Hehehe, thank you so much for the compliments! I have been watching the Mighty Boosh lately, maybe I took inspiration from them without realizing it. I really appreciate the support!

on Diggy Diggy Doo By Albert rd Recordings&billydubs by billydubs
As Acrylic said, the drums are a little 80's R&B and the stuff youd find on the Vengence electro cd are superb and would deffinately help out.

The only thing i could probly recommend is to try and use quite a few loops in your tracks for the time being, and work on your sound designing. e.g.

pull some drum loops into your Daw, start them all off, and then over the top of them really spend a good bit of time trying to replicate the sort of sounds you hear on electro tracks. saving them as presets as you go.

Maybe do a day on leed lines, then a day on pads and strings, a day on bass's E.T.C..

That way when it comes to making you track you have a whole host of ready to go presets that all fit the style your doing.

Some people would probly recommend you do it the other way round (drums first then presets) and to be honest drums are one of the most important things in a track but both ways are fine, im just giving you the version that worked for me.

The reason im recommending this is because before you know it you will be able to master all the tools to get you well on the way to beat making heaven just think of it as the Audio version of the Karate Kid "Wax on, Wax off" :)

on She keeps on (Hello) by cdm
Hi Dude.

Not a bad try at all fella.

Altho a few things i would deffinately consider changing would be too remove the drums altogether as they are way outa time and a little distracting.

And open you mouth a little more when you sing, your key is ok but your tone is really low so you need to open up you mouth or the words dont form propperly.

Nice composition tho fella. if you need any help with drum programming or sounds or anything really, just gimme a shout and ill be more than happy to help you out as much as i can:)

I really look forward to hearing this in the future as it grows into a fully fledged track :)

on The Pursuit Of Manliness by Acrylic
Great glide bass sound dude.

There were a few sound's in there tho that didnt seem to go with the rest, they sounded like they were kinda tacked on, really detracted from the rest of the awesome track you had made, dont think it was the melodies they were playing just think its the sounds chosen and there volume, sorry dude...

Sadly im a little out of options, im got trillogy the other day but when i render it its always a halfstep out of sync :( ugh this is toxic 4 from image line doin the basslines but they didnt cut it dry so there is a lot of distortion on it. im trying to fix trillogy cause its got some great sounds. maybe then ill fix this. Thanks for the critisism i really do apreciate it.

on FIGHT FOR YOUR DREAMS by djsebastyan
Another really nice track dude.

Loving the vibe and the sound, the composition is spot on too.

The only things i would maybe change would be to drop the vocals volume by about 3 to 6db and try to get a good warming plugin like psp vintage warmer or t-racks and put it on the master to make the 2 gel a little better as they sound a little independant at the moment, altho that could be due to the volume being a little high.

Also at 1:18 when the track breaks down i was convinced you were going to came in with a basshunter/Ultrabeat lead line, woulda sounded superb after the beautifull melodic build you had made.

Please dont take anything iv said in a negative way, its all ment constructively and i really like this track.

on Sunset by djsebastyan
Hiya dude,

Nice mellow track here kinda reminds me of Dario G's stuff.
The builds and drops are great and i really like the way the piano comes in.( im always doing a similar thing, love piano's lol)

I would probly say the piano could use with being layered up with another one with a slightly higher tone or try a boost between 3 & 7 hz on the piano youve got on there already because sounds a little bit like the top end is low in volume. failing that, layering up with a harp works wonders and little boosting at 10hz will give it sparkle.

Also the bass wasnt really my cup of tea when the track first started because it felt like it lacked a little body, but after everything else was in, it sounded spot on and worked really well with the rest of the track.

Great work dude relly liked it :)

on Through My Eyes (Sample) by CR1Tic
only 3 hours of work and trance aint your genre but you come out with an absolute banger??!!!??!?!?!?

Hummmmmm.....Im comfooosimilated. lol..

Dude i toured with Euphoria for a while back in the day and i dont remember any of them boys making anything near as good as this in 3 hours...

Rite off the bat... its release quality and you should be sending it to labels as an idea of your skill level and ask for a remix deal....

CR1Tic replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
lol thanks man, ye i mainly produce hardcore, but currently my mate Nigel Neptune got speaking to Pete Martine in la mars bar in manchester, he said that he will send over some vocals to work with, so anyway Pete gave him a call from new york and said he's just recorded Samantha Fox's cover of Blondie - call me, and sent the vocals over, Nige then sat down and started working on a hard trance tune which i composed some melodies for, then i came home and some idiot was telling me that hardcore is easy to produce and trance is harder, so i kinda guess i proved him wrong :D

glad you like it thanks

on trial2 by benkofi
Hiya there dude,

Good melodies liking the flow of the track.

if i had to mention anything else i would say to shove a long tailed snare in there on the parts that would be the chorus and try and stay away from stock vst sounds. they tend to sound a little generic.

Good track tho dude, keep it up :)

on Dance with Me by Vizronics
Track is superb,

One of the hardest things to get in production is how to make a vocal shine and your music really does make the vocal shine and it all works really really well together.

The track changes enough to make sure it doesnt get stail at any point at all and your chord structure is bang on the money.

Really nice track.....

on Haters Feat Nepaul and LI by LordIzhaan
Dude.... this track is heavy... ReignNYC is rite about the sample being a lil loud but the track is really good man.

I think all you may need is something with a bit of an analog feel to it like PSP's vintage warmer on the master to make the vox gel a little better with the track cause they sound a little clean and independant at the mo..

Heavy track tho, dude, real real good...

on multitudes of silence (freakwincy d'n'b remix) by freakwincy
Nice track dude, loving all the elements you've put in there..

i would probly make the break down @ 1 min a little sparser, and just have some white noise in there instead for a build to the drop back into the track.

Keep up the good work fella...

on deep funky by smallpaul
Really liking the vibe on this... sounds like something ron carrol would sing over... really soulfull..
The only other thig i could add is the percussions at the beginning could maybe use a little less reverb or a low pass to take away the lower reflections altho saying that once the track gets going the reverb sits really really well and compliments the ambiance of the track...

on something in the air by smallpaul
Loved this track. Sounded like it deserved to be on a chill out album..

Did you programme the drum shuffle? or was it a loop either way it works perfect in the track.

The guitar break down was also superb and really helped the song take a perfectly timed twist.

The only thing i would probobly comment on is the Guitar sounded a little over/under streched. if it cant be replayed, i would probly recommend using the audio to midi feature in ableton 8. or maybe proppellerheads recycle and then triggering the sounds on your midi keyboard that way they are not time streched but played in time still.

This track could also sound superb as a Mr Scruff type remix..

Great stuff. AGAIN.....lol

on solar by smallpaul
Great work fella great sounds also. Abletons Operator?

The only thing i could maybe say is i would have loved to hear a big long breakdown at about 4 mins. from near complete silence to another big build and drop. but thats just me, and it works perfectly well without it :)
