sweet track. great start to my wednesday morning. someone probably mentioned - but usually I find that the track did update - just need to clear the history from the browser. As far as creative blocks go - I try not to think about what people might like (at least not initially) but rather what I am interested in creating at the moment. Later in the process I try to have the audience in mind because after all, music should move others, entertain. Peace.

Thanks midi! I was actually able to overcome the creative issues, thanks to everyone's great advice. The track eventually did update, just took an entire day to do so, which I'm still confused why it did so. The advice you gave is great, I totally agree. If you try to make music to please others, you'll never come up with anything good, as everyone taste and different and its impossible to please others.

Thanks for the amazing tips and for always stopping, much appreciated! Take care.

on Yog Sothoth Part One by Tinka0

you handle some pretty aggressive sounds very well. those can be tough to tame in a mix. you seem to understand very well the industrial color and style. the track creates a steamy brooding, sometimes foreboding mood. really nice work.

Tinka0 replied 24th Mar 2016 - 10 years ago

Thank you my friend :) I'll be honest I have no idea what I'm doing, never have haha..

on Forever and ever - Feat Lily und Wolf - Shamoozey by DrvanLansberg

i love when there is a male and female voice in a track. it immediately creates a dramatic aspect - a narrative. you create a beautiful rich texture with your sounds. nice work!

DrvanLansberg replied 21st Mar 2016 - 10 years ago

Thanks for your feedback Spark! I agree that male and female vocals could potentially enlarge each others presence. I have done that once before only however, since it can be quite difficult to find a good match. On the other track I combined Patricia Edwards and RarCharm. Hope to do some more in the near future.

Best, Doc

on The Void Reaper by Byleth

I like the cello and drums opening. interesting contrast. it is great how you bring in the synths later in the track and keep building. i like your writing a lot. i think there are still opportunities to refine the mix and clarify your different colors. great work. look forward to hearing more. Regards - Dan

Byleth replied 3rd May 2016 - 10 years ago

sorry dear Dan i forgot about your reply ....

Thanks for your feedback. For the mixing part was a pain I agree its could be better but its maybe out of my skills :(

Peace.

on Tree Forest by FroggyDJ

you started off with a very nice samba or bossa nova kind of dance feel - piano and drums. then you switched gears with more of an electro sound. I guess you are fusing a few different genres together so maybe "fusion"?? interesting sounds and ideas. regards - Dan

on Love and hate by Plague760

AMAZING MIX! the drums are crystal clear and fit very well inside your orchestra. I'm enjoying that oboe solo now, and now the flute. I loved this track and your work.

regards, Dan

on Celthyan - To the end of earth by cCelthyan

I like the richness of your sounds. arabian section is nice! cool solo instrument. for my taste - the drums could be less sometimes. regards - Dan

cCelthyan replied 19th Mar 2016 - 10 years ago

Hi!
Thanks for your post. It helps me a lot.
I don't know where I can turn down the sound of percussions but it is very difficult for me because I use a keyboard; so, I cannot do this as you can do on any other hardware.

Regards
Celthyan

on Hell-bent by DrunkSteep

I was feeling this. I understand it is a foundation. it is well mixed as such - sounds good achieves a suspenseful mood. Where do you want to go with it? Are you looking for melodic material over your foundation?

DrunkSteep replied 12th Apr 2016 - 10 years ago

Thanks for your answer. I made this melodic just for myself)
Actually I try make something of cinematic genre

on Jons Impro by bramnaus

beautiful contemplative theme and mood. I wonder if the piano is a little 'hot' in the mix. nice work. Dan

DanGoldstein 19th Mar 2016 00:16 - 10 years ago

on Did you believe it by cCelthyan

yes! that is a rich cello sound. I like the delicate pizz accompanying also. just a beautiful smooth ride, adding new colors along the way. nice work!

cCelthyan replied 19th Mar 2016 - 10 years ago

But, you can note some mistakes in the tempo, I didn't use a metronome to play it:). The end is maybe too strange for the rest of piece. I wanted to play something else to do something original and avoid some boredom.

Thanks.
Celthyan

I like how the strings emerge toward the outset. I like how you take everything down except your voice towards the end. beautiful song, voice. super work. congrats!

on Yours Within -ft NanuNanu by ValveDriver

that is a great effect at the end - the sustained voice against those hard synth hits. very effective. all the sounds blend into something very rich and exotic. it was quite a ride. def will listen to this again. Dan

ValveDriver replied 19th Feb 2017 - 9 years ago

Dan, a late reply is better than no reply at all, right? For this, I apologize.

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it.

Take care. V.

on Orion by toastedavalanche

you have a good control over voice and a nice tone. for my taste vocal could be a bit more in front of mix. I like all the sounds you choose. create a neat atmosphere in this song. nice work!

on Dont let me go by RemDee

lots of feeling in your track. I always imagined some dramatic moment of resolution or climax in a movie, sustained for a while by the music. nice work.

the minimalistic style creates a sense of mystery, anticipation. I feel a story, an adventure is about to unfold. Nice work.

Hey dan, yeah i almost always have a backstory for when im making songs, makes it easier to get creative. So its cool you pick up on that :)

the vocal harmonizing sounds great and mix is very slick! it is always fun to hear a new style - now I have heard South African pop style! very cool. glad to make the acquaintance of your music! best wishes! Dan

on faceless by denyjanuary

it is a very rich arrangement in the second section. reminds me a little of carmina burana. i think with a little work on the EQ you won't need to "hard limit" quite so much and the sounds will be sweeter. nice work. keep going! Dan

DanGoldstein 15th Mar 2016 00:13 - 10 years ago

on Yours Truly by defect77

i think you a nice beat going here. i love the little bit before the melody at 2:40. I think a little work on EQ will bring out all of your cool sounds more. nice work. keep going!

happy song. a beautiful feeling. i liked especially the sound of the drum at the opening and the effect on the sax (was it some delay?) nice work!

Musicante replied 15th Mar 2016 - 10 years ago

Many thank for your kind words, Midisparks. We all appreciate you comment.

Yes, the sax had a touch of delay and reverb.

Ciao,

You get an amazing amount of sound out of a mix. can only echo the comments of others that it is a thoroughly professional and enjoyable mix and deserves a spot in the clubs I'm sure. Best of luck with taking your work as far as you can!
