on MB ft Stephanie Kay - Stars Collide by Bertolson
I like your arrangement of Stephanie's pella. It seems you sampled her voice also and used it creatively. Nice work. Big inspiration.

on Mortimus by crucethus
I agree this is a nice dancy track for a Halloween rave. I am digging the bit of vocal loop you just introduced around 3:14 and i appreciate this contrasting section from about 3:06 to 3:30. You wrap it up with your hard hitting kick which is perfect. Nice work.

Hey there.

yeah that vocal is sort of a pleasent moan or scream for the tune.
gotta get those ghouls up and about dancing ehh?
DanGoldstein
I appreciate the straight through intensity. This track keeps it simple and lets the rapping carry it in my view. Mix sounds great to me and I am sure it is party-ready. Congrats on your work. Dan

on Translucid by StaticNomad
I am curious about your approach to harmony in your compositions. I was able to fit a pentatonic scale to much of the opening section. Then I was fitting a major 7th chord in for several seconds. I am impressed with your incorporation of cello! Regards - Dan

StaticNomad replied 2nd Oct 2017 - 9 years ago
Haha - so am I! I don't really know what the hell I'm doing when it comes to harmony. I just about know the key I'm playing in and that's it.

I'm not sure where the major 7th chord comes in for "several seconds". Oh, actually I think I do. It's a long chord sequence and I think there's one chord I change to (towards the end) that's a bit of a surprise but very satisfying to my ears. That's probably the major 7th chord.

"I am impressed with your incorporation of cello!"

It's the main played instrument in my tracks these days. Hopefully they all sound a bit or a lot different.

Thanks for the thoughts.

on Dirty Trap Vol-1 by djnixx
You capture well the essence of the genre, if I understand the genre at all. I like the transparent, in your face quality of the mix. Look forward to hearing more of your work. Dan

Wow, thanks,
even I hadn't analyzed my song this deeply, Just started using flstudio so still learning. Gave up sports and gaming for studies so hoping I'll become a decent producer one day.

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it. I hope you will check out my other tracks as they come out as well. I am still looking for a vocalist to rerecord, but I'm glad that it's got potential. ^_^

on Doing A Thing Will by Spivkurl
Definitely tripping all the way through. I look separation of vocals on channels and effects. Love the synths
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 10th Oct 2017 - 8 years ago
Thanks my friend for taking a listen to something like this. I know a lot of people have trouble with longer songs, and a similar amount of people can't stand trance!

Happy that you liked the synths! Since the bass was kind of in two parts, it took me a while to get the modular tuned just right. It didn't help that I composed the bass part, and then right after that we had record heat. The analog oscillators are sensitive to temperature, so the scaling was totally different when I went back to commit it to audio. Turned out though.

The vocals were from varied sources, so it made sense to process them quite a bit differently. The field recordings were definitely the big challenge in this respect, since they were just made with a little pocket digital recorder... no fidelity, lots of background noise.

I'm glad it was a good listen! Thank you, and have a nice day!

on FlashBack by njaroo
I like the energy in your track. kick and percs very well mixed and the sounds are cool (especially the growly ones!)

I like the organization of your material also - very musical - waxing and waning but never giving up the intensity necessary to keep folks moving.

glad to be discovering your work. big inspiration.

on What Kinda Poison by Spivkurl
coming from an orchestral background, with all those old school values, I appreciate how uniquely different your work is from that school and my own style, but appreciate also the mastery and artistry that you have achieved in your style. I hope deejays continue to pick up your stuff and I hope there will be wider recognition for your stuff, and some bank as well.

I know this comment says nothing about the track, and if I "enjoyed" it or not. Your work is an inspiration to me. Your obvious dedication to continuing to grow artistically is obvious and an inspiration as well.

Bundle up my friend. Winter will jump upon us soon!

Regards - Dan
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 15th Sep 2017 - 9 years ago
Your words are not taken lightly my friend!

Technically, part of my background is orchestral, but I did not fit in with the idea of playing classical tunes and being chastised by teachers when I did something "wrong." My cellos were always borrowed from the school, since I was low income. I would love to have one again. I remember how satisfying it was playing pizzicato on the cello, or switching to the back of the bow. It is a lovely instrument.

I was hoping to do some internet radio DJ sets myself again, but the current state of FL Studio made it very difficult, so I set the idea aside for now. There recent additions of tempo automation are pretty much broken in my opinion, since they are based on the grid... Either the audio will stretch to a tempo, or the grid will - so either way, the results are not predictable. The clip will end in a totally different place than where it was when it began. Annoying!

Thank you for noticing my dedication... in all reality, my lack of dedication to music is mainly due to my dedication to many different aspirations. I could spend all day in the studio or practising instruments, but then my garden would wither, I would stop eating, I wouldn't know anything about native plants or fungus, I would stop adding to my blog, and I would have no time for local activism, and and and, well you get the idea. Even as it is, I have no time or energy for local friendships. :)

I honestly wish so much that I could bundle up! We have had many days around and above 31 degrees C in the past week, and today is supposed to be about the worst. We've had maybe .2 cm of rain the past several weeks. It's getting bad, especially with the wildfire smoke and ozone. There are air quality warnings today. I've been watering the garden before sunrise just for safety of myself and the plants.

Don't mean to complain, it's just forefront in my mind. One of those times where I stop believing that winter will come. At least we are getting a bumper crop of tomatoes!

But, don't worry - A song like this is not exactly meant for enjoyment in the conventional sense. It is simply self expression and carrying on the "work" of others. I should have a slightly more conventional tune finished soon.

Thanks for always being there to listen and give your support!

on i feel it by joell
I definitely feel this one. great punch and clarity on your kick. How do you get that? Like all your sounds and the creative organization keeps me interested all the way. I know you can find a cool way to end it. Maybe a little explosive burst that quick fades. great work. big inspiration. Dan

on MC Lan - Bolado Brisado - NOZEER Remix by DropMix
that sub bass sounds nice 0:45 secs in . vocals sound cool. all sounds nice but the subs especially. it is interesting to call this trance. Perhaps there are more sections and breaks than might be expected in trance. i'm no expert on genre anyway. I feel the hypnotic quality for sure, and a tribal quality. very musical, creative work. congrats.
