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 - 13 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.

SonicWarfare replied 6th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks for the advice and input. I will try that.

on Beat number 2594 by the47

If this is really your 2594th beat then hell, you must have one heap of a hard drive brudda! lol i'm sure it's just a title...but sick man. Digging the variation in this, you keep i flowing and grinding. easy to flow on. keep it going bra! peace

thanks, i have around 2700 projects from the last 9 years, but most never make it to becoming songs and the titles are random :)

on corona by JeffBock

My man Jeff! #####?? No ##### comments?? Your ##### me...haha Digs the intro. The ambient breathes with that occasional guitar has a very smooth mix to it. Like the break, this almost like some liquid DnB. Very chill man. i like it. keep it coming, and keep it rolling! peace

on 69 khz by oreokoookizz

Eh, i've been bamboozled! There's no bass in here at all!...Well a little, that kick perhaps? hm, nonetheless, a pretty chill track. not bad. peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

oreokoookizz replied 6th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Hence the name 69 Khz.. its the kind of bass that you feel more than hear.... u need good subwoofers.... i appreciate the feedback tho.... and perhaps i was erroneous w/ the description... sorry

GramoChopin 6th Nov 2012 02:08 - 13 years ago

on Inlomeda - Unstable by LoopnFLlover

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

Neobane/InPSYcLe

LoopnFLlover replied 6th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

That's what I get for not quality checking on export. I hear it now that you pointed it out. Your feedback was helpful. I appreciate your review.

on Gangsta Walk by SonicWarfare

Clear as day but sounds like the dynamics are squashed to heck! sick loops used though. a great combination. keep it up. peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

SonicWarfare replied 6th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

How does one fixed squashed dynamics? I want it to be perfect!

on Path To Meditation by Dreagoen

Nice, more chill step in a sense. The drop came to really slow....so it made it feel chill. hmmm i dunno lol but nice wobble in this, sound like it's drunk or something. go home "wobble bass, your drunk! " lol nice track. keep it up. peace

on The Fall by Alchemystic

I can dig it man. Definitely no stranger to experimenting myself. I have a HUGE collection of experimental tracks, some weird, some solid, some flat out crazy haha But it's all about the sound...at least for me. I like this, especially the acoustic bass, smoooooth. lol There a whistle in there?? ha! peace man, and keep experimenting.

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Alchemystic replied 6th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks for giving a listen man! yes, that's me whistling on the track..lol!! I really a songwriter/artist but i do a track now an then i can really sing to. Maybe ill ge good enough with the sounds and editing to go beyond the fun and make a career move hehe!

GramoChopin 6th Nov 2012 01:53 - 13 years ago

on Intake by Realmz

I like the synths in this, the guitar sounds a bit off, not that much, just a lil. maybe i'm just bugging. But yea i dig the vibe on this, it's real chill laidback and open. Don't be afraid to try different things though, adding unusual sounds and just really innovating! Do you though bra. peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Realmz replied 6th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

on Wanna Be In Love by FullCapicityMuzic

Haven't listened to none your stuff for quite a bit, your singing has always been on point. So decided to check your most recent, translation= the track on the very top of your profile. lol but yea this is great, you've belched it out plenty, keep doing you. peace

on Zombie by ReignStorms

Ha good ol acid loops. always does the trick. You'll grow out of em soon if you want to grow into more professional levels. but who am I to tell you your method of composition. Many hits were made from purely "loops." It's crazy. A nice mix of the loops however, hope the video went well. peace

on Can you tell what it is yet by DubTek

Yo. fun track for sure. that's what it's all about anyways, as long as your having a good time creating and genuinely enjoy it, then it's all good. And regarding the forum thing, there's alot of things you have to learn on how people are on this site sometimes. And not as in the members participating with this whole review club thing.

I see it says you joined only a month ago so i wouldn't expect you to know anything about the huge filter this site sometimes has(actually alot to be dead honest) and there's alot of ol'heads of the site that have HUGE EGOS. The profile i currently have isn't accurate with when i joined, i actually joined back in 08 and man...was it a COMPLETELY different loop community. Sometimes it's like theres a cult following or something of the older members and mods. I genuinely just love the music on here though. Alot of true underground talent.

But yea peace homie, keep doing your thang. And take whatever i said how you want. Just letting you know some things! :)

on lay it on by sn76

DnB DnB ah yes, i need to get back into this genre. i will as soon as i can get my fricking hands on reason 6.5 though! lol congrats on getting on the housefly mix, if i had my track finished all the way (at least mastering wise) i would of made it. oh well, but yea i like this man, i think the wobble synth or whatever is a little dull though...kept it simple i see. The drumline gets a little repetitive after a while. Not your best i've heard from you sn76. but keep working! peace brudda!

on LET GO featuring NATE MONOXIDE by edzwood

I have to agree with the others, the vocals are off beat. The synth is really good in my opinion, at least the one in the intro. The other distorted one was off beat, look into that. Never forget to quantize! and if it helps to add more rhythm sometimes, add a main "groove" to your overall track. most daws incorporate this. a solid attempt though, just take your time with things man, everything else should come naturally. peace brudda

Neobane/InPSYcLe

edzwood replied 6th Nov 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks for the constructive crit. And for delivering it in a thoughtful supportive way. SORRY ABOUT THE PACKAGED RESPONSE but since all opinions are about the same I figured one response is in order. Here's the deal for me on this song. It's my first attempt at remixing from a very long acepella. i've put in HUDGE hrs and it's still obviously not right. I'm using ACID I beatmaped all tracks to 128 bpm. so can anybody explain to me how to get it right. I'm not musically trained so I'm obviously missing something. In short HELP!

on We Are by Cufool

Dude, what is your secret? I've listened to a couple of your tracks and they sound very professional. and i see you use FL, but there's no way your getting sound like that outta fruity loops! Unless you have some high end hardware. do you send your tracks to a pro?

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Cufool replied 30th Oct 2012 - 13 years ago

Thanks man!
No loops and mixing and mastering is done by me :)
FL studio tends to get underrated, however, it has been used to write several hits. I didnt use any hardware in this song, all soft-synths; when I do its usually just mic-ing a guitar or something.
I do gotta agree though that alot of the vsts and samples that come with FL studio arnt the best.

on Evil Resident by SixFingeredMan

Man i remember you from quite the while back. before the loop shut down and (slightly) upgraded and what not. dunno if you remember me but yea anyways, this does have a tad bit of resident evil influence in it. Just played that "operation raccoon city" a little while ago. alot of people are NOT liking the new direction the resident evil series is taking. i personally like that game. haven't played 5 or 6 yet. Number 4 for the gamecube was definitely my fav one though. But yea solid track though brudda. keep it up the works! peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

SixFingeredMan replied 27th Oct 2012 - 13 years ago

Yeah, I was away from music for a while also while looper was down. I plan on getting back into it more. Nice to hear from ya. Guess I should stroll over and see what music you've been up to.

on Dec - Broken by Decnet

Well allow me to be the first to comment. i actually like a lot of rock too. but i'm so submerge in my own kraft, i don't have the time to listen to every single genre under the sun. but yea man definitely digs that intro guitar. Thought it was a little soft for rock though. Has more cinematic elements to it, and maybe even a touch of ambient. nice. peace

Neobane/InPSYcLe

Decnet replied 29th Oct 2012 - 13 years ago

Whoa.. I just recently came back from a hectic holiday and WHAM.. ##### of reviews. Damn i love Edz initiative to start this.

OT: Yes.. When it comes to specific genre i suck at pinpointing it in the correct direction. I often create music out of thin air trying to embrace emotions of sorts. I completly agree to what you say that "trying to listen to everything" is nearly impossible, even tho one tries to do ones best so 2 speak. Im happy that you took the time "offgenre" and made a review..

Bunch of thanks..//Dec
