Haha, say it isn't so... A cover of Thriller. Nice one! Now I'm gonna let it play the rest of the way through.
Play 2 now...
This was done with Midi wasn't it? I can totally hear it with some of the higher keys. It also sounds like ya might've used a Guitar too, am I right? Anyways, with the Midi stuff ya might wanna be careful with the soundfont you use because some of 'em sound kinda outta place IMO. Other than that this was pretty cool. Later on!

Being a fellow Mag user I could recognize alot of what ya used on here. And I think ya did a pretty good job on mixing this. Though there were parts that kinda stuck out a bit to me.
Oh, and you may or may not know this, but Revolta allows you to mess with the individual instrument hit's sound. Allowing you to give 'em a more natural sound. By default the kick's compression sounds too synthetic for my tastes. Anyways, this is givin me ideas so thanks for sharing. Later on!

on The way you(always) make me feel by johnthebhoys
Love the samples used, tone down the overall mix a little bit that way one sound is not drowning out the other, as well the track is a bit jumpy! going into totaly different riffs, this tack is chill and good overall production skills. Sounds more like a reveiw of a sample CD then an actual track with movenment. Gets a little lost towards the end. Still I dig the Jazz feel with the asian mix!

Keep Rocking

More of a Dirty Breakt Beat! Good production skills, gets a little lost on the arrangement i.e. Direction but overall great track..Love the vocal sample at the beginning! Mabey could of added a nive base riff to tie in the drum pattern with the piano.

Good work!

Keep Rocking!

Not to shabby. I like the synth riffs here, got some cool patterns going. It could use more depth though, there's alot of focus on the high notes with no bass tones to accompany it. Perhaps a stir of cello to fill the lower notes would give the song more power. Love the vocals though, don't know if they were sampled or recorded from scratch but either way they fit beautifully.

I just let this play and take me through the journey. Very well put together. Your transitions were very clean. Everything is so crisp.

I really like the chords, I just think you need a huge thumping low conga hit, like a water drum or a deep china to compliment those congas in the foreground. Other than that great work.

Great choice on voices. The glockenspiel thing at the beginning helps the song carry forward nicely.

I like the huge variation in sounds, but it does remove a bit of song cohesion. The track just goes everywhere. If you want it to be more together (which you may not, I don't know), you can try pulling a melody from the beginning and dropping musical references to it later in the song.

Oh, also... make sure your loops are allowed for this sort of thing. The site owner's been cracking down on illicit sampling lately.

many thanks for the tec, i appreciate all comments and am learning at every turn. although some of the meandering was intentional as it was a day of dreaming- but i agree a more together sound is amiable( did produce it for me originally)- im certainly not a cohesive thinker..loops are legal

It took me on a little journey. I was going to type a review while I listened to the song, but I got really pulled into listening.

I thoroughly enjoyed this track. Thanks for posting.
