on wraith - infected (demo) by hardwareexorcist
Hey,what else can I say..another great track.sweet samples and noize.ths vox are throwing me off a bit,cuz I wanna hear them more,but I realize this is a demo and I cant wait to hear the finish product.now that im back in the swing of things,ill be around here more often and looking forward to hearing more from ya..keep'em comin.

thanks for the review. yeah, the program i mixed this track in for some reason always feels the need to adjust my vocals levels and they either come out too high or too low. so i'm in the process of remedying the situation by just bringing the vox and guitars into the sequencer application and hopefully that'll end that issue. another part of the issue is that i prefer to mix my vocals WITH the music in leiu of ON TOP of the music, ya know? i'm still working out the right combinations of eq and compression to get the sound i'm going for. thanks for the compliments and due to the positive feedback my initial offerings have induced, i'm rather inclined to get some more up for review as soon as the site allows=) hopefully, since you'll be around more to review, that'll mean that you will have been freed up to upload some tracks of your own? you've got a great sound and i'm looking forward to returning the favor.

on CodeRabies - Metalocalypse (demo) by hardwareexorcist
YEP!..U gotta nutha Banger here bro.Hard hittin and relentless.alot cool distorted sounds and change ups here.One might think it to be a bit complex for vox *BUT!* I for one am a Huge fan of making something with an unconventional structure and then Force Feeding it Hot Vox on a Platter.most of my tracks do not conform to the restraints of Verse and Chorus,but hey-thats just me.it is refreshing to here another like minded individual honing his craft..BiGG Up!!

hell yeah! i'm glad you like this track. i kinda figured someone like you would really appreciate where i was going with this one=) i really went to town on this one trying to combine something like ministry and the prodigy, heh. yeah, i really try to monkey around with alternate arrangements as much as i can while still preserving (as much as i can) the beautiful slam that happens when a chorus kicks in at the precise moment. and some songs, like this one, just demand to be taken in so many interesing directions before they turn around and kick you in the teeth. thanks, man, you know it's always cool to know your work reaches someone that appreciates it=)

on TemperFuse - Rehab (demo) by hardwareexorcist
Yo Man-Your're Killin me..this track is BadAzz!..love the guitar,it gives this track a Hard-n-Heavy feel that makes me wanna break stuff.lol.the beat and synth add a kinduva bounce that makes ya wanna nod your head and jam out.Sweet track bro.my fave so far....

thanks for the review, man! i'm glad you're digging on this one so much. yeah, the whole track sprang up from that guitar riff. the rest of the track was done on my K2VX and recorded straight in. the singer for this project would probably wring my neck if he knew i was posting this track before completion, but hell, man, it's just too cool to keep to myself, haha. i'm really glad you like, i'll see what i can do about getting my lazy ass vocalist to do his job and get this track finished up soon.

on Project X - Bolt (demo) by hardwareexorcist
Bangin track bro..lovin the synth work.the subtle break at :25,the build up to the outbreak at 1:22,the change ups at 3:16 and 4:04 all fit together very nicely.cant wait to here it with vox and guitar.im thinkin the guitar is gonna give it a helluva edge.great work soo far-keep it going.

thanks for the review! i'm glad you enjoy the synth work, this was a fun track to program and write. i'm going to probably end up beefing up the drums a touch when i introduce the guitars. the guitars have become a real interesting aspect of this track, since i'm trying to find a unique approach in my chord selections to give it a 'helluva edge' but also to do kind of what i did with the programming, meshing sounds and melody in a very perpendicular fashion, if you follow me. i hope it all turns out well, heh. thanks again!

on wintermute - down (demo) by hardwareexorcist
Nice track man..has a great flow to it,moves along fluidly and consistently without ever seeming restrictive or repeditive.love the bass synth right from the start.nice tight beat and the vox are awesome,I would agree that the vox could be turned up a bit to better define it from the rest of the sounds.maybe some additions to the end of the track,like a build up of synth and vox into a more intense finale and then an abrupt sudden end with the vox echoing out (just something im hearing when im listening to the end).overall production values are very good.sweet track man.looking forward to hearing more.

thanks for the review! i dig the idea of the vocals ending the track and it's something i've been playing around with and it'll probably end up in the final version. and that's a really cool idea about ending with a bigger more intense finale. the final chorus could definitely go for a harder bang after the bridge and that's giving me some ideas to work with. thanks for noticing the mix and production values. this song uses a lot of both hard and soft synths, but because of the nature of the music and individual sounds, it wasn't too difficult to get them into their sonic niches straight away to give a dense layered sound but without sounding muddy or forced.

on Coming Outta the Hills remix by Marius9
Great job.personally I feel that electronic music is perfectly fitting for a zombie flick.all of the old school zombie classics from Romero or italian zombie king Lucio Fulci,use electronic music and they work perfect.i also went electronic with my remix of this track.I love the hard driving beat and synth work on this track,and you did a great job of lining up the vocals to the beat,(which is something that I struggled with).Sweet track.Kudos....

on Pure Insanity by StephenPotter
nice track..love the flange on the drums and the change up at 0:55 is a nice smooth transition.DnB is in the eye of the beholder,which basically means...well im not sure what it means...BUT!.this track has ambience and drum and bass,soo there for it definitely falls into te DnB genre.alot of DnB tracks feature that low sub sweeping bass.however,the genre is more complex than just that and this is a nice addition to the mix.great work.

on paranoid by VampireCowboy
Im totally diggin this..there is alot to be said about abstract/experimental pieces,they truly open up all doors to the listener and let them form their own imagery of what the track symbolizes and what it means to them.for me this track has a menacing feel and I can definitely pick up the sense of paranoia.ive recently uploaded a ambient noise track for my cd,called Nether Noize.it has the same characteristics,in the sense that it leaves alot to the imagination.Kudos to you for stepping outside the box on this track and keeping it totally original.great work.

on Abstract Audio - Airscape by FDV
Great track.very laidback mellow.definitely gonna smoke one (or two) to this jam.I can totally pick up the coffeehouse feel and ambience.starts out kinda slow and then the groove falls right into place when the bassline comes in.loved the change up midway through.ive made a couple chill tracks but im still working on getting that full tilt lounge sound..great work.

The overall sound is the one thing i don't like about this one, it's to clean. I prefer a little edge to my sound. Back then I was at school for road crew, and need to learn the wright way to set up an FX chain.
So don't use any of your effects creative is a good start to achieve that.
