on Be the First by JoneIsArt
Very nice song, nice and smooth, it's got a Dilla vibe to it, I'm liking it.
Maybe after the break just leave the bass on it's own so doesn't feel like the horns are constantly peefing in my right ear.
Also, I norticed a sample from 'Busta Rhymes - Touch it' song, I liked it :).
Keep up the good work.
P.S. The Picture you've got, maybe if you moved the side shot down and to the left slightly it wouldn't look as mushed together (just an opnion) but your mixes and songs are good :).

on Back When by MegaZoneEX
Hahaha, this is cute, nice song, loving the Godzilla sample in the background, seems like someone's been listening to Pharoe Monch.
3/5 Good work, keep it up, and get a good mic!

on HipHop Changes - Oldschool meets Hardcore Metal by abaex
I'm really, really only giving you my opinion of this track, it's hard to figure out where I am in this song, it's pretty messy at the moment, I like the sounds separately, but, some of the timing.
Keep trying though, try making songs without vocals for now just to try and tighten that side of production up, then move into the area with vocals that way, it will be easier to fit it in.
Anyway, overall It's not the worst track I've heard, well done :).

2.5/5 Well done, keep it up buddy. (I'm sure you'll satisfy a grumpy goof like me eventually)

on The Hood - mixed on headphones by aktolman
Very nice, can't wait for the properly mixed version, reminds me of noisia's first club banger tunes, keep up the good work man, nice Drum & Bass Roller :).
3/5 Just needs a little mix.

on Not Dead(instrumental) by RickMal
Your beats have a J Dilla texture to them with the heavy drums of Raekwon, really nice beats and nice samples you've used, keep it up loving your stuff.
5/5.

on Electro Horns by Apieceoftofu
I'm a bit confused as to where this dubstep vibe is coming from for other people, but this is 110% electro, very nice song I liked it, very nice, maybe if you had a subbier kick that would've been a bit nicer but other than that it's a really good song.
Plus Dubstep is usually halftime on a 140Bpm where is this is 4/4 on 120-130bpm
Apieceoftofu
Apieceoftofu replied Unknown
lol i have to concur... i produce both electro and dubstep and i respectfully disagree with the two previous posts... i dont hear it... but yea man thanx for your honesty and crtique. ill see if i can bust up that kick a notch. peace

on Adrenaline by GOLDMARCH
I'm 99.9% sure this should be in the breaks sections, other than that, it's a good track, you really need to watch your levels in this one, although it's all in level with each sound within the overall track, the Output for the song when you bounced it down must've been so high that's made the song quite distorted, if you turn down the levels a bit it should sharpen the whole mix up nicely and allow the synth to sound smoother.
Nice track though, I would class it as Techno, definitely ah Breaks tune.
4/5 apart from the overall mix well done :)

on Electro Funk by WhiteSands
I like it, nice regeatton meets a 80-90's dance vibe, nice song.
I like the guitar/Synth that you bring in around 1:40 it's possibly slightly too loud maybe if you brought that down just a bit it would set my critical habits at rest, other than that yeah nice work man.

on PEACE TO ALL LOOPERS by phantomhim
I like this song it's very good, thanks for uploading it, I'm looking forward to hearing the vocals.
I personally would put this in electro just because to me it's got a bit more of a Daft Punk feel, sorry for comparing your music but as reference that's the area it seems most suited too in my opinion.
Other than that well done, another good song 5/5 :)

P.S. It may or not be my cat, that is the mystery that keeps them guessing.

Wow, this so reminds of something I'd hear on Seabounds: When Black Beats Blue Album, this great I'm downloading it, 5/5 Great job, couldn't fault anything with :).

on MurdaKilla New Version by phantomhim
I have to take my hat off to you, even though a little bit of the mix needs doing, as song, it's worth putting out there, very Pendulum sound, but with your own twist to it, I like it a lot.
Well done 6/5 hahaha.

Soligen.

phantomhim replied Unknown
Nice one mate, In the orig description I said I was going for a Pendulum kind of sound, so that's good news man. It's only my first attempt at a dirty DnB track so I don't really have my own style of it yet. : )

Thanks for the review fam. Is that your cat in the pic by the way? Looks awesome.

on big chillin by rabnif
This doesn't need vocals.
It's really great, and yeah I use Logic 8 Pro, Logic 9 is too glitchy I would advise if you get either, get Logic 8 and wait till next year when the bugs are gone from Logic 9.
Keep it up with Garageband, I've been there, although none of your songs are in a genre I would produce, it's something I have worked on and I'm glad to say I'm liking the use of loops and the structure within the song, even Automation making me smile, I'll have to keep an eye on your productions, maybe collab once you get Logic.
The song is good 5/5 :) Well done.

on Bloodstream by Matteblak
I'm pretty sure this is 90% made of HMNN loops... but I'm not one to judge, the song is ok I like it, maybe you should mention people if you're using there loops I'd say.
It's good and negatives, I like the song but the mix does need a bit of work.
I'd give it 2/5 based on the mix.

Matteblak
Matteblak replied Unknown
Thanks for the review even if it is abit judgemental. Currently I am prducing tracks to get my music heard and they are only demo tracks. The mix to me isn't entirely important at the initial stage of production as long as the idea if being put across. Im not adjusting my mixes until I make my music commercialy available.
And only three samples have been used from HMNN but I thought the idea of this website was to be able to use people's samples and post tracks etc. maybe i'm wrong, but thanks for the feedback...every little helps :)

on Free pavone by lazyboy
I'm liking it, the bassline though, lower it down just a bit and cut the low end to about 30 - 50Hz, it's really clashing with that kick, other than that I look forward to hearing the finished version, it's sounding nice at the moment.
The Intro made me chuckle. 3/5 :)

on Wicked Game (the native american version) - Cover by minette
Hahaha, I'm surprised at the musical talent on Looperman, you've definately captured a beautiful feeling in this song, it's something that I'd gladly download if I could.
I'll have to keep in contact with you, possibly give you something to put vocals to (if you'd like to of course).
Overall 5/5 because this song isn't muddy, or distorted and is beautifully arranged :)
A lovely interpretation.

on PUBLIC ENEMY vocal perfect by phantomhim
Well, this is the best made track I've heard so far on Looperman, it's a great song it really is, I'm not into R&B or Hip Hop but I'm loving the guitar's and everything going on, you've got great vocals, I'll have to hit you up sometime and see if you can sing on any of my Drum & Bass tunes.
Definitely a 5/5 even though I agree there's minute tweaks to be made, keep it up and I'll be hearing you on the radio fella :)

High praise there mate, thank you for that.

Add it to your favs fam, I'll be posting a finished version and you'll be able to find it easier that way.

Thanks for the review anyway mate, really appreciated.

Let me know about those tracks. I've got a DnB one up here too actually, my first attempt at a dirty DnB track, came out OK in the end, just need to add Mcing and do the hook. Peace brother.

on lose your love by rabnif
This is a really good song, if you could turn her vocals up a tiny bit, turn his down *a tiny bit* and bring up that piano up a little just to level it all out nicely, other than that, this is such a good song, If you could just do those tiny changes this song would be really amazing, well done 4/5 for me.

on oNLY ME by Mommilynn
I like this song if I'm honest, I'm sorry that you've got a__holes in your life, you'll be glad to hear I'm not hating on you, keep up the good work, loving the piano by the way :).
If I can be critical I would suggest about 3 - 4 layers of your vocals to harmonise a bit more, easier said then done obviously but overall well done 3/5 :).

on Fleetin Thoughts by yeshintae
I'll be honest, the only things that I do not like are the snare and the hats, they're not sharp enough for me personally, other than that, it's mastered beautifully, the arrangement and sounds within that song are sonically beautiful and it's very very chilled, I like the panning and the sitar is fine, it fades away nicely and overall I'd give it 4/5 based on the Snare and Hat's, but that's just personal taste, I'm more into Drum & Bass. :)

I THANK YOU for your
EXCELLENT REVIEW!

what you said was the BEST
compliment that you could give!
At LEAST for a dnb listener anyways
^.^
I understand why you don't like the
snare and the hats, BUT in all reality
I was really FOCUSED on the mixing
and mastering work I'd put into this!

I am now compelled to follow your
EXCELLENT example of WHAT a review
should be around the Loop
^.^

Much Respect from LA

on Broken pad by HMNN
I have to agree with you HMNN, the mix is a bit off but headphones, they're liars, they're too accurate so I can see why the drums sound like they're under the bassline, I also agree with SIMKA, *a couple* not loads, but just a few sound effects would really spice the track up, and one more thing, get this track on other websites as well as this one, i.e Soundcloud, it's less restrictive than this one, but this website is great too.
Other than that, apart from the mix and a few effects that could be added, this one of the best songs on Looperman, too many other songs just sound tiney.
Keep up the good work, hopefully I can put up some good music soon :)
