Nice guitar.. Like the whistling lead, has a cool flow when it plays with the guitar.

Nice change up with the piano and that lead. Good use of effects, nothing sounds over pushing. I think the less active sections with more space allows the flow to push in an interesting way. Sounds clear and heavy.

Cool idea with this one, Thanks for sharing. Peace.

on Something New Instrumental by Venuslove

Title showed me a true new road and I find this new something, the open spaces is a nice playing field. You've confirmed to me that by using these lil melodies go a long way, less is more for the voices to be added. Kind of retro feeling because it takes me way back to a time way different.

Hope you find the right collab for this, smooth with it. Thanks for sharing, good as is too. Peace.

on The Difference by AmirGabriel

Agree with what has been said, you're on the right road. You can definitely boost the vocals using what you got already, Audacity. Under effects in Audacity there are two options you can try to make the vocals more up stage with the beat, 1 is to select the vocal track separately by clicking on its track detail panel to the left of the waveform for your pella track (if you loaded it separately) go to the effects tab menu at the top of audacity find the plugin called "Equalization" With that you can get them closer in sound. Currently sounds like your too apart from the level of the instrumental. Another way is find the effect plugin called "DJ EQ" which also helps as the 1st way which these two should come pre installed with that program. I've used it many times and helped me bring up my mixes to a more 'closer fitting'. Hope that's some help regarding bringing up the feel of the vocals with the instrumental. Also agree some reverb would make the sound have some nice atmosphere to make it shine or vibe along. If you do re do the vocal take try what I mentioned with it as well. Might be what you need until you get some new music toys. Cool share nonetheless. Thanks. Had me listening to your words and seeing your poetic paintings. Keep going. Peace.

on Beyond the Glass by mathivus

Woah! M, this is really great and EPIC. Good placement of the sections, builds tension in such a smooth way, SOE.

I hear this working really nice as symphonic metal, will you be doing the vocals? I think your tone could fit well with this type of music.

What you have layered this far gets the right atmosphere harnessed. I enjoy making epic kind of loops, may I give it a try and provide some loops for you to use with this if interested?

Wanted to try some guitar and piano pieces. Have some thoughts about some extra stabs of string and percussion pieces as well.

Thanks for sharing with us, good ideas and music here. Peace!

mathivus replied 25th Feb 2015 - 10 years ago

Thank you, that is exactly what I am aiming for this song in particular, a symphony metal.

I already have lyrics and plan on doing the vocals.

If you want to test it out and link me when you're done, that's perfectly fine.

Thank you again.

on A Little Bit Of Infinity by StaticNomad

Hey man, I like how you kept this one closer together with all the sounds. Gave each section a good amount then move on, transitions are great. Endless ideas but I thought you gave it a good limit for the site, more than enough to keep me listening a good amount of times again.

That ending section is memorable for sure. Wasn't expecting that to come from you though I am sure you have way more stuff to be heard. I actually enjoyed from beginning to end and all the sounds you have playing as is. Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing man. Things sound all good, how you been? Peace.

StaticNomad replied 12th Feb 2015 - 10 years ago

Hi. Glad to hear you felt I kept the sounds closer together on this one as that's what I was going for. That's why I didn't really understand Soundhound vaguely talking about it taking a left turn and hitting a brick wall or something.

I've done that much more in other tracks and somettimes that's the idea - to find a way to introduce something interesting and surprising that somehow is made to fit.

But I established the sound palette on this in the first few minutes and then kept using the same sounds, whilst occasionally introducing some complementary ones as things progressed. I don't think the slide solo is out of place. I tied things together a lot using the same drum loops (the first one you hear in particular). Even though there are something like 10-15 drum loops in this, I've tried to choose ones that are kind of similar.

I'm fascinated by the choice and collection of instruments used on a track. Once you've established them, I find you can kind of do anything with them and it doesn't sound too strange. Even if that collection of instruments is pretty strange, once you've let the listener know that's the sonic world they're in, you can just keep exploring different combinations of them.

As written in other replies, I came up with jazz and metal whilst making this but decided to take those sections out and make a crazy jazz metal track. I guess I could have made it work here but it would have been pretty bizarre and I preferred to stay focused on this more beautiful chill dance trip rather than getting jazzy, heavy and dark. Jazz and metal "aren't supposed" to be mixed but I'm confident I can make it work though I can't say when it'll be done as I'm currently working on something else.

The end section (last 90 secs) is merely a return to a previous string melody, Rhodes and drum loop that are all already in the track - no new elements. I could listen to that section for hours! All the same, I had to end it after a while as I try hard these days not to make things too long. It's still way too long for some people but I do understand that many people have short attention spans. I don't make music for those kinds of people!

"I am sure you have way more stuff to be heard"

I never really know how much more stuff I have! Hopefully a lot but I don't know if I'm capable of succesfully producing all the things I want to. I don't play enough instruments, for a start, so need to do something about that. Might start playing electric cello soon as I'm trying one out hopefully tomorrow.

Good to hear from you.

Take care.

on Valvedriven by StaticNomad

Your missing the metal vocals! Oh the screaming so pleasantly chilling with this as I listen. 1:20 - 4:10 is where I imagine valvedriven's atmosphere similarity. 4:10 and remaining time is MadDriven. Still sounds like one of your tracks at the same time. This time you're not drifting off, you're specifically taking off with something to say. Great capture of the those rapid thoughts, the anger sharks are swimming in my head and I'm having fun listening to this. I think you could make something very cool with this style you've captured here for real. Thanks for letting me hear this. Peace.

StaticNomad replied 16th Jan 2015 - 10 years ago

Word up, DI.

Good to hear you like this heavier trip from me. Hey, I still managed to get some good chilling in there.

Yes, 1:17 to 4:10 is the chill middle most reminiscent of Valvedriver. Basically, it was the addition of the choir vocals that made me think of his stuff. They were also the big catalyst for working out where to take this track and how make it go heavy again so I just had to dedicate it to him.

Oh sure - someone could add vocals to this. Though they'd have to be good! But, as always, I try hard to make my instrumentals sound great without vocals. I decided a long time ago that I didn't want people to say "Yeah, sounds good but could do with some vocals".

I've kind of failed if you're wishing for something else to be there. Track needs to work as it is though I guess you're saying "Vocals would be nice" rather than saying it's desperately lacking them.

Yes, after 4:10 it goes crazy and doesn't really let up until the end. While chillout grooving is my main thing, I'd say I'm also quite good at mental crazy heavy where everything goes wild. Done that in loads of tracks though they're not all metal.

Thanks again.

Wsup Monsterovich (haha that is very very cool name) I would call this a soundtrack music. The 1st min is your standard orchestral, the 2nd however is where the power is.
