Glad you enjoyed it. I recently spent a month down on one of NZ's subantarctic islands which was a real privilege but I think the isolation and drama of that landscape and human history got to me and came out subconsciously with this one.

on Axone - You left me first by Aleksei1

It has promise, but I would argue that the part after the drop could use a vocal too?

Aleksei1 replied 5th Mar 2023 - 3 years ago

thats the whole point...this is a vocal track I posted a quick snip of it...looking for input as I cannot sing

on Crazy Too Featuring Richie Sykes by BigHeartProduction

That's a magnificent beat, and with those vocals that's a great track. Top job!

Hey Thanks I appreciate that

on Always Faithful - Edit by SkodaEDM

Lovely and great job using your own vocals. You don't sound fully confident yet, but that's fine, every track you'll gain a bit... Just keep doing it!
Great synth sounds and a strong ending!

SkodaEDM replied 4th Mar 2023 - 3 years ago

Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback. This one was originally recorded about 20 years ago. I wasn’t a vocalist then (and certainly am not one now), but I gave it a shot. :P

on You Need To Understand by RedJoe

This feels like it could be a Skunk Anansie song, and that's definitely a good thing. Some very strong drumming, is that live?

RedJoe replied 4th Mar 2023 - 3 years ago

Thanks! Hmmm I need to check them out. I wonder who would sound like the sampled vocals. The drums are a VST!

on Hungry brains by gigahit

I like this one too. Great rhythm and some lovely elements, plus it's very coherent. I think you're really telling a story here.

on Early spring by gigahit

I love that it's very ambitious. Some amazing sounds; also some things where maybe you can tinker a bit more.
Around 0:15 the piano arpeggios go off in a slightly different direction than the violins, but they come back to find each other.
Around 0:26 you introduce an electric guitar, which I liked, but it doesn't really return and then you may want to think to do that later. Now you sort of keep the listener hanging; you showed the shotgun, now it has to be fired (maybe you know the theatre reference).
All in all super interesting and I'm curious to see what else you have :)

on I feel Im getting by pseudoble

Much better :)
It happened to me too in the past and several people listened and commented on various things but nobody noticed the weird ending, which was... Odd :D
Still a good track my friend, and now even better!

pseudoble replied 4th Mar 2023 - 3 years ago

Thanks - just tried another little tweak to try to bring that vocal up ... live and learn hey

See you have a new one so will have a listen shortly : )

BaoBou 2nd Mar 2023 11:20 - 3 years ago

on I feel Im getting by pseudoble

Just listened again and it seems to me the ending is very sudden. Is that intentional?

pseudoble replied 2nd Mar 2023 - 3 years ago

Adjusted now : )

on CXRTER - Late Night Ft Xbrodie by swansea

I see this is an older track, but I love it. Great jazzy vibe and a lovely vocal too. Fantastic stuff, hope your EP does well/did well. Send me a link!

on Save Me by tcpscore

It's very nice. I especially like the transition after around 1:13.
As a tip, you can probably increase the master level on your track quite a bit, and then possibly gain some loudness with a bit of compression. Not so important musically, but it may help you to get it across.

tcpscore replied 3rd Mar 2023 - 3 years ago

Thank you very much for the feedback. I have just started looking at what compression does and how it affects music. Thank you for the tip!!!

on Lo-Fi instrumental jam by familyvaluesllc

I like it, except for the guitar-y sound, which doesn't fully fit, in my mind.
The rest of the track is really smooth and lovely, and I could imagine youight want a bit more edge to it, but it's not really working for me - without being able to tell you what I'd expect. Maybe something a bit slower and melodic?
Good luck, keep working at it because it's a really nice one!

Promising, but a bit short of course. Will you post a full version?

BaoBou 28th Feb 2023 14:33 - 3 years ago

on I feel Im getting by pseudoble

I need your drum vsts, they sound awesome!
Very trippy indeed! I likes it!!

pseudoble replied 28th Feb 2023 - 3 years ago

Thanks my friend - I bounced the midi tracks to audio in mixing so I cant double check but I think all the drum and percussion sounds come from Akai kits. Lately I seem to have half a dozen drum or percussion tracks with maybe 1 or maybe up to 4 or 5 elements in the one track. Less gives more control over the sound but is fiddly hey. Then I usually treat them differently (fx's, or sculpting the sound) before mixing - I think this one has some delay on the snare dominant track and that gives it more of rolling sound. I must admit I dont really know what Im doing so it's trial and error : )

That start is pretty epic. The rest of the track also doesn't disappoint. Star trek meets 80s disco!
Absolutely lovely, great you brought this back.

Hey BaoBou, Star Trek meets 80's Disco is a great description... I'll have to remember that.
Glad you liked it and thanks for listening.

I'm totally up for a jam. I have a practice room near Cambridge Heath with amps and a drumset, so if you're interested (and not too far, London is huge, I already found), send me a DM!
