Xyilent - Gaia - XyIlent

This is very pretty. A close second favorite of your collection here. Sounds cinematic to me.

Always told ye a prefered this one shame you never kept the original file would have been good to mix it. Kudos all the same.

I havent been on here in a bit, or at least not in the tracks section but I posted something and figured I'd check out the this section. I am glad I did because I am dl this one. It's beautiful really, it strikes a heart string but at the same time puts me at ease. Thank you for this, its perfect to me :)

Hey Xyilent. Really like this. Very nice stripped back minimal piece. Lots of space and I really like the subtle beat and percussive elements. The piano fits well with them. The effects at the break at 125-ish had me thinking X-files tune! Nice touch. The snare coming in and out of the mix works really well. Nice attention to detail. I'm on my 6th listen now to make sure my comments are relevant and I really think this tune is fine as it is. I'm thinking of going down the ambient / chillout route myself and this is the kind of tune to give me some inspiration. Nice job.

...of course you're not interested because you can always find them easily for yourself if you really want to!

do not worry I won't posting on here anymore.

ok. so basically you want me to check out your new loops?

haha I remember using your synth loop once (which was great! - I played it in a different speed though)

Other than all I can say is that there are very few (if any) people here interested to really improve their work. Of course improvement can't happen instantly (it may take years, even decades lol)

All I can see now is countinous uncounscious porcess of bumping up the current productions on this site (I do that a lot as well).

P.S. I can send you these links if you're interested anyway

hey Xyilent,

just listened again to your track. I can see that you have 3 piano tracks here - that one playing low chords is actually generating all that strangeness as there's no real bass line here.

Just wanted to point this out but I do not know how to really fix it (only You can do this). Maybe try working only on that single part alone and find a real bass line for the entire track. Bassline is always a foundation eventhough there's no actual instrument playing it.

There's so many people going for an 'effect' here (including myself) often disregarding the very basics.

I didn't mean really transposing your piano an octave higher (which would be probably very ridiculous-sounding), it's all about the piano chord voicings. If you play some of chord structures (voicings) too low on the piano it will sound very strange and harmonically unclear.

Hope some of this is useful.

Best, A.

P. S. tried to add many YT links but comment was refused

Xyllent, Hello.

Generally, I do things dark, loud, and aggressive. So, when I hear other people do these chill out tunes, I really enjoy them. It's like taking a break from my own mind. This track provides an excellent backdrop for a temporary escape. To me, it has a very fluid, almost cool aquatic feel to it.

You said that you were thinking it's not finished. I agree with many of the others. There's really no need to do much else. I think the only idea I have, is to add forest noises. You know, Birds chirping, a stream, maybe an occasional buzz from a passing bee. But pan them all out to give them dimension.

I don't know. That may be a lame idea. Like I said, I usually do dark, loud and aggressive.

All in all, I like the track as it is. Excellent work.

Take care.

Really like this one X...I really wouldn`t suggest you do much if anything to it...the minimal approach really works...everything sounds nice and clear...its the kind of easy listening stuff that just leaves you with a smile (I`ve been cluttering the hell out of my mixes lately...so I`m paying attention to what you have hear)...Its good listening over my way...really well done..Fav....Ed

Yet again, another grate track XyIlent
Man you are way above almost reaching stars with your music.
Great job well done

Thanks

Loving all these field recordings from space :D I must've missed the flight. I'm so stowing away on the next one! Sounds great :D If you feel some of the piano chords are too low just bump them up an octave, it really wont change the flavor of them just reduces some of the really low lows. I had to do that on a recent track.

hey!

I think you played some chords on piano too low (I mean a lower keyb. range). There's also too much processing added when going for a 'modern sound' - that very final 3:17 chord doesn't sound anymore like a real piano to me anymore. Probably there's too much of lower freqs in there, I do not know...

There's some interesting thread about it https://www.looperman.com/forum/thread/183362/mixing-grand-piano-from-hell

Hope some of this is useful.

Best, Alex

I absolutely agree with the others...beautiful work! It's already very good as it is. Ofcourse, there's always room for improvement and if you want to take it even on a higher level
I'm sure you will make it.:)

We -peoples- always have a willing to discover the outer space...
This is an outstanding journey from the outside! Have you been there?
For me it is one of the best soundscaping track from here...

My hats off, this is a true artwork!

With my greatest appreciation, Danke

I agree with silverman. Love it the way it is :) I'm already downloading it. Great job!

Very very pleasant.
Relaxing.
Thoughtful.
In my unqualfied opinion it sounds fantastic as it is.
Really nice vibe to it.
