Description : uhm, been finding it difficult to make stuff lately and im moving further and further away from EDM (what i started producing in) with every song, this is sort of my first go at chillout.

I will say that this isnt done, by any means.
there's still alot to add but adding it early to get your feedback if you would be kind enough to give me some :D Thanks for listening.

    brilliant!

    I have to admit i liked it from the start but i skipped ahead (my ADD) and was not disappointed at 2:00 ... so I went back and listened again to the entire toon.

    The surprise at around 2:05 gave me the thought that you can add a teaser early on that hints at what's coming.

    Otherwise, brilliant!

    Extremely chilling and the words just flow from my mind when I listen to this. I love exactly how it is. I always feel the originality of the song... just as its made has that captured essence that can't be mistaken for nothing other than art so I have no suggestions except keep making this wonderful music you are making. Very inspiring. Cheers!

    Thanks for the comment.

    Hi again.

    No, you certainly don't want this to feel too fast. That's why I just suggested raising the tempo by about 5 BPM. Or you could even automate it so that the whole track subtly speeds up and/or slows down. No tempo drag in the second half so I'd suggest just trying out my suggestions on the first half.

    Or, keep the same tempo but do some other things with the drums to give the illusion of it being a bit faster. So, one thing that can work nicely is to make the hats faster/busier, perhaps keeping the rest of the drums just as they are.

    Tempo and feel of the track are interesting things and I have tracks at the same tempo that feel like they're very different tempos. For instance, two tracks made on the same timeline sound perhaps 10-15 BPM apart but are the same tempo. One track (Random Acts Of Human Kindness) uses a lazy shuffle blues groove, making it seem much slower than the tighter hip hop type of groove used in the other track (The Shit).

    Yes, I saw Danke and Epic's comments and didn't think there was anything lacking in the second half so I guess you've done a good job adding a bit more activity (only a guess because I haven't heard the earlier version).

    You can definitely do lots more good chillout music.

    You don't want to leave it at only one classy chillout track...

    HEY static :D

    The making the hats a bit busier in the 1st half sounds like the best option, i always have trouble with automating the bpm, for me it complicates the track.

    Yeah i remember 'Random Acts Of Human Kindness' awesome track :) not to familiar with 'The Shit' haha will have to give that one a listen.. awesome title by the way ;) haha

    Yeah i changed alot and added alot after danke's comment, mostly in the second half just doing what you've been saying actually, and adding more percussion and making it feel more busy :), i just need to find that middle ground for the first half that makes it not as busy as the second half but not as slow as it is.

    "You can definitely do lots more good chillout music.
    You don't want to leave it at only one classy chillout track..."

    i dont plan too haha, ill do definitely more chillout/mellow stuff.
    already got the beginnings of another chillout track :D

    Hello Xyllent,

    Very good attempt on chillout.. I loved the piano's chord progression and all the "Chillout" elements behind. A liked the Off-beat Fill before the Kick is introduced. That was awesome. I think you could use some better Reverse FX(Uplifters) though and a subtle Downlifter (with delay & reverb) as well, when your track reaches the part where all the elements are coming in, may be at 02:03.

    Also, From beginning till 00:25secs, it gives me the feeling of it being a Mellow Hip-Hop Track... but as it ascends, it transforms to a decent chill-out track.

    Hope this helps & look forward to hear the complete track soon :)

    hey EB, yeah i agree it could use better FX, its finding the right ones to use thats the problem, because i mostly have EDM, builds and uplifters haha so thats the reason for the lack of fx

    "feeling of it being a Mellow Hip-Hop Track"

    yeah it does kinda hahah :D

    "Hope this helps & look forward to hear the complete track soon :)"

    Certainly does, but knowing me it will never be done but ill be adding to it over the week :)

    Thanks for listining and taking the time to give feedback EB
    cheers :)

    Hi. Not sure I've reviewed one of your tracks before.

    This is good though my first feeling is that it's a bit slow. The beat seems to drag a bit. As it's all synth stuff, I'm guessing you could just up the BPM, say by about 5 BPM or so. Try it out.

    Actually 2:04 it doesn't seem to drag as much though it does in the first half. Just a minor criticism.
    Otherwise, it's a good collection of synth sounds with an uplifting, positive vibe but not cheesy.

    Around 2:18 or so the high wailing lead is excellent. Pulling the emotions this way and that, things building nice. Bit of a soaring guitar lead feel in there.

    Piano sound has a warm tone.

    Good, clean mix and that second half rolls along really well, not getting boring. And then it comes to a nice conclusion, with some odd, reverbed squawking sound added as well (also in the first half, now I listen again).

    Basically, it's good chillout music (elegant, as Crucethus said) but not the boring type that doesn't go anywhere or that is too polite and gentle.

    A touch of class here so big congrats to you...

    Hey Static :D, yeah not sure ive seen you on one of my tracks before, well im glad you stopped by this time :D

    "it's a bit slow"

    - Hmm. a raise in bpm could work but, i dont want it to feel too fast though.
    When im working on it later ill work with the idea and see what happens :)

    "the high wailing lead is excellent"

    - honestly thats my favourite part haha, i was messing around with a bit of glide and once i had that down-glide at the end of the bar i was like "damn! yup thats going on the song!" haha

    "Good, clean mix and that second half rolls along really well / with some odd, reverbed squawking"

    - yeah after danke and Epic's comments i added some stuff to fill out that second half and.. yeah the weird squawking was one of those additions. It gives the track a bit of character i think haha or it makes it sound like ive got a Eagle trapped in my song.. either way im all for it haha

    "Basically, it's good chillout music"

    Really!? aww cool, like ive said ive never done this genre before so for people to be enjoying my first go at it is really cool.

    "polite and gentle"

    hmm... sounds like me hahaha XD

    "A touch of class here so big congrats to you..."

    Thanks Static, means alot you enjoyed.

    Ok, here goes my review.

    I loved this track. It's elegant. sweet, saucy . tasteful and just absolutely executed perfectly.

    I'll be honest. I started to listen with no expectations and form the first 4 bars I literally stood up in my studio seat and stood that way for all the 4 mins of this tune.

    If I were a kid again and I heard this tune, I would get into music for what I just heard.

    I don't give props like this lightly.

    Some of my "Main" influences were Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Prince, The Human League, Roxy Music , Sly & Robbie. This Song Has the Ethos of "Jam" & Lewis and the minimalism of Prince from the sign of the times era.

    That synth you use which is a chorused square wave thang that is modulated perfectly is brilliant. You should be very proud of what you did here. Then the Piano is so Sublime. Then the percussion is placed with precision.
    Congratulations you touched a very jaded musician this evening with a brilliant song.

    well this comments a nice start to my day :)
    possibly one of the nicest comments ive ever had haha

    You mention that i 'touched a very jaded musician' and i guess that the goal, right? to get some sort of reaction out of people with any song you make and for you to be standing up and enjoying my song it truly means alot to me.

    "If I were a kid again and I heard this tune, I would get into music for what I just heard. "

    - Are you saying you would get into chill out if you heard this as a kid? haha
    Well... its never too late :)

    "That synth you use..."

    - Yeah i wanted a main synth that was airy and sort of flowing if you know what i mean, and after some major tweaks i think this done the trick :D

    "Then the Piano is so Sublime"

    - yeah? man im glad, honestly i have looperman to thank for that. I didnt even know what chords were till i started making loops for here haha

    "the percussion is placed with precision."

    - yeah percussion is something i really neglect in a lot of my songs haha but not this one :)

    Thanks for this comment Cru,
    it means alot that you enjoyed and took the time to share your thoughts about it.

    Respect,
    Xyilent :D

    Hi X...any time I do anything that is a bit mellow I just post it as Chillout...never even heard of it till I found Looperman...so I dont know much either...But...I know what I like...and you`ve got something really good going here....I`m hinestly not sure I would add or change anything..the minimal approach really lets the individual instrument parts do there thing...and you have them all nicely EQd and placed....Go with what feels right..and if that means you cross genres or drift between them just go with the flow....there are no coincidences...your creativity will just keep growing along with your diversity.....well done...Ed

    - Hey Ed, im EXACTLY the same i didnt know about chillout till i heard a danke track on here haha.

    "you`ve got something really good going here"

    - Thanks man :), i set out to make something ive never done before and i think i done that haha

    "the minimal approach really lets the individual instrument parts "

    - YEAH, exactly! :)

    "Go with what feels right" / "go with the flow"

    - I always do, only way to do it haha

    "your creativity will just keep growing along with your diversity"

    - I hope thats true, only way to find out is to keep going I guess :)

    There's some really good advice in there man,
    thanks for taking the time.

    Wow, I love that synth lead at :30. So dreamy, makes me think about life haha. I think a tad bit more reverb on the piano will help it fit into the mix more easily. And I agree with danke, maybe something a little more busy to help speed up the part at 2:00. But I definitely love the idea. Very relaxing.

    Beautiful composition...

    Loved many elements from the piano to the tasty synths...I got one tip...from 2.03 you could use a snare with some acoustic guitars to 'speed up' this number a bit...just a bit...

    Much respect, hope all is well, Danke

    XyIlent
    Reply by XyIlent

    thanks for the feedback :D

    Yeah, snares come in at 2.00 but they were super quiet and i didn't realise haha.
    The acoustic guitar would be cool but i dont have the equipment t do that, ill try with a vst and see how it sounds.

    Your right about speeding it up towards the end, thats the feeling im going for hopefully i can get it to come across in the final version.

    Thanks for taking the time Danke :D

    Respect.

Description : Many of you know well that Tumbleweed & Orlando collabs are pretty much well established tradition within LM society by now, and here is the newest example to reinforce that tradition. It's probably the last this year (yet never take it for granted) and I think it has (although not particularly intended) a bit of that seasonal celebrative nature, thus fitting quite well into this festive feel of December. Despite providing it's share of melancholic tones (you can bet who is responsible...haha...) it's a quite happy tune overall...and it doesn't bite, so you're all most welcome to listen and comment !... As always my sincere thanks to Ed !

Description : The spring is in full motion over here and I guess it helped me quite a bit to complete my part of the job on yet another exciting collab with maestro Tumbleweed. Most of our collab works contain at least some aspect which demonstrates something out of ordinary one or another way.
