Hi jesse22, this sounds like a little story. Piqued the interest; I like all the radio sounds and emergency broadcasting system voice. I wasn't too fond of delays on the voice though, the doubling feels off for what is happening in this intro. I got the sense like I was in a hangar of some kind running toward an exit while the emergency system speaks and sounds blare. Levels could be brought up a little bit.
Hi toastedavalanche, oh, I wished you could have loaded this on 9/22 which is the official "end-of-summer" day :) Timing would have been perfect. Really chilled track, great voice, nice guitar, good progression, I like the use of the tamborine, it comes in at the right moment to give the track the right boost with the vocals; and even the whistle was timed well. Only thing to me is that...due to the way pop tends to be structured, I felt I like I was listening to a version of some other pop song. This is not to be interpreted as negative.
Hi alvinproductions, this is really classic; I think trance is the one genre where you can drive it almost 9-minutes long and it won't feel that way at all. The bassline and synths keep it moving and the changes throughout makes half the track go by in a flash. The only thing is that it feels like you have 3,4-5 tracks running back to back. It doesn't have a "trance theme" if I can word it that way. There's no main melody that connects the basslines or gives the track a signature sound. At 4:21 or so I thought It was going to get there but was somewhat short-lived.
Hi SpeakUpProd, I really like the vocal sections that come-in every now and then, that adds some really nice character that really sounds good it adds air to the track. Only thing is that I want to hear more of that voice now. Drums sound really good too, pretty clear, good snare to me. I can suggest a bit more structure; the track feels lengthy despite being 3mins; my short attention span mostly; but some variety would be nice with the strings in the back and drums, give the track a theme. "Burn our Love" sounds like the right title :) good work.
Hi traz75, pretty little tune; I haven't heard any of the loops you used but everything seems to have been well selected, all sounds mesh with each other quite well. I have never heard Fusion but this is great. Nice metallic sounds, cool melody. Pretty generic at times, especially when it cycles back around after the break. I think this is ready for vocals :) good job
Hi Zootman2u, really great vocal track; pretty jazzy, trip-hoppy; and cool trumpet :) All instruments go well with each other, nothing out of the ordinary, pretty laid back. Good work.
Hi topclass, listened to this one several times, I really like the intro chords and the booming drums; it flows really nicely when the vocals come in, too. I like the minimal transitions as well, it keeps interest. Really nice 2:40s; Only thing I really wanted to change a bit was the main lead which plays almost throughout, I felt it could get a second section and the notes changed a bit to add some variation to it.
Hi MrAxel, I actually heard your track yesterday; but decided to listen a few more times again today. I really like the various sfx that occasionally transitions the track; the sounds are all pretty crisp and the track is quite chilled but also moves, I give that to the nice keys. A really good listen for my morning. Only thing for me is that it did get a bit repetitive, as the main keys and drums go for a while. A little change somewhere to divert a little while keeping the theme consistent would be good. Keep up the great work.
Wow! Thanks for taking the time my friend. Now that is a real review by you, win, lose, or draw. Just that fact alone I find awesome about your review. So often people comment on other songs just to bump their song up. I really appreciate that!
Thank you very muchioncewas. My Voice is like melancholic for that because it really happend that day. I wrote this Song in end august 21 and 2nd septmeber my relation. I wasn´s sad that day... just pure anger and frustration. I´m make honest music, hope you all can hear it.
Hi sirefox, such great introducing sounds, that distortion sounds great and then the Vocal comes in...a sweet addition. But I missed to hear more of it. I thought it was moving toward a combination of both but then the vocal leaves off and never returns, except an occasional "oooh" toward the end, but the subtle in/out of it sounds excellent, nonetheless. Of course that guitar is the meat of the potatoes :) Sounds good; I was thinking that the guitar could use a delay; In my head I heard the ending notes just tailing off enough to fill in some areas. I would experiment, sounds in one's head doesn't always translate well and placing words to describe it is not really all that effective as well. Good subtle drums, no hats? I was considering that the beat sounds like a break, and you can add some of those "ghost notes" (as they used to be called a long time ago...) between the snare. It will fill the area in a nice way I think. I'm not working on anything at present so I'll be around and listen to more. Keep it up.
Hola amigo ionce, gracias por tus comentarios, tienes razón que podría haber ampliado la vocal con más partes, lo he hecho en algunas canciones en Youtube, pero realmente soy más instrumentista, y prefiero usar algún sintetizador solista que me resulta más fácil a la hora de editar la canción. La verdad es que no entiendo el ingles y no sé lo que dice las acapelas de audio, lo que me retrae mucho a la hora de utilizarlas. Que tengas una buena noche y paz y salud en el mundo.
Hi CNI, I actually listened to this a few days back; I really enjoyed how the track is introduced; the horns together with the way the drums flow really sounds great. Only thing is I could not make out certain sections of the vocal. The doubling makes this an issue I think. For example, between 11s and 20s the vocal is really clear, but once you start the main area it gets a bit unclear. Also, I wished it was longer. :) good work.
Cheers for the critique , I have zero experience with audio and no knowlege of music really, but I was discussing with my bro about finding a different instrumental and doing a full track , I literally wrote this on way home from work in about 5 mins so. Is what it i. Thank you for pointing out about the Audio I’ll go back over it. Bless to you man
I saw this video where a few guys in disco clothes squeezed themselves into an elevator that was styled disco and danced wildly in there. In fact, that's what inspired me to write this track. It's nice that that's how it came across to you.
Hi sirefox, I've heard a few of your items and I have observed them to be really chilled, happy, and overall good listens. This one is no exception, I don't grasp what a house rack should sound like and these days genres are really bad labels ;) I would actually say this is more of a trancer than a houser. In terms of this piece in some detail, everything actually sounds really good, nothing overpowers, all the instruments come in nicely, fair balanced; however, a little "thin" and "dull" throughout. The claps could come in a bit more, perhaps even the hats, just a tad so they can be heard a bit more; currently they feel less part of the track even though I know there's an accented hit there; Or adjust the bassline a little to make room. The only other thing is that I was really waiting for the melody to divert a bit by 2m:20s or so, so that when you come in again at 2:50s, as all these instruments come together so nicely there I thought the opportunity is there to add more :) I'll be sure to comment on other of your work as well. Keep it up.
Hi Pseudoble, "floats along"...I think you did that fantastically. It's been a very long time since I've touched an MPC; you should make a few loops with it and post them, the sounds of the drums are quite rich and clear. That's what gives this track such a shine. The atmospheric sounds, sax, and the subtle hum...all feel really good; The only issue I have is the mid-drums loop (a break?) that comes in every now and then. I think it sounds strange to me because it has some low end sounds like bongos. Only thing I suggest is experimenting that fill-in sound. You could program a break using the drums you already have moving the track, so that the fill feels natural. Keep it up you're doing great. I'll ensure to listen more to other of your pieces.
Thanks for the careful listen and thoughtful feedback - I dont have an MPC - just the DAW! which is what I use with a mini keyboard (and I have other keyboards and guitars which I sometimes experiment with). I dont think I known for sure which bit has the low end sounds but Ill have a listen with the headphones on and see if I can find it. Even if I can I doubt Im experienced enough to fix it - very much have my L plates on in learning the software and putting things together. This of course is why comments like yours on looperman are so good - helps me (us) to learn : )
Hi Stephanz, I wasn't sure where to leave a comment, I actually listened to a few of your tracks and I'l likely leave a comment anyway on several, but this one captured my ears by it's warm tones and welcoming theme. Great atmospheric synths, relaxing; the effects on it are subtle but effective, I would actually not mind a little more delay so the end notes tail a little longer, I like when notes tail long enough so they feel part of the next set of notes. Keep up the great work.
This was one of the first tracks I heard here and I wanted to come back to say a few words. I really like the structure of this piece. Every section meshes with the last very well.
The intro synth is wonderful, I like that subtle bandpass effect on it. The piano section with bendy-filtering is also a great addition. Pretty much every sound you included carries the track in a uniform way. Levels sound pretty great, too. I would say the only change I was expecting was a different melody after the break, that would allow the track to change a bit. As is, it sounds good. I don't make alot of music and I certainly don't claim to be of any kind of experience, but good sound is good sound ;) Keep it up.
