on Just When You Think by Micky
Has a very nice Fleetwood Mac vibe to it! I like it a lot, but (listening on cheap headphones so that might be to blame) most of the soundscape seems to be in the mid and high, and less so in the lower region? I'll give it another go with better sound later.
Lovely song though and I always love seeing collabs, so both of you well done guys!

Hey BB, nice to hear from you. Sure, Fleetwood Mac, but please only in the chorus part. I took the low end into account... it must be the headphones. Thank you for listening and commenting.
Cheers,
Micky

on Connect by MagneticRecords
And enjoy I did. It's straightforward but at the same time you included a lot of fun details that keep me hooked throughout the song. Great job!

on Word by Jkingz ft RyanCali by Jkingz
Awesome job. Love what you did with the acapella; compared to the original it has so much more energy now, excellent.
One thing you could consider is around 1:40 to have say a 2 bar "tag", to give the audience a couple seconds to catch up. Not 100% sure of that though, because now it's relentless and that actually also works.
Top notch. Keep rocking! (Or in your case, DnBing ;)

Massive track man, and a very interesting back story. Love your work!

ValveDriver replied 14th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago
Thanks, man. This is the one that really kicked off my usage of dubstep elements in my tracks...without it being dubstep.

I'm glad you dig it. Thanks again.

Take care.

on all those years by phantomproduction
Oh, maybe one tiny thing. I note that from around 2:40-3:00 the vocal is slightly trailing behind the drums (the snare), and it might pay off to align that a bit more? Or was that intentional?
phantomproduction
phantomproduction replied 14th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago
Hi Baobou! you may be right about the alignment of the voice on the chorus, I stole the song from you tube (without having the real tempo) and I extracted the voice with accapella extractor, I got a little pissed off on this piece but I found the voice interesting, anyway, you know I don't spend a lot of time on the pieces, I try to find the right balance between the tone of voice and the style of music (sometimes It's not very successful lol!)

on all those years by phantomproduction
Ready to go mainstream, this is as usual a monster track. Man, I wish I could spend a day producing and learning with you :D Absolutely delicious drums too. I note how the snare really pops out - let me see if I can emulate that a bit :) Do you use a gate on the snare mic?
phantomproduction
phantomproduction replied 14th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago
Hi guy! to answer your question, I compress the drums very little, since when you go from wave to mp3 you lose dynamics, I don't know if that answers your question but I work like that! thank you for listening and commenting!

Very cool interpretation. Also especially love and appreciate the drum fill from around 1:39, tight as a... well, as a drum :)

Hello BaoBou,

When I learned that little Bass line back in 1972 I thought I was God LOL. I must have played it 1000's of times on everything from a Acoustic Piano to a Micro Moog (which had just came out) I used it to decide which Keyboard instrument I would buy (Farfisa Professional Gino Vanelli had just released
"Ma Ma Co Co" he played Farfisa)sorry about the rant I may or may not have had too much Coffee. LOL.

Thanks for your listen and comments on this track.

PEACE...

on Go On by crucethus
OK, now I also get "Take a Chance" better. I do think if you merge the 2 tracks, maybe cut part of it but not much, then you have an absolutely epic track. Hats off man!

hey there, BB! i love that spare but really expressive beat and how well it matches eliot’s own cadence recorded like a hundred years ago. i’m really happy to have your listen, man!

on Resonance by EmmaniFreeze
Very nice! I can't hear the flute but I do think there was something like a gamelan or some Asian bells?
EmmaniFreeze
EmmaniFreeze replied 23rd Jun 2022 - 3 years ago
Thanks,

the very breathy wind instrument that repeats was where I got the idea of the flute. The Asian instrument I think you were referring to was the koto; it had a bit of fx, so it sounds different.

on Somebody With Joshua Wong by alessandro5c
My first thought was: what, like Hong Kong Joshua Wong, the jailed dissident and personal hero of mine? :D
I like the song, but to be honest, to me the autotune is distracting now. Can you make it less harsh? I would prefer a bit more natural voice, even if maybe not all of it is 100% in tune - that would also allow you to get the emotions more into the song. I would also consider to allow more dynamics in the vocals so you have more of a build-up.
All in all again a great effort man. Good work!

on Yjuna - Bright Day - Initium Edit by InitiumMusic
That's a really interesting and impressive track! the intro is maybe a touch long and you risk losing people there with our tiny attention spans these days, but those people would be wrong, and it's worth staying around and experiencing the whole track :)
One tiny thing: the snare sound you use feels a bit "dry" while it's such an important sound in the track. I think you could add maybe some massive reverb, or see if you have another sample for it?
Good luck man. Great work.
InitiumMusic
InitiumMusic replied 19th Jun 2022 - 3 years ago
Definitely agree with you there. Still working on it. But I agree with the snares. I've just been kind of waiting on my ear surgery first lol, so I'm just going by graphs right now, since I can't trust my ears.

on Tough Guy Ft Wise11 by Shatner
Very good. As a rule I'm not a huge fan of spoken text over a track but I feel you really made it work, not as a gimmick but an integral part of the song. Well done.

on Modnex - Last Breath WIP by Modnex
First of all condoleances. I've unfortunately gone through this 4 times and it never stops hurting.
I think the song has promise; I also think there are some improvement points. The strong points are I think the drums, chord scheme and lyrics. Your voice works well (cool britpop style), but check to see that the tune you're singing fits the scale of the chords.
Definitely keep working on it, making music is cathartic and it can also help others (or even yourself) to write these things down. All the best to you and your family!
Modnex
Modnex replied 18th Jun 2022 - 3 years ago
Thanks, BaoBou! I appreciate the condolences and am very saddened to hear you had to go through this too. Once is enough. I couldn't even imagine what it must have been like to go through this four times. Sorry for all those that you lost. Stay strong. I appreciate your honesty with the criticism. I'm always aiming to improve my vocals. With each track I do, I can hear the improvement, so all hope is not lost just yet lol. As for the scale; Were you referring to the key of the track? I feel the key wasn't off. The way I sang this was done purposefully. As that was the style I was going for at the time. I wanted it to sound upbeat yet dreary at the same time. Which could understandably make it sound off-key. I was going for a "foster the people - Pumped up kicks" type of vibe. Not sure I succeeded but that was the idea at the time. Thanks for stopping by.

Klinkt lekker! Strakke beat en een prima opbouw.
Wat is Splice voor iets? Ook zoiets als Looperman?

GekkeMusic replied 16th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago
Hey! Bedankt voor je reactie!

Splice is een platform waar je samples en presets voor verschillende plugins kunt downloaden via een maandelijkse subscriptie. Heel veel producers maken daar veel gebruik van, waaronder ik :)

on If this is it EP FIRST LOOK by MichaelMayo
Many great ideas - I understand it's 10 seconds of each track? I like the one at 0:34 best, but they all sound interesting.
Not sure this is how you'll get the most out of Looperman, but good luck with the album!

on UNDERMORPHINE - Lost In Translation DEMO by thechockehold
Wow, you got access to some amazing gear and locations :D that would mean nothing if you wouldn't have the talent, the skill and the musicality, and you have that in spades.
Yours is one of those tracks where I like saying: it's not my style but I love hearing it because it's so well done. Kudos!
