on Thermal Days by Planetjazzbass
Ohh the sounds in the intro are absolutely Hollywood. There is some phasing going on with the acoustic guitar and the same guitar sounds a bit thin.

Anyways beside that small detail...love the bass...the fretless has it's persona sometimes and it works here perfectly. I like the sound of that snare, almost like a Slingerland Classic.

Well I think the song describes perfectly freedom. I don't know why but for some reason that's where my mind want's to go now maybe because of the up-tempo sound.

Cheers!

on Malaysia by ThaSuspect
Hahaha! Yeah! Man the vocals remind me of a smoother Damien Marley.

I've always liked your stuff. Very well arranged and performed. If I remember correctly I even saw a video from you on youtube...might be wrong so don't take my word for it.

Anyways I didn't quite like the low end of the beat as that bass was kinda taking away some of the punch.That kick could have been a bit more punchy to drive it more.

Still an A+ effort so props for that. And man the vocals are absolutely amazing. Love the accent.

Cheers!

on just the music by rei4real
I was telling Elaine in a review about how playful I hear Funk, well obviously that is very emphasized here by the synth in the back however the bass takes it on a darker side and sets the groove and kinda makes you move.

Really like the arrangement, maybe a change in the drums would have made a bit of difference on that synth solo, something a bit more aggressive and dirty.

Takes my mind to same track I kept hearing on the radio but I can't remember the exact title.....

That bass is phenomenal..

on Paused by Phyruis
Yeah you are right the bass is to low listening back through some old monitors. It's low even on the main speakers...i think a different sound would have worked better for the bass...something a bit more around the midrange or low-mids

I really liked the dark breakdown although I'm not a big fan of glitch or DnB this could easily go in a movie. Very NIN style.

thanx for taking the time brother.. I cut the bass with a filter cutting off everything above 60hz and EQed it in the same way... I think it is just a matter of re-EQing as I do like the depth of the bass...

it can be quite deceptive though because I have a sub (which is cranked )I'm vibrating when I listen..cheers for the feedback brother..

thank you once again

on It AinT My faULT by internationalstats
Nice! Wasn't expecting it! Impressive flow and a very good song arrangement!

The song however could benefit from a better mix. The low end is boomy and boxy and the kick gets lost in there, it's also very thin. You could pan some sounds in there or widen them to give the track a bit more dimension. The vocals could be a bit more controlled during the verses.

Overall the song it's definitely going into my favs love the dark sound and the flow.

Cheers!

on Resting Gently Alone by santiagosky
No no no! Not Evanescence but Santiagosky! You've got your own sound! I think you should stick to the genre...you've got a good chance of making a breakthrough!

The track is nicely arranged and professionally performed!

on I Do by FullCapicityMuzic
Ohh yeah! This is another great effort! You've got some amazing collabs going on lately! Sounds very good on my laptop.

There are minor tweaks that could be done with the compression but I can't trust these speakers.

Musically it's perfect and the performance is outstanding.

on Aint No Sunshine Muzic and Prod by NUADA by FullCapicityMuzic
Now this song is one of my all time favs. I gotta admit this version makes the original sound as the cover. A fabulous effort no actually more than fabulous and I'm gonna stop commenting now as my vocabulary does not have such high praise words in it and I might make it sound as it ain't as big and awesome as it really is.

Instant fav and going straight to the Hall Of Fame.

on Rock the Joints ft Harutune Chase Manhattan by ChaseManhattan
A bit muffled on the vocals. Some high end boost would be good to get it out a bit and to add some presence. A pop filter would also be good.

The track is pretty fire and in places it takes you back in the era of Snoop and Nate Dogg. Pretty good effort.

on Halleluyah by Mirsi
Amazing effort! The sound is fabulous! I would have panned a bit the electric guitar to leave that middle part for the singer.

Smooth work once again on the drums. I felt the drums are a bit to buried in the mix and maybe a bit to much reverb on them but it might be a personal preference, anyways ion my opinion they lose a bit of punch and clarity with that reverb on it.

Still had to fav this track. Very impressive effort.

Mirsi replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Yeah, I did a lot of reverb on drums on purpose, because in original there is no drumming, and I try to do some "drama", and to make the skin bristled...I think I did it ....:p

on Diana King - Aint nobody (cover by SyFy band) by Mirsi
MMM...now this is something! Smooth cymbal work...I like that. Nice sound on the snare....kinda sounds like a Slingerland going through a Trident A-Range... but it's probably something else.

I really like the ride and cymbal work...fabulous effort. And that voice is freakin' amazing.

This one is heading into the Favorite category! Thanks for sharing!

on Yet another on, but last one by Mirsi
Ahhh..now this is funky! The rhythm is awesome, very catchy and addicting.

A bit to mono for my taste as i think some width would've helped it a lot and it would have created a different atmosphere and space around it.

Still pretty awesome drums.

Mirsi replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
You are right. Very mono... I was so into this loops (guitars and vocals), that I recorded and mixed thi in 2 hours or so...

on Awaken Within by WeaverBard
Ohh yeah now this can easily drift into cinematic. In my opinion it's a bit dry for such a track, and I think that a touch of reverb would help glue the things together.

Very very cool tho, there is a lurking emotional charge in there and I like how the whole track revolves around that feeling...letting out bits of hope here and there.....quite impressive.

As I've said it could easily go in a movie without any problems.
Fabulous effort. Faved!

on Timeless (Instrumental) by TheDreamMerchant
Very cool sound! I like the chilled out vibe and that sample works wonders.

The drums a re pretty good but the kick is a bit boxy. Would have been a bit better with some vocals on top of it, at least that's what I think.

Pretty good!

on CHicago CUBA AFRICA by singletone
A bit funky in my opinion! Interesting however!

I like those vocal stabs. I'm not sure about the panning on this one. A bit to centered you know....a bit of panning and some clever use of reverb would have made it some good!

Still pretty Funky track!

on Olesya Astapova - I Love You by OlesyaAstapova
Very very interesting! I like the way you've managed to get such a deep vibe with the way the vocals are performed and the backing track.

I feel there is a bit to much reverb on the vocals and it makes them a bit unclear. But a fabulous effort!

Instant fav! Amazing voice!

on When My Frequencies Attack by boparadigmx
I like the sound! Very smooth and pretty well recorded. I don't really agree with the space of the song as it's a bit to centered and I think some widening would have been a good thing, you know some panning among other techniques.

The solo guitar has a couple of spots where it distorts, probably was recorded that way.

Overall it's definitely a good track.

on Bobing by Crysto
I like the chilled intro! Nice way of evolving on the edgy sound afterwards.

Nice hihats...I like how you've used them. Basic rhythm but very effective. At the moment it seems the track is focusing more on the drums but I think it could work well if you'd back them a little and add a longer reverb to the snare to make it a bit more ambient.

Anyways a very cool track and definitely not what I was expecting!

Cheers!

on Gonna start on my own by Phyruis
Nice approach! Very dark vibe all around it! I really like how you've incorporated more styles into it. I can hear some dubstep influences in there as well as some ambient ones.

Definitely a good audition and a fabulous use of the stereo width. The track has depth and a good sense of space so major props on creating that cause it's pretty hard to achieve.

You've made me fav it!

on ATLANTA Houswives by singletone
Definitely packing some heat. The track is a bit dry. That rhodes could use a good reverb to smooth it out!

You've got a nice touch on the keyz that's for sure, for some reason you've took my mind to B. Cox.

Keep up the work!

on RainbyMUSICiZmylif by singletone
Really nice track you've got rolling here! I'm not really sure about that kick in there, I think it might sound better if it would have a bit more punch behind it.

I think the main problem is the absence of bass which is the glue between the high and the low end.

The track itself is definitely old-school. It could use a bit more width however to make it a bit more impressive.

A very good effort however and definitely sounding pro.

Thanks for the heads up!

on Dj Kokroach feat Bonafide Cant Shake Me by DjKokroach
Very nice sounding track! It has a very anthem like sound. To bad the vocals sound a bit thin!

But really a fabulous effort. This would be amazing with a proper and powerful vocal in there.

Very good sound that's for sure!
