on Dukes by Soletik
Agree with the others, the beat is pretty great in this. If computers chips could dance, they would use this to dance to. No problems on my side. keep it up. regards

on Moombah 4 Mama by edzwood
Pretty nice man. Like the main drum line and feel to it. Sounds a little slow though, feels like it's also missing something too....don't know what though. Synths start to lose it's luster after a while too...solid track. regards. peace

Thanks Neo Yeh I was concerned the synths might be too redundant. The tempo however is 110 which is Moombahton. It's kind of slowed down techno reggaeton beat
Peace

on Dec - Fauna by Decnet
Hey man this is really creative. Like the vibe i'm getting from it. Arrangement is pretty good, the only thing that weighed it down was the unbalance of the mix. At times it's at a nice level and weighed out but then peaks every so often. Every one of the sounds blend with each other very well i thought too. But otherwise great track here. peace

on Stargazing by StephenPotter
Nice comeback track here ste. Dig the guitar mixed in with the bongos. Goes together very well with other sounds too. Tad too short though, definitely could grow into something more. Good chill out stuff here. peace!

on sniping in Central Asia by DanGoldstein
We seem to have similar interests when it comes to music. I actually want to have my own rpg game created with me composing the whole soundtrack one day. Kind of like most of my fav top composers of vgm or film music. Many favorites of mine are actually foreign. Such as Nobuo Uematsu(final fantasy composer) Yoshitaka Hirota, Nobuyoshi Sano, and many more names i cannot pronounce lol but their work is undeniable. But of course i still love many american based composer such as Hans Zimmer, Bruce Faulconer(DBZ), Martin O' Donnell etc.

And i agree with the others, you have the concepts down, it would just be nice to have full tracks. And from what i know really about VGM, the songs do not have to be "that" long. As they are most of the time tailored to specific scenes in games or movies and will play for maybe 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Sometimes longer, but that's usually credits and intros and stuff like that. How do i know this? Just alot of gaming and movie watching lol ALOT. great initiatives here man. peace

on Purple Piffing by OmegaFlame
Definitely a blaze up feeling track, hence the name i assume. haha and that padding mixed with the watery sounds and whistling hypno type of synth is really nice together. And i feel you on the ban thing man, i was banned maybe about 3 times on here for speaking my mind and what not. Sometimes, people on here are over sensitive and hypocritical. Not everyone, there's cool peeps on here no doubt though. But yea this is just the type of track i needed to hear on another late night in 1am. Except no bud....lol dope ish. peace out!

Yo, so i got the soundtrack. sick ish, already hear about 5 or so tracks i can use to sample from haha and yea, i thought you was the same dude..i still got the bad luck beat of yours, i was going to spit something on it but never did. Still listen to it though. Alright then though i'll stop commenting on your track here, was just letting you know i got the soundtrack in the dropbox! peace out!

on Over The Line by edzwood
Very dark like glitchy intro so far...the padding reminds me a bit of metroid prime..that wobble bass is solid, could be a little more defined in my opinion but this is all preference and what your going for. Very dark though, not bad arrangement either. Good stuff here Edz, i can dig it. peace out!

on Mean Sleepers by NtaT
Hm not bad, dubstep mixed with a lil trap. The hi hats and snare rolls are lil all over the place for me. Could be a little less frantic. But its still sequenced nicely. When i think trap however, as in trap beats. Lex Luger always come to mind, ONE of his best.

I like this though man, i can dig it. Keep it up. peace out!

on there is a place by sn76
Nice minimalistic DnB track you got here sn76. Dig the padding and synths, compressed down pretty nicely me thinks too. I feel like it's missing some things though, all in all though this is still nice. simple and sweet. Makes me feel like there really is a place....lol at least better than where I'm at. digs it! peace out!

Eshar! How have you've been? Haven't seen you in a while on here. Digging this one. That guitar sounds extra crispy, and the acoustic bass only compliments it more. Funky tune you got here. i can dig it. nice to see you back! peace!

on Sinatra Spit by rowdyman
I thought of a "Samurai Champloo" vibe right away when the beat played haha that anime is sick. Something sounds a lil weird with the stereo imaging though...might just be because i'm listening through headphones. But this is dope,pretty nice vocals too man, keep it up! peace out!

on Why Do Ya Hide FT Stephanie Kay by brillbilly
Man...i really gotta collab more often with some of you guys on here. Haven't done that in a while. But this sounds pretty good through the headphones bra, ambient with a ethereal electronic touch. This is perfect for this 1AM midwest winter over in chicago, cold as hell over here though lol Sweet vocals from Stephanie as well, digging it brill! keep it up! peace

Because even when i log off i still check on the site looking at the forums and "if" someone commented on a track of mines lol But digging this man, like the scratching you did on this mixed with the vocals samples. Sounds pretty dope through my headphones too. Be seeing you around bra, keep the chill vibes up. and stay blazing, which i'm sure you do with music like this lol peace!

on Were Unmatched -StatusL3gendary2 track by theCaleb
Agree with the others, this track is in need of some fine compression execution. Maybe a multi-compressor...but i dunno what type of DAW you use. If you use reason, it's standard compressor should be fitting for the job..as far as any other DAWs download some good plugins. I can't really give too many specific ones, as i'm still searching for a great set of plugins that work for me and my work flow. But i would just start with searching for some "freeware" vst plugins. And if you use a mac, plugins for that is actually "audio unit plugins." I dunno why it's different, i just recently figured that out. Or even RTAS plugins.

And as far the kick drum, and even the vocals the compression settings could be as follows. a 2:1 ratio to maybe a little below 4:1. A slow (or) fast threshold, it really depends what sounds alright to you. Usually a fast threshold is good for tracks like these with a jumping bass kick like that. Make sure to leave a bit of head room on the output gain, so crank it down maybe a -0.3 decibels. That should usually work, as it will keep sounds from peaking or distorting. And with nice compression to smooth things out, you can add a limiter to turn things back up without it peaking. Then you could EQ or whatever you feel is necessary to fine tune and polish your track up. Hope that helps brudda. peace out!

on 37 nos by oasisduke
Interesting work so far..i like the choir and ambient sounding glockenspiel type of synth. i dunno how to describe that one..but yea i dunno if this is the finished product for you, but i await the final version. I think i'ma take a break on this music tip, i've gotten so caught up in my unemployment situation i really don't want to focus on anything else. And it's a shame because i really don't want to focus on money like it's the most important thing in the world, but unfortunately it kind of is...to survive at least..money is firmly on my money right now. I'll be seeing you around. peace out.

ugh...i fell ya, brother. money is certainly on my 'money', too ;)
i think we just have to k.o.k.o., you know? everything will work out.
im not sure if im done with this one. i took down the bass a bit, and now im regretting it. i also had lyrics to this that i might fit...dunno...
either way, thanking you for the listen and review.
