on If I Aint Got You of coverMuzicIzMee4Ever by acidic
There are some serious key issues here. The vocals don't match the melody and the rhythm. Maybe it would have sounded better if you wouldn't have thrown the vocals in there.

on My Heart on Redial by stephenfewell
SO I hit play and jumped about middle way through thew song...heard the vocals and hit replay and replay and replay.

WOW! Very vintage sound! That organ was pure ear candy!

Excellent song and a very good mix!

The only thing that bothered me was the occasional "S" sound on the reverb which was kinda harsh on my ears. Add a de-esser or just dampen the response of the reverb and you have a classic here.

Cheers!

on Drop It Hard SHOKHER REMIX by SHOKHER
Ohh man I said I won't listen to dubstep again but here I am again.

The first thing I've noticed was the clustered feel of the track, mainly because of the lack of high-end. I'd suggest you adjust a bit that high end on relevant instruments and you'll be amazed at how good and punchy the result will be.

The kick could also benefit from some punch and that bass would sound awesome if it would be a bit wider to fill the stereo field, now that would give you a mind blowing experience.

Still I gotta say I loved the track and it's going into my favs. I think dubstep has gotten a bit generic at the moment and commercial but this definitely stepped outside that line.

Props mate!

on Your Wish is Your Command by Zenia
Ah Symphonic rock or better said symphonic metal are bands like Nightwish, Within Temptation and such.

And about those pitch issues as far as I can see the problem lies in the fact that you don't hit the note instantly and rather hit a sharp or flat and then rapidly correct it, it is very subtle although I make it sound so obvious.

As I said in my earlier review you have a very good tone and definitely keep working on your voice.

Respectfully,

Malu

Oh. I will check them out, thank you so much for your feedback.
I heard pitch issues as well.. I had hoped no one would notice. ;) haha. No but really, I am currently re-doing the vocals. I can hear it, it's not at all subtle to me. You're totally right.
Check out The Flight and tell me if my voice is okay there, I also got a new mic which helps. :) Thank you!

on Your Wish is Your Command by Zenia
Well with the risk of sounding harsh...why didn't you fix those pitch issues? I don't like those slides at all.

Besides technical issues I think you have an absolutely great voice and I'd actually suggest you'd try symphonic rock tracks, you've got a bit of Tarja Turunen's tone in your voice and I really think it would work out perfectly.

My advice...get a good mic and sing to the fullest of your potential cause you've got plenty of it.

Best wishes!

Zenia replied 26th Nov 2011 - 13 years ago
I didn't fix the pitch issues because I just got the mic and was figuring it out.... but I wasn't patient enough to wait till I figured it out I had just to just tape it! Yea, I know, my voice kinda has huge pitch issues... but i'm actually in the process of re-taping it now!

Thank you for the compliments, but seriously I really appreciate the constructive criticism, because I really need to hear it to know what to improve! :)

I have a yeti blue big guy, I just didn't use it properly.
I've never heard of symphonic rock... unless I have and I didn't know it! Any recommendations to get an idea of what it is?

Thank you! :)

on Propuesta by Lgranera
Ahh pero claro que si!

I've always loved the sound of musicians with spanish/latin vibes. Fabulous sound. I really liked the somewhat funky arrangement.

The mix is also very good not perfect but very very good.

Gonna have to bookmark your page and keep waiting for new songs from you.

Best wishes!

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..

hey ... thx Mahloo!!!
maybe you're right about the solo part, and I'm not sure if the sound for the solo could be a better one ...
but thx a lot for taking the time to listen!!!
well appreciated ...

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.

Phyruis replied 21st Nov 2011 - 13 years ago
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!

The track is nicely arranged and professionally performed!

on If I Aint Got You Cover by FullCapicityMuzic
Why is it that every time I try to come around your song pang a bunch of bodyguards throw me around like a used T-Shirt...ahh you're a Star..that's why.

Epic performance! Your voice is fabulous and one can tell you know what you are doing.

I do have a couple of suggestions however. The backing vocals could be a bit wider to create a bit of space. The lead vocal has a bit to much body (250-400Hz area) and it makes it sound a bit raw.

However this is def going in the hall of fame. Hats of in front of both of you. Great effort.

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.

-Malu-

Mirsi replied Unknown
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.

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!
