cool man, dig the words and delivery. defy the program, defy the code - I try to do that with my own programming but its hard lol. Maybe it's easier for a machine.

Man, your stuff is always different. That's what makes it so enjoyable and interesting for me. Keep at it and I'll be listening.

Thank you, comments like this keep me creating.

on Psycho Doctor Transis by davefolk

Very cool track. Love the vibe. Like the buried vox and sound effects. Guitars are awesome. Great to hear that good rock is as alive and kicking.

on Zivon - Airborne by Zivonmusic

Beautiful, dreamy ambience. You got me with this one, but then I'm a sucker for good ambient music. Great stuff, thoroughly enjoyed. Zoot.

on The next big thing by WatayaandBobo

Well I can certainly agree with the sentiment. Faved on that basis alone lol. But I like the track too. Bit like being hit over the head with a brick. To the point. Nice work!

WatayaandBobo replied 18th Jan 2024 - 2 years ago

Hey Buddy - just increased the vox at 128 as it dipped and increased 3 of backing track volumes very slightly at 137ish (still dips but not as much as the first 'last' mix). I can hear the difference if you want to compare to the original download

on delorean by xstokes

Funny, sounds more like the 80s to me. It's too short:)

xstokes replied 24th Jan 2024 - 2 years ago

i’d put it out there about the same time edgar winter released frankenstein and ohio players funky worm was in the air.

on ANTARCTICA - Second Nature by secondnature1

I have a real love of minimalist ambient and this is a great example. Delicate. Sparse but engaging all the way, nice mix of elements. I did a drone thing myself the other day called composition 7. Lovely listen before I go to sleep, thank you.

on Back and forth by Shaman77

Hypnotic my friend. Excellent. Lyrics sound bitter. I would only suggest your voice could be a little louder in the mix.

Shaman77 replied 15th Jan 2024 - 2 years ago

Thanks, I haven't found harmony in music and vocals yet, I'll work on it.

on The Robots Sing by Kirkoid

Must have missed this one previously. Very cool and great concept. Definitely got SciFi vibe going on. Yep, I think it needs some totally wild screaming synth somewhere along the line. Well done bro.

Zootman 5th Jan 2024 09:46 - 2 years ago

on where you are you never will know by rockoff

I always check out what you post. I enjoy the raw punk attitude you seem to convey. I enjoyed this too. I think you should keep at it, improve the mix a little. But still liked it as is.

on Track616 by TheBride

Beautiful and totally arresting in it's apparent simplicity. Loved the processing on the vox. I knew from the wave form this would be something different and cool! Keys at the end are worth waiting for. Somehow I knew they had to be coming... Great stuff for me.

TheBride replied 6th Jan 2024 - 2 years ago

Thank you so much, this made my day for sure. Getting better at my mixes is one of my goals

on Handle by Danke

I recognised the first guitar part straight off but then the vocal came in. Works really well. I wish I could hear the lyrics better, I caught the part about killing my boy friend, in that very angelic voice too lol. Hope you have a great New year.

Danke replied 31st Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Thanx a lot bro.

YEAH, donno what dialect does this singer come from???
Donno nothing about her, cause this was a loop from another site.
Happy New Year brother!!!
Fistbump,
Danke

on MISS3D by 3CL3CTIC

I liked this from the first chord. Had several listens. I like the lightness of it. Kind of thoughtful too but with a sense of fun. Very good wee journey you took me on. But now I'm trying to work out who your other persona is!!

3CL3CTIC replied 29th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Thank you! I appreciate that feedback very much. As for the other persona, it's not as important because it's mainly just a creative outlet, I'm not like a popular artist at all lol. But thank you for you feedback, and have a Happy New Year!

Zootman 29th Dec 2023 04:25 - 2 years ago

on Look what youve done to me by pseudoble

Yo Ian, 5 minutes well spent in my opinion. Lush, immersive and dreamy, mix sounds great. Happy new year to you!

on The Vein by pseudoble

Excellent. Love the laid back loose limbed feel of it. Guitars are awesome.

pseudoble replied 24th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Thanks Chris - yeah there's my guitar and I think 2 small samples of guitar as well. It came up a lot with the addition of the vocals - I was surprised they made that big a difference

on Speed Xmas NoTimeAtAllSong by joecramer

Ah yes, I believe you are a man after my own heart with regards to things Christmas. Very punk and very good fun. Quite a contrast to verdigos track lol.

joecramer replied 12th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Thanks a lot Zootman for your nice comment. Fun is the key!
And it is sure good to know that people can enjoy a 25 years old little punky track even in 2023.

!! Free the Christmas songs !!

I wish you and your "family" a nice and FUNNY x-mas
stay tuned
joe

Damn this is a beautiful and angelic listen first thing in the morning. Really like the drums, bass lines are great. Love the restraint and empty spaces. perfection in my book. Thanks for the upload.

on Everything is Wonderful by Chasmchaser

This was a great listen for me. Your guitars are sounding really good, I liked the flow of the composition. Semi ambient really, which I always enjoy. Nice reflective track.

Thank you Zootman. It's always a pleasure hearing from you.

Love is indeed still the best, without it there is nothing. Emotive and simply beautiful. This is outstanding, well done both of you.

This is awesome bro, one of my favs from you. You picked a great track, and the words and performance are unreal good.

JohnSmokey replied 3rd Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

A little Amy Winehouse type beat. She's great! Thank you for posting a comment glad you could enjoy it. I had fun making this one.

on search by xstokes

Aptly titled and described. Beautiful with some great seamless transitions. Did you ever see the movie Touching the Void? Worth a watch, though the book is better.

xstokes replied 3rd Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

hey there Chris! i saw the movie in the hazy vhs years, some images remain and i always coveted the title. glad you brought that up, i’ll watch for the book in my used shops.
BaoBou was a catalyst in getting to the mix you heard, he had me reimagining the first half with his gtr added, it learned me something i hope! cheers, brother!

on ten piece take 1 by bringerofDOOM

Love the intricate, finely enmeshed arrangement. Hints of dissonance make it poised on the edge of darkness. Great track for me.

on falling stars by xstokes

Beautiful, ambient melancholia. This has a gentleness to it, not savage as these experimental pieces of yours sometimes are.

xstokes replied 16th Nov 2023 - 2 years ago

i’m glad it didn’t tip too far into the shambolic, i really tried cleaning up the act on this! cheers, Chris!
