Description : This is another one, I had sitting on my computer for a bit, but didn't upload because of mixing issues. The mix of this one is terrible (imo), and didn't want to upload until I could mix it better. Unfortunately I have no time to mix this, so i'll just upload it as it is until I can mix it a bit better. Other than the mixing of it, tell me what you think of it thus far.

Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).

Description : So I'm way outside my comfort zone with this one! Not even sure if "Deep House" is the genre? Comments please

I think I've written this piece several times before but never got around to finishing. It shows my "dark side" (I like synthesisers!) Some of the sections may be a bit long but the main idea was to create an infection groove.

It's an early mix and there's still lots to do but would appreciate some thoughts on what I have so far. Should I stick to Pop, Blues and Rock? Anyway, it's an effort on my part to push the envelope a bit and see what comes out. I hope you like it.

Comments always welcome and thanks for listening.

Description : Took a shot at making a dubstep styled track using loops from this site.

Guitar Loops and Orchestral Drums created by ShortBusMusic
Drum Loop 1 (Moment of Madness) created by RaptureOfficialMusic
Drum Loop 2 (Skrillex Style Drum Loop) & Skrillex style Growl created by SkipyOfficialMusic
Drum Loop 3 (Banger Drums) created by Jorge Daniel Ramirez
Synth by SintheticRecords

Dubstep is not my forte, nor something I listen to a whole lot of, but I wanted to just give it a shot and see what came from it. Sorry about the crappy vocals, I recorded them before I had a good mic and it was refusing to pick up so I basically had my hands cupped around my mouth when I was singing lol.

I have no idea why I wrote the lyrics to this song. Was thinking of Fallout: New Vegas a little bit at the time. Technically, this is my second song based on Fallout lore, but I don't know if I uploaded the other one to here or not

The bit at the end is a reference to Pink Floyd's "In The Flesh?".

Description : A pretty apt representation of where I'm at in life right now.

I would call it atmoshpheric as opposed to ambient but I think this is the best choice out of the available options.

Made entirely with midi.

Comments and critiques appreciated. I know there's a point where the synth mallets (You'll know them when they come in) are a bit too quiet, particularly toward the end of the song, so I'm aware of that already.

Instruments used are piano, synth mallet, synth, and drums.

There's a bit of inspiration from Minecraft's music and the instrumental tracks on Linkin Park's "A Thousand Suns" album (the distinction between the two is pretty evident, I hope). The mallet part didn't come from anything in particular.

Enjoy.

Description : ccMixter.org has some a thing called Secret Mixter, where you need to make a remix using stuff from another ccMixter. This is where my track comes from. I was assigned for a sound engendering who had uploaded a professional Acapella. I have also gotten many samples from ccMixter, all listed here:
http://ccmixter.org/api/query?t=upload_histogram&;ids=32419

It's not my favourite kind of music, but I really enjoyed having done it.

It's the first time i did something a little bit decent. The drums are rubish, but I really tried to push on Brass. I kind of fell in love for remixing when I had recorded a sax line on Reason, but it sounded a bit fake. Then i founded a sax sample which perfectly matched with the sax i had recorded. Played together they didn't sound fake.

Remix is beautiful!

Description : A little bit of an experiment I did with fl studio's strumizer and arpeggiator tools, and it sounded a bit dull, so I remixed it and now it sounds a lot better. I used the vst plugin Tone2 Gladiator 2 for the bass and the pad, I used refx for those chimes (which was originally a piano) in the middle and at the end, and also for the drums (with the exception of the kick which was fl's fruit kick) and I also used Nexus for the sweeps.

I spent a good amount of time on this track so please take time to review my song.

This song was heavily inspired by above and beyond (especially the intro) and also is inspired by some amazing piano artists on youtube.

Enjoy!

Description : Thanks firstly to 'miots' for some excellent acoustic loops on here - I hope I have done some of them some justice! This song actually started out as a tribute to a friend that died recently - but I had a hard time fitting words to the tune - and so its turned into a bit of a 'dead' love song instead - A bit sparse in places thanks to me loosing some vocals I had recorded for the start and the middle - but pretty pleased with the overall result - Comments and feedback much appreciated - Justin x

Description : Hi Guys n Gals,

While scouring the accapella section i came accross a cracking accapella called lost and found by Dvickers.

EDIT:

Iv just updated this with the finished thing..

Iv added a little string part in there as i felt the lower mid range was a bit empty in places, and iv done a little bit of a re-arainge nothing fancy just a snip in parts, there are still a couple of treble issues here n there but due to time restraints iv not been able to iron them all out...

Please do have a listen as any and all constructive input is welcome..

Oh and another big thank you to Derek for the vocal :)

Description : This track was made back in late 2008 when i was really startin to dig this drum n bass ting. I saw Pendulum live and loved their drum n bass "live rock band thing" goin on. That inspired me back then, and I've always played guitar and wanted to use it in a drum n bass track without being too over the top as to be the main element, and i also wanted to include a live feel to the drums, so i spent a bit of time fussing about with them in Live's Drum Rack with some carefully sampled snippets of a few tracks i was listening to at the time. I think i slammed this one in Izotope Ozone quite a bit on the master buss, but anyway.....you live n learn. Sort of adds a gritty edge to i think. Anyway, hope you dig it. Bass includes the use of NI's Massive & guitar through NI's Guitar Rig 2. Enjoy responsibly

Description : Starts out in a jungle scene at night with some lfo'd bass and then there's the ramblings up to the 1st drop, which are probably overused a bit in hindsight and don't really make sense to the jungle scene.........so use your imagination...........i just wanted to use some sort of odd vocals that weren't sung at all. Anyway, the 2nd break has an unusually long build up to the 2nd drop which has this scary sample that has been used earlier on throughout the track come smack you right in your face along with the bass. So get ready!! Coz its gonna' hurt! A bit more loop orientated in this one, although still featuring some programmed midi stuff & some samples courtesy of freesound.org users,eric5335,yewbic & rutgermuller. Enjoy responsibly.

Description : This is good IDM music.
Used FL4, vocoders, no synths for melody here, only samplers. No loops.
Drums made with some kits and recorded some by mouth. What u hear at begining is my beatbox(processed some) beat in a slicer.
The 8 bit music effects made with random arpegiator so actually music. Also some of melody playes throgh vocoder + drumsinth live with some random parametrs from the formula controller.
So that medloy sound a bit different each time. I not have source files anymore for earlier than 2009 as I said.
The track really is 2004 year.

Description : it's got more PUNCH than before!!!

Tried to write an anthem here...hence the title!! I always try and make a song I would dance to in a club...And I would dance to this......
Ok, so this has been my project for the last 8 weeks or so...I would have finished it sooner, if I had more time!

I have used an acapella of Holly's and let her know, however I have asked her if she might do another bit of vocal for it, as It is a wee bit repetitive at times (I think....maybe just because I've heard it sooo many times!!!)
Hope you all like it, and reviews and suggestions are always appreciated..
I am quite proud of this tune...BIG synths amd melodies as always!

Party On!!!
