on Harder Than You Think (36 Chambers Remix) by 36Chambers
I love the mix!

On the mix you hear how it is kinda shaky sounding?

you should see what stretches the algorithm of your loops. See that is what is the cause of vibration sounds to happen in between your loops.

I don't use Acid, but since you use that.. you might want to do a search and see what the loop is judge on, if it is the beat structure, if it is the pitch, if it is the complex wave?

I don't know! Ableton does that for me. and I feel like a spoiled bitch... but i digress..
Complex wave pattern algorithms suck the life out of your CPU. Soo see what you can do.
(I hope you aren't mad, i am just saying... I know bilbozo uses acid, and he doesn't have that sampled sound, you might ask him?)

Back to the track. Despite that... this is fucking awesome.

Groovy.. Great mix of reggae and hard rock.
You like the roots and ratm? heheh anyways.. gettin' off track.

Dude what is what? are you playing? If so... we are so collabing..

I love the bass at the end.

If it was loops..
We are soo collabing.

Either way.
We are soo collabing...

This was sick.
I would have added some reggaeton styley reverb on flava flave. totally.

(Flava flave for president)
Faved.

on Smoothin With G Dub by 36Chambers
AWESOME!
And shaking my head off about g dubbya.. god bless his simple dumfuk heart.

ok.. my review style is this.
say hello!
some things i love about the track.
some criticism (which i just state as opinion, always with respect)
and if the song is great, and I don't know how to respond, i tell jokes, and write stories. heheh..

ok
..
listen number three, getting a good feel for this one.

I agree with the bottom two reviews. Definitely light-hearted and fun, with wise words.

I would say this might be a bit quiet. and I completely understand why you don't allow downloads and respect that.
let me check.
hmm... with my soundcard peaked, this was peaking at -6db. Which means you have about -3db headroom to play with.
that you could compress and or limit, or normalize, or hard limit (my fave, as most my stuff is ear achingly loud)
basically all mean, make louder in the mix.
then, you can remove certain EQ's to make the mix more polished, just like the CD's or radio's.

(IN FACT, i might just e-mail you, and let you know most of what i know, and if you have questions, we can both figure some shit out.)

soo... louder please.. and a master?

ummm, i think that leads me to my next opinion, and that is the contrast of the funk (which is GREAT!) and then the hard rock (WHICH is ALSO GREAT!)...
in my opinion, they do contrast, and I KNOW HOW HARD it can be to nail that soft hard aesthetic.
I would like to encourage you to get subscribed to Tape-op...

(as stated... will e-mail)

Great song!
hey, I am new too! I have only been doing this for about 8 months. I am getting better!

LOVE IT!

on Digital Signs by Avail
Hell yah!

...

I feel bad dude... All I want to say is Great track.

Tho, yes maybe it is missing something atmospheric. It could really add to this, and maybe take it too the next level.

Love it!
Avail
Avail replied Unknown
LOL Abe
I'm really looking forward to it too but don't feel bad :P
Well yea everybody's telling me about atmosphere but i wanna keep it minimal. You know what? I uploaded that trance demo i sent by mistake instead of that piece.LMAO

PS. Really cool pic you got ^^
PS1. Heard the cheap ass loops i sent over?

on Distortion by lankybastardbear
Would this be electronic music?
heheheh...

Cool track, awesome loops I guess? or did you add a telephone filter to that lead?
or was that EQ?

Coool COol.

on TranceTronic by lankybastardbear
It makes me feel like ... my tounge iches..
That off synth!?
it's like a 6th interval or something.
maybe a 2nd?
Did the loops have names for what key they were in?
I would be interested to know..

very cool! There is a kind fun tension about this.
This works for me!
Good outro too..

Good thing you are back!

on Ants against Witches by Littbarski
Ants, they have 10 times their body strength.

Witches have rotten paginaz and black cats.

This song is just fucking awesome tho..

Damn.. I think I have heard this in a dream, because I am getting sick deja vu, a download, and a new fav.

on Pantaenus Glee by Psyrok
Nice work keeping that bass just from farting out!
That was NICE!

Good drums....

Cool randomized panning lead.

Allelujah!

Nice drop at the 4 minute mark.

on Testing by DaMann
You must have incredible monitors or something dude...
This was also normalized to -9... I might do some research and try and find some free stuff for you...
ALSO, I will send you portions of Soundvizionz mastering guide.

Dude, these two new songs are your best work.
Mary is still freaking cool tho.

I am really enjoying these new angles on music.
Who cares if you did or didn't invent a new style.
Your music should be your voice, not the classifications of others.

DAMANN STYLE!

I like this A LOT.

on Alien Contact by DaMann
Hot Damn! This is the best song from you I have heard yet!!

Very cool, trance-y, but also very intelligent with the sounds coming and going.

The melodies never got old to me.. Every pass seemed to offer something new to the whole cadence. Very Interesting and VERY cool!

Hey, Just soo you know, this was normalized to approximately -9db... that means you have like 12 db just taking up headroom or it is just silence... so.. you have like about 6 db till you even have to worry about clipping..

So, despite that, I am still LOVING THIS. Faving.

But, you might consider getting just a limiter or a condensor... there are free ones I am sure.

Heh, just because I like loud noises, my crazy head would normalize this to -1 db.. but that is just me.

LOVE IT.

on drops by rei4real
heh.. I was in olympia washington chillin' with a bunch of Dj's and some musicians at this beat box comp. and one of the things I did was show some of the dj's some of the looperman crowd.

for some reason rei4real was the big hit.
big surprise.

this song is a testament to that.

on Modern Obstacles by DJ_JEZZA
...
lol..

seriously.

You really let that beat just lay there.. A sense of space.

it's gonna happen... i would think that moment that the silence hits... start to ad FADES into the mix... just the high end stuff that sounds like shades being drawn...

this is all 1:50 secounds.. something from about 4 points needs to be reached?.. u know?...

WOW.. just my opinion...

Just my opinion..

WOW..

THAT was amazing.

Amazing mix Dj Jezza, seriously!!!

on Sidechained Zombie? lol by Avail
Lol...

I just don't get it...

I guess I need that hands on experience.

Hey heres a crazy thought!?!?

send a couple unmastered demos to this site or go and ask a studio to master your stuff? or say screw it and do it yourself?
www.anjunabeats.com

heheheheh.. no thankyou friend.
You have given me something great, and that is the joy of house and trance music...
In the past I always looked at techno like it wasn't "this" or techno wasn't "that"

now i respect it.
thank you.

Great track.

Avail
Avail replied Unknown
Well you can't always notice the sidechain..In this situation most of the "sidechainers" are on mute so you only hear the victims.haha

And about anjunabeats i'm not ready yet and this is not the genre they specialize in...

Good that i made one more person listen trance/house ^^

About the names i rly liked the "Horizontal Reign"

And yo, thx for your long-ass review lol

Well the outro might be fitting for a good mix but it's not like anybody will mix so just let's forget it lol

Later!

on Believe (feat Lil Sister Jen) by Psyrok
is to start a label.. I really hope that is not true.

This is incredibly good.
Tell Lil Sister Jen thanks for the chills for me.

This song almost feels too sacred for me to offer any criticism, which I always try to do in every review...

I guess all I can say is, thanks for creating such a great song!
Psyrok
Psyrok replied Unknown
Hey, thanks so much for the kind words.

Oh, and in order to lose money you have to have some to begin with, so I'm ok :)

on Midas Touch by Sireone
Awesome sirens and great synth panning tying this up nice.

whatchya gonna do with the midas touch???

ain't that a tire company??

LYRICALLY Faving this.

That's you rapping right?
Great lyrics...
(a little cheesy, but you actually made the whole idea work for me -- MADE me pay attention in a lighthearted way.)

Ok.. the mix.. (THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, AND I AM A METAL HEAD.)
Watch the bass, it can suck your mids...
so.. it's best to have a clean mix, that floats around the -6 to -3 db range.. and yeah i mean peak... that way, if you choose to master it, you give the person mastering the ability to play with the mix.

When you vocals, you really have to worry about the midrange... soo I would encourage you, when you do the vocal mix, you have a more or less flatter EQ....
soo keep in mind that you have the midrange and lower highrange to worry about with a vocalist.

"Bass is rumble
Mid is boxy
Highs are harsh"
--soundvisionz said it.

love it, post it in the forums when it's done, i hope to hear the end product.

on Euphoric Govinda by Salkizar
great synths at the breakdown..

Really cool..

this just got me there...

I dig the trance, but that serious musicianship was palpable. I could just feel this emotion coming out in the synths that was undeniable.. growing and becoming this great flow of euphoria.

Very cool.
I am really gaining a lot more respect for house and trance hearing great stuff like this
thanks for the dl. going on the ipod!!!

on A Dark and Stormy Night by ShogunGhostwriter
I could see the choppiness working with a great vocal line, talking about some dark and stormy night...

More drums there in the mix....
I almost thought a lite rain sample too would tie the entire piece into a cool groove... so the choppiness is also reflected on the storm..
ooohhh and some thunder sounds?
yah?

great track!
