so i decided to stick with the full of life unmastered version. You are the first person in over 10 years who has noticed that its unmastered. Good ear man. Thx again Ante N
I agree - sometimes the mastering process can simply compress the tune to death - A good mastering engineer will generally know where to stop "the squash" before all of the dynamics disappear. Thanks for the follow-up. Take care, Steve
Yup!!! You should hear what they gave me. What I actually paid for them to do on the recommendation from an acquaintance many years ago. I did get my money back. It took a couple of months of trying to get in touch with them first then the back and forth bs came of them trying to convince me that their 2nd best mastering guy there did the master on that song and how he does great work and has never gotten a complaint from anyone else but me. Then I forwarded them the song he did. A few days later I got a check in the mail with a full refund and a written apology. Haha!! A classic moment I have to say!! Ante
Hello Symiphony. Thank you very much for your review of my song Strychnine. Usually when someone reviews that song the experimental aspect of the tune is lost on them. But not on you. You got it pretty much dead on. You heard the song for what it is which is me trying shit out an seeing what sticks. I don't always get it rite but i feel like i got it mostly right on that song. Thanks again man. Gonna go listen to your music now. Thx Ante
That's the way to do it! XD But, honestly, it was a pleasure to review your song. To many musicians ride on the wave and the art gets lost. As you could see, most of my tracks are quite unusual and maybe a bit bizarre, but I love each one of it. They are my babies and I'm proud of the fact, that every single piece was part of my history and my development. It was fun to look at your music and I wish you the best for your musical journey. Kind regards symiphony
Whats up HitzR I just wanted to say thx for the positive review and comments. Much appreciated man. I just listened to a few of your songs. U have some good tunes and the production is very good too. Really like What Can I Say Ante N
Pepper, thank you much for your review of my song Creepin'. The song is a work in progress. So far I have the instrumentation more or less down. I don't want to rush the lyrics & melody just for the sake of having one ya know. Once again thx for the nice review man!!! Ante
Any time and I agree. I am in the same boat where I'm trying not to rush the next batch of songs I release.
Hello Lyfe. I just wanted to say thank you very very much for the mixing and recording endorsements you recently gave me.. That means you guys actually listened and paid attention to what was going on which means a shit ton to me. As musicians and writers isn't that what we all want and why we learn and love what we do all these years. Once again thank you very much Lyfe!!! Best to you all Ante Novaselic
You are welcome my friend, Keep up the great work! LC Team
Whats up David. Thx for the review of my song Home. That is one of my older songs recorded in my parents garage back in 2004 or 05 on a Tascam 8 track cassette Portastudio and some outboard gear, then mixed/mastered digitally in a pro studio. I kinda want to try to record it again but I doubt that I would be able to capture the vibe of the original recording. So I have been putting it off for 15 years Lol!!! One day I will come around to doing it....maybe. Lol Thx again Adam Ante
Grunge / post-grunge era still works for me everytime so this one was easy on my ears :)
Patti thank you much for your kind words and review of my spaghetti western wannabe tune. Thx' Ante
Hello Lyfe. Just wanted to say thank you many times over for the multiple 5 ***** and the multiple playlist adds you did for several of my songs. You guys are the best and thank you very very much. If only music supervisors and label heads were as kind it would be a different story right. Lol!!! Thanks again Lyfe best to you all!! Ante
Lol, Yeah that would make a huge difference, wouldn't it! You're welcome my friend, keep up the great work! LC Team
Kate thank you much for your kind words and positive review of my song. You know I haven't heard of a New Wave Rock song either until i saw the word in your review. I have always struggled to find the right genre for that song. I think you brought me a step closer. Thx Ante
Brandon, you rock brotha! Thank you very very much for the ***** review of my acoustic number TiC, and for the kind words as well. The acoustic guitar I used to record that song with was the very first guitar I ever owned. It is a guitar my parents gave me for my 9th birthday so many years ago and I am 52 now. Then it was a Yamaha nylon string classical acoustic guitar. Today it is still a Yamaha but now is a steel string (not sure if it still falls in the classical section of acoustic guitars) but man that girl has been serving me flawlessly for the past 43 years and has been on countless recordings so I'm not complaining. Thanks mom and dad!!! and thank you once again for the review. Gonna go check out your material!
Hello Angela. Thanks for the review of my whining song. I gave up on the publication world a long time ago. I am satisfied with performance dees and streaming income at this stage of my life. Your friend in music , Mrs Kate
Whats happening George. Thanks for the more than nice review of an old song I recorded with my band in my parents garage back in the late 90's. I was just freshly bitten by the recording bug maybe a year or so prior to that recording. I remember only having a 8 Track cassette Tascam Porta Studio, 2 SM57 and a SM58 and that is what that song was recorded with. I gave it to a friend to mix it and he did wonders with what he had to work with. Lol!! Thx George Ante
Hey Ante, You're very welcome! I had one of those Tascam 8 track cassette recorders too. Having those kind of limitations forced us to be real creative...lol! Funny how far the technology has come since then. All the best, George
Frank thanx for the 5 star rating and for adding my song Ill Will to your playlist. Much appreciated man! Thx Ante
Hartmut, I just wanted to say dankeschoen for your very fair & constructive critique of my disco/funk tune "POW". I agree that making your own samples adds a personal touch to a composition, but at the time of recording that song Native Instruments 10 was all that I had as far as sample libraries go. I really try using live instruments and musicians as much as I can over samples. There are far too many talented good people who are more than willing to showcase their talent. The convenience of samples is a great tool, but nothing can substitute the feel and flavor of a talented musician doing their thing. Especially a drummer and horns player! Once again dankeschoen Hartmund Ante N.
Hey Ante! Like the new logo Devil sounds great Dig the lady's voice Very Cool! Great to see youre still pressing on as usual! Keep On Truckin! catnip=+=
Pat' you the man! Thank you very much for noticing and commenting. You didn't have too, but you did and that is very much appreciated brotha. Thank you! Yah Pat, music is an integral part of my life and a major player to a healthy state of being. I started at 9 and I just turned 52 in April. I have been in a band of some sort every year since 17 to this day. As long as it doesn't become boring and I still feel inspired to write, record and play music with people I will continue to do it until I physically can't anymore.
Brandon, thank you for the review of my song "Would You" and for your suggestions. I just listened to some of your tunes, and you have some nice one's man. The production sounds great and there is some strong songwriting there as well. Good riffage too. Very nice man! Best to you!! Ante N
Sandra thank you for the encouraging and kind words in your review of my song Bad Dream. Much appreciated!!! Ante N
I really did enjoy it.
Steve thanks for the review of my song Home. You are 100% spot on about the levels being all over the place and parts stepping all over each other. Me and a couple of friends recorded that song in my parent's garage back in 2002 on a Tascam cassette portastudio. I mixed it on that machine too. Lol! Btw I just listened to your song RIFITUS. I dig it man. Did I hear some Malmsteen in there?
Ante..Great track
Thank you Evan
Thanks for the great review and yes, it was a Dobro.... Marvin
Hello again Mr. Memphis Kenny P. Thanx again for your kind review of my breaking up with my ex girlfriend song that I wrote back in the mid 90's AND i got her to sing the lead vocal. Ha!! Yup the song is about her brand of crazy and I got her to sing about it in the studio. Needless to say the very next day we broke up after she called me every name in the book once she figured out the song was about her! I kept the vocal because she did a damn good job. Much better than I would have done. Lol!!! Thanx again Kenny Best
Hello Memphis Kenny P Thx for your kind review of my instrumental ode to the great and one and only Man in Black and his Folsom Prison Blues album that greatly inspired me to write that track. I agree with you that it would be nice to hear some vocals accompany the music so that is what I am going to do. It is a good track but it leaves the listener wanting more as far as wanting to hear a vocal melody. Thx again best
Sky High - You guys are the bestest in the westest and far beyond. Thnx again for the review and kind words for my psychedelic indie tune. Thank you!! best Ante N
Hi Uncle Maple. Thank you for the 5 ***** for my song Devil Inside of me. Much appreciated Best Ante N.
Sky High, thank you very much for both of the reviews you did and for the kind words. You guys rock and have talent oozing out of you. Thanks again Ante
Sandra Thank you for your review of my funky blues rock track Set Me Free. That is what a review should look like good or bad. In this case awesome. Thanks Ante N
BroGreede. Once again a huge thank you for the 5***** for Naked. Very much appreciated man. Thank you Ante N.
Rae' Ven Rae's comment to you a few days ago prompted me to revisit your music, and I agree with her wholeheartedly. So, I'm just passing by to wish you wonderful accomplishments in 2024.
Yuri you are too kind. Thank you very much for the well wishes. I wish you the best in 2024 as well and beyond. Thank you Ante N
As a big Alice and Chains/Soundgarden fan, your vibe is one I instantly gravitated words! Love it!
Rae you rock!!!! Thank you so much for the kind words and friend request. The music world took a big hit when Chris Cornell left us. He was a massive talent.
Randy thank you so very much for your kind review of my electronic instrumental piece Ill Will. It is truly a satisfying feeling when the listener gets the song right off the bat like you did sir. Thanks again Best to you Ante N.
