Description : Trying to get my mojo working this last few weeks. I feel some potential in this here effort but needs a lot more doing to it .... which I'll probably not get round to doing anyway. I've become a bit lazy.

Has to come and hear another one of yours this morning! I like the compositional ideas behind this one very much!

The simulated live drum feel is quite cool in the context, and adds a lot to the vibe and groove.

The bass performance is awesome. I guess I found myself hoping for more "beef" to the bass recording though. It sounded like it could be doubled and phase cancelling, or possibly it was a too deep EQ process. It sounded good, but kind of felt lost amongst the other elements.

Seems like the ideas present in this song could be fleshed out into an entire EP, since there are so many aspects, especially later in the song. Would be a fun and trippy disc to spin!

There was the sound of strong clipping in sections. Lowering some of the parts could help with the presence of the bass while healing the clipping. It's hard to say though.

I enjoyed the funk soul, my brothah.

Very interesting track, I wonder if they would consider playing this on the good old ferries. I wonder if they are still running. I've not been down that way for quite some time...

Well this is a pretty funktastic piece. There's some mojo in here for sure, so I don't think you've lost it at all. I like the first half better than the second, however. The break at about 2:55 felt a bit abrupt, and then I felt the 2nd part was less cohesive than the first, like you're trying out some ideas but they haven't quite completely gelled. I like the darkness of the cello(?) but then couldn't follow some of the musical logic of how that was incorporated into the flow. There's definitely potential here, and mojo, so break out of that lazy funk and get to work!

I enjoy the funky groove, familiar sounds and some great use of strings. Also some unexpected dissonance along the way which I am always up for!

I might stick with the funky synth sounds more and the acoustic sounds somewhat less for coherence sake.

Great writing - lots of development and variety. It's an enjoyable ride! Best regards - Dan

Thank you Sparks. I'm really struggling to find that creative spark just now but working away on my keyboard skills and Ableton 9 so not being lazy.

Sounds like something Carlos Santana and his 15 man band would play in the 60s, this part part of the jam is the 40 minute mark when the acid trip starts to kick in for most of the band members. Some of the band members already took their acid 2 or 3 hours ago. In the jam you can hear Santana experimenting with diferent guitars and guitar sounds but sometimes he's just laid out on the floor, great stuff.

If this sounds very 60's then my age is showing!
Haven't dropped a tab in about forty years!
Thank you for your wonderful commentary.

Yo.

This has a pretty cool vibe and a really good groove and a good, solid low end thump. A really big sound. Well produced though definitely too loud, as you tend to do.

It's funky and I like the additional percussion ie the second drum kit/loop.

0:32 really not a synth sound that appeals to me. Just too silly. The longer note that it morphs into is OK but the first few notes sound too cheesy.

1:03 funky, jazzy bass guitar playing more like a guitar. Great stuff there.

2:15 good synth sound. An arp, I believe.

Overall, you're onto a winner with this as it has a cool vibe.

It actually sounds like a lot something Crucethus might make. Sample-heavy and quite a varied ride. Creative stuff.

Great Job

Thanks Cruce. Playing with Ableton 9 at the mo which I'm new to. Seems excellent. Just need a creative wave or three to come over me now.

Description : 'The main point of this song is really about the frustrations of living in the overload of today's World of Tech. The consequences are impaired communication and that if you advance too far you end up diminishing what you had to start with, so you are way worse off.' Enjoy a 60s Rhythm with a modern deep Bass, a Sitar, a Piano from EvilPianist, a lost flute from UniverseHuston and some Oscillators :-)

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.

Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.

Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.
