on A sea of stars by sirefox
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.

on Venting by CNI
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

on You Already Knew by Micky
Hi Micky, Really good progression; I definitely felt like I was in a "Disco Elevator" ;)

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.

on Deep jungle walk by sirefox
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.

on Ow Oh Ow Oh by pseudoble
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 : )

on i saw you in my dream by St3phko
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.

on Never Gonna Stop Lubass Remix By AAP Featuring HDF by Lubasskoo
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.
