Pretty nice job for a rough draft. Vocals blend in pretty great. Piano is a plus. Has a nice atmosphere and groove. Look forward to the finished version, nice work once again. peace
Hi GramoChopin!
Thanks for listening and leaving a comment - I'm working with this today so let's see what happens. It's sounding pretty terrible in every way at the moment but maybe I'll manage to sort it out somehow - I Think I'm in love with the vox.
Been a real dark mood, so it definitely fits me. Even so, this is still a very nice piece. Has a haunting nature to it, great beat and piano is excellent. Nicely done, peace
Minimalistic goodness. As the master demonstrates likes so. Very nice deep bass, complete basshead myself. Crazy effects and synths used in this, keep working. peace
Hey, thank you GC! I can't say for sure, but I've been thinking that this is one of the most authentic and successful tracks I've done. It was almost pure instinct, which is hard to capture sometimes. Bass was so simple that it surprises me every time. I still think of you as NeoBane, so it's an adjustment having the Chopin moniker show up. Hope you are well!
Feel cool just listening to it. Very good sounding sax. Excellent transitions as it progresses. Guitar is prominent in the mix and sits effortlessly. Top production, peace
Thanks allot, Gramo. To be honest, I didn't think too many people would like this one, but so far, it's the most downloaded and commented on. Guess you can never tell what people will like.
Took just a lil min to start getting somewhere but I'm glad i stuck around for that synth after the :54 sec mark. You should elaborate on that more and combine maybe a bit of rises or reverses. The drumming also needs work however, as that is a crucial element to the dnb genre. Unless you were going for a more modern feel. This one has potential, but still a pretty good start. That synth I mentioned is a keeper. Like that bit at the 2:20 mark as well. These are all just suggestions, keep working man. peace
Definitely a dance ready tune. Nice choice of loops to create the tune. I've heard one of those loops used too by another member. That's bound to happen though, small world ya know. Anyways great groove, mix is pretty solid. The transitions could use a tad bit of work I think. That's just me but otherwise nice jam! peace
So, Idk what sample you used but the guitar like bits remind me of some of the FFX ost. Sounds like one of the island themes. Dunno if you game at all but that's what it reminds me of this time. I do a lil of everything though, I don't just game all day. I have a life too but it's just another reality escape for me like music. I still think you must be asking Flying Lotus for advice or something lol dope production man. peace
lol thats dope yea i know about final fantasy but nah its from a song by grant green called maybe tomorrow its pretty dope as for flylo lol i wish i knew his secrets hes on a whole other level with his creativity btw way u opened up a whole new spectrum for the samples ima find lol thanks
Nice one bro. Like the galloping clap and kick combo. The windchime type of fx in the background is pretty nice. Is the synth your talking about the guitar like sound? Dope, digs it man. The other pulsating synth in the back blends pretty nice. Just need to hear them vocals now, keep working ma dude. peace
Ha dark stuff huh? I can relate. I probably make too many dark sounding tracks, maybe that's why I can't appeal to the "masses." Never really followed the crowd anyways, I've known alot of dark people in my life too so I guess it kind of rubbed off on me. I'm not a evil person or anything, I just like dark stuff. Anything dark. lol Enough about that, digging this track. Great combination of genres. Since I'm so bad and dark, I'm not usually into the upbeat vibes you got going on here. Just depends on my mood though. Like the electro like synth work, ended suddenly though...err, I don't really like when that happens in a track. You should of made a outro of some sort. Unless your going to extend it, regardless nice production. Could be polished up a bit more, otherwise still great work on this! faving, peace
So, I could of swore I reviewed this one. Anyways, quality ambient track here midis. Love the synth at the end. I feel like I'm a moon man or something. Very good production, peace
thanks Gramo. it is challenging trying to blend into somebody else's mix but I made some progress. glad it put you on the moon for a minute. thanks again. Dan
Must of mixed up my last comment with another track I was reviewing. Apologies. Still pretty nice track. Still kind of smooth too. Good piano breakdown, main synth has a great groove. peace
So, I actually thought I reviewed this track when I played it last. Anyways, real nice piece you got here. No favs..._ Fixed. No 21 downloads?.._Fixed. Thought this one grooved real elegant. All the synths and piano work real well. You have my support. peace
Oh was it that percussion like sound then? That sounds like a vent..hmm I actually bought a gameboy sp a while ago cuz I still had my gba games. Including Metroid Fusion. But for some reason it is the ONLY game that doesn't have my last original save file. Which most gba games should have. But luckily I do have my emulator on my dell. I have a controller too lol By the time you get the screw attack though you are basically invincible. It's awesome lol Nice use of the sample once again
Yea man, I like what you did with this. The vocals blend in smoothly. I agree with Adamms, real mellow. Relaxing, the guitar like sound echoing is really nice too. Dig it man, peace
Listening/review spree, you are officially customer #1558920. Idk, anyways least I know with you and a handful of others I'll always get something quality and pretty interesting to listen to. Nice ethnic sounding instruments used, I hear that in many of your tracks.
You incorporate it well. Steady drumming but alot of minor details added into the mix that switches the gears up. 2:52 Nice bango like instrument, the delay/reverb afterwards is pretty nice.
I'm a reverb/delay addict so I tend to think sometimes reverb/delay makes the track sound better. I used to seriously think this before I knew anything about anything. 3:43 dig this double time drumming and nicely spaced/gated out and open vocal in the background. Perhaps a bit of influence from me? ha no I'm not that good. I'm an average artist at best, maybe I'm just too modest.
Anywaysssss, wow this took a bit of time to review. As most of your tracks do based on the length of them alone. Perhaps my Mecha EP will interest you further when it is complete, as the final track I make for it I'm going to try to make one of my longest tracks ever. Maybe 15min.
Can't upload that on the loop though, the quality would be just horrible. EP will have all the best versions of my tracks though. (Which I will make a thread about) I hope you will listen in on this EP when I'm finished.
The tracks I've uploaded so far are mere childplay to the other tracks planned. Excellent work on this production though Static, could of used this do my homework to a while back lol. Top stuff. peace
Yes, I do have quite a few ethnic and exotic instruments in my tracks. Or sometimes I play guitar or banjo in an eastern style. Flute is the main exotic, ethnic in this one, as can be heard on 1:00.
"2:52 Nice bango like instrument"
That's one of my two resonator guitars. No banjo in this track. My other resonator guitar comes in on 3:33 for the "dual slide resonator solo", as listed in the track description.
"Nice bango like instrument, the delay/reverb afterwards is pretty nice."
Not sure which delay/reverb you mean. After what? Maybe it's on 3:12 where I switch to a heavier drumkit with open hat and the add reverb to that slide guitar part to make it bigger and better.
"I tend to think sometimes reverb/delay makes the track sound better"
Oh, I think that a lot. Delay is easily my favourite ever effect. A magical thing that almost is musi itself as it offers so much movement and enhances most playing. Distortion is probably my second favourite. Totally different but really provides some serious balls and grit and power to most things.
"nicely spaced/gated out and open vocal in the background."
No vocals in the track. Maybe you're hearing the delay tail of the slide guitar fading away starting on 3:52.
"Perhaps a bit of influence from me?"
Not sure exactly what you mean or what sound or technique of yours might have influenced me. But I suspect the answer is no.
"wow this took a bit of time to review."
Yes, you've written quite a bit!
I will check out your Mecha EP when you let me/us hear it.
Speaking of 15 min tracks, here's a truly wonderful one from Underworld.
Really digging the grittyness of the guitar after the 1:56 mark. Real nice groove on this one too. Could be a tad louder but that's just me. Otherwise, great tune here. jamming. peace
Definitely has that old school flavor as you mention in your reply to James. Digging it. Piano is my fav instrument so that's always a plus with me. Not sure what buzzsaw is, I'm sure that's discussed in the link you provide for the interview. Thought provoking track man, good work. peace
You should post a link to the original so I have a reference. But even then, real nice spaced out sounding track midi. Sounds like I'm losing touch with gravity, love the airy quality to this one. A smooth relaxing composition. peace
Nice one man. Definitely sounds like a dream world. Reminds me of Kirby for some reason. Agree with the others, digging the melodies. Flows real nice, good work. Mixed pretty well too. peace
Great comp here Vega. Sounding pro with the guitar playing, drums have a nice light mix to them. But that makes them alot more enjoyable. At least for me, clean mix too. Jamming, reminds me of the tunes we had playing on my intern a while back. Nice one man, peace
Thanks for taking the time to give it a listen and comment bro. Always appreciative of the support. This really was pretty much a jam. I remember I had just smoked a big fat bowl of some Kush and I was feeling pretty good. The whole lead was done in one take after the bowl. Your kind words of support mean a lot. Thanks again.
So, digging the second half the track. Dope. The vocals are a nice blend as well. The title of the track is pretty accurate too. I kind of hear where Johnny is coming from with the offkey business but it sounds good on my end man. Great work on this, just kind of ended suddenly though. peace
Sick production bro, I actually gotta beat by the same name. Had it on my soundcloud but took it down because it wasn't getting no love. I guess it's all on you and the work you put in at the end of the day though. And then just keep it consistent. Quality but consistent. It's kind of what I'm trying to do now with my producing but it's pretty hard. I'm a track starting fanatic though and I have probably too many unfinished tracks in the vault. Anyways nice piano loop from MINOR, he has quality loops for real for real. Him and a list of others on here have a prolific nature to their work that I want to achieve one day. Once again, dope beat. Love the choirs and dark synths. Knocking, peace.
Hey Man good to hear from you, thx for stopping by. In way the most work I did on this beat was finding out how the sounds work together and looping them accordingly. I love the hell out of the synths so there nothing more I could do but keep it consistent. Dude I feel you man I don't how people come up with beautiful melodies like these, I tired but failed A LOT. Same man I got over 25 unfinished tracks just don't know what to do with them. Keep it up some day you will get the hang of it, I can't wait to listen to it. See you Than, THANK YOU for coming!
