Wow!! Thankyou so much man!!! Glad it gave u chills at the break....I always hope my breaks do that!!! BTW what did u mean about the DAW??? I forgot what that is..LOL!!!! Thanks again!
This is exceptional stuff!
all live!? If not then I am IMPRESSED EVEN MORE!
looping or live..
Either means you have the best loops ever, or you have an EXCELLENT STUDIO.
lol.. I AM SUPER IMPRESSED!
The playing is interresting, the drums are tight, the bass is sooo nice. Great groove, awesome piano..
you are paying my medical bill lol...
Dude you are soo awesome..
I broke my neck headbanging to this lol...
You should soooooo collab with that new bosnian dude....
I LOVE THE HARMONICS... did you sample?!?!?
It's like dope... You make me ashamed of even picking up a guitar...
seriously....
Can I remaster??
I know I am working on that track.. But this would be a fucking blast.
I would look at levels... as soundvisionz taught me
Too muddy?
Try cutting between 100 to 300Hz
(you don't need too cut the frequencies at all tho in in this song...)
"BOXINESS" IS IN BETWEEN 300 1k (or 1000 Hz) .. which is where A LOT of guitar is....
Too nasal sounding?
Try cutting between 250 to 1000 Hz.
Too harsh sounding?
This can be caused by frequencies in the range of 1000 to 3000 Hz. Try cutting this range a few dB.
(again.... you really DON'T have a problem at all in those freqs in this song...) (which is weird because a lot of metal has a lot of problems in those freq's)
I love it...
DUDE... You ROOOOOOCK..
Like.. A lot. You would fucking own a lot of guitarists I know.
Soo You are learning the production side ehh?
WELL i would recommend looking at how you exported this on the mixer... of FL you say right? I have used it once or twice... Seroksaty can show you some coooool stuff...
I do recommend opening up your FAVORITE songs... and then watch them on a DAW like cool edit or audacity and then look at each part... Look at the wave... ALSO, take yours and load it... But MUTE IT... Look again.. Listen.. Try and figure it out.
It helps.
DUDE.
YOU ROCK!
FAVED.
I hate you cause you play a lot better than me... lol just kidding.... kinda.
as I have been hearing a lotta happy stuff from you and many others lately...
(it's all about musical balance hehe)
CHILLS... I just got Chills... CHilllls.. She is singing.. And It's her soul... Just there, I can see it...
CHILLS...
Can I remaster this??
I will send it back?
I want to mix a Kenjamin track, but I think I could do something with this?
(I really enjoy mastering more than making music lol....)
I will tell you step by step what i do, as I like to keep notes often
I love this. I like a lot of what I hear from you!, but this is something else.
I really like emotion.
Not just a good feel.
And you always do that. But on this, you REALLY really did that.
Hi Abe, well that's a kind offer! By all means, do your thing. Thank you for the kind review. Fiona is a very talented vocalist, and she will be pleased that you enjoyed her voice...
I knew the first time I had heard any of your tracks they were just AWESOME.
Really cool sitar sample and the congos should be louder!!!!
Actually all the ethnic stuff louder..
The synths are PERFECT!!
but the congos and drums just a SMIDGE??
Awesome!
Love it!
Can you find a ethnic vocal line somewhere????
I am sure there is one somewhere?
I know Ishmael in the Desert will sample youtube and radio waves and stuff... And then get really great samples for like vocals or whatever..
Love it
MASTERFUL production.
(just louder heheheh)
Thanks for the great review! I am finding that more and more people are saying turn this up, turn that down when it comes to some of my stuff. My only defense for this is, that when I mix, I am using headphones, I don't have any speakers, which I need to get. I know EVERYTHING would be a lot more leveled out, if I was mixing with speakers. I can only work with what I have for the time being. Thank you for the constructive criticism though, it's much appreciated.
You do have major skills... You are like evil tho...
Lol... Funny how you can take a lovely voice like holy's and turn it into a scaaaary creepy moment.
I do see this on silent hill, how is the new one anyways??
I did download and took a look at the waveform, and you do have it really good level wise.. It got the highest at 55 second mark, so if you dynamicly compressed this softly you might get a fuller sound ... but then again.. It being rounded cleanly at -6 db's is really a good thing, because it's not too loud for grandpapas and won't make the kids go deaf... lol.. unlike that one song we collabed on lol...
thanks man, the moment i heard her voice i was in love with it. i cant wait to do more work with it.
homecoming is really good, the soundtrack is just awesome, the storyline is a bit played but it fits the pattern. speaking of which, mary elizabeth mcglynn sounds alot like holly, check her stuff out and tell me what you think.
oh and shoot, these waveforms, nuts, if you havent done aphex twin, do it, i think they do a hidden image in all their songs, windowlicker for sure.
i cant wait to get some new equipment so i can make some sweet new tracks and finish are collab, mid december man, hopefully. ive been rehabbing my addiction of makin tracks with garage band, it doesnt feel as good, but it calms me. thanks again, adios
Yah.. I can tell you right now without a doubt that the condenser is WAYYYY better than a 30 dollar mic..
Did you master this?? It sounds really good... Like professional... think the dynamic compression on the vocs could be changed a little?? Not a big deal...
Because this is awesome...
Are you signed? Do you do shows??
You can remaster it all you want, I have it on the verge of not clipping in Reason 4, the LFO phasing sounds great but it brings it to clip like every other measure.
My long hair is flooowing and I am clinking beers with Bubba...
We went out to the bowling alley and met up some friends.
I met this pretty thing and jumped in...
it was a good time, everything was fine.
you know this pretty bombshell is the gonna be the end of me, but in the bed of the truck bed the beat is just bouncing all night long.
The claps and the progression rocked!
All you need is an organ solo and a gospel choir!
you rock dude.
HONESTLY, FLAWS make the track, it is like when kurt cobain started crying on in utero, or how led zeppelin fucked up during IV.... but I am a indie/metal head. Just my opinion.
I also like progression changes... which I about to every techno producer...
Don't get me wrong.. The track is great! Hella good.
But I like to think about keys going Major... and Then Minor to add a feeling of identification to the track.. errrr. shit
you just did it...
Ya ... hmmmmm
It's like you have 4 songs here... you could dj this easily...
A mashup i suppose?
My favorite was the 3/4'ers of the end ... I love the tension.
The big easy.. Really cool...
You did the drums then?? Fricking awesome drums!!!
Bass was awesome..
Dynamic Compression was a bit much for me... But it doesn't stain the track..
AT 1:55ish the compression begins to help your track, but before that, less compression... But I know how you feel.. I cannot master a f*cking distorted guitar for the life of me.
and I am a metal head.
cheers avidlife, actually the only thing i did was put this together, the drums are from Addictive Drums and the Bass and Rhythm Guitar parts are from Raw 2, I`m hoping to one day do the vocals for this track. I`m doing a course from MusicianUniversity.com right now on mixing and mastering so hopefully i`ll be able to add life to this track in a few months,thanks again for listening and favouriting it.
Not bad at all!! My first track was terrible... TERRIBLE..
this is great!
Just ask me any questions, I would be more than happy to help you out.
You are clipping just a lil' bit.. JUST a lil.. not much.
Not even a really big deal, because honestly, this had GREAT levels.
The synth in the background..
Why soo subdued? the strings/pad? dude... YOu soo read music.
You have song setup nailed, but changing up the key along with both the arp and stuff would take this to the next level.
SUPER star. lmao.. I am a nerd.
I think the synth and then taking whatever the baseline is and going 7 notes down on the 1st down beat.... something like that... It will cause some tension and change the track...
BUT despite my criticism, You know I am a fan, your music is soo straight up and well produced. I love the soft/punchy arp and then the hard synth.
AWESOME.
You could soo produce video game music. Totally.
I know this is an old one.. There was another older one that I wanted to check out.. but i cannot remember the name of it...
I totally agree with six, this could blast into something EPIC..
Hi alividlife
Thanks for the review bud, I have to say these EMU PS12 Subwoofers kick ass man what a sound they push out highly highly recommended.
Regards
Krook
the bass sounds real... is that you?
Really cool..
You plan on selling this I suppose? It's good, because you leave a lot of it pretty dry, which is perfect for a DJ or producer...
yeah i plan on selling all my stuff man, i try and leave a bit of freedom for the 'customer' so its not just going in one direction. but thnx 4 ur comment man
I love the synths... Dang!
Really cool throbbing bass section, and it sounds really well mastered.
The freq's of the cymbals, kind a bugged me, but it is not a big deal AT ALL...
Great piano and guitar work too..
All together this is an incredible song!
Thanks for the D'l... this will sound nice when I go to sleep tonight.
on Oakland by TempleofShakti
Gah!
I used to live in SF..
Dope 808 and 909 beats! this is great!
I love the depth of the mix, you can kinda hear all the way into the back of the snare! Really good mixing!
Missing melody maybe?
Still who cares,
I am doing the robot right now....
