on Tonight by DanGuidance
Hey dan?
I like this one the most...

this one really really speaks to me...

I wanna say something to you?
and I just want you to know that it ..is just my opinion!

I really agree with DJSwing.
Yet.. There is harsh contrasts.. which in some way is fine.. I like that!
But you know.. I am really into dynamics.. like things having depth, and I mean that shallowly. This track HAS DEPTH. But the synchronization of the loops and samples kinda just harshly stand out?...

Things I have done personally .. and this is just my opinion, just my thing, but I use track automation to set up compressions and volume fades, panning and all types of stuff.

Typically I will get my song in order in around 2 hours, and then I spend 2 weeks just getting it right.
then I spend 2 weeks mastering..

I don't think highly of my tracks tho..

So...
I just want you to know
that some compression coming on and off, some depth with reverbs and delay but used lightly, and smoother transitioning via panning or volume where my biggest opinions.

I still loved the track,
and your videos are AMAZING.

Faved this one...
What program you use?

Hey Abe..cool..I just love the way children can be so totally spontaneous and emotive given half the chance...Such a change when I was a kid where children were to be seen and not heard...I think kids,every kid should have the opportunity to become involved musically from a young age...couldn't hurt. thanks mate cheers Dave :)

on Soul (within) ft holly instru by Rtdabombnetwork
Yeah
that guitar is just thumpin' and grindin' along with the beats.

Dang nice rolls!
wow!

This is really good stuff!

There's this ... kinda spinning and funneling thing about it..
Outro was just chilling. Made my skin crawl.
AWESOME

on S.F.S.F. by JackRipper
yeah definitely repetitive but it lends itself to the "trance" thing that house music unabashedly and stubbornly clings too.
lol
I really enjoy things that in a contextual way juxtapose each other. The break near the end was gold.

I still like your style tho... i mean.. i like house
but any guy with a DAW throws some on the floor bass kicks and compression and they assume they "get it".
But maybe it's me--? I don't "get it?"
meh

But please don't think I am talking down about house--- I couldn't write a house song to save my life.

I mean--- I really hate to speak down on music-- and i really mean these comments out of love.

This is like the original mountain dew-- better than all the crappy flavors they have been producing lately lol

Great stuff -- your style is just "THERE" man. You can't fake that...
"Lee Majors loves Phanny Packs"
lmao awesome title.
and I need to e-mail you

I am just kinda chillin' at the moment tho

on Captin Curtis by Boson Havoc by bosonHavoc
wow

that is something else...

MORE in my face...!!!

I think what damann was saying is more DISTORTION!!!!

MORE UNCLARITY!!

BRING THIS DOWN LIKE A MADMAN OUT OF HELL!
lol

or you know--- just bring the drums up in the mix

all of em.
I would think of the drums on this track as the lead instrument- and compress and fack with it as soo..
just my opinion.

I love this stuff

soo epically simple and perfect.
I love this track

on 4 U by kirkow
i love how the eyes on your avatar are dotted
lol

creepy

anyway
the track is amazing..
add some compression? see how it feels on the rhythm?
just my opinion!

incredible arrangement.. it felt like a punk rock show to me.

kirkow replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

don't ever try and censor yourself...
for anything or any internet file sharing site!
lol

wow.. I really dig this donnie!
drums are great!
I can picture on the ups on the one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four

weeeeeee

very cool

I am down for a collab-- but give me time??
DonnieVyros
DonnieVyros replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Haha, naw mate, I rarely do that (on here I do because of status and all that). As an ex-GF said, I'm "Filter free".
As for the song, it came about with me wanting to do something else and when it started coming together I ditched the other plans and stuff with this new baby. It was fun to make and I look forward to hearin what ya come up with (whenever ya do stuff for it). Later on!

on Lasting Chaos by bosonHavoc
I think the problem is the moment of time in which we know what we want-- and we take it..
some people really disrespect the joy of movement..
I got cocked blocked really bad last night--- and this song definitely resonates with that emotion...

Very very very very very very good track indeed.

on I Can Manage by Spivkurl
Stop shaking the rabbit! lol

I thought about one of those things you shake and it makes noise...

Beatnik...
My favorite part of the beatnik generation was "on the road"
I think about that book all the time..
especially "into the wild" which was a modern day mythology.

This is kinda like mythology in it's self... it's like ....
...
I don't know...
lol
I love this
But I did hear a more realistic drum and sugar smoked vocals in my head..

Just my opinion..

I have an inert feeling that you and I are on complete opposites of the soundwave...
which I appreciate and love all the more..
Pleeeeease keep it up!
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I love all manner of sound making toys, I guess that shows through in my tunes.

I too like "On The Road", kerouac wrote heaps of cool stuff. Do you think this song sounds "beat"?

I can see what you mean about opposites of the soundwave... maybe we're working together to fill a void... or maybe I'm just tired...

Thanks for the great review!

on All I Neeed by ReignMD
Wow, jholmes with the epic review!!
lol

One thing I noticed was how the spectrum of the sounds seem a bit deep? like.. not in a great way.
Drums are fantastic, right were they should be, definitely.
but the synth pad and the guitar feel almost hollow?
were they in stereo?
I think they would be better placed in mono functions, two tracks, with some panning techniques used?
Hmn... I don't know what it is, but the track doesnt feel "stereo-forward to me"?
That is more of a critique than criticism btw, I really dig the track.
Good stuff!
Definitely add on an ending of some sort.

I hope you choose to progress this!
ReignMD
ReignMD replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I don't remember what exactly I did when I mixed down this track the first time, but I do agree that the synth and guitar feel a little hollow. I will definetly continue to work on this track and keep what u said in mind. thanks 4 taking the time 2 review it.

along with abletons spectrum analyzers, you might be able to cut closer to the sound you seek?

Understanding these...

I hope that helps some?

Sounds really cool still!

I would still really enjoy a melodic interval in here, which I know is a bit against your background.
You really do have something special Sean.
Keep It UP!

I will be in contact soon!

Can you hear my palm slapping my forehead? It was one of the first tools I played with and thought how useful it could be, then completely forgot about it as I explored other things. I'm on my way to check out the links you've provided. The melodic interval...show me? I think I need to rub the Buddha belly to grok it. Love you little Brother Abe!
