on I Will Have You Destroyed by Evisma
I will have you know that you will not have me destroyed. But it's interesting that you're so confident about it. For a start, I doubt you'll be able to find my secret lair. But if you were to manage it, how do you think you'd do it? Just destroying my good name in the media or actually obliterating my fantastic body? Would you toss me in a car crusher? Brush hog me till I disintegrate? Dynamite up the ass while I sleep?
Now let's get down to mothafuckin' business:
Intro is jaunty, acoustic Irish jigging stuff that maybe fades in a bit too much ie should start at a higher level.
0:15 and we're totally rocking with addition of fat bass and drums. This is good shit.
0:46 that little riff is too cool. It's actually pretty hard to tell what it is. I guess bass g. And the frog guiro is amusing and adds some unusual character.
Some lower bass g gets effectively added and now 1:09 comes the coolest addition, the "darkish choir". That's the kind of additional flavour you need to add to your music.
1:33 I see why ToastMan says Fantasia. Because it's some dreamy, far out soundtrack music. A bit like something Danny Elfman might come up with. You know - the composer who's done loads of scores for Tim Burton. And The Simpsons.
Drums sound great, as I suspected they would. Spivkurl recently said that he wished Superior didn't exist and that it "always sounds like phasing noisy junk". But let's not worry about that negative, weird and irrelevant opinion.
I knew your first track using Superior would have good drums because you've been putting in the practice these last few years with lesser software. Now you can do some nice "phasing noisy junk", your drum quality has gone up a notch. Or three. Actually, hearing this makes me wonder if I should get the Progressive EZX. I now know partly what it sounds like. Good reverb on the drums. It's just a fat sound.
Anyway, I'm running out of words so I'm going to run now and return when you reply to review the second half of this nice track bro.
Undestroyed Nomad, unable to focus on anything but your surrender.
A fine question......
1. Replace your fiber powder with laxative powder and watch you shit to death as you keep unknowingly taking laxatives to stop the shitting.
2. Offer your rowing butler a callous-free hand-job to finally off you the way he has always fantasized; with scissors, rocksalt and wearing Groucho glasses.
3. Take away his delay pedal.
4. Train a vicious horde of attack rats to sniff out the combination of Guinness and Honey Mango, leading them, of course, directly to you. Unable to defend against such a well trained, mighty and driven force, you will be slowly disassembled into tiny bits and redistributed all over the UK in what will appear to be tiny brown grains of rice.
5. Fly over there and shoot your ass. How many scruffy, white Alex's can there be. I've got a revolver, so my hope is less than 7.
6. Convince a beautiful, intelligent, sexy and loyal girl to make you fall in love with her. She will complete you, and you will feel that she truly wants you, and you share something that nobody else is worthy of..... then I'll send you video of her blowing thugs for meth.
---------------------------------------------
0:46 riff is acoustic guitar, way up on the neck, so it does sound odd, but thats what I liked about it.
"always sounds like phasing noisy junk"
He's a smart, great guy. A positive influence in the world, but this actually sums up what I think of his music, minus the phasing. A lot of detailed work for a product that seems to hate my ears. Other people love it, just not my thing. More power to him. I'm sure there are people who can't stand what I do.
"...this makes me wonder if I should get the Progressive EZX. I now know partly what it sounds like. Good reverb on the drums. It's just a fat sound."
A good amount of post-processing. A compressor, eq for some extra overheads, and a room reverb at half mix. Since you seem to have more expendable income, you should go for the Progressive Foundry SDX. It's about 66GB of samples. I've got 107GB of empty space, waiting for expansions. I've been thinking of EZMIX. Tutorials make it look pretty awesome, though everyone will have access to the same presets. Just have to finagle them into something special.
I hope Number 6 wasn't too depressing. It's pretty close to my last relationship before I met my wife. That was a shitty stretch of life. I wish it on no one.
Evan, gets just what he came for, then he's out the door again.
on Beyond Nebulous by Neomorpheus
I'm not a fan of Meshuggah (just too heavy and lacking in melody for me) but I think about them fairly often as I have Tomas Haake's Metalheads EZX and use it quite often, not only in heavy tracks. I used some of Haake's MIDI files for some of the "criminally insane" drumming that you liked in my Fist Bumps Of Fury track (especially early in the track).
I'm really, really bad with time signatures so I don't really know what 23/16 time is. But I do know I get something quite distinctive from his crazy MIDI files. Most of them are banging away on cymbals so not a lot of hat work.
Anyway:
0:10 that's quite a cool little industrial flourish and I like the slightly vocally drone synth underneath, changing note on 0:28.
0:15 and here's that heavy djent thud and overall fat sound. This already sounds well produced, as does all your stuff these days, I believe.
This does sound like there's some evil, clanging, octave-jumping bass guitar in it. I guess that's all just guitar. But it is a detuned 8 string so that makes sense.
1:19 and that lead guitar is a welcome addition as sitting on that thudding djent riff was getting a bit samey.
3:02 fuck that's dark and evil. Really wide guitars.
3:16 like an ogre groaning. Or metal vocalist grunting away.
The lead work on top here makes it more far out and psychedelic. In a dark, unsettling way.
This second half seems more powerful than the first.
As I said, Meshuggah isn't my kind of sound so I can't really love this track but the guitar work is very good - well played and produced.
4:48 reverse flourish at the end is a nice touch.
Static MeshuggMad
Anyhow, thanks for the listen and comments bro. Maybe my next track will be more to your liking.
on LITTLE DREAD by Planetjazzbass
This is some good shit.
0:21 and that first note is cool. Nice guitar playing and the reggae is strong and rather retro. Drums right back in the mix. I'd prefer them more forward, to bring the groove out, but I understand that choice.
1:18-1:25 there may be a bit of clash between the bass and guitar as they're both rather active. It's good bass variety, all the same.
1:33 saxy sound that's rather authentic even though I suspect it's not a real one.
1:58 good strange, emphatic noise.
2:08 nice, subtle guitar.
I still want the drums to be more prominent but they're not and that's your choice.
3:25 good vocal screamy stuff a little reminiscent of Floyd's The Great Gig In The Sky.
I'm not that keen on the windy, rainy ending but it's not bad. I'm not keen on fadeouts in general and prefer something more definitive to round things off.
This is some very authentic retro reggae that no one would know was made by one guy playing everything at a computer. So congrats on capturing that classic reggae essence and adding some additional, worldly "ethnic" flavour.

on Eyes Run Aground by Evisma
"don't knock the pull-out"
Good point. I thought about going with "vag vacationing visigoth" and "vag vanquishing visigoth" but decided that "vacating" better suited your considerate personality. How considerate of me. Anyway, who wants to vanquish vag? That would no doubt put it out of action. Better to keep it fully functioning. And not overflowing with babies.
OK, you ungrateful wretch, I will take back Killing My Good Times and turn it into a Nomad masterpiece.
"We'll discuss this further elsewhere."
Damn, it sounds like you might actually put something up for Slupergroupery collaborations. An offering to The Vulv.
Great to hear you're enjoying Superior. "EZX does not have all the mic bleeds and striker options". Is that so? I guess there have to be some differences though I have a couple of SDXs (Roots and Sticks) that have fewer drums than some of my EZXs.
I'll tell you another time about two things I find really annoying about Superior (maybe you have found a solution) but for now will give you a Progressive suggestion.
So, you've worked out that you can add additional drums using X drums though you can't alter the processing of that new drum. So, if you add a second snare, I think its output channel is the same as the initial snare. As you've only got one main kit that you're really going to enjoy (Progressive), I suggest loading a few instances of it into Studio One, giving each some different processing. This will give you a much larger range of drums sounds. You could use one kit for the verse, another for the chorus (yes, I know we don't exactly make verse-chorus-verse music).
I rarely alter the pitch of any of my individual drums but don't forget that that option is always there, as is the envelope, so you can get, for instance, shorter or longer snares.
Finally: it's a mild shame that you didn't get EZ 2 as the GUI for each kit is really cool. They're rather basic and boring in Superior (but still pretty cool). It's fun watching that kit actually play away when it plays back a MIDI file, isn't it?
Progressive Nomad, smelling your lie through the smoke and arrogance
Yes, but I had 2 X-drum snares that I put on different trigger keys, making 3 separate snares you can trigger together, separate or in pairs, creating 6 or so different options, just giving me a new way to go.
I've used pitch on crashes and a snare. Only minimally, though. It gets a bit stupid sounding going too far.
on Eyes Run Aground by Evisma
Listened again I have. I didn't notice a whole lot of difference in the update. But:
1:45 bass fill now sits better.
1:46 I believe I can hear a tiny bit of vocal in there.
"You know I dig using my mouth for skat."
I do. I also know that you dig using your mouth (no spade necessary).
You get extremely high marks for "counting samples like sheep to the rhythm of his new drums." Surely your best ever sign off. Not sure how you worked that one out but it's entirely perfect. See - there's still more that can be done with MJK lines though I haven't even attempted one in quite a while.
You should write a song called Killing My Good Times. Because I'm so thoughtful, I came up with some intro lyrics for you that I feel somewhat reflect your current life situation:
Killing My Good Times
Too bad the wife lives here and has to kill my good times
Always pushing vegetables and supplements in my face
Wondering where my paycheck is
She should know it's in my wallet
That place where my dreams die every time I look inside
Add some more and send me a demo soon!
Moving to the rhythm of the moon and tide, The Indigo Nomad
"vag vacating visigoth"
Hey, don't knock the pull-out. Better than having a lady on hormone pills. Not good for their bodies.
All I did to the track was remix the bass transition you mentioned, and turned up the two leads in the second half of the track. No vocals at 1:46. They come in at 3:12, and go till the end, getting a bit louder at the end when everything is peeled away.
I was very proud of the "Counting samples...." closing. I was just watching all the samples load in SD when switching through kits and messing with X-drums. I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Just the 10 or so snares I have to pick from is awesome. I've realized that EZX does not have all the mic bleeds and striker options, when SDX has everything. I REALLY wanted Progressive Foundry, but it's $150, compared to $40 for Progressive EZX. I'm really happy with what I got and have sat and fucked with just it for several hours.
I will not be writing the Killing My Good Times song. However, in my list of song names, "Piss On You- a love song) is among the options.
I've got a very happy, bouncy riff to start my next track. I want it to go from super happy to super pissed with several increasingly aggressive sections and transitions. Once I get sections written, I'd like to leave 2 leads open for additions. We'll discuss this further elsewhere.
Evan, who's got everything he needs, toontrack keys.

on vox wox by lelandchapman
Killer beats and funky little vocal snippets. Heavy bass yet still a big, chill smoking vibe.
It's quite repetitive but that doesn't really matter, though I'd still prefer some obvious change and a neater ending.
Congrats.
on The Mersey by silverman
This has a pretty cool vibe and a really good groove and a good, solid low end thump. A really big sound. Well produced though definitely too loud, as you tend to do.
It's funky and I like the additional percussion ie the second drum kit/loop.
0:32 really not a synth sound that appeals to me. Just too silly. The longer note that it morphs into is OK but the first few notes sound too cheesy.
1:03 funky, jazzy bass guitar playing more like a guitar. Great stuff there.
2:15 good synth sound. An arp, I believe.
Overall, you're onto a winner with this as it has a cool vibe.
It actually sounds like a lot something Crucethus might make. Sample-heavy and quite a varied ride. Creative stuff.
on 8 000 BC by Anubis
This is excellent. Very powerful, ancient stuff.
My only problem with it is that I think it might be too loud. It has quite an aggressive feel.
That flute sound is very memorable and almost like a synth, a didgeridoo and a Jew's harp. 0:11 cool flute notes.
Good drum groove.
0:29 nice small bit of vocals.
0:39 another vocal in the background.
0:46 it sounds a little like Tuvan throat singing. And then the beat returns, with more vocals.
This is is ancient and mystical and creative and well produced. Very tribal music that sounds a least 2,000 years old. This is the soundtrack to a forest, a desert, a jungle.
Brilliant stuff. I wish I could make some music like this!
This is a double favourite for me.
I will be attentive to your counsels.
The flutes I use are Fujaras, and other common ones, the interesting thing is that there is a great diversity of types of flutes, I do not know many.
Sorry for the late reply.
Thank you again my friend.
With respect_Anubis.
on The Wolves by toastedavalanche
Here comes The Nomad!
Jaunty stuff here. Piano sound is a bit thin for me but then I'm very particular about piano sounds as there are lots I don't like.
0:23 powerful, low end fill before the drums enter.
0:55 there's a problem (a bit of a clash) with the ending of that lead instrument and the arrival of your voice. You could just lower the instrument's level.
Good first pair of lines (the lyrics).
Ah no - I got it wrong. I thought you sang "I feel I was enough for you". That might be a better opening line but feel free to disagree. Or agree entirely, go back and re-record it and give me a writing credit!
1:14 vocals effects are good.
1:38 the same. Very nice. Possibly a vocoder.
3:15 pluckery is effective but maybe go without the pad in the background. Or lower its volume.
Final ending is possibly a bit abrupt, should continue for 8 bars or so longer. A bit like what Mr E said. But that's only a minor quibble.
Otherwise, more of your quite distinctive, personal songwriting that's pretty well delivered.
This is kind of alternative pop music that would chart if someone like Morrissey made it.
on Hip Hop Idea by BradoSanz
This is fuckin' good from about 0.1 seconds in!
Killer groove and that lead acoustic instrument is so awesome and funky.
This is so unlike anything you've done before and shows some excellent versatility. Have you played any instruments here or is it all samples?
You singing over the top could be weird, could be great. Please develop this further.
10/10 from The Static HopMad.
I appreciate you stopping in. I have been fairly busy as of late so I haven't had time to listen to your newest tracks - though that will happen here very soon. These are all samples, I was just toying around with them in Pro Tools. I really like the sound. It will definitely be developed more, I have currently hooked the infamous JTStone to rap over it since I ooze over his voice so much. Thanks for the 10/10 - if only my looks matched my music.
From a 6/10,
Brado
on Black by Anubis
This is the first track pf yours I've heard in a long time and it's a real surprise to hear. I didn't know you had any interest in this genre of music. And I would not have expected you to make it. Are you still making your usual, ancient, ambient stuff?
Anyway: this has a very powerful sound that I have to be honest that it's not my preferred style of music.
0:40 I like the laugh there. A fun bit after that very hardcore kick drum before.
0:50 makes me think of chillout ambient music but that's not the style so I know the aggressive kick is going to return.
People will definitely dance to this. It's well produced and my only criticism is that some of the sounds are too aggressive and painful on my ears, such as the very first sound in the track. But I understand that is the style and some people really like it.
Congratulations on successfully making a completely different style compared to what you normally do. Is this genre your new direction?
I still continue to create ancient, ambient, cinematic as usual, projects that will follow the same pattern as the ones I posted a few years ago because they are styles that I really like doing, from time to time I will venture into other musical genres like Hardstyle etc.
Actually, Hardstyle is somewhat heavier, usually they are more energetic and noisy hehe, but it is normal within the genre.
Some effects are very aggressive, as you mentioned.
I'm not changing my old route, because [Cinema, Chillout, oldschool game, electronic] are my favorite styles, and soon I'll be posting like the old days.
Thank you for leaving your review.
Happy that you're still here to produce music.
Sorry the English

on Shes My Vampire by toastedavalanche
Your voice is very quickly quite recognisable, as is often the case.
0:34 synth is cool and right up Cru's street as it's early 80s synth pop (Ultravox?), in a good way. Kind of trippy and beautiful.
That synth part breaks up your verses nicely.
1:12 nice funky little synth. Makes me think of certain violin/cello parts from popular songs.
1:47 aha now you come in with your simple chorus line on top of the interesting, wailing synth. Simple and effective.
2:23 haha - very 80s toms there. Your drums have a good groove. MT Powerdrums is hardly the best bit of drum software but it sounds just fine here.
A neat little ending.
No real criticisms from me. It's just a good little song. And not dark at all, which is kind of interesting.
Glad you like it. Thanks again.

on Eyes Run Aground by Evisma
StatEyec Nomad here, running aground whilst listening to this.
As you know, I heard the first min of this a while ago but it sounds much better now. Good acoustic tone and then the drums sound great, sitting nicely in the background. The kind of drum sounds I should get into using. No complaints about the piano or bass g and this is all rather chilled and melodic but I know it has to get heavier.
1:38 riff has a nice rise to it. Bass g fill just before drums enter at 1:47 is good but I wonder if it interferes with guitar on top. Seems like a clash so things might work better without it.
And now we're rocking, with stuff being thumped in a pleasing manner. Meaty bass tone, of course.
2:37 cool cymbal fill. Would work fine without the reverse in there as well. And now some soloing though it's a bit low in the mix.
2:54 is that transition a bit too abrupt? What it goes into is cool and different for you. Very acoustic sounding and with a fun, bouncy groove. A bit like reggae before the nice 3:12 lead g comes in. And then you're getting more progressive and creative with the percussion. The kind of stuff I like to do. Another guit solo with a distorted tone and then 3:47 return of guitar is most welcome. Easily the nicest guitar sound in this. Very clean and pleasing to the ears.
Shit is fading away and then you're doing some percussive skat singing for an ending. Good stuff. I liked all of it but 2:54 to the end is the best section as it has a good sense of space and groove (and melody etc). Fix a couple of small problems and it will be a fully fledged nice track bro.
Staticgynaecological Vagmad, fidling about with vag all day.
Glad you think the intro sounds better now. Did a lot of mixing and had a lot of issues I'm still not totally happy with, but I'm happy enough.
"...stuff being thumped in a pleasing manner..."
If you are to thump, let it be a pleasing thump. That heavy section's drum part is what I've been playing with in Superior. It's loops in the track and I've been building new stuff over it, just for practice.
I like the bass fill and the abrupt transition. After reading your comment, I went in and removed the bass fill, but missed it, and messed with the transition a bit but couldn't come up with a workable idea there. I'm sure there are better ways to transition, but I always like a big contrast to recapture the ears.
"3:47 return of guitar is most welcome. Easily the nicest guitar sound in this. Very clean and pleasing to the ears."
I have issues with guitar tones. I feel I'm pretty bad at making a really pleasing tone that is chunky or a little distorted. My clean stuff is fine, just a lot of tinny, throaty or plunky sounds. Drums will sound better, gotta remedy the guitar tone. Ax Effects next purchase?
You know I dig using my mouth for skat.
I hope all is well with you, and that you told many lovely ladies that you're literally in The Vulv. I know nothings official, but the name is great, and can be endlessly referenced. One of three guys in The Vulv, not just anyone can do that.
Evan, counting samples like sheep to the rhythm of his new drums.
on The stars by smallpaul
Good chillout, jazzy grooving shit right here.
Solid beat intro plus some jangly percussion and then a tight, funky bassline. Synth bass, I guess. Nice spaces in that bassline to bring the funk out.
0:35 nice note there plus pads arriving in background. Warm and sensual.
Then warm, melodic big reverb female vocals enter and they're good. Everything sitting really well. No criticisms so far. Big sound, well produced, nice strings etc
I'm in a rush so will probably return to offer more thoughts on the rest.
Big congrats so far.
on The Joker by Madorian
This isn't really my type of music but this is actually pretty good fun and well constructed. Good stuff for getting the room moving.
0:28 laugh is cool but seems to get cut off too soon.
This also has some darkness and vibe, which I appreciate.
0:45 that's a huge riff! Great stuff.
Only a short review for now as I'm busy but I might add some more later.
Well done for making this.
On 0:28, as you saw, the laugh is cut off really soon and it makes an strange sound or scrach.
I'm really happy that you enjoyed my track :3 That inspire me to make more of this bangers :D
Also more music coming soon ;)
on Dark Brother Analogue Experiment by Tinka0
This is some pretty dark and sparse stuff. I'd have to say too sparse for my liking as I'd prefer some more obvious melody or lead parts. I'd love to hear you get grooving on some badass guitar riffs on this. I can hear them in my head.
0:48 it kicks into a pretty cool groove. Lots of ambient weirdness that is fairly disconcerting and dark. This sounds like mood music or a dark sci fi soundtrack. It would work fine in that context but I'd prefer something I can really focus on, like a more definite bassline. Or even some vocals. Rap, d'n'b mcing - that sort of stuff.
It's all well mixed and has a pretty clean sound and I feel I can hear everything but doesn't really seem to go anywhere in particular, which is why it sounds like an experiment or a demo track waiting for more to be added.
Good work, all the same.
I agree and that's why I've added some guitars!
It still needs a lot of work, I'll upload it when it's complete.
I've got a good feeling about this track so I'm throwing everything I have at it.
Oh I forgot to mention, in my last comment on your track where the lazy stoner thing is concerned what I meant was that's how I visualised the feeling/playing of the song, not in reflect to your use of effects.
on Primordial by Neomorpheus
Do the Gods like music? I don't know. I ask them every night in my prayers (all of them, it takes ages) and not one has ever replied. Bastards.
This is some nice, chilled, mysterious and mystical stuff. First guitar part is good though maybe a bit too trebley. Very minor complaint. Nice warm sub bass underneath. It's already really far out. Just what I like.
1:32 it gets dirtier. 1:41 nice, screechy bend. This has a fairly epic space rock feel. But without drums.
Is there a bit of clipping on the track, perhaps from the guitar? I seem to hear an unwanted crunch in my left ear.
Guitar gets darker and a bit more Eastern towards the end. The kind of thing I probably would have done. Very nice final floaty, synthy ending. A welcome break from the guitar as that large bass synth fades out. Excellent long fade!
Maybe the music video could be you floating in space playing loads of lead guitar as planets and meteors hurtle past you. And then you end up arriving at the God Planet, where they all live, and you ask your important question: "So, do you guys like music?" "Yeah, it's OK", they say. "Well, thanks for that deep insight, guys, you have inspired me with your wisdom", you reply before shooting off back to Earth at warp speed.
Suitably inspired by their profound answer, you quickly write the deep ambient sequel to this track: Genius Gods.
Primordial Nomad, slowly emerging from the ever-shifting depths of space and time...
on Shift by swindla007
Well, no, I didn't say that at all. But, now you mention it, something like that might help. Some extra percussion, some variety, for a start. More melody, more dynamics and so on...
I've heard this "more cowbell" phrase mentioned a lot recently (eg on this site) and didn't know what people were on about. Then I found out it was an SNL sketch featuring Christopher Walken and others. So, I watched it this morning and was rather unimpressed. It's OK but nothing special and not really good enough to become some popular cultural expression. Then again, quite a lot of rubbish gets turned into trendy phrases and popular references.
So, yeah, more cowbell on this one.
on Shift by swindla007
Some massive shit you have going on here. That's my technical analysis.
So: spooky, dark, murky intro which is OK but it's not really the proper track so I can accept that.
Bass-free drums enter and we're getting closer to the proper track. It's taking a while for this bassline to arrive.
1:23 there it is and it's a huge sound. A dirty, wobbly bass orgy. By 2 mins I think the drums have been too straight for too long. More variety would help. They sit fine, I'd just like them to do more and be less repetitive. Ah, quite a while later and they're still going, with the exact same pattern. All the fills are coming from the bass. More variety would stop the waveform from looking like a full tube of toothpaste.
I'm sure I'd enjoy this track more in a live situation but it never really goes anywhere different once it's established itself. It just fades out. I know some people will really like it just as it is but I could have done with more melody, rhythmic variety and more of a progression into something else. Because the dynamics are so flat, it never really gets anymore badass after that bassline enters. I want it to shift (pun intended) up a few gears.
Overall: I think it's decent but want it to be even moreso. And more distinctive and memorable.
on All Hallows Funk by crucethus
Intro drums are something different for you. Nice, steady tom groove then a weird vocally exclamation and some occasional, good bits of brass.
Bassline enters and stuff is building nicely now, with the drums still sitting steady. Reverse cymbal is acceptable.
1:06 quite a cool little melody.
1:35 fat beat and those big drums introduced a little earlier make more sense now. Lots of percussion in this, something we both like to do.
Rather funky wah guitar works well, as does the return of that 1:06 melody that I'm having trouble describing.
Some second wah funk g a little later. All the different elements fit well together and shit is pretty funky. Really well produced as everything is rather clear and easy to hear.
4:09 ending is fairly weird but powerful and something different as well as being very unfunky. So that's a good contrast. I would say it cuts off too abruptly right at the end but I've said it so many times before about other tracks of yours that there's probably no point mentioning it.
I didn't really hear anything spooky or related to Halloween in this. I just heard good times grooves and cheerful funk.
Take care...
on ---Ism by Tinka0
I agree with other comments that this could do with more low end and depth.
Otherwise, it's fairly badass and dirty, as is your usual style. Some decent solid drum grooves and extra little fills here and there, which make a difference.
1:11 now that's d'n'b. Nice flip into double time. Psychedelic lead is quite trippy there.
1:41-1:51 is some skilful manoeuvring of sounds to return to the earlier theme.
This would be a good weird soundtrack for a film. Or a weird late night druggy track for anyone still left in the club or mashup drug party...
I'm making this for a gig I'm playing on Halloween
Thanks for your insight dude :)
on Kurdt by superultramegaok
Pretty powerful sound you have here, with some decent, wide riffs.
0:30 things get better with that second, higher guitar.
0:57 nice drumless break. Guitar there reminds me quite a bit of one of the most distinctive lead parts from Pixies' utter classic Where Is My Mind?
1:29 that's a cool repetitive lead. Quite psychedelic and hypnotic.
There's something slightly flat and not quite right about the drums here though I'm having difficulty explaining why. If I work it out, I'll let you know.
Congrats...
on Burned Demo by AbhishekVerma
This is some pretty decent rock music, even though it is short/a work in progress.
Which software are you using for drums? I use Superior and EZ Drummer by Toontrack.
There's a cool lead sound in here. Not sure if it's a synth (probably) but it also has some slide guitar qualities.
Actually, I don't think there's any guitar here - just synths. Gives it a different feel, which I like.
Congrats!
FPC native plugin (FL studio) - Drums
Lead - Massive vst
Distortion - native plugin called Slayer ( FL studio )
with some EQ-ing.
and yes i used just synth.
on Electro swing club remaster by Jkingz
Nice, bouncy piano intro and the sound is powerful from the start. Nice, swinging ride cymbal.
0:14 cool lead. Which instrument is that?
Then some good lead piano work and then the fat kick enters to put this more firmly in the electro dance swing genre.
1:20 new glockenspiel (?) instrument. That piano's been going on for a long time but it hasn't quite got boring yet. Probably because you're dropping other instruments in and out.
Ah good that the piano drops out by 2:30 for a brief drum solo. And then it's back. Would have been better if it had come back in some slightly different way. Maybe a modified chord and/or different piano sound.
Overall: classy stuff.

The right panned vocal is strange choice but it gives things a different character. I'd definitely centre it but maybe just leave it as it is.
I like the very first organ notes and then the 0:11 hummed vocal. Maybe violin mixed in too there?
Then classic hip hop beats and this is all very atmospheric. Good, poetic vocal.
0:46 sort of harp I recognise from somewhere else. Where does it come from?
1:09 very cool violin, I think. Lovely tone.
This would be fine as an instrumental.
2:25 why does the vocal get louder at this point?
Anyway, great stuff. Except I hate the alarm clock at the end - just because I hate that sound! But I understand why it's there...
