Sick synths, bassline and beats man! Keeps you on your toes, but I think you could add more melody and vary the bassline a bit or extend.. but this is definitely some good cruising progressive house. Not too angry, but gets me pumped! Nice shizzle

Very chill! You made some nice sounds, but they overpower the percussion. Mastering is definitely the hardest part.. keep working on it!

This is some feel good shit man, nice subtle instruments drum-fills, never sounds repetitive. I can't wait to hear this lengthened and with vocals over it!

Very cool, good job mastering and use of noises. Only thing is its kinda long and doesn't change up that much. But I could see it in a club, keep it up.

Dope!
Keep perfectin it!

I feel like you stole the main melody from Lenny Kravitz I think, but this is still fun and awesome and nice and tidy and interesting! Good chill out tune man, would love to see you put hours and hours of work into a piece.

Not bad, kinda break-beaty and the drums are washed out by the bass noises, but you have some pretty brutal sounds. I'd say try to get more of a melody going and equalize/widen the instruments and you'll have a sick track. Try to listen to it with fresh ears, and keep improving the intro, build, drop, verses, chorus if u have any, and outtro. Even with no lyrics songs need structure like this so they actually sound like a song instead of just noises.

Wow, old school yet fresh. Funky and hard.

Love the sax/bassline and guitar melodies, vocals are mastered perfect Imo.

Great track keep em comin. Don't have anything negative to say about it.

I would call this dubstep dude, this is freakin wicked! The girl's voice sounds like vocal egyptian horns and the guys voice has some sick effects on it. The arrangement is sick, beats are beautiful, very well done.

Fav'd. (4th one I've ever faved lol)

PS Please finish this so I can put it on my ipod haha

I like the high pitched accents and melodies the most, I agree it has the feel of one long intro, but put into electronic genre it actually fits and could just be a cool eerie background music type song. Definitely a work in progress but some of the aspects were very unique and have potential.

Very impressive for original loops using garage band! I hear the limitations of garage band in some of the mastering and noises, but you did amazing stuff with the hand you were dealt lol and the vocals actually added a lot. I enjoyed them.

You did a good job adding in various synths and melodies as to keep it sporadic and interesting.

I would work on the beats, widen the drums, and equalize the bass drum for sure, as it's tone is somewhat overpowering and
monotonous.

Kudos!

Loving the reverby melodies in the high register and subtle chill basslines. I'd definitely call this chillstep, but it's good chillstep. The drop in the middle is pretty dirty yet funky too, love it.

BADF@#$%ING A$$ MAN.

Wow, so many subtleties that all come together to create an image of seizing the day and revealing all the lies that the government tells us... If only.

That's the feel I get from it anyway - altogether a very moving and well-done piece. Kudos!

Weird intro, very repetitive. Sounds like a good hip-hop song to me!

Dude! What?! Why isn't this on the radio?

Get a hotter chick than spears to sing to this and make some banksicles! lol

Very nice dance / house track, pretty much perfectly mastered.

Intro feels like Star Trek turning into frogger. Dope. Haha pretty down wobbles and basslines. I agree with spiv, but you can use default noises and beef them up with effects. Compress the snare so it's more punchy and less of a static PFFFF. The bass drum was put in it's own place well, nice pop. Work on the snare and add some more complexity to the beats. You can probably tell I'm just typing as I listen to it lol but nice job man!

Btw just uploaded a new one ;)

Duuude nice work!

Beautiful intro into a wicked drop, and the rest of the song was pretty groovy and well mastered. I would work two things though: The main crash cymbals used through the song sound a bit too real-drum-kit-ish for the rest of the drums used, and clash with the synths and into intro especially. Secondly I'd to create an overall melody that kindof wraps everything together, or at least add more melodies. Sick arrangement tho also (listening as I'm reviewing).

Cheers! DLL

Yeah dude I agree with Kenny, at first I was like OHHHHHH and then the drums sucked and I was like wtf? And then I read the demo description and it all made sense. Purely ingenious intro, with a pad and proper mastering I can see this going places for sure man!

Get off your break and finish this 1! lol

Nice techno/dance tracks.. love the basslines and high pitched subtleties... What did you make it on? Who's vocals? Are they original loops?

To be honest, it reflects the two days worth of effort. Genius prodigies can whip up a crazy song overnight, but people like me and you need to spend a week or even weeks on a song to make it worth while, or else you end up with what you have: One melody randomly arranged with beats that don't flow. This just means you're onto a start - not in a rut! Keep working on it, and good luck! DLL

The bass could be clearer, and the bass drum could have more punch. Other than that - it made my high higher xD, it might have been because the song somehow forced my hands to pack another snap...

Very good job.

Yeah you have to put the bass in it's own place using the EQ. Give it boost between 80Hz-300Hz and then cut it out from 1k-20k Hz. Then if you turn it up it will only get louder in the BASS frequency range, not mudding out any other sounds.

I like that you actually used music theory and arrangement in your trance song, sometimes I think that is more important than effects and mastering - but popularity tends to prove me wrong. With that said, your song has great melodies, complementing pads and basslines with interesting and original beats, but lacks that final 'zing' you get from mastering.. maybe widen the drums, put them in their own place (bass 10-100Hz) snare/clap (1-3kHz) depending and have some more subtleties in the background to distract the listener's ear and prevent it from sounding repetitive.

Haha I like the description. The sounds in the intro clash with each other, but once the trippy/spacey melody come in with the reggae/funk bass, it sounds like a real song and I was even getting into it.. and then 1:36 came and I was like YEEEEEEE but I think it needs to be built up more beforehand, so that it's no so out of no where and the listener can 'feel' something amazing about to happen, because the drop is that good. You did good for the most part putting all the instruments in their own place.. maybe widen the drums a bit more and add more punch?

Edit - By 'built up' I mean you need background pads and a bass drum build up or something.

I'd say it's a mix between electronica breakbeat and drum n bass? But then again I hate labels so why bother! This is brutal, paranoid, and needs to be in the background to some fast-paced horror game. And as always, I can tell you did the mastering as everything is perfectly in it's own place both pan and eq. Good job Spivvvy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and I remastered my Get Ready song, I think you listened to it some months ago when it wasn't finished.. check it out if you want.

Cheers!

P.S. just got to the outtro when I finished posting this.. and had to comment on how spiffy (spivvy?) it is ;)

Clean intro, use of filters, drops, and beats/sidechaining? Maybe a bit simplistic overall, but can definitely see this in a club! Not just saying that either.. it sounds professional.
