on Winde wehn Schiffe gehn - Farewell my Love by Seelengold
Das ist jetzt wirklich mal richtig falsch eingeordnet.
Und so bescheuert ich das ganze mit den Genres auch finde, hier ist es wirklich wichtig zu unterscheiden (meiner kleinen, unwichtigen Meinung nach)
Das ist kein Folk. Nicht mal wenn man sehr kreativ ans deuten geht :) Das ist Filmmusik. Und als Filmmusik sogar richtiggehend gut. Aber als Folksong völlig daneben. Wenn ich Folk höre und geil finde und klicke auf dieses Lied wäre ich enttäuscht und würde mich etwas veralbert vorkommen. Pack es in cinematic und alles ist gut :)
Wie gesagt, als Idee für eine Filmscene, super angenehm und abholend. Alles drin was einem in den Hafen versetzt usw..
Wird wahrscheinlich völlig überbewertet von mir aber hier erscheint mir ein Genre wirklich mal als wichtig.
stay tuned

Du hast recht!
Bei dem Genre war ich mir auch nicht so richtig sicher, hatte mich dann aber fuer Folk entschieden, weil mir alle anderen, die ich tatsaechlich durchgescrollt hatte, als voellig unzutreffend erschienen.
Und dazu gesellte sich sicherlich auch meine automatische Ableitung als Folk von "Winde wehn, Schiffe gehn".
Aber auf Cinematic/Film waere ich im Traum nicht gekommen.
Nein, auf das Genre zu achten, ist keine Ueberbewertung von Dir. Wen es nicht passt, ist bereits die erste Disharmonie "im" Lied. Und mit der ggf. verursachten Enttaeuschung bzw. Veralberung liegst Du genauso richtig.
Ich habe das Lied soeben unter Cinematic einsortiert.
Recht vielen Dank fuer Deinen Hinweis!

on make the champagne pop by dimestop
I realy could enjoy your work.
I could now do tons of lines about what i found realy great and uplifting and what was where right on spot in the track. How great the vocals are and and and. But i think a lot have done that already before me, so i don't wanna repeat it all again :)
But just because it's such a good song, i take the liberty to say what I feel could be improved (and that really doesn't mean anything)
As a singer, I know the problems with singing all too well.
You know all the words and therefore always recognize them. No matter whether they sound loud, quiet, clean, overdriven or otherwise. This is probably the same for most singers who produce. This is usually a bit counterproductive because you don't hear or perceive "reality" at all.
The singing is too loud and mixed a bit too "differently" and forces you to turn the volume down quite a bit so that you can understand the lyrics well. This is feasible, but prevents you from being able to hear the music well. But since we all always want to have everything :) we are always missing one of the two. Give yourself a jerk and try a new mix. (I know that is totally corrosive and extremely nerft). But it would take this song to a much higher level.
Turn the vocals down, some parts a little less bright, others a little less effekts and everything is perfect. Not much but just a bit of ..... tweaking :) ( i am also really bad in it when it comes to my own singing)
Don't take all of this as criticism. I just think that this song is so good that you should invest some more time to make good perfect.
stay tuned
joe
and please don't ever stop being constructive, your like the rest of us and only want the best for each other. constructive critique is a tool to be used wisely it should be built into your daw, a pop up window thats says STOP FUCKING ABOUT MATE :)) thanks for your props about the track too, really appreciate that
on Tears of the Member by crucethus
long time not seen.
It was time for me to hear a wonderful "cru" song again. Come on, let's mix together whatever works and then we'll top it off with things that belong, wherever, but weren't to be expected here. You know that I like something like that anyway. So you have once again created something that I personally really like. In addition, it is bursting with life and I like that a lot, although I personally don't feel like that at all, right now. But what do i cry around in the virtual space, about my own feelings to life, the track is great. Cheers to music, cheers to life, cheers to people. If you have time, you should turn this song up loud and let it rip so that you can feel something of life and its driving force.
Did I already say that I think the track is really great?
As always, everything done right (at least for me
I wish you all the best Cru and

on humanoid moccasins truth by WatayaandBobo
I read vox and thought there were lyrics :)
Well, they didn't really exist, but that didn't matter.
Beautiful music to trip and dream but also to dance with your eyes closed. Not too wild, not too aggressive, not too banged up. A really nice mix. I like.
You both did a fine job!
stay tuned

on German Melancholy by Seelengold
Ja, der Weltschmerz. Da kann ich ein Lied von singen. Mein letztes "Werk" das ich hier veröffentlicht habe, geht ziemlich in die gleiche Richtung, nur wesentlich elektronischer :)
Dein Lied hat wirklich etwas dieser Stimmung aus der Romantik eingefangen. Immer wieder vermutet man dass etwas bestimmtes erklingt/erscheint. So als wenn man vertraut mit der Musik ist, obwohl man sie noch nie zuvor gehört hat. Schön.
Was deine Frage nach dem Abmischen und mastern usw. angeht, kann ich dir nur einen Tip geben, den ich vor Jahren hier bekommen habe. - Nimm ein Lied das ähnlich ist und wirklich professionell produziert wurde. Am besten von einem deiner Lieblingsmusiker. Hör dir das Lied /Album ganz genau an. Den Klang der/des Instruments, die Stimmung, Akustik, Raum, Hall usw.. Dann nimm deine Aufnahme und versuche mit EQ Raum und Hall/Echo genau diesen Klang zu produzieren. Sieh dir zB die Frequenzen deines Stars an und dann deine ..... Am Ende wirst du natürlich nicht 100%ig zufrieden sein aber du wirst feststellen das es immer besser klingt und dir vieles beim nächsten Stück wesentlich leichter von der Hand geht.

da denkt man so, man sei in der Welt unterwegs und ploetzlich wohnt einer mal eben um die Ecke... Du zerstoerst ja mein ganzes kosmopolitisches Lebensgefuehl hier; unversehens werde ich zurueck in die Provinz befoerdert. Was erlauben Struuunz, aehh, was erlauben Joe?
“So als wenn man vertraut mit der Musik ist, obwohl man sie noch nie zuvor gehrt hat. Schn.”
Dein Kompliment beruehrt mich richtig. Mit der “Vertrautheit” stimme ich Dir absolut zu. Mitunter ist mir das tatsaechlich auch richtig unheimlich. Ich denke dann so bei mir: Sag mal, bist du dir wirklich sicher, dass das von dir ist oder bildest du dir da was ein?
Andererseits hoere ich seit ca. 20 Jahren kein Radio mehr, weil mir die staendigen Wiederholungen der NDR-Sender damals auf die Nerven gingen und auch ansonsten praktisch keine Musik (abgesehen von den Songs hier jetzt, wo ich immer mal wieder reinhoere) mehr.
Ich glaube inzwischen ganz allgemein, dass diese grundsaetzliche existenzielle“Vertrautheit” existiert und man ihr mitunter in verschiedenen Situationen des Lebens begegnet. Umstaende, die einem nach objektiven Gesichtspunkten sehr fremd sind; aber im Widerspruch dazu stellt sich das damit an sich verbundene Fremdheitsgefuehl merkwuerdigerweise nicht ein, sondern stattdessen greift eine rational nicht zu erklaerende Vertrautheit Raum.
Ich bin nicht religioes, aber bei mir hat sich in den Jahren so ein diffuses Gefuehl entwickelt, als ob das was mit Gott zu tun haben koennte. Nicht zwingend in persona, aber als etwas, dem ich vertraut bin und das mir vertraut ist.
Recht vielen Dank fuer Deine Hinweise zum Abmischen und Mastern! Irgendwie ist das eine unerfreuliche Arbeit, finde ich. Und ich neige sehr dazu, mich davor zu druecken, wohlwissend natuerlich, dass das dazugehoert. Eine Melodie zu entwickeln macht Spass, das andere nicht. Hm... erinnert mich jetzt an Eiskunstlauf, Kuer und Pflicht und so...
Vielen Dank fuers Reinhoeren und Kommentieren!

on GIVE YOU ALL MY LIFE ft Brado Sanz - Second Nature by secondnature1
I almost never write a comment about a song or a track if I don't like it. Now you might think that I would make an exception here, but I'm not the type of person who often deviates from his line. :)
That's why I can't do anything else and solemnly declare that I'm thrilled!
Vocals that are free, clear, strong and above all good, oh what am I saying good, no, that are sung very well.
In addition, the music conveys a really catchy fine melody. It's underlaid with a well danceable beat and it's also well mixed. What's the bad thing to write about? I can't find anything there. Except maybe that you didn't dare to name it like it should be. :) Of course it's somehow electronic music, but in reality it's of course electronic, danceable, pop music. But that's just silly, stupid, whining on an extremely high level and without any deeper meaning.
Everything is right here and I really like it!
Respect! and much appreciation to all involved.
stay tuned
joe
Thanks again!

on Expectations feat Pane by Micky
You really did a great job there.
At first I thought, well, that sounds pretty nice, but somehow "simple". But after a short moment I was fully into it.
The soundscape is really successful and it fits perfectly to the vocals. You did a really good mix with the vocals. They sound good and the effects are right and fit.
Everything sounds fresh and funky and a bit spacy.
Definitely a track to dance to.
Since I'm not feeling very well and I'm a bit shaky, I couldn't pull myself out of my chair and dance around. But I rocked and jumped really hard on my chair.
I liked it all very much - great song
stay tuned
joe
Get well soon!

on Kansas City by theHumps
That's a fresh song.
Something funny. Something dynamic. Something raw or rather wild.
Something crazy. ..... So many something.
Is it too many? NO, certainly not.
It's like cooking, there could/should be some spices in it.
For all those who thought that they would get something here that was almost tasteless and for those who hoped to get boring monotony here, this POP song is probably not for them.
But I liked it and I would like to have another plate full.
stay tuned
joe
It turned out good, fun. Got a decent response to the humor in it while trying to keep it sounding serious at the same time.
Thanks Joe! Haven't seen you around much, be well man!

on ProPAIN - Greyscale by Verseza
Consistently wild.
Just give it your all :)
Sounds a bit like kicking the ass and laughing at it.
Sounds a bit evil and merciless.
Go to the limits and treat yourself to nothing.
Class!
And it sounds good too.
It's not for most.
But for the others it is perfectly suitable

Hello Mykael
I think your standards are much higher than most people here.
Most of the time it's all about "the song". Likes this? Does it sound reasonable? Is there something fundamentally wrong that can be changed quickly? Something like that anyway.
And if you listen to this song here under these aspects, then it's a 100% number. Everything top and nothing to complain about. Even the singing you described as raw
it's great.
If that were my song, then I would be super happy.
So, everything done right. And if that can still be expanded for you, then I'm curious about the end result.
stay tuned
joe
Thank you so much for taking the time to listen. I am humbled by the comments you have posted. I am also very happy you enjoyed the track in its current form.
LovePeace&Light,

on DJZB-Project - Fade Out feat Equinox by Zapps
It's really amazing here.
Everything sounds clean and is well mixed.
It has a simple but catchy beat.
In fact, there is nothing to seriously sneer at or complain about.
And if you judge it objectively, it's a solid track that has been properly processed and goes in the direction of the mainstream.
And doing everything right.
This is so amazing because (at the time of this comment) 6 people have downloaded this track but no one has written a comment.
Really amazing and unbelievable sad....
So if your goal was to make a radio-ready song, then you've achieved your goal. -Respect-
stay tuned
joe
Love everything you have written.
But maybe downloading is also a kind of comment, isn't it ? I'll pretend it is. :)
on Aftermath by DijamMusic
great song
first cream in terms of sound - as we say in Germany
great, deep bass
I'm a bit confused because it's actually a bit too dark for you. which I still like very much.
I have just had an operation and can only write with my left hand and that is exhausting.
so more later.
but I'm glad you're still here, I had to write quickly.
So, great work, I really like it!
stay tuned my friend

on LETS PLAY by T576
First i have to say that jazz isn't something i often listen to. So i only can say something about the mix and mastering and there i can only say good things. Well made, well produced, nice sounds, nice mixing, nice guitar playing.
Well done!

Great sound, cool mixing, excellent beat and groove like hell.

on Thing about me by BONEZONMARZ
1. you do something wrong. If that's the case then you need to make your stuff free to download. Thats the only thing you can change.
2. Bad community - They just don't give comments cause they are to cool or good or both to give a helping hand to no names and beginners. So you cant change it

i really wonder why not more commented to this one, cause it is really well made, well sung, well mixed and so on. Maybe it is not every body's stuff but it is for sure not bad at all. At least i could really enjoy my listen and i am not a big fan of this style of music.
Is it all you? music, lyrics, vocals, production?

on Hang on For Your Dear Life by crucethus
Really rocking stuff with a nice relaxing part.
Everything is, as always, well produced and sounds over all very good.
But, :) and thats really only me and my feelings to sounds, i had made the guitars sound more like a real guitar or more like a hard synth sound, cause so it sounds to me like a synth that should sound like a guitar :) if you know what i mean.
The drums are extremly cool sounding!
A really cool work for sure and i enjoyed it a lot
stay tuned
joe
I know you are a purist when it comes to sound and authenticity. So please bear with my experimenting trying to drag rock into the future. I purposely am trying to blend the guitar-synth sound textures using VST´s to create something new. This is a strange hybrid of Blast beat drumming, Ambient pads, U2 edge like guitars over thrash chugs with a moving bass, and strange synth burps. None of that should work together in theory, but magically it does.
But that's the fun of experimentation, you never know what you will get until you try.
take care.
