on Shadowless by crucethus
your response to AcidRn mentions a desire to surround us with the sound - I get this a lot here and dig it. And don't need to listen through the headphones for it. I would be curious to know why AcidRn thinks the mix might translate to the club system. For that matter, i would be interested to know what makes a mix work on the internet radio broadcasts. mine generally sound shallow.

my guess is that he thinks it sounds good in mono which club systems tend to sound like in reality. for me the mix must work on my stdio bose 2.5 speakers from 1985 first. then in my generic hyundai car speakers. then on my jbl-harmon karden surround sound system, then on my android-huwaei phone with cheap headphones, then on my wireless mono headphones. if it sounds good on all of those systems. the mix works IMHOP.
set up a varied system for yourself.

on Halloween Special by eggs0ntoast
you have a great feel for cinematic and creating a haunting ambience. the vocal clips speak of confusion, mental deterioration. excellent work on the sounds. the percussion groove is also very slick. fantastic work. FAV!

on haunting regrets by mindhiest
rich image-conjuring work. the arabic chant style of the vocal sets it on the backstreets of Cairo or even something scarier, like Alepo. Many stories could be told on this one. Great work mindhiest. Look forward to hearing more. Dan

on IceAge Raver - Halloween edition by SonnyChapelle
crazy effective into! i guess that constant hard hitting beat is the rave genre. it adds to the terror of the track. cool distorted quality to the track which creates that unstable, frightening feeling also. nice work

on Shift by swindla007
You are right. This one has gotta get you moving. I knew something was up when I saw that wave flatlining. This us a hardhitting, perfectly mixed beat. I killed by best friend. Damn! Scary ass.

Fantastic intro filled with so many awesome vocal clips and great transition into your main groove. the groove itself is popping! This would be great for a Halloween party at a club. Nice work Mosaic! BEWARE! Fav!

on Modnex - Darkness - Dark Limbo by Modnex
I like the groove you get going by :45 secs in. Very tense. Nice use of thunderstorm and rain effects. Really creating that suspenseful mood. Nice work.
Modnex
Modnex replied 27th Oct 2016 - 9 years ago
Thanks midisparks! I thought the thunderstorm might add to the overall atmosphere of the track, perhaps making the track more intense. I'm happy I was right on that note.

Thanks for always showing support,
always appreciated take care!

on NEVER by BatFoy
neat synth sound and the perc sounds compliment the synth well. very chilled out effect for me. nice listen.

on The Cure and Michael Jackson by SonnyChapelle
Nice reflective mood. I like the balance you get with piano and guitar and bass. For my taste the drums could be a bit gentler Dan
SonnyChapelle
SonnyChapelle replied 27th Oct 2016 - 9 years ago
Thanks Dan, i made loops of the original songs (cd), balancing the instruments is all The cure work :) Although i must say, making the loops and balancing them took me a while because i didn't change anything from the original songs.

on FiveCar SmileUp by Spivkurl
vocal clip is classic spivkurl angst and well mixed into the track. i heard from Alex (promenade) recently. He is experimenting a lot with MicroKorg. I thought about your unique sound creations, well evidenced here, when reviewing Alex's samples. All inpsiring me to journey out into less familiar soundscapes. Regards.
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 3rd Nov 2016 - 9 years ago
Thanks for stopping by to listen! The vocal clip was all live, but each track was recorded individually so that I could do a subtle final mix. I also just received a communication from Alex where he mentioned his microkorg... I do like that synth despite it's shortcomings. Been using it since 2002 or so, about the time it came out. I think it is still the only synth that I've ever purchased new. The DWGS waveforms (a'la DX7 and other FM synths) on it are a nice touch, which expand the vintage vibes and can give a reasonable organ sound. I'm happy that you enjoyed listening to this one! I am working hard to hone my live skills again, and hope to do more in this vein once I finish my new instrument build... you know me, I'm easily distracted by hands on stuff. Thanks buddy!

First off, the quality of your mix is fantastic. the richness of the sound in intro is real ear candy. Your effects are very cool and the drumming is also excellent. Great work. Fav!

the introduction is super engaging - both the use of dialogue and the eerie effects. Great drumming also. Nice work! Regards - Dan

on Final end Credits by SonnyChapelle
I am reading Edgar Alan Poe's 'Pit and the Pendulum' right now. There is a part where the guy is in the prison cellfeeling blindly around the perimeter of the cell trying to understand the space. This is the music for that scene! Nice job with the effects - especially that cymbal 'wash' if that is what it is. Regards - Dan
SonnyChapelle
SonnyChapelle replied 7th Oct 2016 - 9 years ago
Hello Dan.

Its a cymbal wash yes, it comes from the louder and more repetitive cymbal which to me is to loud but negotiable. I really like your Edgar A Poe reference, for some reason i got my hands on a audio cassette of "The Black Cat" when i was a kid, i don't remember the narrator though but i guess that's a part of the story.

on All Hallows Funk by crucethus
Hey, Cru. I'm digging this. What an idea - funky and spooky at the same time. that has got to be a first. i like that last section - it is an unexpected bit of darkness and effective.

I will go over to Wobbin's thread now and comment a little over there as well.

I have your email also and will respond to that. Have a thought which piece might be the fit.

on jazz of ethereal forest plus bonus track by promenade2239
nice atmospheric effects in this one Alex. Quite experimental in nature compared to the earlier tracks. Interesting to discover how your work has been evolving.

on 20GHz by lAVel
In my face from the beginning with the groove. Nice!

lots of drumming interest. great work on that

i am really inspired by your track to learn more about this genre. Is this your main genre or you switch off on different styles?

Regards - Dan

on Music of Drama by Darknives
your work is very musical. everything is interesting and well put together. love the vocal hits, love the change ups in sounds and moods.

yes - I am sure mastering will make it shine but it is definitely a jewel in the rough!

super cool track.

Fav!

on U Found Me Vocal mix by MGproduct
really an amazing fresh sound right out of the box. and I love having the vocal immediately at the beginning.

great when it gets dancy also.

At 1:25 might bring the volume up and find some way to maintain intensity even as you are 'bringing it down' for your next drop.

Nice work and I like your voice! Dan

on Brave New World by Nodog
such a fascinating monologue at the beginning - and how it repeats, more and more hypnotized - 'happy consumers, consumers . . .'

the beat itself is very solid and I love the synth solo. Nice work. Best of luck on further development.

Midisparks, brainwashing is prevalent now amongst terrorist groups Huxley saw it all coming which is both sad and terrifying at the same time. Thankyou for the kind words best regards. Robbie

on 13 42 by lAVel
Hmmm.. . 13,42 light years? I could take a few days off I guess! Would be worth it to fully appreciate this rich track you have created.

first section is beatifully patient - sticking with groove but adding elements like seasoning for interest

second section gives us bit of an experimental interlude before returning to original groove. Fantastic work. Big congrats and FAV!
