Cool groove, cool bass, and cool samples.

OVERALL QUALITY = VERY COOL!

Keep up the work, man.

on why cant they stand the sunlight by doudei
hi doudei, I am a fan of your playing. I wish I could also do that in such an easy and nimble way as you did here - my touch seems to be quite different - more 'in the keyboard' and much heavier, something à la Keith Jarrett. Thats because of my former classical training.

Very fine retro-styled track, lot of fun. I enjoyed the production and the sound quality you get on your tracks. Congrats and Best, Alex

thanks Alex, i'm blushing a little!
i am not good at all technically, though.
can't even read sheet music, but that's no obstacle these days. like not having a fully equipped orchestra in your basement doesn't mean you can't orchestrate stuff in your underpants in front of the computer at 4AM on a wednesday morning.... :D

This is nice man =] has a cool groove to it. Especially when the bass comes in. Interesting sample too. Not what i pictured from reading the title, but pleasantly surprised. Short and sweet but i could listen to it on repeat!

hi again, very nice and clever work with loops... quite fast production though... I always like when someone says 'I will od something'... this site is run by a future outcome...haha!
anyway I am much enjoying your funky vibes... was listening also to your piano playing on Alicia Keys piano patches - its great! I admire such an efortless and laidback playing!

Hey Savino, this is really nice work. Great jazz/fusion piece that took a lot of thought to put together. Like Steve suggested, I think mastering this will take care of a few of the issues some people have raised. I think the beautiful thing about jazz/fusion is the way people all interpret it differently. Personally, I was extremely impressed with what you have done here and I would not change a thing. I can tell you that this piece held my attention from start to finish. And I definitely added it to my favorites.

Really well done in all aspects. You have my admiration and respect. Thanks for sharing this. I hope all is well.

Well, that’s an interesting concept. It’s a better track title with the extra characters though not quite sure how you’re supposed to say it out loud. Good point about sleep being a waste of energy (time?) for machines.

Anyway, you should try having your lead Rhodes instrument’s notes switch to another instrument (or 10). The reason I think Danke felt the track was a bit too long is because you keep this lead part going for too long while you vary the bass and drums around it. So, it’s not really offering anything new so could work better being shorter. The track won’t feel as long if you vary things more.

A lot of my synth work comes from somehow coming up with a good bunch of notes and then trying out having them played by every instrument I have in the rack. Amazing how different the notes sound when played by a new type of instrument. So, I just load up a new device with the notes already copied to it and cycle through the thousands of presets I have. I actually use the Reason Factory Sound Bank a lot. Tons of great stuff in there.

Real shame Reason doesn’t let you mute notes in its sequencer lanes (something that has pissed me off for years!) though you could trigger the Reason synths from Studio One as I’m sure you can mute MIDI notes in there. Use muting of notes to make the quite busy playing you already have much sparser and less busy (fewer notes).

Anyway, if you give each different section more variety and character, the whole thing will be a lot better. But people already like it as it is so you’re definitely on the way to something good.

I look forward to an improved version.

! means "not" and ++ means increment, so it's read as "while not asleep, increment sheep".
this code is syntactically correct but has one big flaw.
the general form of a while loop is while(condition_is_met)do_something; and it will execute do_something repeatedly as fast as possible until condition_is_met becomes untrue.
every machine running this code will just increment sheep for the rest of their uptime.

good point you make with instrument variety. i feel like i should experiment more with sound design and be more patient with experimenting.
generally i tend to have way too much release/tail on everything in the beginning of all new tunes and i should make more use of fine tuned envelopes early on. i get carried away quickly.
i have to check out how i can get reason device patch browsing via midi keyboard.
the abilty to mute individual notes is also something i would love to have in reason, it can be annyoing with multiple lanes.
also cloned clips would be very nice. you clone a clip, then edit either of the clones, the other clones automatically synchronize with the edited clip.

as always useful suggestions. thanks, i appreciate it!

Did anyone say it, yet? Okay, I'm gonna say it. This is without a doubt your best work YET!!!! When I get lost in a tune, I know something or somethings are definitely in the pocket...needless to say I got LOST in the tune! The fact that this is a work in progress speaks to your awesome chops.

Well I love all the sounds 1st of all super clean sounds all arounds...
But I do find that the Acoustic and the keys, at the top of the song
when the play the same phrase, in the turnaround chord of that phrase
they seem out of tune, with one another
Sounds as if the guitar is playing a minor and the keys are playing a diminished or a major 9th...
Believe me it just a little thing that tweaked my ear, I may be wrong in
saying so, but you asked for truth...
I love the work you've put into this, it shows you're talented....

Peace...TG.
