on The other side of blue; Jump the Q by SLAPJOHNSON
Hey, this is a cool jazz track! I've never been the biggest fan of jazz with vocals, but I can appreciate the performances and songwriting in this one. Did not expect the female vocals to come in, but it was a pleasant surprise. Still a looperman legend you are! Hope all is well!

on Damen med hunden ft Jens Comen by Kikajon
Oh yeah, this is groovy! I was happy to see one of your tracks show up on the thread I started! We share initials as well as a love for music. Very pleasing sound to this song, and the sax is a really nice addition to this sort of style. Can't believe I never heard this one. Hope some time you can return to the loop to hang out with us! Fave!

on Hunting For Gatherers Feat Fya Philly by Philemonster1
Hey, I'm liking this one very much! I think it sounds like a cross between dancehall and fusion rock, which can't be a bad thing. Since it seems like I misinterpreted the title, I won't take it personally. (I'm sort of the essential gatherer) Evisma's instrumental is excellent, he always has a great ear for music. I'm thinking you recorded your vocals over an mp3 of his track, and that is probably my least favorite aspect of this song. I can't help but hear the degradation when this is done. Not an insult to your skill at all though, just a general frustration with people using mp3s for anything more than easy distribution of their work. I found it to be a really enjoyable track! Fave!

on Shes In Space by mojocosmosis
I can't believe this never got a comment! It's really very cool! Love the trippy feel to the music and lyrics. The thin guitar lead just sounds awesome, did you cut a slit in your speaker to get that sound? ha ha! Quite a cool vocal production. This has a nice live vibe, and a bit of analog recording flavor. I'm happy I found this one, just what I needed to hear this morning! Fave!

on TWDNHTMTTDIM by alividlife
Hey, it was a pleasant surprise seeing one of your tracks show up on the thread I just started! This one is really quite good! I think the drums and melodies sync up very seamlessly. It seems like you achieved your goal in this one. I'm not a big fan of anime or anything, but this stands well on it's own. You spoke about layering to achieve a solid low end. Lately I've been finding that the more layered I do it, the more muddy the low end becomes. I always like a simple centered mono bass, with a good stereo field for the mids and highs... especially in a song without vocals. Either way, it sounds cool! Good to hear one of your tracks!

on Waltzing Matilda - Deep House mix by KBone147
Hey this is really unique and intriguing! The vocals sound great, and you've created an awesome setting for the story! Great electro bass work in there, which really gets me going. Deep old school with a modern twist. Trumpets sound very good. Well boosted mix, without pushing the gain too hard. I dig it! Fave!

on DJ The Observer--LiKe ThiS -- by djtheobserver01
Oh Yeah, I do "LiKe ThiS" that's for sure! Deep and disturbing, while at the same time funny. You're still one of the top ##### people around here. Great sample work! Totally trippy stuff! It seems to vary between a sea shanty and electronic death... very cool. I would like to see you do this stuff live if you're ever doing a show in Minnesota... ha ha I doubt it greatly! Killer track! Fave!

Man this is rockin! Makes me feel like I'm in the nineties and I'm about to go front and center for the mosh pit. Great vocal style here! This is the perfect length for a punk song too. Jammin guitar solo there too, nicely done! Great work! Fave!

on Air swels by Scyphozoa
I don't regularly listen to ambient tracks any more, but I'm so happy that I did this time! When I saw that a Danke loop was used, as well as a csoul pella, then my curiosity was engaged. This is very much my sort of ambient, which brought me back to my obsessive listening to older Brian Eno works. Most specifically the album "Nerve Net", which is one of my favourites. I enjoyed the synth arpeggiations and the degraded robo-poetry! Great music to sit back and zone out to. The balance and gain of the mix sounded very nice to my ears as well. It's loud enough to enjoy, but not smashed or clipping. Good flow, and pleasing track to listen to! Thank you for sharing! Fave!

hi
I listened to Brian Eno I like some songs, but not all instance "Ali Click" like the guitar in this songI am happy to learn this know it's a bit one of my style of music thanks for the tip

And yes I also love to use the sampels of this site, which is nice also for the creator, I think
What i try is combine trance, ambient and a rock beat in this song

thx for Listening and comment

on Discotechnique by crucethus
Hey, quite groovy man! My kind of disco vibe for sure! I hear a bit of "sandanista" floating through this one as well, but definitely more developed than much of the electronic sort of stuff on that album. That distorted guitar/organ sounding bit is really sweet! Good to hear a tape feel in the mix, and not one of those VST tapes... ha ha. You were totally jammin with yourself on this! Great track! Fave!
crucethus
crucethus replied 11th Mar 2015 - 11 years ago
The Clash comparisons are cool, as when I made this I had no thoughts or ideas that I wanted to sound like them, but for me this is a natural progression of post disco and with Punk and with it's DIY nature it just naturally evolves.(convergent evolution). No organs were harmed in the making of this song, but various guitar effects were used over Yamaha midi instruments. And ironically no tape was used, but recorded onto a Special type of 4 track Sony Minidisk. It was a truly controlled Jam. The song is very structured and the solos were designed to fit in the melody. This was not an improv but had some thought to it.
Always a pleasure

on Poppe and Viperactive - SWAT by Poppe
Pretty cool stuff here! Reminds me a lot of more modern electro, but definitely has the trap vibe as well. Cool arrangement. Good sounding sub bass also. Not my regular listening preference of course, but I do like to take in some trap on occasion. Well done!

on Go Nuts by Vodnik
Hey there. I guess I like some of the sounds in here, though the drums are a bit "standard" sounding. The movie sample is a nice touch! It seems like the bass is all over the place note wise, not really in any recognizable key. To many semitones next to each other if you know what I mean. Unless of course you were experimenting towards atonal or borderline microtonal (though they are obviously semitones). Fun to hear all the same!
Vodnik
Vodnik replied 10th Mar 2015 - 11 years ago
Being its riddim, its how the drums normally sound for it. i was mainly experimenting with different synths on this one, but thanks spiv! i was trying to deviate from the average Monotonous riddim dubstep tracks everyone seems to be making.

on Dark Depth by subSpace
You are correct sir, this is what you are known for! I will admit to not listening to DnB as much as I used to, but then again there aren't as many people making cool tracks like this around here. Cold and dark are words that come to mind when listening to this. The flowing basses coming in and out of focus, they sound very cool! I actually have been wondering if my sub was suffering a bit, and it's good to have something like this to test it. Might still have some life in it, though it's definitely not as vibratory as it used to be. I can imagine this song with hard distorted guitar in place of the lead bass here, and being a heavy metal sort of tune, so that's cool. The outro reminds me of some psy trance or something, good way to end it. Fun to hear!

on Successfully Black by ThaTruth1
I don't listen to hip hop all the time or anything, though I do enjoy certain songs or albums on occasion. I think this is sounding pretty good. Vocals are clear, so that helps a lot. The cymbals to me are a bit heavy on the ultra high frequencies, but that's only my ears... I've said that on other people's tracks before and they turn around and listen to one of mine and say basically the same thing to me. I'm guessing there is a certain frequency range that my ears are sensitive to that others' are not. Really other than that I don't have any criticism for you. Pretty enjoyable track!
ThaTruth1
ThaTruth1 replied 7th Mar 2015 - 11 years ago
Hey Spivkurl,

Thanks for your review. I appreciate it. Yeah about the cymbals, don't worry, your ears are not fooling you. I figured the cymbals are pretty high too. Maybe that's due to the fact that I used a pre-mixed instrumental... So that's like the best the engg. could get out of the cymbals. I suppose you are a mixing engg yourself, so this review is much appreciated. If you have more input, you can send me a message :) I could always use an engg or two. Peace

Ps: I'll check some of your work.

on Courage - feat RoseErin by DrvanLansberg
I enjoyed listening to this one! I don't really have much for suggestions, as it felt right the first time through. Definitely has an 80's influenced feel to it, maybe late 80's. Rose Erin is cool and talented, and it's good that you saved this pella for use. Had fun listening, but didn't get to pay close enough attention. Maybe I'll download for later enjoyment (thank you for that by the way). Nicely done!

DrvanLansberg replied 28th May 2015 - 11 years ago
Glad you liked it man! I was born early 70's, so yeah, the 80's were my years of inspiration, at least my first years of inspiration. Luckily I still get inspired every day (although there is so much music out there that it sometimes gets a bit difficult to "pick the pearls").

Thanks for listening!

on princess in white lace COLLAB with STOHGS by DanGoldstein
Very intriguing music here! I love the analog feel to the music! As far as autotuned stuff goess, this is very enjoyable to hear. I agree about the contrapuntal nature of the composition, I like that in a tune. Stohgs has some excellent intuition when it comes to sound, and his contribution is important here, I can feel it. Everything feels too short today, even the 10 minute ##### mix I just heard... would love to hear some new sections incorporated here. Fine quality stuff! Fave!
DanGoldstein
DanGoldstein replied 9th Mar 2015 - 11 years ago
yea - this was actually my first trial with autotune (gsnap plugin). just getting her voice gravitating around b natural minor. Stoghs' effect was way more. glad you had a chance to check it out and always appreciate your comments brother. Dan

on DJ The Observer--Bring it all-- big remix by djtheobserver01
oooo... I see my name there, wonder what loop you used?! Diggin this ##### stuff I think it's funny when I read that ##### is around 150 BPM around the net, as that is just funny to me! 176 is a nice choice for hard stuff... or 100 if you're talking proof...lol. Just getting to that beatbox ##### part, very cool! Very much my kind of #####, brings me back to 2000 or so. I should listen to this again after my bottle is at a lower volume, ha ha. Were you smokin something while making this, because I'm getting the munchies. I totally can't figure out what loop you used of mine here, so if you feel like revealing your secret I'd be happy! Awesome mix man! Fave!

on Drowning Remix - Die Toten Hosen - Ertrinken by jklice
Well, firstly, I'm enjoying listening to this one. I don't know if I'd classify it as punk in any recognizable way, and you'd probably get a lot more listens if you just chose electronic or something as a genre. Maybe it's closer to a digital version of new wave pop music. It sounds like you used a VST guitar sound, and I think that's the main part I don't get into. The repetitive synth theme is pretty cool though. Has a lot of potential!
jklice
jklice replied 7th Mar 2015 - 11 years ago
Thanks for enjoying the track, and classyfing a genre really helps. Yes I used a VST Guitar sound, a few of them actually but some very modified. I should change it up a bit and see what else I can do to make it sounds better.

on Fusion4 ft BabyGee JJWeekz by promenade2239
I like the randomness of the sounds and arrangement on this song! I don't know if I'd want to interact to closely with someone who used a song like this to "chill out." They might need to cut down on hard drugs! The epiano is groovy as usual though. The mix has a good sound to it, and is pretty dynamic but also loud enough for me to enjoy at a normal volume setting. Once the vocals come in, I guess it does get more like a chill vibe, so ignore my previous comment... ha ha. You have a unique musical vision that I appreciate. The big influences you list on your profile are definitely not my kind of fusion preferences, but you take those influences and give them new life. I'm getting "trip hop" from this a bit, and I usually like that kind of vibe. I've been having fun listening through your catalog! Hope you are well!
promenade2239
promenade2239 replied 3rd Mar 2015 - 11 years ago
Thank you again! Firstly you made me really rethink the 'chillout' label here, now listening to it I realize it's truly much more trippy than that. Basically it's a bit weird compilation of different influences: lm loops, other loops, lm acapellas and my playing. I made 'quirky' parts slicing audio and simply played it from the keyboard - the results are unique and simply different each time (random!), I like that. Just very experimental track of mine but I am really happy you liked the listening experience I created. I want to go even more into an electronic experimental music some day but must wait until I get much better equipment.
Thank you for your continuous support and kind words! Alex

on My Newest Creation - Fight Another Day by BradoSanz
This is a cool pop rock sort of song, I dig it! I think your brother's and your vocals are quite excellent! All the guitars sound pretty good too. All in all a very cohesive mix. I agree that it could be improved with a real drum kit, as I found the cymbals to be quite tinny, but it didn't really take away from the effect of the song. Had fun listening! Great work!

on The Self Illusion by promenade2239
Hey friend! That is pretty impressive! I looked up the MrRay thing, and was surprised that it was like a rhodes emulator... because it made some surprising sounds in this track! To be honest it didn't sound like 14 channels at all, which I think is a good thing. Very cohesive and enjoyable listening experience!
promenade2239
promenade2239 replied 28th Feb 2015 - 11 years ago
Thank you! I have been using MrRay when creating epiano on my tracks for quite a long time. I had to layer it again and again to get the satisfying results. No difference this time. It's not sample-based but still very great plugin. Also the chord progression and my playing are quite simple here - that may be the reason for seeking interesting 'soundscape' instead. I want post some songs that are entirely live played (in opposite to 'produced') soon.
I just discovered this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clqR9Qi_AAU and am listening a lot to this. That was also my main inspiration on this track.
Many thanks for your nice words! Alex

Very nice pop song you've got in the works here! I am fond of your guitar playing on this one. I'm finding that I am really not very good at rhythm chord playing, but you obviously are. Sure, the mix will change, but you've got a great start to good final product. Well done!

The key to it is to practice with a click track! I used to sit and play for hours till I could play on time with no problem. Maybe that might help you with your rhythm too :)

on Got a Feeling ft Igor Pose by mrwolf14
Just like you said, slow rock! Has that kind of shoe gaze sort of vibe, mixed with some good classic rock. Digging the guitar work on this very much! Crazy vocal part, but it really works in this setting. Mail man knocked on the door and interrupted my listening, so I paused it, coming back I realized it was in the last couple of seconds... bummer. Very enjoyable to hear!
