Description : The Difference was geared toward a dance floor - hopefully a song that wasn't designed to sell drinks, but to cause the dance floor to get slippery with sweat. But head banging only goes so far. So, I had to add some theatrical elements into the song with a few beat pauses. During those pauses I needed the beat to go on, as they say. So, I added other elements I think work well.
I used FL Studio 10 to create The Difference. Omnisphere has become my friend. And Drumaxx is rocking me outta my head! I might point out Drumaxx ain't a beat machine/drum machine. You have complete control over what is played. It can be edited to your liking like I've done here.
Mastering is a different story. Izotope 4 is another ally in my work. But sometimes getting the right sound is like trying to pick the power ball numbers. There are so many possible combinations of tweaks, getting the right ones is like playing powerball for the winning numbers.
What about mastering? Is there anyone out there that can give some advice? I try to review everyone who reviews me. So, you get what you give. Thanks

If you have time take a listen and give PhasmataJ some feedback.
A mixture subtle and pleasant .... highlighted by the superb voice that fits your musical conception ....
It is light, barely supported by the drums .... a fluid piano like a stream .... Respect!

LOve this one PhasmataJ...reminds me just a little of some of the great tracks that Nightwish (Norwegian kind of goth metal band but have many great ambient tracks)have done...I know what you mean about the whole mixing-mastering thing...I`ve been doing it for a long time & I think this one really is a good job...nice and clean without the life squashed out of it and all the parts are nicely in their place in the sound stage....well done....Ed
WOW!!!! i AM STUNNED AND AMAZED!!!!! Hello my name is BASSMOM! i could see this on a dance floor!! and you asked so here is something that i have learned about mastering. as far as I can tell try using your 10 band equalizer or your parametric equalizer to either bring some sounds up while others you tone down so that the overall mix is not over bearing when listening to it. I have a track called Stellar Rays and another called Drop that Beat and Open Space that will give you an idea of how to master out your sounds so they sound much better ok? I do not use FL studio I use Sonar 8 and Reason 4 and Magix sampletuide. If you have any other questions please let me know and do not be afraid to ask and as for this track??
I am very impressed with it!!! GREAT JOB!!!

Description : I have been using LooperMan for practice for some time now. This my most recent track. The only loop in the song is BabyGee's vocals. Free to download and if you repost tag me so I can share it as well.
Description : A psychedelic techno cello epic. It's not really techno as it's only 110 BPM but something like that (eg breakbeat), with lots of banging beats and arpeggiated acid synths, plus a whole load of my layered cello playing techniques. There aren't that many synths used but they do a lot of work and are carefully automated. No guitar. Drums are mostly a lot of drum loops, supported by a few programmed acoustic drumkits. Very busy and complicated with loads of different sections (funky, chilled, fast, heavy) that make up a constantly progressing trip. I don't know if there's any other cello music like this so let me know if you think there is. Interesting feedback appreciated - criticism, praise, ideas etc. Enjoy...
Description : Summer type dance track, for those precious 2 weeks off, if you can get them! Made around a selection of different loops and some keys from me.
Description : Inspired by an experimental percussion piece I heard. Rhythmic ticking builds into pounding beats and heavy soundscapes. I haven't done any mixing or mastering yet so tell me what you think. Any and all comments are welcome.
