on into your hands(besides myselfbyneilvisher) by throughthevalley
I like the effort you put into the vocal track, very creative and raw, nice layering of the tracks. NV can put a rocker together and the vocals seem to fit the music.

Just a suggestion on the mix, go for clearity in the mixing of the track over volume. I think if you brought the volume down a bit, the individual tracks will have more dynamics and impact, right now they are all at 11 on the scale, fighting for who will be the loudest in the song. I had to turn the vol down to about 60% and lost the feel and impact of the song. Maybe check your compression levels too, if your mix is good you shouldn't have to add much compression. Hopefully you take this as constructive criticism as it was meant. :)

on Winter Ice Feat Lucky Feather by Luckyfeatherstudios
I think you did alright on this track. You need to keep working and working at it and things will keep improving, that rule applies to everyone including me. You have your own style and approach to lyrics, some people may criticise you but keep expanding and working on your style.

The music, vocals and mix were decent, you should be proud of what you've done here!!

Happy holidays, doughi boy!

on Nobodys Home by MariahSade
Nice voice, pretty song! I think you could have the vocals out front a little more or the piano back a little more in the mix. Not much though but I just wanted to hear your voice louder because is was just right!!

on I Was Made to Lose Control by clinthammerMUSIC
You certainly set a dark mood and tone with the music and at the same time made the vocals just as dark by adding the effects.

I like the idea, your wife has a great voice! I look forward to hearing what you do to this!

on Radiate Like Laser Rays by CalifKen
Nice mix, that's the first thing I noticed, sounds great. I like what you did with the vocals, extreme but still understandable. Liked the lead section of the song, the two instrument parts worked great together. Nice snappy beat, cool track K.

Wow, Allen V is so cool, he can play great and feel out a song and play the right thing all the time! I think this is nicely constructed and a catchy song, the flute was awesome!! Nice track Vicen!

Thank you very much. Actually, now every time I hear the song on my mp3, I only hear the guitar Allen. It's a gift what Allen did for this song. I'm glad you liked it. I also wish you happy holidays and a happy life.

on Besides Myself vox NealVisher by DeadPixel
Wow, this is raw, from the mix right down to the individual tracks. Crazy azz singing and loud guitars, that's what real good rock music should have. Well that's coming from an old school guy.

Gave this a few listens, pretty good intensity, the guitars really set the tone and sound great.

on The Chronicles of Lyra (opening begin movie) by rsmisch
Very nice composition, dramatic. It's very well thought out and cleaverly put together. Maybe lower the little compression just a little, sounds a bit hot. Cool track though, I enjoyed it!

on Hold Up Now - New Chillstep by DaddyLongLegs
It feels like 60' psychodellic music done with todays trance instruments. Great first effort and welcome to the loop! Sounds like the drums could come up a bit in the mix, just to give more impact and maybe widen them a bit so they fill more of the space. Interesting track though and I enjoyed it.

Wayne

Reply:

Ya, a bowl or four alway helps!!haha

What I meant by widening is that the drums sound like the drum instruments could be individually panned little wider. They are a bit I guess, just my own picky opinion, that's all, haha, no biggie!! Thanks for swinging by my site, cheers!

Yup, that sounds better!!!!!!

DaddyLongLegs replied Unknown
Hey thanks for listening and reviewing! And Hmm interesting feel you got from it, and I would have to agree that my songs sound much better after a bowl or too, haha. Anyways Thanks so much for the constructive criticism, I'll tweak the drums a bit, not exactly sure what you mean by widen them but I'll try to bring them more forward and a bit more pronounced.

Reply:

Haha always xD

And oh, thanks so much! Now I realize that I should be doing that in all my songs, haha. I worked on and reuploaded the track and made the drums and also some instruments a little "wider" and hopefully filled the gaps. Let me know if I'm on the right track, haha, Thanks again! Peace

on DJ-WaPer - Ballad Of Dying Sunset by WaPer
I liked the guitar riffs playing thru it. Nice song, thought the vocal choir pads were fitting. This really needs some vocals, I think that would complete this. Nice to see you mixing things up, this is different than some of the music I've listened to of yours. Keep up the great work Waper!!!

I've loved this song the first time I heard Marcy Plaground play it and you did an interesting remix. The vocals were great. Nice tempo change from the original. Creative track!

on Legacy Drive (SPC Jingle full) by DonnieVyros
Man, you come from the other side of the street with your musical thoughts, haha. I don't really think I could produce something like this, I just don't think this way, ha. It's very creative with a cool intro. Nice breaks and the intro and voice samples in the track worked nicely with this. Your synths are too cool. The arrangement is well thought out and interesting for sure.

I don't isten to much music like this but this was a treat!

Great job D!!

DonnieVyros
DonnieVyros replied Unknown
Naw mate. Nothing really radical needed for something like this. Just laid another idea (the new Tron movie) on top of the first one (class assignment). Try it with one of your own projects some time.
Meanwhile, the original theme (orchestral-breaks) stayed constant all throughout. In fact, the Tron thing came about via the intro vox I did months ago (dunno why I made 'em back then, but they sure came together with the film nod idea). So I just threw in a few more voc-sams in to act as sequence breaks. Which I was kinda iffy on (the overly deliberate breaks between), but I said whatev and ran with it. Glad ya dug it mate. Later on!

This is pretty good, the drums rocked!! Dnb is something I've been trying to listen to a little more. There are some cinematic aspects to this song and some nice changes. Lot's of energy, this got me going this morning, my first track of the day, I'm awake now. Thanks!

I like reggae that expresses the maker's personality and is different from other more mainstream reggae. Your track is different and was alright. Keep working it out, look forward to more tracks, keep going!

This has a Neil Young feel to it. I'm diggin' the harmonica lately, may have to get a few. Nice chord progressions and you played a great bass line. You need to sing, c'mon!

DFury replied Unknown
Sounds like a winner if you can give it thumbs up, much respect theHumps! I really enjoyed putting it together and go back every now and then to tweak... wish I knew the feature how look up loop creators before I renamed them and lost the sources, I consider this a Looperman collaboration for this reason. Take care - DF

on her ghost by throughthevalley
I liked the song idea, but I think things got a little loud on the change in the middle and through the end. Just a little level checking, a little hiss reduction maybe. The whole beginning part was very cool I thought. Mixing's tough, no one said it was easy, especially with live tracks. Be patient with it, it will get better as you go!!

on Everything is going to be alright by Mrbillionx
Very cool beat, rollerskating music from back in the 70's!! I like percussion so the congas caught my ear right away. Nicely put together, some good changes and really nice sounding production, not cluttered but plenty going on.

Maybe funk, i dunno, it's pretty funky.

Nicely done, there are some very cool effects on the music and vocal tracks and was a great listen to the end. Not usually my type of music but this was good enough to let ya know I liked it! I gave this a few listens, pop for sure, very good pop!

Nice vocals, so beautiful and emotional! Great piece, the piano was nice, dramatic and full of tension. Strings or a cello would sound nice to give a little low end but real nice the way it is. Look forward to more tracks!

Thanks so much for the suggestions and feedback. I'm a big fan of strings and stuff, but seeing as I don't play, it was hard to find a good match so i kept it simple. C:
