on Tharp by Planetjazzbass

Hi Planet, really like what you've got going in this track, the tranquilty of the birds at the start then blown away by the bass, some really haevy funky basslines in there but still easy on the ears.

Thanks for sharing.

on TLFC by d3adm8n

Another really cool track, that acidy synth is really cool and the automation sounds fantastic. Not sure how inkeeping the 'All your base' sample is but everything else is great.

Keep it up, looking forward to hearing more.

Hey, thanks for the reviews Helix. The "All your base" sample came from the fact that at first it started out as just messing about, as I was creating a song for a forum that I'm with called TLFC.

But as I got more into it, it got more serious. Even then I thought it would be fun just to leave it it.

on Emissary by d3adm8n

Very cool track, the Pleasure sample is a tiny bit too loud though, just makes it slightly uncomfortable to listen to. The rest of the song was good, the arp synth you've got going on is awesome. No real critisicm apart from that. Keep it up.

on Morning by spacestationwagon

I start my mornings by not getting out of bed.
A nice cup of coffee usually fixes that though.
I'd love to have this track playing as I wake up, it's nice and calm and would be great on a nice summers morning.

Great work.

spacestationwagon replied Unknown

we could always change the name for you to, "afternoon"!
thanks, neil

on DANCE IN THE RAIN by Predragg

I agree with Bluebottle, lots of cool stuff going out, but maybe more of a drop is required with a nice build up and some more melodies.

Keep it up.

on Revolution by DougieDJ

I'd love to try out Reason, not sure if I could leave FL now though, I've become very comfortable using it, but the sounds you've produced hear are very impressive.

Great track.

on Little Girl, Close Your Eyes by scratchrabbitt

Really like this track, the bell sound is great, and the drum beats are imense, I really enjoyed listening.

Thanks for sharing.

on Synergy Comp - Til Sunrise by Falter

Very cool track you've got here, quite chilled but up tempo and funky too.

Helix

on Dark Places by DaMann

Very high energy indeed, that choppy drum beat in the intro is awesome and the bass is great too. The beat that comes in after the drop is great. You've got a cool track here. I enjoyed listening.

on Enliven by Avail

That gated lead, is very cool, very retro but I could also see it in a modern trance song. I love when the pitch bending goes crazy and the little drop is brilliant.
I really enjoyed listening.

Helix

Avail replied Unknown

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed listening :)

on Rock-Made in Japan by Randall822

[Wow, just read your story about The Beatles, that's amazing.]

Review Start.
I love the intro, then the heavy guitar comes in, and the drums, the drums are amazing. Then the solos, I love that sliding guitar, You certainly can play well. Very well.
I loved listening.

Helix

Randall822 replied Unknown

Hi there Helix,

Hey...I certainly want to thank you for your nice review. Yeah...that Beatles image is still fresh as yesterday in my mind. If I ever get Dementia, I hope this will still stay as a lasting memory. Ha!

As for this tune, I liked the heavy guitar part a lot. It is hard to get that good crunch sound, a lot of EQing, and compression going on.

The solo parts weren't blazingly fast so that helped in getting a clearer sound.

Drums, Ahhh....I love good sounding drums. I use live recorded drums from (as opposed to synth generated drums) www.betamonkeymusic.com
I usually get them at 24 bit as they really sound good and then lose a little bit when 'bouncing to disk' to 16 bit.

Thanks again for for comments and am glad you enjoyed this tune.

It reminds me of old Celtic music, very beautiful, thanks for sharing.

on Whos Next(preview) by danamanaman

I never knew Garage Band could make tracks of this standard, I always thought of it as somewhat of a gimmick, looks like I was very wrong. This song is very cool, I'd love to hear the full version someday.

on Dreams Are Made by ToxicVoltage

Autotune is cool, I downloaded the demo version of one earlier this month and it just expired =[ but It was so fun, I don't sing enough to buy a copy yet. Anyhow, the track, nice beat and the pad was really cool. Would like to hear more like this soon.

Helix

ToxicVoltage replied Unknown

Awww im sorry the demo expired.

And thanks for the positive and helpful comment

on INST 2012 by WavebackHesDrowning

It's amazing what effects can do these days, but getting a kids kick drum to sound good is pretty impressive, that's an achievement in itself. As for the track, I like the range of sounds you've got going on, it's all very interesting.

Keep it up.

on another by neguS

I'm not a big hip-hop fan, but I know good songs when I hear them, and this one is cool. the only problem is the originality of the sonuds, try and experiment more with synths, tweak the presets and you'll come up with some cool sounds.

Keep it up.

on Hand Sewn - Only 24$ by Acrylic

This is the first time I'm listening to your tracks, and I don't know why, if all your tracks are up to this standard you've got great talent. I love the ambient elements in this track, and those long reeces are great. The Piano and SF/X Are also really cool.

Thanks for sharing.

Helix

Acrylic replied Unknown

Im a genre hopper so i don't specifically have one genre, but i dont upload bad songs so they should all be up to this standard.

on Hold the Line (Tester) by Salkizar

on symmetry by rei4real

Wow, 11 reviews in less than a day, none of my tracks have got that many. This track has a really great feel, very upbeat, and very chilled, I've been feeling quite ill lately, bad case of man-flu, but this track is raising my spirits. Thanks so much for sharing Rei.

on Big Up Ell Dub by Kazm

Speak of the devil, You've got a new track.
The volume on my speakers is spa*zing out so I can't get the most out of this track yet, but from what I can hear it's very good, I like the little Sound f/x and the the slow melody is great. A huge improvement from some of your older stuff, I really enjoyed listening.

Helix

Kazm replied Unknown

Hey dude, thanks. And sort your goddamn speakers out... dubstep can't be having speakers with bad soundage!

Love this one, a lot. That rhodes sent shivers down my spine and the drums are superb. Great track.

Dj4Real replied Unknown

on Ground Around by COL_GRINDER

I just uploaded a melody that will fit well over this track, keep checking back to my loops page to see if it's been validated.

ECKSjoe 23rd Jan 2009 20:42 - 16 years ago

on Ground Around by COL_GRINDER

Very well arranged, very upbeat and funky throughout, but did get a little bit repetative towards the end. Try throwing in a few more loops, maybe some melodies.

COL_GRINDER replied Unknown

Thank you. Yes I agree I usualy lay out all the tacks then start chopping it up during the edit phase.Then the mixdown. Do know of any good melody loops that may fit this

on The Story - R.P.F. by Falter

Final product sounds really cool.
Can't wait for the next one.
