on JSA by Ozcorps
I think it would help the listenability of this if the vocals had some sort of processing run on them to remove some of the upper frequencies, the "air" sounds. If the vocals were at the right frequencies, this would be GREAT. The rapping is really good, the music is good. It's only a matter of frequency levels. Absolutely worth the fix. Good job so far.

on For nice people (demo) by DJVO
Very nice opening, a little much on the high frequencies, but beautiful. Wow good job. This is one of the best intro build-ins that I've heard on this site. Excellent beat and synth playing against each other. NICE changes on the synths. Really good, this is exactly how trance should feel to hear. Great job.

on Murda by Cristal
That's dark as shi. Loved the fade in ... this is excellent!! The way the siren pans is awesome. Just straight out this makes me feel like I've been stabbed in an alley, and it rains while I die. And the cops are too late. ;)

Very intense, yet not aggravating b/c of the melody. Nice work.

on Angels V.S Devils by Dj_ATA
Nice bass in there, really nice!! Love it, it's distinct. It really brings the beat to the level. Can't wait to see where this goes ... Very nice instrumental break in the middle. You really know how to create atmosphere, with wonderful melodies. And the build back in was quick but sufficient, could have built a bit better - but I like it. It's apparent you put some effort into the sounds in the higher frequency range, and with your skills with melody, it really works well. An 'open sky filled with life' of a song. The feeling in this song is about how I feel all the time, so it doesn't sound "sad" to me. Sounds like life man. Great work.

on Lament by Tiltedbeats
Wow this IS amazing. I read some of your forum posts a few weeks back about spacing out the frequencies and what parametric equalizer 2 was for. So I actually thanked you in one of my track descrips. I wish I had checked your music then, as this is indeed the finest track I've heard on this site to date. Such nice work. In creating this everything flowed out? It sounds so universal, like anybody in any country could understand what this means. Love it. Great work.

Is this FL?

Tiltedbeats replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
ahhhh yes, mastering a tune is icing on the cake lol :P im glad i could help... your comments are very flattering, i really appreciate it mate :)

yep, i made this tune in one night. i was up by myself and something personal was on my mind, so i sat down and started a strings melody. from there i added other pads delayed sounds, violin etc. it was really special.

oh, and yep, it was made in FL Studio. i only have FL 5, so everything i make is made in there :)

thanks once again!!!!

on Shorty Play Checkers With Me full version by dirtydishrag
Actually you don't have any reviews because you don't review anyone. FYI.

on Shorty Play Checkers With Me full version by dirtydishrag
Hey man I like this! Great job. The vocal needs a slight bit of limiting or compression. But great echoes on it, good job on the harmonies with the girl. I love what you're singing. After the part about playing checkers, the vocals don't come back, that might be nice if you brought them back in. Honestly I'm surprised you don't have more reviews on this, I thought it was an excellent track that does need but is definitely worthy of some improvement. Good job.

Thank you for the review, my wife and I would like to do more with this one. We're very amateur and still trying to figure this stuff out. I enjoy listening to a lot of the tracks on here, but I've been a little bit lazy. Time to start reviewing some tracks.

on Gimme Love by RadioGuevara
I like intro, there's something a little bit off about it that it doesn't quite jibe. Actually after the chick sings, it starts to seem like it's a little better but still something is weird about the way they are matched and I can't tell what it is. Maybe it's where the vocal is against the track. Everytime the girl sings, and the rap comes back it sounds good again, but then it soon seems off again.

RadioGuevara replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I noticed the same thing, I have to fix it a little. It's one of my first tracks. In the first part of the rap is offset a little point about the music. Thanks for your advice!

on Trantor by Kper
Yeh I love what I have read of Asimov, and that definitely peaked my interest in both your track and his story. So right now as I am listening to it, I am really visualizing and fully interpreting what you are expressing in the track, and then I will check the story out and follow-up. Great job though b/c I can really pull a lot from it just listening to it. A lot of feeling, sense of space and place, function, drama and time. Nice job. Isn't it wonderful as art moves through one form to another?

Kper replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Sorry for the really delayed response to your review- I was going back through my tracks and finding out that I missed responding to some reviews which is embarassing. Thanks for your kind words and for all the great music you put out. Kper

on 43ter by jontisch
Nice snare hit! This is good, give it some more attention, it deserves it. Love when everything falls away. You do a good job with that. Not sure about the chimes yet... waiting to see what happens with them .... and ..... Well, the transition came kind of abruptly and I am not sure if the choice of instrument before and after is the best, but I think you've got a lot of the groundwork laid for something awesome. Love the next transition into the chimes, great!!!! But then those chimes again, they just don't quite fit somehow, they feel cold when the water should be hot, you know?

on Meet Me in the Hall Way by theonetruebrew
Yeh man this is great work. Really beautiful. You guys did great jobs and I love your vocals on this again. You don't get as many reviews as you should and I think it is b/c you belong on the radio and not this site.

on Ok Go by theonetruebrew
Aw man I love your voice and singing so much!! Aidans right. This is like the best thing I've heard on this site. Love it. Please please do something to anything of mine, make me a real song!! (you know like the kind with the sounds of "people" in them?) :)

on Beginning's by curtisstjames
Beautiful strings, and the bass comes in well. Really like this!! The variation on the strings, and then they go away, it starts to rock. Good energy. Like the synths that come. Really appreciate the use of the strings in this, gives it a really good feel of a bright, positive day going on. It placed me like en route to the city somewhere cool in europe. Nice! When the voice starts in, beautiful!! Good transition there. Like the mood of the voice as well. Those strings are primo dude. Loved it.

on king of kings (deep) by kmy
I really like this song!! I wish your beatboxing were just a bit clearer and distinct from the melody as it is gettin going, but I really liked the main song.

CalifKen 12th Jul 2009 18:22 - 17 years ago

on Feelings by DoaniDeejay
This is good. The melody as it opens is great. Once the beat comes in, it's very clean and as it goes on, I like the higher array of sounds going on, but it does perhaps need some more depth to the bass, more depth and strength of melody.
