on Synthetic Time(Hard Dub) by TRIS

Ah this is like a hybrid of what I want to make and what should be made. Excellent. And this is just the opening. Very nice. Again, so much what I would / want to do and what I feel like is good music. Love the melody and the synth placement. Great work.

on Aurora by Avail

Like the harp sounds. Good perc work. I know how those mastering challenges can be, you did an excellent job there. Nice progressions. If anything, maybe muck it up a bit. JK. Excellent work, can I download this? We'll C! :)

Avail replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey, thanks. I don't think I got a harp in there, I guess one of the synths sound similar. I'm truly glad that you liked and faved it. No download tho :)

on Jungulation Victor by n0mad23

I like the ebb and flow of these lower frequency sounds. Really interesting. It's like my soul has left my body and is coarsing through the rain forest. Very nice. Interesting textures, synths and perc sounds on an vivid, exotic soundscape.

n0mad23 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks for the listen and review! In my youth in Indonesia at live gamelan performances I used to feel my spirit had left my body, and I'm happy I'm finding the way to recreate that with my stuff. I've been playing around with the next version of this one, and hopefully I won't lose this "trance-inducing" quality. Cheers.

on Run Away FT.HOLLY by YourzTruLee

Ah beautiful track man. Gotta love Holly. Some fine work here. Delicate and concise.

on Get Out of My Head by Dvickers

This one is awesome!! :)

on Across The States 2nd edit by WhiteSands

Yeh the bass is tight and fkn smooth as glass. Like this. Ah this is perfect for driving... day or night - this track is a definite benefit to any circumstance. Great job man. This track is like #1 for all that it represents. Really dig it.

on Belonging to by khrimson

This is good. Great perc work, great rapping on it. It seems like it might be missing something somewhere in the upper frequencies, be it a pad or a synth or a ding or something. It just seems like it all lays really low, and the upper half is empty. If that makes sense. BUt don't get me wrong - love this track. Great work.

CalifKen 25th Jul 2009 20:04 - 17 years ago

on sun 4 u r life by highz

Love the synths. The first kinda lazy sounding one. And then the way the synths sync up for the melody is really nice.

CalifKen 25th Jul 2009 19:56 - 17 years ago

on Motion by koble

Yes - this one moves me, rather, makes me move. Good job.

CalifKen 25th Jul 2009 19:53 - 17 years ago

on Tasered by Scootaboy

Yeh the way everything comes together especially with the good perc work is very nice. All the sounds are clear and distinct. Your work on the perc and synth shows. Like that vocal sample too. Nice build up and release there. Dig that. Hey you're pretty good at this shi. Keep it up.

Scootaboy replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey mate, thanks for the review and the great comments - I appreciate it. Now got another track up which is a bit of a pumping acid house tune.

CalifKen 25th Jul 2009 13:35 - 17 years ago

on Toxic Planet by ToxicVoltage

Man I have made tracks to get through the some shi, I feel ya on this one. Very interesting, how it comes through in the translation!! Good job.

CalifKen 25th Jul 2009 13:07 - 17 years ago

on Just Believe (in Dance) by Afterglow

That happened to me today even. I know exactly what you mean. Nice synth work going on here. Hmmmm... is this all you in FL? Really really cool. Maybe the synth that comes in could be leveled out a bit so the volume on it isn't so hectic. Other than that yeh love it.

Afterglow replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Yeah, for the most part it was me. I mean I have and use loop and sound packages like Vengeance Essential. I stick with minor things from those tho like drums, effects, vocals, etc.. I try to custom make as much as possible, but when you hear that one sound that you KNOW is perfect, you have to use it! :P I also used a few VSTs like Nexus, Z3ta+ and Sytrus, but even with those I try to tweak and modify the sound so it's me. Thank you for the feedback!

on Rain Forest ( Progressive ) by DoaniDeejay

Really nice. This is exactly the kind of music I am trying to do. How do you do it so well?

DoaniDeejay replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

:) thanks for your question , i guess is more about the feeling they you have in the time that you looking for idea for a new track , this track in one of the first track that i did ever and i did it in 3 days ,for example i have maybe 15 more tracks that i have the basic idea but i didnt finsh them yet some of them are 2 month old, and i just dont have the inspiration and the right feeling to finsh them , i think is because of the summer time, so i guess that is all about the feeling :)

on ForgetAboutIt by Gotti

Hey this is nice. It does have a sense of sadness. but it's also pretty good too cuz it is giving me ideas, so it's got that inspire someone else's mind thing going on, which is always good. It's like each sequence stops just 1/8th short, so your mind produces the last 1/8th, which IMO the best music does. Nice job.

Gotti replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

thanks alot for the review.. glad you enjoyed.. if anything you would change im always open to suggestions.. thanks again ...

on dont be foolish by kmy

this is the freshest and only shi like this i've heard on here. great jam, girl. keep it up!!

CalifKen 24th Jul 2009 07:47 - 17 years ago

on Junai by ToxicVoltage

Yeh this opens beautifully. One of those openings that you hear and know that this is what this kind of music is supposed to sound like. Ambient, atmospheric and wonderful. To be honest, I'd like to hear the beat that comes in without the higher synth that comes in attached to it, if that makes sense. Doesn't sound too distorted to me. Sounds good. Maybe it's been fixed?

ToxicVoltage replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

This gave e alot of ideas with your review
:D
I actually fixed the distortion, so the track should sound perfect now
:D

on smooth tip by minusproductions87

Really like what you did with the repeating notes in the piano and the percussion.

CalifKen 24th Jul 2009 02:22 - 17 years ago

on smooth tip by minusproductions87

Well I like it has me moving - good work on the percussion. It might need some sort of bass to go with, I think that might fill it in.

CalifKen 22nd Jul 2009 06:52 - 17 years ago

on I Can Not Sleep feat (Toxic x Voltage) by DjQest

Really nice job on the mix. Great melody.

CalifKen 22nd Jul 2009 05:15 - 17 years ago

on Brave New World by SSA88

This starts very smooth. So far it is keeping smooth, which is allowing all these slight nuances to come through, which is good. Could maybe use a strong kick or bass in there. Like what the bass is doing in there l8r. My hunch is that adding something around the bottom frequencies might fill it out more.

on The Strokes - Reptilia (RedSkin Remix) by joejamin121

Watch out bro copyright notices.

joejamin121 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Didnt even think about that ha! oh well, what did you think of the track?

CalifKen 18th Jul 2009 09:53 - 17 years ago

on Violon by Cristal

Wow I love the way you've combined the upper synth's hip hop, the orchestra strings and deeper bass plucks. Really nice. I think it could use more panning so the instruments are farther apart, and/or a slightly thinner sounding orchestra strings instrument. But who knows, if I tried that on this, I can't say that this version might not be better. It just seems like it wants to be clean. Er.

Cristal replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thnx for the info. I never really messed with the panning so imma c what happens wit that thnx a bunches :)

CalifKen 18th Jul 2009 09:44 - 17 years ago

on FightBack by Triumphant

Hmm... sounds too good man. The raps are SSSIck. The music is great. Exactly the kinda rap that should be on the air these days. Great job on the synths, especially liked those.

CalifKen 18th Jul 2009 09:43 - 17 years ago

on deep by raulynyo

Watch out man, you'll get a copyright notice for that sample.
