I seriously need to get into making some trance, that synth drives the track forward just perfectly! Every time i hear some trance, i just think about futuristic racing games like wipeout pure or kinetica. Even ol school games from square enix back in it's square soft days when they made alot of experimental games with great soundtracks like einhander or Ehrgeiz. But this is gold man, keep doing you! trances me out! peace!

Not exactly the same nor is this the same genre but that just caught my eye. This one is pretty solid. Seems that bassline was skipping however, that or the drums when it plays back. Look into that brudda, gets a little noticeable later on. keep working! peace out!

on B Lee by soundsforsoreeyes

woah you move fast, i was just about to check out your track before you posted a thread for it! haha see you just joined the site too, welcome man.

Alright to the track, digging the bass drum. knocks! Snare doesn't hit hard enough for me, i think the clap is a just the right level. The snare roll is a little weak, at least through headphones. The synths are solid, would of like the main beeping synth to go through some sort of effect however. Change the sound up a little. The other pad like synth is bomb though! nice. I also thought for some reason the bpm could of been maybe 2 or 3 bpms faster. Just a tad. Overall everything's mixed together pretty well. keep it up bra! peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

soundsforsoreeyes replied 15th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks for the welcome and the comments you posted.

I think that you are right on with the bpm. I thought the exact same thing and I know why. However when I tried it out it didn't have the same bounce so I ended up leaving it. It's an older beat but still a pretty good knock. Thanks for your feedback.

I did check out some of your tracks, I was impressed Chi-Town Native and that dubstep track were both pretty nasty. I see that Chicago is still cranking out the talent. Alot of versatility in your sound.

If you wanted to check out more of my stuff (since I can only download 1 track a day), I have newer beats here:

on Breathe by oasisduke

Listened to this earlier, i like it. Needs more of a finished element to it though. Basically just master it up and it should be knocking. still digging those sounds though. and i was looking through your profile, and it says you joined on here in 07! Funny, because i've actually been on here since 08 (my current profile isn't accurate) and i've never seen you around! Not on the forums or anything. Crazy! well nice to meet you then ha be seeing you around and keep doing ya thing. peace

oasisduke replied 12th Nov 2012 - 14 years ago

thanking you so much for the review and listen..it is much appreciated. i suppose i should put ion the description that this is just a demo, like i do with all the other demos. i never master demos...because im lazy..and because i now work with engineers that are much better at mixing than i am right now.
it does seem surreal that i have been here for over 5 years. i was much more active on the site before i began writing and recording my album. now that it is finished and i have another one to write, ive come home to my looperFam for inspirado and critique.
thanks again for the review. i look forward to hearing your work.

cheers!

lol, mc was good. i liked racing sims tho, gt2 taught me how to drive. still to this day, i always try to find the apex in a turn. and i actually drive an escudo, known in north america as the suzuki sidekick. its a terrible suv. would probably be better if it had a gigantic wing on the back of it. nah. thanks for the comments and the listen neo.

Nice to see your back man! been a longgggg time. I was on hiatus for a time on here as while. Just for a couple of months at the most. Hope your here to stay, at least for a little.

on A long time ago and still recovering by thyroid

I had a time where i was close to dying as well. a couple actually. Some times i was at a place where i contemplated about taking my own life. But that's in the past! And times have gotten better! But yea man digging the strings, definitely can feel the emotion in it and what you must have felt at the time. Whether it's in the past or still resonating with you in so fashion now. I can tell you put your heart into this. And this is truly a wondrous track. keep ya head up, and peace out!

Nice man, real nice. I'd agree with Rawhead, even thought that's not his username anymore! lol anyways, back to the music, ehem. Nice ambient touches here and there. Makes everything linger nicely and drifts you off to other worlds. Like chillout does fittingly. A smooth ear you have man. i can dig it. Just wish it was a tad louder though. And the bass could of been a little heavier in my opinion, to really "feel" it. but this is great man, keep it up! peace

on We Are by Cufool

Softsynths? no way. To be honest, many of your tracks sound like they've been processed thorough a SSL console board or maybe even something else! And the synths sound like actual SYNTHS. Although i can't give a valid comparison on that as i've yet to make my music with some top of the line gear.

I went to college for all this, and one thing i definitely got schooled on quick when i started was the TOP OF THE LINE PROFESSIONALISM. lol SSl here, Trident Board there, Soundproof room here, Live room there. More mics than the catalog and hardware, hardware, hardware. Specifically MANY effect process units. This literally is identical to any song on the radio in terms of quality. Do you not see the instant downloads your getting upon your initial upload dude? lol That "Her Eyes" track you "just" uploaded got like 30 something downloads already! And that's alot on this site! especially in a day!

So what is your secret???????????????!

Cufool replied 6th Nov 2012 - 14 years ago

Thanks again!
Alot of my sounds come from nexus or kontakt, both are samplers and have outstanding quality. Ive always wanted to try an actual synth, its just impossible to replicate a hardware sound.

Ive been taking tours of some music colleges lately and its just insane how much equipment is there. Id love to be able to get my hands on the equipment since I dont have much experience with the hardware side of production.

I just write music for the love of it, but im also critical of my work. I try to make each track better and incorporate new ideas from other artists that have influenced me. If it doesnt make me get up and dance, then it usually ends up in the trash, haha.
And for promotion of the track, id recommend uploading a loop or two from the track with a link back to the track, you will easily get 500+ people that will listen to your loop and see the link.

Thanks for the kind words, it really means alot!
The time has come for me to choose a field of study and career path; its reviews like this that make me want to take a daring leap into the music industry :)

on Gangsta Walk by SonicWarfare

Hm, yea i don't know how anybody hasn't said anything. I'm almost getting no bass response from my speakers, and i'm sure that wobble bass hits hard. I don't get alot of thump from the kick either. But what you could try is to bring the track into a mastering suite of some sort. Maybe Tracks 3 or Izotope's Ozone. Specifically with Ozone 4, it has it's own "dynamics" section. You could start with turning up some of the lower frequencies adjusting whatever parameters you see fit.

And it has a frequency analyzer built in, so if you have the stems you can see what "frequency" the bass and all the other low end instruments are responding the most. From there, it's just alot of tweaking. But if that doesn't build it up dynamic wise, it could be a totally different problem. And that's always the tricky part with audio, the "unknown problems." Mainly because you do so much in a project sometimes, you forgot what steps you've taken to progress you through the process. Might of been a issue that happened when you bounced the track down, all sorts of tedious work. But yea try that man. I would definitely look into Izotope Ozone 4. It's beasty. So is Tracks though.

Hmm, seems the drums(roll) is skipping. You might want to look into that, throws the track off a bit. As this being a genre your not "typical" i would advise taking your time with it to truly get it down pact. needs a bit more flavor for DnB. A awesome sub bass is one, and of course the drums. check that skipping brudda! peace
