on Hailfire by Cybertooth
Strange to hear you make something other dark,ambient, glitched up dubstep cyber! but this is great and i think the simplicity works well. I dunno why, but lately all i've been doing is comparing alotta of music to game music soundtracks. lol everything is just sounding like it could work well in some sort of game. just picturing alot of crazy imagery. this one in particular gives me a "Dot hack" vibe for some reason. (i dunno why no one likes that game that much, it's a great rpg) lol nerd side a little. anyways, the beginning synth gives a very nostalgic feeling for me as well, kind of takes me back to a place i know, but is unknown to me for some odd reason...i like the suttle use of the "yea" vox as well..hmm yes i do like that. indeed. lol great track brudda!

P.S. i dunno if neo works for me anymore, i'm not feeling like the "ONE" you know? lol or maybe i could...

on Dreamland by SpyderByte
LOL with phyruis post, i'm not seeing in the description that you said it was even a drum and bass track. don't worry about him being a genre nazi though. make music how YOU invision it. not by industry standards and LONG overdue traditions. the traditions are good. and the classics will always be respected. as i respect every traditional song in every traditional genre. but were on the verge of a complete new age, and it's time for change. anyways man sheesh i like this track though, i agree with the last dude it does give off this kirby vibe. some strange dreamworld level or something. a great theme for game. i like that constant chirping sound as well. keep making music. regards

-oh okay man, i thought as much afterwards. still good track though

Thanks a lot InPSYcle.
The original genre on this song was Drum and Bass, but since a few people didn't agree, I changed it to Electronic. =]
Making it sound like something Kirby-ish was not my original intention, but I'm glad that people can relate it to Kirby. I like the chirping sound as well.
I'll keep making music man. I'm working on an EP actually. It'll be released later this month.

on lick quid by sn76
Your really into DnB. i've recently gotten into DnB and i'm pretty addicted. my fav genre is still cinematic music though. but this genre is really appealing. already started to listen to some known artists like netsky, sub focus, and goldie. this genre is crazy! another hit brudda! keep with the pace. regards

on Ask Yourself by SynThetK
Nice, i'd imagine those are acid loops right? because i have acid music studio and acid pro 7. and i have all those loops. at least those guitar loops. sounds like you used the chopper a little as well. nice use of it if you did. great job man. it would of been nice if you were in time for the challenge! but regardless this is nice for a couple hours work like john said. regards my friend

tyvm and acid 8 for sure its ghetto but we all start somewhere lol, cheaper than ableton and no chopper actually, variations with tempo and a simple reverse, with an amplitude modulation filter

on My First Hip Hop Song by Skyhunter
When you say you "wrote" the song i'm assuming you draw the ALL the notes in for every instrument then? that's insane if you do. unless you just not music theory. which i do not lol i just go off instinct, passion, and inspiration. but this is really nice man. definitely chills back like you imply. faved. regards

Skyhunter replied 13th Nov 2011 - 13 years ago
Yep! I wrote every part for every instrument. I do know music theory too though, but it's not like it makes writing easier, it just tells you why something works.

Yea it has. I still produce ambient from time to time, but mostly just incorporate ambient elements into other genres. I have an ambient remix on my soundcloud page though...

on The Stream by Northway
Hey man! i like the flow of this track! the melody is really nice too. I'm no expert though but may i make a suggestion to add a 4 bar break in there? like in alot of tracks from netsky and sub focus in guys like them i "think", i maybe wrong, but they use alot of samples, especially 4 bar breaks. basically like a lot of "amen break" variations. that's what i've been hearing so far. i've just been studying up on. i started another DnB track (that Energy track isn't actually my first DnB track, at least that i started on) that sounded similar to this. like the main "beat" was there. but not the "groove" so to speak. like listen to netsky's track

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG7cRDcPY3k

BIG difference. makes you wanna move. i thought you could make that type of groove from scratch in like redrum or something(i compose in reason) but nothing worked for me lol so i used one sample and it made all the difference. but if i could learn to make a 4 bar break from scratch im going to learn soon! but still a good track you have going here man! regards

on My First Beat by Maxomunz
I like it man! You had alot more sense of a hip hop/rap beat than i did! i didn't even know at first that hip hop was at a "slowed" down tempo of 90 or lower. i always made beats at the default 120! lol man it sucked lol but this is pretty solid man, the mix could always be tweaked back on, and the maybe more could be added, but this is old stuff! and we move on! thanks for sharing this man! regards and respect

I appreciate the review and the compliment ;) ....A lot of times I actually forget to change the tempo on a song...Most of my songs are the FL studio default 140.I'm still learning though.

on And I Fall- WeaverBard vs Luckyman by LuckyFlaush
Definitely a change in pace and overall style. Seems you picked up better arrangement skills from 2004 till now! really ambient and ethnic sounding! the synth is a nice touch to this and the acapella is a sweet addition to the track. a great transformation of style! regards

on wild desert by jimbo87
Wow man i definitely love the soundscape in this. They are quite good to be loops. I feel like i'm lost in a far eastern desert...frantically searching for water, shelter, food...You do the cinematic genre justice with this track. And cinematic is my fav genre. great work for sure, and a great imagery heavy sound scape. I hope to hear more attempts on cinematic from you soon. regards my friend

Frickin ill cameron! This ish knocks! And i agree with the others, the intro is really ambient, and i love the lingering guitar in the background. Superb track man! no major sidetracks!

-alright i might do that man, might take some time and scheduling though.

on Minor Setback by Spivkurl
You know alot of your stuff is quite simple spiv, but yet it works quite well! Although this doesn't sound too fast pace like DnB usually is. (160 bpm) But who the hell am I right?? lol breaking the rules makes you your own artist! Nice transitions throughout brudda! regards and respect

Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown
Yeah it is quite simple, you're right! This song was really brought together by the addition of the vocoder! Actually the tempo is a little faster at 172 BPM, though I admit it doesn't sound like it. Thanks much for the review and fave!

on sound of my dream by jimbo87
Really nice approach to the DnB genre man! The synths are very upbeat and happy but mellow at the same time. Nice syncopation within the drum pattern. And the wobbling bass is a nice touch man! great job!

on The Diva and the Shaman by Sukuta
Very traditional like my friend. Ambient and tense at the same time. the tabla and taiko compliment each other superbly. And the throat singing only adds to enrich the sound scape. a great mix and nice use of transitions and space. excellent work.

on Fear Of The Dark by Alen9R
I must admit i've been listening to some DnB lately, and i haven't realized how appealing it is! And the way the drums are arranged are interesting as well! I'm currently making my first DnB track using some sounds from that refill you passed to me! And it's sounding pretty ill so far! But anyways i really like the sounds used here, especially that high tension sound in the beginning. it sounds vaguely familiar...but it's great and it works. DnB master piece brudda. great job! regards

-And reason isn't that difficult to use. i could help you out if you want. Been composing with reason for a year in half now and i learned a bunch, especially in school! Although i wouldn't recommend mastering too "deeply" in reason. you can master the basics of course like the volume of your tracks, but i use izotope ozone 4 for mastering. at least that's just my preference. Although my opinion might change vastly when reason 6 comes out towards the end of the year!.

-Hey check my track man, it sounds pretty solid! i might adjust some more though. but take a listen if you want!

Alen9R replied Unknown
For the intro, I used few 3D_Fx loops,they are excellent,nice panning,and sounds a bit dark ! When/if you will upload dnb track, let me know,I will definitely listen and try to help you!

I am not producing in Reason, in FL I have a better view and it's easier for me to edit things! I use Reason as a sound library, all I need I made in Reason (which is usually basses, pad's, FX's) and then switch in the FL, and Edit as I want!

I for one part of mastering using Cool Edit!
I have Ozone 3, but frankly this thing drives me crazy,I just not know to properly use this Ozone thing hahaha!! I always get some sounds and not the desired effects on my tracks when I using ozone .... I dunno LOL!!

Anyway thanks Neo, appreciate your listening and feedback!
