on Rectifier by MCHN
:)

Yay!
Someone else who kinda thinks like me with metal!

I knew I had heard your track Voyager, which is freaking awesome.

This one is damn cool too!
I know how it goes with the old stuff... I really dug the singing like synth/piano/guitar/voice?!? Awesome. Oh it's guitar.

Hehe... Centrist kinda has a point.. But I love Doom Metal.. Stoner Metal...

I just like aggression and brute wattage and saw waves lol.

Definitely would love to see you do an updated version or the same kinda style... reiteration?

Great job on the drums btw... I think the hardest freaking part about DAWs is making drums sound half-way decent and you rocked it like you were sitting on the throne.

MCHN replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the review. Hah first time I get a compliment on some drums. It's something I really hate about drum machines and programming them. Never sound like a real drummer. Need to get some piano drumming skills lol. But yea the dirtier metal stuff is always my fave. Faster is better sometimes though I agree. I still sit on a ton of slow dirge metal stuff that will come out soon. Thanks for the review :D Cheers

on DFI - After Death - Extended Version by SGN
Beautiful...
I really like how you typically allow things to morph in and out of each other.
It's something I really strive for in my music. Not necessarily being stuck to the DAW's internal time clock, or the ebb and flow of pragmatic beat fractions.

Hey?
Checkity check yer e-mail?
I remixed yer Grasshopper song lol... And by remix, I mean messed it up and failed at my vision lol...

I really enjoy your work.
Thanks for being man.

Thanks for the listen and the thoughtful review. Really appreciate it and I think you get what I'm going for, so that's always good.

Alright, pardon my ignorance, but where the hell is my mailbox on this site? I really wanna hear what you've done to the Grasshopper, but I can't locate my inbox on this site (never looked for it before).

on DFI - Imperfect by SGN
Did ya play?

You have quite the ear for music.
I really really enjoy EVERY single one of your pieces of art.

Like what n0mad23 always mentions to me,... I can just get this vibe you are jacked into the spirit of the thing.
Whatever music is..
The muse.
...
I am thinking either it's loops or magix or something?
Fantastic arrangement.
:)
Chills.
If anyone can do that to me.
I am happy.

SGN replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks a lot alividlife. Unfortunately I cannot play. At all. This is all the work of a machine (fl 9), but it's pretty great to be able to inject humanity into it isn't it? (though I do love music that could be described as "cold" as well) I'm glad you enjoyed this.

on What I think (Second Version) by StephenPotter
I am probably the only human being in the world that hates sidechain. lol
I didn't likey the sidechainy... Dynamics that flow smoothly really get me.
But!!!

Despite that.... For your age, the emotional content and quality is kinda humbling.
You just PWNed the Key of B.
Fantastic work...
I really enjoyed this!
Nice to meet yer music!
:)
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I think the sidechain was over the top, this was before I learned to use the peak controller though so I actually manually sidechained, hence why it sounds too much. I have got better versions of this song but none of them are as long as this one.

But this is one of the more complicated emotional melodies I've done, which makes me feel very happy :D

But thanks for the review!

Ste :)

on End of Seasons by Cybertooth
Interesting sub toned dissonance at the intro... I found that to be fascinating and enjoyed it a lot..

I like yer style man.

I mean.. Art being that it's subjective, when I hear "un" harmonized, it makes me think "what's he trying to say?"
you know?

There's something tense. I get that.
Seasons changing.

Very interesting ... very strange. Very cool.

I hope you find the singer yer lookin' for...
Stylistically you are like a glitchy orange cranberry scone. And it pairs well with sonics and coffee.

(I don't even know what I am talking about lol but great track!)
Cybertooth
Cybertooth replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
ive got a backup plan if i dont get the singer. unfortuantely, the only time i didnt intend dissonance however was in the sub frequencies, got enough other interesting things, the bass was only to give it depth. The break is subject to slight change soon too. but i know exactly what you mean about "un" harmonized, when people hear new styles of music, they say it isnt music. this song isnt really any style despite its roots, its just an attempt to appeal to the art of music instead of the feel (which comes naturally along with the art). On seasons changing yes, it seems like an end, an end to an eternity that just swings by too fast. However, i like to compare my style of music more to abstract art, most of it i like is in black and white, why? because when you only have grayscale, you have to concentrate less on making it colorful and more on the form of it, the individual parts on their own look strange, but the whole is something amazing. colorful abstract art usually just looks like something someone made on drugs

on WAITING new DNB Preview by phantomhim
Yup!
:0

Super smooth with huge sense of orchestration! I can dig it.

Wanted the piano to switch it up a little?
But.. then again this is only 2 minutes lol.
I love DnB. Something about it.
Keep me posted on the full version in a reply or forum post man.

phantomhim replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
No worries, I'll stick it up in the forum when it's done. It will have a few switches in it by then. : )

on smile after the storm by JosephKoroma
It's beautiful man.

Well arranged, compression nice and smushy. Cool orchestra drums.
They would be the only thing I think that kinda sticks out a little tho?... It's not a bad thing, I just only pick at the stuff I notice while listening that pulls me out of that just relaxing/enjoyment feeling.

I love your choice in chords and melody. Totally fits the title.
Can picture just picture it.

It gave me chills.
Faving this.

on Loose Lips Sink Ships by joshthedjentleman
I love metal!

Bangin' to this!

\m/ \m/

Love yer harmonizing. Faving just cause.
I was trippin' cause yer name looks kinda like mine and then I have a song with the same name lolz.

I thought the middle synth was weird at first, but then it grew on me.
joshthedjentleman
joshthedjentleman replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
haha. thanks a lot my man, I actually recorded this a long time ago and my guitar tone is a lot better nowadays.....unfortunately because of synth most of my songs are over 7mb....I had been listening to Born of Osiris before I did that middle part and I thought the major switch might sound cool :p

on Not over my Ex (Featuring Zoiielou) by BlumeChoon
AWESOME Rob.. I know this is a bit older.. Reminds of the DnB I used to hear.. haha, just like everyone else here.
Fantastic stuff.
Hmnn... I would like to hear it faster tho!

You know.. if you ever get around to just messin' around and you come back to this one, I would totally love to hear this sped up to 180 after a rush! I mean.. that's only a quarter faster right?.. the vocals should fit the algorithm I suppose?
You could throw in hella Amen breaks lol
wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink
hahah
ok man
Good stuff!
Look forward to hearin' this one in my in-box!
BlumeChoon
BlumeChoon replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
You know that's funny. I just might get back into this one again...My buddy grizzly said the same thing about the tempo on this. Since it's been exported I can open it up in cubase as a wav and invert stretch it to tempo of about 180. Or just make some adjustments and change the tempo to 180 and redo the drums and add in the amens you're hinting at...lol...hmm...it's a possibility...But a little bit of work. I might just do that...Thanks for the review and for favin it...I appreciate that brutha :) Peace...

on Twilight by ParkerMusic
I second Obruno.
Very cool changes! Totally tensed up the mood, and you completely and utterly responded effortlessly!

As I am, I love to over-complicate and ruin music lol.. so this was very interesting to me as a listener because I wanted to go create something just hearing this!

Aches for vocals in my opinion. But as a standalone piece it's very chilling and relaxing.

I loved the hip-hop vibe it had as well.

hmnnn I can't stop thinking about variations on this!!!
:)

Fantastic job!

thanks bro, i love people who love my stuff as much as i do, im not conseided its just equivalant to making your own fantasy girl, not many can do it, so when you do, you tend to really enjoy them...
(i know horrible analogy right? no i have not made any fantasy woman, yet)

as for sound stuff, it keeps getting more crappy as i get more elaborate, so i may have to delve into higher technologys soon...

on reCycling - Incandescent Shivaism by n0mad23
[Draft2 Review]

It's been awesome to follow this piece from it's beginnings all the way to draft two.
Btw, when I replied on gmail, I was A/Bing the draft one to draft two heheh..
So I accidentally replied to the first one! hehe

anyhow, I mean as a piece it's amazing. I am just the type of creative individual that everything must be completely torn apart down to the sub-atomic level and rebuilt lol.

I do really like how you balance this line of Trancish Ethno vibe with the dub aesthetics.
OH, and I guess I really didn't listen close enough but I do hear a bit of that Kinda grain delay action I was talking about, but I did feel the need for a crescendo?
Nonetheless.
You rock!
Shiva the God of destruction and the recycled elements indeed.
Still felt like I wanted more of a crescendo near the end rhythmically (even more so than the outro), but that in no way is a complaint or criticism.

In reply to draft2b
I love it man.. Man there's that brewing. Things broken down to the sub-atomic level and brought together.

LOVE IT.

Man.. I think I do agree with you about the trappings of the all-mighty "Edit" and "Arrangement".
I find it funny.. because I am actually missing a reel to reel occasionally, because it was either hit or miss.
So in you confiding me about the way you process this ... It makes me think about the good old days.

Man you can hear Shiva actually crying.
Thats effing nuts.

n0mad23 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Huge thanks to you for all the fantastic critiques and advice on this one! In "rehearsing" it I think I got too close to the trees again to see the forest so you're advice really kicked me down the path I needed to follow. I hear a thimble full of Shiva's tears are a powerful psychedelic so feel free to sample a sip - lol. I'm thinking it's time to seriously (sincerely?) discuss a collab again. Thanks my little brother.

on Stealing Vodka by Reverse1984
Bah... I wrote a long review and then tried to download it and it redirected me!
GRRR.

Anyway. You are a musician man. I dig that.
I love your Rock aesthetics and your openness to electronica.

It's totally forward thinking, and the whole rhythm section is AMAZING.

I was clicking fave like a machine gun! lol
Downloaded too.

I love it. The breakdown was awesome, and I love how you tapered this off.
Amazing.

EDIT.
Listening again at home... Curious about the title.
And I also really like Spivkurls suggestion.
Some vocals would be awesome.
I would love to see you in a band!!!!
Reverse1984
Reverse1984 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Glad to hear you liked this track. I was actually a little unsure about this one after it was finished...I enjoyed it, I just didn't think other people would really dig it. The title is pretty random, I just slapped that on there. However, back in the day there were a couple of times when I stole vodka, mainly at parties. Thanks for listening, your thoughts, views, opinions are always appreciated on this end!

ps vocals would be awesome, I don't have any that work well with this piece. You wanna give them a shot?

Did you compress the vocals?... I can't really tell.. gonna download.
well..
I do not want to discourage you, or make you feel bad, but there's some things I would recommend. I will be contacting you.

I do want to just say that this is ... just a heartfelt and beautiful piece of music.
Your friend has an amazing voice and presence and the lyrics were touching.

on Creeper by clinthammerMUSIC
Wow 8bit awesomeness.
Glitchness...
Wow.. you are the freaking man.
Dubsteppin to this in my chair lol
Dude. I would pay to see you spin. Fer real.

Umn...
DUDE... I was actually meaning to ask you, you know.. integrating the dubstep wobble, but then throwing some glitch like effects on there.
AND low-and-behold.. you are doing kinda what I was thinkin.

Something that I would think would be awesome.. on the end of a couple bars, maybe throwing a gate on 1/8 note, so you would get a really cool stutter effect. I was messing with dblue's glitch the free vst (easily over-used, but I was just using the gate function and then automating the speed filter along with some time parameters and it was just stutter heaven.)

And on your build maybe..

DAMNIT you just did it lol.
But yeah.. I was thinking some stutter on the wobble on some end bar action might be kinda cool.
hahahha
....
If you had an album, I would buy it.
But you gotta promise to put reeeeaaallly cool art in it.

Thanks a lot Livid! Man, you know how to give a review! I am glad you like my style of dubstep. I thought I was kind of going out on a limb on this one, but I ended really liking the finished product. I have never used dblue before. I have to give that one a try. anyways, thanks for stopping by again!
