on Looperman Collab Jungle Segment by Blume by BlumeChoon
ez fella jungle don't run at 120bpm that's why its sounds over stretched out and bit crushed/destroyed.
it would sound a whole lot better at 168bpm give the tune a chance too roll out,
upload a 168bpm version please sir :)

What's up man...Yeah I know what you mean. Joyfulwave started the collab at 120bpm...BUt that was way too slow...So I bumped it up to 240bpm to make up the difference and still match with the original tune. But still sounded stretched out a bit. I still got this on file so I might make some adjustments and reupload at a faster tempo...Appreciate the review man...I'll be sure to stop by soon and check some more of your tunes out...Blume:)

on Fexor 75 by joncarr
ez jc m8,
is this a different mixdown to the version you sent me?
as the mix between kick n snare is a lot better in this version.
the one that you sent me the snare was way to big for the kick.
your production skills are getting much better sir.
peace

(if your going for a minimal approach, try using claps, rimshots, finger snaps, clicks, short stubby snares,
and not the over used pendusnare ish ishhhhh sound).

on Portinscale by miltonbanksy
m8 get some sennheiser hd 280 pro monitoring head phones and never look back :)
tunes has potential on the chilled vibe,
tempo is an issue here i feel tho 165-8bpm? id ramp it up to 172-74-76,
as i feel it drags itself about instead of rolling around.
levels are not bad for laptop speakers(how you can listen to stuff on them is beyond me, might as well use ipod headphones,
or even crappy desktop speakers would be better)
slightly over cooked levels(do you watch your daws mixer at all?)
but like i say m8,
get decent cans, it will be the second best buy you've ever made,
1st best buy has to be monitors tho.
peace bro

Thank you for the feedback. Constructive and very useful comments. Monitoring has to be the my main problem, so I am looking into this as a priority. It might have to be a whole new pc though as anything I plug into the headphones just churns out the demonic squeals and scrappings of, what I can only imagine are, the inner workings of my laptop :(

Cheers again, MiltonBansky.

on Bridgebeat by JiMH
very nice track m8,
tempo seems a little slow paced for this style of beat,
try something around the 176bpm mark, just to make the beat roll out a bit more.
you can still be quick tempo'd and chilled too.
ez :)

on Pure Insanity by StephenPotter
once again m8, really nice intro.
nice rolly beats on the drop(which needs the levels rasied or synth level lowered)
but a real lack of sub bass is an issue here,
i was expecting "whaohhh" when it dropped,
but all i got was "ahh man wheres the sub"
sort the levels out, sort the sub out,
then you'll have a nice tune here.
peace oot

on In paradise by StephenPotter
again nice intro m8.
the main synth line is overly loud and drowning out the rest of the tune,its nice just needs the levels sorting out on it.
is there a bassline for this? as its either too low or non exsistant.
mej
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
There is a bassline, but yeah it is kind of quiet, you can hear it just before the guitars come in.. If you try really hard to hear it :)

Thanks for the review!

on Sub-Dimensions by StephenPotter
ez m8, nice intro.
id bring the panned out hats in a little closer to the center,
kick duznt really kick at all.
interesting stuff tho.
StephenPotter
StephenPotter replied Unknown
Yeah, but like anomaly and rolagee said, I didn't spend enough time on this one, so I'll probably spend more on it next time :)

And the kick doesnt kick, your right, I messed up on the levels :)

Thanks for the review!
