Man Im telling you your talent is pure. The hook is cleverly worded and rapped/sung. Its not just your delivery and flow thats amazing your lyrics are deep as well. You need more exposure for real.
Hey this is really uplifting I really like it. It feels relaxing for me. There are lots of variations to keep interest and the climax helps to build that inspiring feel. I cant really comment on the mix as I have much to learn there.
Considering your background in music and your tenacity (3 tracks in a few days), I think once you get the hang of your DAW (music program) and the mixing elements your going to become elite.
Kass!
On your profile you say your an amateur producer but bro your a couple steps above that for real. Your stuff is mindblowing man.
I like the switch ups they worked with the flow change. Piano set the feel and the track flowed smoothly. Just one question for you though. Are the melodies original or do you use samples? Just wondering.
Keep dropping these "smash" hits. Im gonna keep an eye out for your stuff Its worth listening to.
Man this is one helluva track. I mean aside from the mixing issues mentioned by other users, its really powerful. The guitar is great but those spacey waterdrop Bells really add to the emotion of this track. Lyrics were great, flow for the first two verses were fire, the third and fourth felt a bit off but they were cool as well. You guys really should clean up the mix a bit and this track will be up there commercial ready.
Your music especially your guitar skills is amazing. But your stuff goes beyond your skill with the guitar piano and whatever you play, you also have a very creative mind and your music is always very inspiring and a pleasure to listen to.
And damn your mixes are clean man. Among the best of them.
I've been playing guitar since I was in the 8th grade - just kinda picked it up, my brother showed me the G, C and D chords. I didn't like standard tuning so I changed it to open D; this song was recorded in open-D :P I learned standard tuning later. Music runs on the boys' side of the family so it came a little bit easier for me than for some.
The clean mixes are just the accumulation of 3 years of trial and error, nothing fancy :P
Ok wow this is really good. The two pellas worked together well and you used them together perfectly. The musical production is done really well with nice beat drops and other switchups that kept this track really interesting throughout. Especially the vocal delay effect and drum drop. Also nice catchy bells and I like that heart beat part.
Listened to this several times cuz this is one of the better overall hip-hop productions involving vocals.
Excellent production and creativity man keep em coming.
Ooh I hear some Xaphoon Jones influences on this remix a little like the Bob Marley I wanna know now Xaphoon remix.
Great vibes and great work! Keep at it!
Phatkatz said it best here.
You are a scientist of sound lol really awesome guitar-synth for the main riff/melody. Your classic synth sound that comes in at the 40 sec mark is like your trademark sound. You really brought not only energy but intensity to the track. The first 35 sec sounded like it needed to be part of an action trailer of some sort.
11 months in the making?! So Im not the only one that has unfinished music that Ive started on ages ago and still tweaking with haha?
Anyways Spiv gotta hand it to you again. Really excellent production and of course you bring that classic uniqueness and style
Hey Omar, thank you for this comment and for being patient in my replies both here and away. That keytar (or guitboard if you are flight of the conchords inclined) thing is pretty fun for sure. You mention the trademark sound, and while I can pick it out, I think you are probably right. For me intensity is one of the most important qualities music can have, so I take that as a compliment! I rarely watch action movies any more, unless they are crossover from things like horror or comedy, but I can hear what you mean. 11 months is quite a while to keep something on my plate, but it seems to be more and more common for me. Just like when I'm designing and building electronics, I feel comfortable when I have a huge back log of things to work on. For example, on my last album, I started about 120 songs to settle on the 19 or whatever ended up on the album. Thanks for your positive support here, I appreciate it! I'll try to reply to you in email soon as well.
I like listening to your stuff spiv cuz its very different and unique. Like some of the previous comments said it sounds retro but I say more modernish retro. Really unique.
The synths and sounds you got going are well played out and catchy but the glitchy synth that comes and goes at around the 1:09, 2:34, etc sounds out of place. But other than that you did an awesome job making all the synths work with each other in all ranges. It definitely sounds complete and the synth play/solo at the 3:01 mixes things up and keeps things interesting which is necessary for long tracks. You also got some cool transition synths going on but I didnt catch it until the 3rd or 4rth time of listening because it gets caught up behind the other synths (Yes this track has an usual addiction).
The vocals are not that unusual. It really fits the lyrics which are quite interesting and uncertain yet somehow hopeful if that makes any sense haha Its what I got out of it. The "we are the future" vocals at 1:46 feels like it comes too soon. Maybe having it come in a sec or so later can solve that but then again that may be just me since no one said anything about it.
Anyway Spiv I gotta hand it to you cuz overall this track is really really good, honestly listened to this countless times. Excuse my extra long review and critque but I just feel like if some areas in the track are improved it will be one of the most exceptional tracks on here because of your very unique style.
Thank you for stopping by to leave a useful comment! The glitchy synth you speak of that "comes and goes" was not really intended to be rhythmic in orientation, and is meant to sound like another place/time, only as an atmosphere which pushes it's way through at times. So from your comment, I feel it does what was intended. The transitions were difficult in this, as the key changes back and forth a bit... but it seemed to work for the vibe the vocals were meant for. I actually gave the "we are the future" part a chance at different timings and different performances, but this way it accented on the beats which I intended. It's a bit of my style to vocalize a bit ahead of the beat lately. Not sure if I will be going back to change anything, as it took many months to achieve what I wanted with the track as is. It was hard enough keeping the emotion which led to the original composition/lyrics after so many months. I really appreciate the detailed review and your addicted listening! Thank you!
Really cool effects. Awesome transitions. Synth melodies are nice and catchy. I felt the beginning claps were a little flat but the main drum loop was well-done.
All in all great job.
Whoaahh. Damn this is good. There seems to be more and more ambient tracks around the loop these days but this is up there. Seriously you created an awesome atmosphere. At around the one minute mark when there was a brief pause I thought the climax was gonna hit (wasnt looking at the waveform) but it was just a little teaser with that kick. That kick though packs such a punch I really like it.
Entire track is well-composed like trailer music for a movie or a documentary.
Wow!!! Truly amazing. I would love to hear more from you in this genre.
Very powerful. It immerses you in this chilling yet beautiful atmosphere and then it suddenly fades out and you snap out of it thinking where the heck you just were.
Phenomenal job on this one!
Thanks Omar! It even gave me chills when I was making it haha. I REALLY enjoyed doing this one, and strongly considering doing another as soon as I get the chance :)
Hey Benjizo I really like this track a lot. The vox chops is cool and I know it would sound better if someone rapped over this. Its got a nice laid back soul type of feel.
Keep bringing em
Yea your right. I dont remeber playing this and this track does not disappoint. Really powerful. I love that breakdown around the one minute mark. Its those type of things that keep the interest in the track alive.
Another Great Track.
The drums in this track is awesome. It cuts clearly in the track. At around the 1:30 mark, I couldnt help but smile. The bass is killing. The previous comments stated how overpowered the bass is or was. I like it though (even though it does take some from the other frequencies) I dont know I found it addicting.
Nice use of the vocals for real. Its a really interesting tune.
I was going through your music but I kept coming back to this one. Its really catching and addicting. Cool use of the filter effects.
Your really good in this genre.
Awesome track.
Hello dear OmarMuk, sometimes old one are better. Im agree with you that one is one of the best I made and I had a lot of fun by putting all the fx XD. Also can I recomment you one its similar to this one you may like it.
Spiv I swear if there was such a thing as the Looperman Hall of Fame you'd be one of the first to be inducted haha. No but seriously the music is really playful and engaging. It reminds me of my days of mario kart haha. Great musical production and lyrics are cool too.
You do have some of the more interesting tracks especially since you make all your sounds. You tread areas I would never go and it results in interesting and entertaining music.
Great Work.
Hey OmarMuk, very nice to hear from you on this piece. You're too kind with your praise! I remember playing Mario Kart a bit back a while, though I was more fond of earlier consoles. SNES did have some sweet music though. Thank you for the compliments on the sounds used. One of my most comforting feelings in life is listening to one of my songs, and thinking "I have no idea how I made that sound." When my headphones on my head, I am in a different world. Thank you for stopping by!
Ok this is awesome, had a really laid back feel. Im serious when I say this sounded kinda like Blue Scholars Morning Of America. You have almost the same voice and flow as Blue Scholars. You should check them out if you never heard of em.
The music production is phenomenal as well.
Hell of a track.
Thanks a lot bro, mighty kind and thoughtful comment. I have never heard of Blue Scholars Morning Of America. I am in the midst of quite a few projects right now, but when I find myself with some time I might check it out! :)
Really liking this track. Awesome transition into the beat but I just wish the kick came in stronger. It feels a little weak (possible use of compression or parallel compression to help) but thats just my take. This is still a really good track. Enough drops, effects, and mixups to keep it interesting. Really needs someone to drop some vocals.
Overall great work.
Hey hey. I kinda feel like I owe you a hundred reviews after your analysis of my track lol.
Man, this is pretty sweet. Its packed with energy, and very punchy. Love the drum switches. It definetely has an intriguing arrangement keeping interest in throughout the track. I might wanna give this a listen before I jump into any type of competition, it really hypes me up haha.
Great job!!
