Nice calming track. Reminds me of parts of the interstellar soundtrack.
Hats off!

on I am Back - Demo by Eendee
Nice!
I liked the strings that started around 0:34, they added depth to the already great track.
Well done!

This is really well mixed.

The piano part fits very well with the vocals as well.

Good job!

Thanks man! I was playing around with the stereo to make it fit with the piano, but still make it stand out.

This is a really well made track - it definitely takes you on an adventure.

Many shifts in mood that are well orchestrated.

on You and Me by DivadyAlbum1
Well done!

The percussion is great throughout.

I liked how you added and removed the guitar here and there.

The only thing is that I don't quite agree with how you ended it; the ending seemed a bit out of place with the rest of the piece.

on Rainy Saturday by Allochtune
Wow.
Firstly, I am honoured that you thought that piano riff was good enough to create a track based on it.

I have to say that this version is amazingly good, probably even better than mine.

0:33 - 0:36 the vinyl scratching is a great touch.

The running notes around 0:56 - 1:07 really captured the feeling of a rainy afternoon well.

The pitchbend at 1:30 was a goosebumps moment for me.

1:53 was also a pleasant surprise.

Colourful chords throughout, with lots of variance in the percussion keeps my attention.

The outro was a little bit too long in my opinion.

Fantastic track overall!

Your piano riff is really good. When I heard your song I immediately envisioned a scene in my head. I am a very conceptual musician. I start with a concept, a word or a scene and then I can start composing. That way I can give the listeners a feel of what I felt at that moment, convince them of it, so to say. That might sound weird, but that's the way I do it :)
I wouldn't say that my version is better than yours. It is just different. As I said in my comment on your song, you convinced me of that certain feeling that your song gives. That's why I gave it a fave. In my opinion, that is the mark of good music. Thanks for letting me use your piano riff as the basis of this song and also thanks for giving me the feedback! I am glad you enjoyed it. The outro might be a tad long, but I think that it fits with the chill of the song. I will say that the silence at the end is way too long. I'll see if I can fix that someday.
Thanks again for everything!

on Prapancha by bbedford48
This is a really good piece of music.
I think it would be cool if you changed the main melodic instrument a little bit in the middle to mix it up.

Overall, well done!

bbedford48 replied 8th Apr 2017 - 8 years ago
many thanks for your great review. Now I Think about it, you're absolutely right. I should mix up the lead by changing the main melody patch

on The Other Way Around by Orlando51
Sounds great!

It felt like I was driving down a highway at nighttime.

The intro was nice as well.

The guitar is very crisp.
I also liked the piano - it was probably my favourite part - it felt like it gave the music another side of personality.

Hey, this is pretty good!

As someone who uses Magix sometimes as well, I recognized some of the loops, but well done overall, especially how you've transitioned between them.

on Grapefruit by Lorbemzo
Good track overall, really captures that tropical feel.
I thought that it would be better with something with a bit more meat, like something chordal to add to the layers.

Well done!

Well mixed. The balance is superb.

I really liked the intro voice clips, they fit very well, and didn't feel forced, like some of them do.

on Talk to Me v15 by EricMilligan
The bass reminded me of the bass from the Dr. Mario Fever theme.

I think you've captured the 80s theme well.

The vocals were well mixed with a lot of reverb, but it fit very well in my opinion.

The fade out was a little long in my opinion.

Good piece, well done!
EricMilligan
EricMilligan replied 18th Feb 2017 - 8 years ago
Thanks for the encouragement, square root of minus one! :) (I really need to look that up!) I had to go on Youtube to checkout the bass from Dr. Mario Fever theme. Learning every day here on Looperman! On reflection, I think I could drop 8 bars of the fadeout. I usually only have a total of 8 bars, but for some reason this time I used 12. Will experiment. Easily done. I can just change the automation on the volume and drop it down more quickly.

on Dont Keep Your Love Away Parts 1 and 2 by EricMilligan
Woah.

This is astoundingly good.

It's extremely expressive, it captures the emotion of love.

Sounded a lot like the beatles at the beginning, but it morphed into something else later on.

The trumpet part in the first part sounded just a little bit out of place when it first came in.

Fantastic first part.

The second part had some expanding synths around 4:00 that were great.
Also, something like mallet percussion is prevalent throughout the second part, which added a little bit of sparkle.

The third part sounded promising as well.

It would be great if you did finish this project - I would like to hear it in it's entirety.

EricMilligan replied 27th Jun 2017 - 8 years ago
Thanks, sortofneg1. I'm sorry I didn't respond to your post sooner. I do appreciate your listening and leaving a comment. I agree, the third part does sound promising and it is very frustrating that I haven't been able to finish it off. I have partially completed lyrics. Not great, but getting there. My hoped-for singer didn't pan out. Still looking, but frankly, no sense locking in a signer if I don't have lyrics for them to sing. So, this remains a work in progress. Many other tracks in the same status, I'm afraid. I seem to be getting more picky about what I am willing to share (not satisfied with the quality of my tracks) and, at the same time, finding it harder to finish off anything. Is a bad combination I think. :)

on UK RnB Track v8 by EricMilligan
I think this is my favourite piece of yours.

The intro is probably the best throughout all of your pieces too.

The combination of the bass and the piano parts was amazing. They simply sound great together.

2:35 was the highlight for sure, the modulation was great.
The outro organ? sound was excellent as well.

The vocals aren't as bad as you might think. Of course, they can be better, but your voice still managed to capture what I thought was the essence of the piece.

Perhaps you should revisit this piece. It's way better than I think you give it credit.
EricMilligan
EricMilligan replied 27th Jun 2017 - 8 years ago
Well, after reading your comment, I just had to listen to the track again to see what I thought of it after all this time. I think it definitely has promise. Needs lyrics. And a proper singer, but on reflection I think it's worth some more effort on my part. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I think I needed that. :)

on Brody B Inspired v 23 by EricMilligan
Great sounds all over.

I'm especially fond of the synth that starts around 1:08, and the subtle strings that come in later on.

The melody lines sounded unique to me.

The bass ostinato fit way better than one would think.

Great dynamic contrast as well.

Nice job!

on Falcon Trance 8 by EricMilligan
Great track!

I was not expecting the flute at the beginning as the principal melody line.
I was pleasantly surprised.

The section at 0:53 sounds great. Perhaps a little change in percussion could have emphasized that a bit more.

I like how you play with the panning in the melody line throughout later on - it really adds another layer of expression.

The snap? sound with reverb when all the other instruments dropped out around 2:25 ish was excellent. It added a bit of punch.

Well done!

on 9 AM Streets by Allochtune
Wow.

I think you've certainly captured the essence of 9am streets for sure.

The piano loop is well incorporated throughout.

The subtle pitchbend at times in the melody has great effect.

Well done!

I really loved the guitar part, as you expected, and also the prevalent tritone in the bassline.

Well done!
