on Marnie Grant - Flying Away by MarnieG
Ahhh, those wide strings. So silky and wide. And I like the bass part as well. The way it works with that progression is beautiful. And the flute part really makes it all come together. The riff it plays really is catchy. Great work, the drums could be mixed a tad better, but it's not bad by any means. Sounds a bit odd in the mix - could be something that is caused by the frequency spectrum of the drums when layered over the instruments. While it stands just as well on its own, I think maybe making a bit of room in the frequency spectrum may help it to fit in just right to make a more cohesive whole.

on In Too Deep by ImproveWithError
Wow! I just came across this! I really dig the loosiness of the track. Feels raw, real. That bass provides a lot of punch and drives the heaviness into the song. Great work, always lovin' your stuff :) Btw, your mixing is improving!

Beautiful work. I enjoy your orchestral pieces very much. What software do you use for those strings? I love them.

thank you :-)

These strings are from Spitfire Audio's Albion 1.. beautiful to use, powerful & soft. These ones are layered and EQd.

on Almost and Never by Cestevens1783
I enjoy your use of synths :D I came across several of them myself, and I really enjoy your take on them. Your production is getting better as well! I particularly like that intro you did, so simple yet has a sense of meaning that I can't quite describe. You're making great progress, I can hear it :) Good work, looking forward to more from you!

Beautifully executed. I really do dig your arrangement as well. The vocal is absolutely gorgeous and your playstyle is quite intimate as well :) Fully enjoyed this one from start to finish!

Hey Brado

Thank you very much for your comments - they are much appreciated. I will pass on your words to Lisa too and I agree with you about the vocal. It's gorgeous. Glad you enjoyed it.

on Roar Stone by StaticNomad
Trepidacious greetings, my godly Nomad.

That electric guitar at the beginning immediately drew me in to the song, and then those drums kick in and everything sounds like a relaxed, slightly energized rock track.

The next segment introduces those synths that are oh so you! What program did you use for the drums? They sound pretty real.

And did you play that guitar yourself? Sounds pretty dang epic. I dig it so far, I particularly like the segment at 1:30 where the guitar has a solo of sorts with a really cool delay on it. The guitar work is definitely the coolest part for me so far, stands out against your other tracks in this regard in my humble opinion. Maybe the volume nob could be turned up just a notch here though, sometimes I feel like the beauty of the solo gets lost in the other sounds, but only at certain parts. Definitely not a deal-breaker by any means.

The synths that move in at 2:25 are the simple signature of your synthy-groovy-Nomad-y roots that I've come to love as I listen to more of your stuff. The guitar is quite bangin' here too. :P

I like the syrupy feeling you achieved with the distorted guitar at 3:12. Feels so...creamy, 100 percent dairy cream.

That next segment with the wide pads - what did you use for that? Is that the extended guitar you mentioned to Cru Dawg? DANG it sounds awesome, wow. My mind is blown. That was beautiful. My favorite part so far.

The jazzy, comfy electric part at the next segment is great! So smooth, so happy, so awesome. I like how the distortion made it into an entirely different part at the next part even though its the same piece. Wow, this is definitely one of your best works so far.

It gets better the further in I go. You could make some sick 3 minute rock tracks with your own flair if you really wanted to haha. Your guitar work definitely is not amateur, and your mixing skills only serve to make it sound bigger than life.

I LOVE THOSE STRETCHED GUITARS AT THE END. YOU COULD MAKE AN ENTIRE SONG WITH THOSE STRETCHED GUITARS AND I WOULD CRY FROM THE SHEER BEAUTY.

Originality: 10/10
Mixing Quality: 9/10
Overall Impression: 10/10

Godly greetings, BS.

No idea if/why you're feeling trepidation but not to worry.

You've become a fine reviewer. It helps when you say more. I'm not just looking to hear whether someone liked a track or not. Detail helps me understand what I've made from other people's perspectives.

I do get some pretty realistic drum parts and they come, in every track, from Superior Drummer, which also loads all EZ Drummer kits (most of which I have steadily collected in the last couple of years).

I also use lots of drum loops (though none here) but that's more for particular flavour and feel. Drum loops tend to still be combined with more intricate and realistic programmed Superior kits.

All guitar in my tracks I play myself though I'm a massive cheat as I do ##### of editing to get to the best bits. I'm a pretty lazy player and don't practise much so there are lots of mistakes and average bits in most recorded takes. Also unexpected moments of improvisational magic/luck.

1:30 lead is another recycled bit of lead, delayed slide playing.

" I feel like the beauty of the solo gets lost in the other sounds"

That would be because I've got a rhythm guitar part underneath. I tried not to make it clash with the lead but it's a heavily edited track so some things may be a little loose and messy.

2:25 synth seems to stand out to everyone so far. Good to know.

"syrupy feeling you achieved with the distorted guitar at 3:12."

Totally agree. Just plugin distortion that feels really warm. And the loud synth sub bass helps too.

"wide pads"

are timestretched resonator parts as there are no synth pads at all. You're in luck as you too can very soon make this sort of sound. Here's the free software I use (sadly, not a plugin):

http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/

Stretched guitars at the end also done using Paul. Lovely sound that works especially well on slide guitar parts. Slide is already kind of stretching the notes.

Good to hear you liked the little funky triplet chill guitar at 5:31. Playing is a bit off in places but I couldn't replay it cos I've forgotten how.

I would make 3 min tracks but that length feels too short for my mind expanding style. If it's good, deep and interesting, I want it to go on for longer.

Congrats on your new BS track rating system and thanks again for your interesting and accurate detail.

on Benghazi by Penga
Like Cru, I definitely like how you used those synths in a very unique way. You have a knack for this stuff, kid :) It is definitely happy, chill and a blend of genres. You executed this blend nicely and I appreciate that from a producer's mind. Don't stop, looking forward to your next piece :)

BRADO'S RATING (compared to all and every song similar to this that I've ever heard in my lifetime)
Originality: 9/10
Mixing: 6/10
Overall Impression: 8/10

^ This is just my view, take it with a grain of salt :P

Thanks Brado! :) I'm glad you and I could connect through a producer's POV.

Also, you've got a unique way of rating tracks. I'm liking it :D

Thanks again for the kind words !!

on My Groove by ChaseManhattan
There's something about that drum beat that I find absolutely addicting. I particularly liked your rhymes and the way you pronounced them, but there were spots that the music over-powered your vocal to the point that I couldn't hear what you were saying. It's definitely original, almost old-school in it's vibe. Your voice fits it perfectly.

Overall, I really enjoyed listening to this track enough that I had to log in and make a comment while listening to it again.

Originality: 9/10
Lyrical writing: 8/10
Mixing: 6/10
Overall Impression: 9/10

Great work, could use a bit more work on the mixing end.

on JAweGuy and Marnie G - Our Story by JAweGuy
EPIC. Thats all I have to say. My old friend EpicRecord would have agreed, considering he always loved orchestral stuff like this. Those strings in the first song are KILLER. I'd have to say my two favorites are the first two though haha. :P

I was about to get really weirded out cuz I heard my music which was all happy and airy blended with this and I was like "wtheck where'd he get my music from?!" but then I realized it was another tab. LOL. Anyways. It sounds great. No complaints on it, really. Great mix, punchy master. Great work. What did you use for the strings?

This is an awesome track! But at some parts the vocal gets a bit drowned out by the music, at least from what I'm hearing. But dang, that mix is fire regardless. So huge, so in-your-face.

I like how you used the soundscape and blended Soleil's voice together! It definitely makes the scene all the more ominous. Your music also accompanies it well and I don't mind the fat soundwave either haha. If you're submitting this for the contest, you have a good chance of taking 1st prize :) Great work!

on Sweet Apple Pie and I by cellardoor
Wow what kind of mic did you buy? It sounds great! For being new to the electronic genre, you're not bad
:D One of the biggest things with electronic music, however , is having a solid structured song. I noticed I some parts were out of sync and this is passable considering you're still learning but I would recommend looking into MIDI to help you. Practically every producer uses it or has used it at one point. So far, this track is decent. You can only go up from here! The vocal is amazing :D

Thanks ER! It's nice to have the feedback and encouragement. I bought a Blue Yeti, which cost me $019 on Amazon. It's a USB mic that was pretty plug and play friendly once I figured out how to get my DAW to recognize it.

Well, actually the melody on the background it's a loop from here that I downloaded past year "just in case"... but I can't find it now...
I only know that the loop is called "Mistress". If I could find it, I would put the link in description.
Anyway, thanks again for listen and coment! :)
