on I Am Here ft Stacy Robinson by mrwolf14
Nice track! :)
However, to my liking, the drum kit's reverb is way too loud and long, maybe could've put this effect on the singer's voice to glue it together a bit more.
I find the synths quite interesting :>

Hi Joyce,
Thanks for the comment.
I could probably use some more reverb on Stacy's voice, but I wanted to have it sounding "dry as a funeral drum".
For me this is a "sad" song; even if I did not write the text, Stacy's words are a perfect fit for this track.
She is buried in the indifference of the world around her, and all the noises of everyday's life are just making she feeling more and more distant.
This is also the reason for the heavy reverb on the drums: I wanted each snare hit to be a "shock".
Sorry for the lengthy explanation of my intents... not sure I achieved what I wanted but I gave it a try!
Thanks again for finding the time to comment the track.
Ciao, Domenico

on Stealth Matriculation Vocal Mix by Spivkurl
Heehee, Tetris in hard mode :D
Don't you hear that a lot of the notes aren't in the same key? o:

Hello, thank you for listening and commenting! Can you come back and give me specific time segments where you felt that the notes were not in key? I guess I will beg to differ until you give me more information. I really would value your reply though, as maybe I have made a mistake somewhere. Thank you in advance!

on Malicious Intentions by AsidRayne
I've got some suggestions, you may ignore this! ^^;
The synth sounds starting around 0:40 could be reduced a lot, because it's a tiny nibble bit too loud~
And add a few melodies? But maybe that's not what you want in this track.
Well, it sure sounds aggressive! =^._.^= ∫

on Chameleon by DouglasS
Uuuh, to me this'll sound fun while playing the 'ancient' ping pong and asteroid games in dos :D
I'm digging this! -Digs tunnel- :>

on Beautiful Day - Preview by Avikt
I assume this middle part you took is the bridge or intro?
If it's one of both, then I think it's a bit too long if this is place in an entire track!
Don't listen to me if you don't agree! ^^;
Avikt
Avikt replied 21st Dec 2014 - 10 years ago
The part i took is the bridge. I understand you think is too long, but, in the entire song, there is only one bridge, and one drop, and it was my goal to make something a bit long, but always upfilting before the drop (i cut the preview before the drop !)
ps: sorry for my english ...

on De Immenso TTB2 by Leverett
Interesting. Which VSTs did you use?
When the refrain starts 1:48 the melody is good, but then quickly turns into playing random notes, sadly.

on The last tribe by WernerGilroy
The song sounds very basic to me. And the melodic synths seem out of place o:
Near the end where the beat loop stops suddenly with a threshold clip could maybe be switched to the beat fading out~
WernerGilroy
WernerGilroy replied 21st Dec 2014 - 10 years ago

on ROCK ALTERNATIVE INSTRUMENTAL BEAT by DeLaBeatz
Well, I'm sorry if you don't understand mixing very well yet.
It wasn't an opinion. No need to get so hostile over some feedback ^^
DeLaBeatz
DeLaBeatz replied 21st Nov 2014 - 10 years ago
Sorry you took it the wrong way. But yea its an opinion. The other guy who commented says the mixing quality was good. You say its to loud so that makes it your opinion.

Joyce 21st Nov 2014 13:52 - 10 years ago

on ROCK ALTERNATIVE INSTRUMENTAL BEAT by DeLaBeatz
The bass drum from the drum kit seems to be slightly too loud to the rest of the instruments. It's enhanced or EQ'd?
I'm listening through my studio headphones from Sennsies HD 380 Pro for your info.

To me, I feel like this is missing a melody. Maybe an electric distorted guitar can fit in to make this complete.
DeLaBeatz
DeLaBeatz replied 21st Nov 2014 - 10 years ago
Thanks for listening. The bass to me sounds good on my speakers (krk rokits) also when I played it in my car it sounded fine. But hey we all have different prefrences and opinions on how we like our bass.

on Ravers Orchestra by S1lver
Right at 0:04 there's a threshold glitch, lowering the volume of the synth melody by a few dB could fix that. I heard another one at 0:45.

At 0:46 It's nice to hear a change to a string ensemble in staccato. If you have the tools, you could add more reverb to this, so it's more glued together and feels as a whole.

Try playing with the velocities if you want, because the track has a constant same volume.
It's fun to hear a different track, I like the idea behind this :)
S1lver
S1lver replied 21st Nov 2014 - 10 years ago
Hey- thanks for the times of these, I haven't been able to tell where it was. I'm still a little new to the program I use (mixcraft 6) and I'm now fiddling with equilizers. That sound made a static at any volume I set it to, which makes me think it's the key. Thank you for this! I haven't had this problem in the past as my headphones are really good and tend to pick up stuff like that. Effects are new to me and I need to figure those out. Thanks for the help!

on Green Shuffle Aka SCCM by Orlando51
Very interesting intro with the bagpipes! When the saxophone plays, it gave a little jazz feeling at first, but with the percussion's rhythm, it's more of a western style than anything else, it's cool.
The track is nicely glued together.
Orlando51
Orlando51 replied 17th Nov 2014 - 10 years ago
Yeah, it is a mixture of many things. I like doing eclectic stuff although it's not always necessarily a good idea. The ingredients must be properly balanced to make the track sound ok. I hope that we succeeded this time in that respect.
Thanks alot for the positive feedback!:)

With appreciation____Orlando

on in the game -like a boss- looperman xxl by failingtimes
Very nice combinations of loops used!
Like promenade2239 said, it sounds more of an electronic track than dubstep.
This is really fun to listen to :D
failingtimes
failingtimes replied 16th Nov 2014 - 10 years ago
Thank you, I usually take several loops and chop them together to make a new one. I strictly use acid pro, they have a great chopper so I can do just that.

Thank you again for the kind words. FT

on But It Wasnt Love So by ade1980
After 1:02 the acoustic guitar seems to disappear a little and the volume levels overall don't seem to be mixed properly.
It's really neat how you put together a song so quickly. However, using a higher quality microphone will already make a huge difference!
Keep it up :)

on See Through by GoldenOokami
I don't know the song, but this sounds very nice.
However, I have to point out which piano you used. The piano sounds slightly dull and one you'd use during vintage times.
Maybe if you use a Yamaha piano, it could sound prettier? o:
GoldenOokami
GoldenOokami replied 14th Nov 2014 - 10 years ago
Thank you for your recommendation. Believe it or not, I'm using the best stuff I have. In this situation, I'm using Nexus 2, Dance Volume 2. Other VST's are too robotic and uninteresting. Fl Keys is very great for my CPU, but it's sounding is way too computerized. I apologize for my sounding being not pretty, but when you only have so much make-up, you do the best that you can. :) Take care, and thanks again!

on New Original - Feedback Needed WIP by Axion
In my opinion, this piece is great. However, the synth melody in the beginning and end could make be altered to a slightly more friendly synth? Because now it sounds like it's attacking thy ears.
That's all the feedback I got. I really like the wobbies in this though ^^
Axion
Axion replied 10th Nov 2014 - 11 years ago
Thank you so much for your advice. I agree that the lead is a bit ear-peircing haha! Will be changing that for sure.

And you made me laugh out loud with "attacking thy ears" and "wobbies" haha

on Tournament by Byleth
In the melody, I mostly hear random notes that are out of tune o.O But that's okey, people like that. I guess.
Sorry, I don't know what else to say about this D:
Byleth
Byleth replied 10th Nov 2014 - 11 years ago
by melody you means in overall(the strings) of just the "surprise" one at 2:05 ? and thanks for this comment. To be honest I did some kind of impro for all the melodies so maybe this look a lot ramdom :S

But I think each togeter make sometings NOT ramdom check at 3:00 min when the string overlap the "surprise" solo !

Again thanks for this comment

on Do You Feel by Cestevens1783
Very pretty sounding track :) Does remind me of a drama movie when stuff happens.~ And then a song like this plays up front.
Your voice is really interesting, did you apply filters or an equalizer on purpose or was it the mic? ^^
Bringing in the L-mid tones with an equalizer would definitely bring more tone and clarity to your beautiful voice.

Cestevens1783 replied 26th Oct 2014 - 11 years ago
I don't use a real mic...it's just a headset and I use garageband to record it. There are diff set ups with that of course, and I will say it again, that I really should invest in a real one eventually.. ha. Thanks again!

on Falsified Hope EazyBeatz Edit by EazyBeatz
The accordion intro reminds me a bit of my country :P
The piano is applied in a nice way, doesn't jump out too much, which is good.
The deep bass rolls sound interesting to this track.
I would prefer this track without the synth arps.

on Rise Of The War Dog by MWRatridge
Yay! I finally found another orchestral composer!
It's nicely done. But to criticize your instruments. You could go for a higher quality string ensemble: Session Strings, CineStrings, BML or Symphobia series.
Also, most of the time the brass seems to be shouting quite a lot of the same notes instead of giving an actual melody to listen to.
:)
