Yeah, I was invited to go to that show in Sydney, but it was a bit far (I'm on the Gold Coast).

Thanks, it is good to get some feedback!

Yeah, I agree with you on my vocals, it was just a rough idea I had recorded and he decided to do some rap over it and mix it up for me. I don't think it will get finished, but hey, never say never!

Thanks, I like to experiment with different ideas and see what sounds good. All of it is layered tracks using VSTi's I play on my midi controller, and the occasional loop for beats (not my strong suit).

Hey guys (and gals?). I'm not sure if I'm allowed to recommend somebody for their mastering services, but I'll do it anyway, unless someone tells me otherwise (don't want to step on anyone's toes!). I have a friend in Atlanta USA, Earle Holder, that is a mastering engineer that I thoroughly recommend. He is the mastering engineer for Public Enemy, and his business is called HDQTRZ and you can submit your tracks online to him, and he will send you a free sample so you can check the results. He does excellent work, and if you want airplay ready results he is the man! (oh, and if you do decide to use his services, let him know that I recommended him!) Full disclosure - I built and maintain his website and he masters any songs that I want to send to him - for free (I know I'm gloating but I gotta love the guy, plus he pays me as well). He got me free tickets to see Arrested Development when they toured Australia a few years ago and if I ever wanted tickets to see Public Enemy on tour, well I have them too. I got invited to meet Chuck D (inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of Fame) back stage one time, but my personal circumstances meant I had to miss out on that one.

I did a quick collaboration with a New York rapper and studio owner that I made a website for (I dabble in my spare time). Thought I would share it with you. If any one wants to contact him for mixing and production. let me know.

Thanks! There's more on my Soundcloud page and upteen other unfinished tracks I'm still working on...

Have posted some of my tunes in the music section. Enjoy!

Posting some of my music here for folks to listen too (and give feedback if you like)

Got an invitation via my soundcloud page so I'd thought I'd join. Interesting to see if it will lead to any collaborations or decent feedback or new tunes. Gold Coaster who likes to compose and produce using Presonus Studio One and a bunch of VSTi's.
