on Rebels coming outta the hills ft Grotesk by ultrabase
I wasn't expecting this that's for sure! I can't really agree with the vocals production but maybe the pella is like that. A bit buried in there.

The feeling is totally awesome. The bass drives my 15"'ers like crazy.

The track is a true testament of the power of the reggae influence and it represents very well their sound.

Instant fav and download so that I can bang it in my car!

Thanks for sharing!

on Hush Feat Tre P by J1K
Nice one! I've got a pair of 15 inchers around here and they wanna smash my windows! Nice low end!

The vocals sound a bit thin, I don't know exactly why but I think some 330Hz boost would be good maybe even some boost around the 1kHz area.

Anyways a very nice switch in style and a freakin' cool song.

on That Good Shh Feat Tre P by J1K
Once again that old-school vibe! I think the vocals need to come just a bit up in volume to be slightly on top of the beat. Use 2 compressors on the vocals bus. One with a slow attack and higher compression ration to take care of the overall levels and the second with a fast attack to catch those peaks. It will bring it out brilliantly.

Again I think the kick drum needs more punch. It kinda gets lost once the track starts and everything comes in there.

Cheers!

on Do It For The Love Feat Tre P by J1K
Darn 40 plays and no reviews!

I think that boomy sound is because of the bass in the sample. To be perfectly honest I would have loved that kick to be a bit more powerful and drive that track harder. You could try some parallel compression just on the kick or use something like Slate Trigger to trigger some filtered 909's on a parallel channel. That will help that low end a lot.

The sound of the vocals is very good and i like the way they go with the track. I think they could use a bit more volume tho as they get a bit buried here and there. Overall it's old-school from start to end and that's a good thing.

on In The Heat Of The Night (Cover) by MarieDailly
Not my cup of these this genre but i gotta admit you've recreated that exact period of time incredibly well.

Joyful wave did a fabulous work on this one. I do agree with Nuada that the vocals should come a bit up and lower a bit the level of the reverb just a bit to bring the vocals upfront.

I really like the saturated sound of that kick, almost a perfect emulation of the tape sound. I still can't believe how well this is produced, almost feel like you guys turned back the hands of time!

This one gets faved!

Thanks Malu!
yup, my vocals weren't great, but I'd just started recording, & was so nervous, lol! I recorded it on my laptop!!
But I hope to redo it at some point since I now have decent equipment & my personal producer, lol!
TBH, I NEVER thought I'd ever do a dance track,(not my preferred genre either, but dont tell JW, I live with him, lol!) but I like the song, so it was a new experience for me!
Thanks
Marie :D

on Dreaming A Dream (with Mark Cloutier) by MarieDailly
Ohh my i love the roomy feel on the overall track! I like the way you've interpreted the vocals and you kinda became a part of the actual song.

I don't really agree with the reverb on the vocals cause it's a bit to roomy in my opinion. I think a shorter plate combined with a wide room would have made a better impact on your voice and would have helped a bit the clarity.

I do however love the way you interact with that guitar...and it does make it sound as if this was recorded at a live performance.

Lol! Thank you Malu!
This was a dream to do, but you'll guess that I dont understand the techy stuff, lol! If you mean it's a bit too echoey, I agree! :)
I spend quite a whileon the lyrics & getting the right vocal melody for Mark's guitar track, which I loved before he let me muck around with it!
Live? Hmm, thanks, just the effect I hoped for! :)

on Childrens Hope (New Master) by JoyfulWAVE
Interesting use of the vocals of the kids. The track sounds good and it somehow reminds me of a few artists in the trance area, probably has more influences in it then I would have expected.

Not my cup of tea this genre but a fabulous effort.

The vocals are sounding great and I think you've made a professional job over here!

on Darling Where Did You Go (Anomoly Jonez) by Salook
Oh man this is a fabulous effort! I gotta thank Abe for bringing me here!

The track kinda reminds me of Mount Eden it's just that this is a bit better!

I like the eerie sound and the dark vibe that you've got going as well as the drums. Those are pure gold!

I think you've found a great style to fit AJ's vocals! I had to fave you know!

Amazing work!

on Sand in my eyes by daniellouismusic
Again the first thing you notice is the amount of reverb on the track. A bit to much!

The drums and percussion is amazing. The guitar is sounding very good it's just to buried in the mix.

The vocals sound thin and i don't know if it's a bad mic or if it's the processing that make it like that.

The sound itself brings a bit towards Welcome to the machine by Pink Floyd with all the backing vibrations taking place.

P.S. I just uploaded a different song acoustic just my martin and my SQ8 I used very little re verb as I did on many, many songs,Title Been Hear Far To Long, also a number 1 song on sound click years ago. perfect mix and master and very different from the others remember 2000 songs its hard to know witch ones to post, also did you hear my film score 'battle of the Redeemed' I am using it in an Independent film I am doing, so check those two out, esp. song one, less re verb and you will see what I can do as far as versatility OK, I also have a short free e-book I published with many insider tips on how to make on line sales, break into film music AND tuns of good tips and ideas

on CRAZY THING by PALLASO
Definitely a great sound going on and very suited for your vocals. Amazing performance.

I would have liked some of the backing instruments a bit wider to make a bit more room in the middle as it sounds a bit strange with everything gathered in the middle.

Overall it definitely sounds amazing with your vocals. I love that percussion.

Keep up the good work!

The vocals are awesome and they sound good in the track.

on Pride and glory by Kikajon
HAhhaha the first to play it!

I love the intro! The verse part is definitely interesting and i like the sustained vibe it has.

There are definitely some influences in it...from rock to country and blues I think you've got them all. Nice riffs that's for sure! Very well balanced on both side before the solo, tho honestly i would have loved the actual solo in the middle and a bit more defined.

Well can't wait for the finished product that's for sure!

Hehe, thank you Malu! There's a bunch of influences – I've listened to lots music and I'm sort of glad it shows.
You're right about the solo guitar, and I will adjust it when I get my friends parts.

on Im In The Hood Yeah by PLUCK4EVA
Ok ok now this might be something! Sounding really nice!

The vocals are a bit to dry and upfront as if it's just the raw recording. Some power would be good behind those drums and behind some of the backing elements you know to beef it up a bit!

But definitely a fabulous effort and a pretty good sound.

on Lights On by bostonredsoxfreak
The drums! Where are the drums? Lol! Yeah you should definitely work on defining the drums a bit as they get buried in there.

The brass section is extremely well put together however it's to centered. The strings have the same problem. You gotta leave that middle space available for the vocalist.

If you widen the brass and the strings you'll get a bigger sound and definitely have a lot of room in there for the drums and anything that might come after wards.

on All The Time ft Harutune by ChaseManhattan
The vocals are a bit to boomy and that makes them sound a bit semi-processed.

The drums could use some oomph cause they are kinda shy in there and sound small like one of those mini sets. Lol.

The track is pretty nice and the flow is awesome just a couple of tweaks here and there and it's all done.

on bla bla bla by ditsch
Welcome back again Dizzy! Lol! Anyways it does sound like Dezentral and the style is the same! Cool sound to be honest.

Nice punchy low end, tho I would have loved a bit more punch on the kick(it might be personal preference).

I think the vocals could have been a bit wider but they sound good as they are also so nothing major.

Still an epic work!

Best wishes!

on new project by sethy31
Nice fast paced track and cool use of the pianos. Some attention on the mix would be good however. The snare disappears here and there when things get to clouded and the toms are way to boxy and boomy.

The guitars are sounding a bit muffled so I'd suggest boosting some of the high end a bit. And bring those drums up a bit.

on love thing by DerrickSarp
I gotta agree it does sound good. The drums are interesting and the backing synths are great as well, if only there would be a vocal line on it.

Some attention on the mixing would be good but overall it's pretty good.

on Flying Solo by Dvickers
Another fabulous effort! Your voice is definitely excellent.

I would have liked some hihats on the Flying Solo part as it would have added to the depth and emotion of that part. Your voice sounds a bit nasal...did you filter some of the high end in there?....

Overall a very good effort but there could be some improvements on the mixing side of things.

Excellent breakdown...wasn't expecting that.

Best wishes!

on Its Not That Easy by Dvickers
You've got a lot of talent and definitely a good voice. Some work would help on the production, well actually the mixing side of things. in the chorus however some more punch would be needed. It's just a bit empty.

The vocals could use a smooth stereo echo to add some vibe. The drums could also use a bit of tweaking to get some punch behind them.

Still an A+ production!

Of to your next one!

I couldn't hear the kick! The track could be good as your flow is unstoppable and very good but the production needs work.

Good effort tho!

After listening to this track again I honestly doubt you need any advice on recording :)).

There is no need for anybody to tell you anymore that you've got a Golden voice I think you already know that.

Faved and going in my Hall of Fame!

on Older Now by laceycruse
Impressive voice! I like the sound of the guitar however I would have loved some better mixing on it. Get that guitar wider to allow the vocals to breathe and you'll have something extremely great sounding.

I do love the emotion however! Amazing is not a big enough word to describe what you've done here!

Congrats and thanks for sharing it with us!

on Produced By RayZenMusic Profane by Profane24
Way to loud! The perceived loudness is out of the meters and the kick is distorting! Well anyways that's technical data!

I was honestly expecting some rap on top of it as it would have sweetened the track out. There is a sample in there or a synth that's out of tune.

With some work and a vocal it could head somewhere!
