Sweetness! Love the feel of this track from the first note. The flute was creatively put to use here and has a very cool undertone to the song. There is a slight Latin feel to this and I like that. The use of percussion is fantastic and the arrangement and flow to the song is just great. Wonderful composition my friend. Amazed as always!
Complex track. Love all that you did here. Can't give you technical genre help cuz I know nothing of electronic music but the sounds, loops, samples and everything else gelled seamlessly. Felt like this track went on for days, lol, mean that in a good way. Long interesting tracks are long and interesting. Th emix and overall sound sound of the track is the first thing I noticed, great quality.
Thanks. I've been watching a lot of on line tutorials and picking up tips here and there so hopefully my mixes will be improving as i progress. Thanks for dropping in and leaving your thoughts.

First, best of luck with any battles you are fighting.
The song is cool, I could hear David Byrne singing on this one. The bass stands out, carries the rhythm. Drums sound pretty good as well. I like all the space here. makes the little things stand out more. The vocal sample, yeah, has some cool effects on it and is a catchy hook. Very well done Spiv, reaching new heights with this one. fav and a dl, thanks!
Thank you Wayne for sending good vibes! I have generally always looked up to David Byrne, so it made me excited to read that! Definitely wanted the bass to be potent, but not to the point where you couldn't hear anything else. As far as the drums go, it's tough... I'm not used to drums in loop form (at least not strictly) and when they are already mixed up it's a little harder to control certain aspects without effecting others. I did the effect chain on the vocal part a couple months ago when the challenge got going I think and didn't really change it. Thought it had a very dynamic effect this way. You've again made my day! Thanks for the listen and fave!
The female vocal track is great, wonderful voice and works well with the music. The music is stellar, pretty cool dubstep track. The bass rips and there is so many cool sounds and effects that pop up and keep the song so interesting to listen to. Definitely liked the ending. Dubstep isn't my usual listening genre but this really is a trip!
Yeah agree with the vocals ;) Loved them so had to put them in somewhere haha
Also this one is indeed crammed with fx, rises etc but I think it is part of keeping the whole thing interesting and I am glad I got that feeling over to more people.
Thanks for giving this a listen and a comment wayne ;)
I am glad you posted this as I am ready for the World Cup to begin. Can't say much in the way of technical help as this upbeat electronic music isn't what I usually do but it's upbeat, fun and packed with energy. It has a very international feel. Liked the honky tonk piano to start with and the game clip must sit in the hearts of all Aussies.
Hey Richie! Glad to see you around these parts again and to hear that the work is almost done at the house, that must be a relief. I remember this one when it came out but can't recall who did it. I haven't heard the version you mentioned that this one is styled after so I can give you a pretty unbiased review.
This is very laid back and simplified as far as the music goes, maybe even r n b in a way. When it started I gad no idea what song it was, the piano run at the beginning was a nice touch. Pauline has a beautiful and clean sounding voice, love her rendition.
Mix is fantastic, like where you put the vocals, maybe lead and fills could be a little louder, I mean if you got got it flaunt it, lol. The tracks sounds great, totally love this chilled version.
Yes, almost two years with a paintbrush in my hand! It's nearly there so I'm getting a bit more time in the studio now. Should be back to producing music on a regular basis soon.
Thanks for the positive comments and your thoughts on the mix and my guitar parts. I mentioned in an earlier response (see djkillapaul's comments above) how subjective and personal a mix is and I do appreciate your thoughts on having the guitar fills a bit further forward. For me it sits nicely without overpowering and I guess my overall approach is very much "less is more". Anyway, good to hear from you and I hope all is well. I'm sure we will catch up again sometime soon.
Is this the same song you sent me? Wow, what a difference, like it a lot. My feedback probably was not very good, still not over my cold. But what Spiv and Bear have done to assist you here is pretty cool, gives the song a whole new depth and dimension that the original lacked but I never realized it until I heard this version(if that makes any sense).
Had to give this a few listens. Liked the reversed cymbals, seems to work as a nice effect. The vocals are sweet, she has a nice voice and the lyrics are cool. And of course the acoustic guitar is my favorite part!!
Your first collab is certainly a success my friend, a great track for sure, one of my favs by you(and spiv and bear).
Thank you for the review, yep same track but you listened too the way earlier edition lol, had some extra work and extra's add to get to where it is now, made possible by our good friends here Pat and Bear, without their help would not even maybe have been finished, so big thumbs up to those guys, yes reverse cymbals, a trick used in trance stuff for transitions, so thought would work in this one, to help with tran's, Over moon you enjoyed this one my friend...Thank you for the fav too...Peace n much Respect...Mosaic...
Figured I would stop by and give a few of your tracks a listen. I liked the effects on the kick drum, sounds a bit like some delay was added. I thought the beat could have had a few more fills in it to make it a bit more interesting in places. It sounds like early pop/synth music from the 80's.
I had a hard time at points making out the vocals, maybe you could post the lyrics to help us hard of hearing people, ;) I love percussion so the bongos worked for me. OK song overall, felt a cool change somewhere in there would be helpful in breaking the song up a bit and adding a little interest. Hopes this helps!
Lol another first track lol and honestly cant remember the lyrics but i know there was a method to my madness with this one , but i have completely forgotten.Again thank you
Cool track, catchy chord progressions and nice layering of the instruments. This would certainly work at any club, I think it would get people up and dancing.
I can hear the Weather Report especially the intro, plus I love Jaco P!! Fusion Jazz certainly isn't an easy genre to play or just wrap your head around but I must say this is pretty cool indeed. Loved the muted horn, I used to have a horn player in my old band and I used to love when he would use the plumbers helper to mute the trumpet, lol.
Way to go guys, sounds awesome, great composition.
Thanks allot, Wayne. Glad you like it. Right-O...Jaco is the man! I love the story when Jaco went up to Joe Zawinul after a Weather Report concert and told him he was the greatest bass player in the world and Joe told him to get the fu#k outta here! He hired him shortly afterwards. He had some balls, but could back it up.
How do we have peace on Earth? Good question and I'm sure many ideas as to how we could achieve it. First we need to make everyone in the whole world listen to this track, then listen to each other. Cool concept type song with a good point. The drums were pretty cool, not too much in your face like some dnb tracks are. It gives the track some space and allows the nice pads, vocal sample and sounds you picked to come through in places. Like it, well done on the mix, nice job mixing in the vox and a cool vibe overall.
Hope all is going great in the land down under, take care my friend!
Friend thank you for the review and kind words, hey if made everyone in the world listen this track, might have opposite affect lol, Please you enjoyed Wayne and thanks for fav mate...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
Cool track, great intensity. Reminds me a bit of that old surf rock like Dick Dale but with a bigger guitar sound. Great production, mix sounds clear and spacious. In some ways it reminds me of classic punk with it's guitar attack and drive. Any way you slice it, it sounds great!
I like the sound of the kick drum, it has a big sound. Are you mic'ing an amp or plugged straight into your interface through your pedal? I find if you can record the git through a mic'ed amp, it can give the guitar a much more roomier sound.
Cool enough track, wish you sang or collabed and got some vox on this one, would be interesting to hear.
I plug directly to my computer but its a little personal overdrive/distortion thing I plug into guitar and then from that to the computer.The output from the overdrive thing is actually the head phones jack. I dnt really have a part of the house that i can isolate from ambient sound and random sounds like dogs or family or cars n trucks but ive been tempted to dig a damn basement lol
I remember being in college and music like this being out. I was into punk at that time but this reminds me of Thompson Twins and early Ministry. Production sounds clear and you used some classic sounds, well done!
Others have mentioned it about using notes that aren't in the key of the song. It certainly gives it an interesting bit of tension whereas the song is relatively happy and upbeat sounding. It seems to work though and like Bear said, you are only 11 years old, pretty impressive work. I'm sure you could spice it up a bit more here and there but it sounds good as is. Well done RPS!
I hadn't heard of the word seplicate so I looked it up on the dictionary app and it couldn't find the word. So you are creating new words to match your unique style of music, that's cool, lol.
I am not up on all the genre differences when it comes to electronic music so it sounds like another cool Spivkurl track that is a bit more subdued than some of your recent tracks. A little more relaxed approach to the vocals and they do sound good.
Well done my friend, enjoyed the track quite a bit!
Hey friend! Thanks for taking a listen! Yep, I couldn't find the word either, so I assume it's new. Pretty much defined within the song, but I don't know if it's clear. Kind of a dual meaning so far, firstly the saving and distrubution of genetic material through cloning or seperating parts of things (like suckers or root stock), secondly the free distribution of ideas and creations with the intention of molding the future with focus. I was trying to be a little more mellow with this track, especially on the vocals. It was giving me lots of CPU and software troubles while mixing, so we'll see how the next version ends up. Appreciate you leaving a comment!
This is cool, the vocals and the music go together like peas and carrots. Didn't know of JacVanBee before this track, have to check her stuff out. I like this kind of alt type rock, reminds me of a band called Tribe who I liked. Well done to both of you!
This is not my usual listening genre but when I clicked play and listened I found myself drawn in. "Dreamy" is definitely achieved here. I agree with FR about the kick, I think it could be a bit louder. Very nice track, enjoyed listening!
Listening with headphones this morning. I thought the first part was exceptional, loved the vocals, mysterious, haunting. I've never heard of that synth, how is it? Is that the synth doing the arpeggios? Over 10 minutes and the quality still sounds good, is it a 128 kbps?
The transitions are nice and the parts all tie together well. The second half has a different sound and feel compared to the first half but it all seems to come together well.
Yeah the synth is really good, it's just the user that sucks lol. I'm sure it can do a lot more than i've been doing with it (In fact i know it can because i've watched the demo)
Everything i record at the highest bit rate, then i run it through audacity which cuts the file size but somehow manages to keep the quality good. I forget now who told me about that but it's come in real handy.
Glad you could drop in and comment.
Wow, very nice production, the intro was fantastic. Ozzi Osbourne like effects on the vocals, big and spacious, they fit the music nicely. The production is BIG sounding. Great track!
As I've no software, audiotool is the best thing happened to me on the internet! :)
Thank you, I remember your remix too, was really well done.
