on Gettin There by djgraehulc
I dig the intro. That piano and the synths sound sick. The snare roll that brings the perc on sounds just a little off. I dig those glitch rolls within the perc though. Nice soft choir. This track has that emotional feel. Its different too, which I always dig.
I think it just needs to sound a bit more full you know? Like make that piano cry out a bit more. ad give that snare more BAM haha.
Solid track though. the outro fade can be a bit longer, kind of cut off too quick.
Keep grinding fam L=

on Total Of The Beat by Music4Life
Yeah man, Im feeling this intro. Gets you pumped for whats coming. The sounds all mix well. I like how you transition into everything. It sounds like your bouncing back and forth between ideas, like thoughts. I dig that the perc is unique. I think that at 140 it starts getting repetitive, so right there would be a great spot to throw in a breakdown.
Maybe single out the background synth and have the perc on a low bypass filter, then just slowly build that up and have the melodies come in one by one. should be like a 16 bar deal you know? make it hang there then just bring it alll back.
Solid work man, look forward to the finished vers.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I had multiple ideas when creating this. I had some unfinished tracks and some beats that I created and I just add them to this track. I can see what you mean by hearing it again. I will keep that in mind for my next tracks in the future, thanks again.

on code kni9htz by JulyThe7th
Whatup fam, this is a clean start. I read that you guys are going to add some main mels to this? thatd really add flavor. Some high piano man, make it fly over this you know? Maybe have a synth come in heavy too, nice n low. The perc is o point, fits the feel. I think the bass could be changed a bit, make it have a bit more bounce you know? just throw in a couple of double hits.
Let me know when you finish it up, Ill come scope it. see whatsup.

on Dead and Gone by HustlerbyNature
This is sick. Nice intro. The Mel is different, and i dig that glitch roll you threw in. The perc has that clean little PoP to it. Its nice and open for some one to get ill over. It builds up well too.
The mid song breakdown with that lead synth is ill. The next breakdown with the choir hits is twisted (in a good way)
-Sick n Solid-
Only ish I had would be length. The last 16 or so before the outro could probably be cut. But then again, thats really up to the vocalist.
Good stuff HBN. Keep baking these up!

on On the Wrex by Wrex
Wow, I dig that synth and Guitar right off the bat.
Whoaaaaa nice heavy guitar! NICE SYNTHS!!!
You my friend are skilled! I like the carnival feel behind this. It just moves around. Doesnt hang on to anything for too long and makes you miss it.
WOW that piano is sick. Back to awesome guitar. My head is spinning here @.@
Ok that dark twangy guitar is very nice, and again the heavy guitar really picks it all up.
Nice use of that siren.
Is that Irish styled bagpipes 0.0
Crazy low Saws, whoaaaaaa my man. You are seriously just showing off your talents aint ya? hahahaha
Only part that really threw me off is when you bring in those rapid loud HHs. I also think the ending is a bit lacking. Felt like I was on a ride and then it just stops on a dime.
Great track though, really now. Keep doing you! its awesome.

on Gotta move on by Gabz
Very different, nice slow dark feel. I like how it doesnt stick to one thing for too long, but at the same time, I felt like it had no structure you know? Then again, who cares lol
But in terms of getting vox over it, I think it might be difficult. Consider making it a bit more concise and defined.

Just a thought, I dig that xylo btw, very dark.
Keep grinding man, you can only get better. You and me are in the same boat haha

Gabz replied Unknown
Thank you very much for the review, appreciated a lot.

on Whats gone is gone by Alcraine
Nice feeling to it. I like how you throw in those string touches, adds a lot of flavor to the tracks. The piano is clean and your perc is on point. Only thing Id say is I think those shakes you have might be a bit to loud, but then again you said you forgot to lower the vol.? maybe thats why. I think whatd be sick is if right around 2:40 kind of took it all away except the piano and your strings, then use a LP filter FX so that it sounds really subdued, and then riseee it back to the main track.
Just a thought, I think itd leave room for a vocalist to really put something deep into it.
Great track, keep doing your thing.

on What Is Your Name Feat Tre P by J1K
Whatup J1. You know I've actually been listening to this one for a while now. My lady n I dig it a lot. Tre really gets off in this one. Your damn vox sampling is ill as always man, you always know how to rock that full sound.
keep grinding fam, you n tre going far, I know it.

on Introducing by Frankdidae
Whatsup man. Welcome to the loop. You made this beat? I dig it man, simple but bangs. Your voice has a grip of potential man. your raps are a bit in the growing stages Im guessin? You def have that south style down, but i think your delivery is def going to improve as you move on.
Third verse is my favorite of the 3, You came across clean in that one. Thats the kind of delivery Im talkin.
The last part, cut like one or two f those reps of the hook fam. Gets a bit too repetitive there feel me?
Good work man, biggest tip from me for the loop. Give reviews then you get em. Just remember the more interesting the rev you give the more youll get back. i can be an exception haha.
Peace

The worlds going to keep spinning, and you have to go with it. Cant stop, wont stop, get up and get going.
Thats what comes to my mind.

on Why Dont We by ImDangerous
Haha I think you keep the name of the track cuz you follow it in your lyrics man. Which is what the producer felt, and then it goes over to you haha. This track is very well done. Your vox fits the track well. The instrumental itself is very well made. Good work on both ends here.

on Acoustic JAM (beat) by DyeVerse
Yeah man. Has that smooth feel to it. Like cruzin down the street in my uncs drop top. I agree it can be a lil repetitive, but my OP is that most instrumentals are until they get vocals on em. In which Im thinking thats all this track needs and you have a very simple but fluid track all tied up.
DyeVerse
DyeVerse replied Unknown
dude i like the way you give reviews... very professional and thought out, so i know you listened :) btw thats why i laid out the beat so simply so it gives me the opportunity to be a little more on the creative when i finally lace it. beat provides the head bob, lyrics will be the main show

on it wasnt for me by veness
Pretty much everything Fayz said.
You know something simple that would clean this up is just that high hat ma, just get rid of that off triplet part. Let it ride out on 8s.
Again your voice is very beautiful. You have a grip of potential.

on Morning Glory by truegrit
Yeah, this is truly amazing. The sound quality is very good. IMO this could be in a movie or a game. ESPECIALLY a tactics game. Seriously, if youve ever played a game called Final Fantasy Tactics youll know exactly what I mean. This is quality music.
Truly very well made.
I enjoyed this piece!

On a very serious note. You may want to try and hit up Square Enix. I think theyd love to get their hands on something like this. I really do believe they would.

on In Debt to Boom Boom by DJMudDuk
That saw is pretty wicked. The perc just caught me off guard there haha. You know Im feeling like a gate synth should drop in too. That or some high up piano you know?
Nice break down, changes up the track nicely.
The thing i really dig about this track is how it uses repetitive trap beat techniques in a creative and thoughtful way.
Good work.

Thank you for the review. I appreciate all the thoughts on what to do and will experiment with the ideas here soon. If I update the track, i'll mention your insight.

on hey mista by veness
this is nice. Theres a lot of heart in it. Your voice is very beautiful. I think you should get someone to produce something just for this vox. I dig the feel of the instrumental, but I think your voice can be complimented better by something else.
Great track, I really enjoyed it.

on Breathe (smallpaul ft Farisha) by smallpaul
I dig this! has a nice vibe to it. Farishas vocals is used very well. The production is very good, has a nice flow to it. I dig the way the vox really cries out. However at 2:40-3:00 it felt a little unnecessary there. Like you repeated the previous breakdown you know? after that its back on track.
Its a good track. I enjoyed listening to it.

Once again bro. I keep coming back to this and it just sounds right.
The bpm for Regrowth is 120 lol. Im wondering whats going on bro? you kind of disappeared off the loop.

on Differences (Updated) by TheDreamMerchant
This has some flowww to it. Feels like a "take me back" type track. I agree though its a bit repetitive, could def use a hook. Even just something simple would really do a lot for this track. That and maybe some change ups every verse at the end of bar 8?
Just thoughts brother. I dug this. Keep on grinding.

on Pop Goes The Weasel (Cranked Up Remix) by Rhythmimic
Whoaaaa caught me off guard with that intro haha. Im digging this perc! nice reversin into that Mel! Ill little xylo mel.
That vox synth works very well, man, Im telling you that Xylo is SICK.
Nice lil grumbles there.
0.0 wow nice change ups man!
Alright now tell me this shouldnt just pause and then BuRST into a nice loud bumpin piece! Thats what Id like to hear anyways.
Anyways, I dig this, and if I could choose only one reason why itd be the innovator behind it. This really has some thought and interesting moves in it.
Great piece, I enjoyed it.

on Unwind Feat Tre P by J1K
Wow, J1 you pumped out another one. How long have you done this? The Hook is so chill. Tre goes hard on this. You guys on a track together is so ill.
The vox man...you really are skilled with vox samps. It really switches this track up nicely.
A fav here. Youre going places, both of you. if theres one thing I ask is that you stick with this. Because so many get twisted up when they start getting up there it seems. Stay true to your roots. Itd suck to see this dissapear.
