on the rapper by kingz28
It's too bad that Club isn't a genre choice on here because that's definitely what this is. I love the Housey beat on this and how it matches perfectly with the lyrics. And those were pretty dope too (I laffed my bolz off at the Borat line). And am I mistaken or did ya use some slight vocoding on this? And my third fav part of the song was the Pizzi. Def bangin stuff here mate. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on DJ-onny - Sound absorber by jonnyh4
Given it's short length is it safe to assume that this isn't finished yet? I'm thinkin this track has alotta potential and I like how this has a kinda DJ Dado mixed with trance vibe to it. This is givin me some ideas. Like I'm thinkin that it needs a nice and juicy pad isolated bridge. To give it a kind of Epic Trance edge. And then BOOM work your way back into everything else, including the pad and maybe add a slightly offset and diminished copy of the synth to give the illusion of a direct echo on 'em. Keep workin at it mate, yer on the right path. Later on!
on Dance Hop by alpha1
Given it's short length is it safe to guess that this isn't done?
Hmm, I'm gonna suggest that ya throw alot more diversity in this because it kinda gets repetitive. Maybe throw in some breaks here and there, definitely add some bass, add some pads, and include some effects loops to round out the mix. Keep workin at it mate, you'll get it. Later on!
on Beat DeeP Beep (BDB) by DaBro
The second vocal sample on this reminded me of the one announcer in that club with Sean Paul as the head guy on Def Jam Vendetta: Fight For NY. And I'll def agree the beats on this were classic old skool. I liked the way ya broke away from the beat with that one synth sequence and then eased back into 'em. Later on!
on Deli Roll by DJCP1
Cool xylophone like synth sequence (or were they percs?) ya had on this. I dug that and the vocals of the guy singin the most on this. The beat on this kinda reminds me of some of the stuff by KJ Sawka (check him out if ya haven't before, his song Subconnectors is awesome).
Ooh, I just had a thought- I dunno if you've checked him out, but the member on here Mr.Doll has some pretty sweet acapellas that might fit really well with this song. And if ya wanna add some dynamic to the singing part another member, DJ Aerith has some acapellas that're somewhat similar to the stuff currently on here though in a higher octave. Anyways, good stuff here mate. Later on!
on Voyage To The Cosmos by YukonSleemanakaYukMC
Got kinda sidetracked before with somethin so this is like play 1 all over again, haha. Anyways, I'm thinkin that this is Fusion. Though I'll def agree that it has that primal edge to it. Kinda like KMFDM without vocals. Oh, and that one flutey synth on here reminded me of old NES games (can't think of one in particular, but it has that vibe, Double Dragon maybe). Anyways, I think this track would be killer if you could hook up with someone to play some nasty super distorted Guitars. To give it a kinda Rammstein/Prodigy feel. Cool stuff mate. Lates!
on COLD ROCKIN by iveza
This one feels more like rock to me than it does the other, but either way it's pretty motivating. The kinda track that grabs ya by the pants and gets you moving. Hmm, I'm thinkin you might really dig the band Hard Knox (if ya haven't heard 'em before, they've got similar stuff). Nice concept mate. Later on!
on Transtep by stepz01
As for the song, I think it's a pretty cool concept. I absolutely love trying to mix different styles together. Fusion is one of the best genres (oh, and if this is a mix of the two then that's what this would be BTW). Anyways, I'm thinkin it was a successful blend because the way the synth and the drums interact is great. So beyond that annoying buzz this is a pretty nice song. Later on!
Im not getting that buzz.
Thanks for the comment and yeah fusion stlyes are cool
on miao romance final by dliwehtfollac
Ya deleted it? Man that stinks! Had I reviewed it before? For some odd reason the vox on this sound super familiar. Hmm, dunno was it in a different genre before?
Anyways, the Sitar on this reminds me of the episode of Futurama where Bender develops an addiction to 'jacking in' (or was it 'juicing')... It was the episode where they went to see the Beastie Boys perform. Cool mix mate. Later on!
on wild sax final by dliwehtfollac
Hey mate, dunno if it's just my speakers, but this sounds like it's on the verge of clipping. So ya might wanna knock back their levels in your program's mixer.
The way this starts kinda reminds me of that song by Dee-lite (Groove is in the Heart, I think). And when paired with the drums it just gave me a wicked idea to chop this up some to give it kind of a breaks vibe, ya know. Especially considering that ya threw in some scratch loops on here, making it all the more sweeter, ay. And this is gonna sound a lil odd, but this reminds me of the way my best friend Mike use to mix music (there's a similar flavor about this). Anyways, just fix that one mastering thing and this'll be golden. Later on!
(Update).
Hey mate, I just added something to the "Production Trickbook" thread that ya might wanna check out. Though I did forget to cover what levels were (haha, my bad). Basically, levels refer to the volume level that your tracks/channels play back at. Typically, they can be controlled via the program's Mixer application.
So if your drums were on channel one and they seemed to overpower the vocals or something all you'd have to do is go in and drop down it's volume until it matches up with the other (or just plays back better). Or you can go the other way with it, if the vocals were on channel 6 then you could just go there and bump up their level until it started to sound okay. Just experiment with it and you'll get the hang of it. Lates again.
PS. you can delete this last part if you want.
update...i tried adjusting the levels...could u rereview? i think i understand what u mean
btw....what does clipping mean?
thanks
on Polyglot Pidgin by n0mad23
You know what's funny? For some odd reason the drums on this are remindin me of that one scene in the Disney film Peter Pan (where the Indians are chanting around the fire, 'poly-wala-gunda, poly-waly-gunda...').
Where as the synth in this reminds me of the way cubes of ice float around in a glass of water as they melt or are stirred around. And... I don't know how they pair up...
Maybe like one of those african tribal hunter/warriors running along a dirt path in some mineral water commercial?
Anyways, pretty interesting stuff here and in a way I wanna call it a sister track of one I did, entitled R2's Dream (which was a sister track to one that Mokeone did, blanking on the name now though). Cheers!
on Factory Gnome Midnight Party by n0mad23
Maybe this is one of those odd Twilight Zone moments, but I'm pickin up similarities in the grooves with the other song of yours I just reviewed. Coz the vision of the faux mineral water ad carries over to this one. Perhaps it's the beat and closeness of the tonal patterns of the synth?
Like the former had more of a emphasis on leads where this one focuses more on the pads and percs?
Anyways, I think what makes this track stand out are the above mentioned pads and the long winding bass you used on this. Gives it an almost globular feel (think lava lamps). And for visual purposes, that's great in lending itself to making spectacular visuals for a performance. It'd be kinda interesting to see how this would play on Windows Media Player with the visualizer set to random. Or one could just have a blast creating stuff for it on-the-fly. Cool stuff mate. Later on!
on Tecknock by BabiBing
Hey mate, sounds like ya might wanna work on adjusting the levels in this because it sounds like some of the stuff is on the verge of clipping (mainly on the low end, which is easy on Magix). Sounds like either the bass and/or the kick drum is comin on too strong.
Very apt name though. I can see people stompin it out doin the Melbourne Shuffle to this. Though given its time is it safe to guess that it isn't finished yet? It'd be kinda nice to see how this would progress out. Nice start mate. Later on!
As you see Im still learning.. a Lot!
and yeah ur right, it's kinda short
who knows maybe I will do a 'club' version ;)
on No Blo by GM8
Don't ya just love it when little experiments turn into full blown projects and songs? I think the only thing that's better is when accidents give way to masterful creation.
Anyways, I think my favorite part of this were all the bass sequences going on here. They def had my head bobbin. And I also liked when ya had that xylophone sounding thing come in to match 'em. Cool stuff here. Thanks for sharing mate. Later on!
I like making experimantal music soon il post an nother song like this, the idea i had was to make an album whit this kind of music so keep a look out for more of this!!
Peace
on Ultimate Tecno by shinbaku
Okies mate, the lil transition part with the scream sounds like it needs to be worked on a bit (especially the scream itself, it came out a little loud through my head phones). Yeah, this sounds like to different songs thrown into one. And though I find the idea of it interesting I'm thinking that they two different synth sequences clash. Maybe if ya worked on layering them together a bit better. Possibly adding some prolonged fades in and out. Where they'd play together more. And on second thought, I'm gonna suggest that ya just nix the scream altogether. And maybe work on having the end fade out or end suddenly with a drum build up to a big cymbal crash. Thanks for sharing though. Later on!
on mr strong is back in town by emitek
The only part I didn't much care for was the "I just wanna thank you" vocal sample ya had on here. Other than that it was pretty bangin. I especially enjoyed the drums at the beginning and am thinkin that if ya wanted you could very easily make this into a 'Bass-centric' Drum&Bass mix. Like either Miami Bass or Booty Bass (without the hiphop vocals thrown in). Think like a mix between Bass Meckanik and Techmaster PEB (maybe with a sprinkling of Benny Benassi to keep the some of the current synth). Okies, nuff outta me. Thanks for sharing mate. Later on!
on Is anyone out there ? by Ashman1
Play 2 now...
I think my favorite part of this song was that one synth sequence ya had that sounded like an alarm. And the drums were absolutely superb. Though ya might wanna ease into that one synth sequence that starts at around 2:30 I'm thinkin (it struck me as being a lil too sudden). Other than that this was pretty solid. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Bottoms Of A Willow Tree by DGUMO
Some of the effects on this reminded me of the breathing sound Kraftwerk used in the song Tour de France. And in some ways this makes me think that it's the beat side of Ambient (like if one were to swap synths for drums). And that said, I think this track would be a whole lot cooler if ya threw in some forrest sounds (animal calls, wood creeking, and such). To give it more natural flavor or something. Cool stuff mate. Later on!
on Madness Jungle by DJAid
Excellent usage of the reverse soundin breaks in this mate. I think that was prolly my favorite part of the song. Along with the tribal chant vocal sample and that nutty bass/synth ya had near the end (in fact, they sorta reminded me of some bass loops I recently added). Two things bum me out about this. The first is that it isn't avail for download (sad face) and the other is that one vocal sample that sounded like it came from a movie (with site rules and all that). Course, I'm thinkin you could still have a pretty bangin track without that sample. Later on!
on Come Down Selector by MiracleManTracks
I thought the vocals were pretty cool, save for the high pitched 'oy' one. Hmm, maybe if ya had it say 'hey' instead it might pair with the lower pitched 'oy' better. I dunno, just random thoughts here. And the drums were fabulous. Nicely done there. I'm thinkin this track would be killer if ya added some bass to go with the drums. Something like a long drawn out growl mixed with the periodic throbbing wub-wub ones, ya know. Cool stuff mate. Later on!
on GRIMEY SKANK by DJCP1
Pretty dirty stuff right here. I was really diggin the classic vocal samples ya used on here (the funky laugh one). And the dark knock of the one bass sequence ya had. I also enjoyed how it had slight dub undertones in it. It's just a shame that this isn't avail for download (sad face). Oh well, I can still fav it. Thanks for sharing mate. Later on!
on rain by deepjej
Hey mate, ya might wanna watch yer levels because some of this sounded like it was on the verge of clipping. So if ya go to mess with this again I'd recommend dropping down the volume on some of the channels.
Besides that I thought that this was a pretty sweet mix. I think my favorite part of the song (besides the vocal sample) was the sitar-like synth ya used on here. Cool stuff, just work on trying to polish it up a bit with the mastering. Later on!
I work on many other song I would like that you ear.
Thanks for all.
on True Sin Feat. EVRiM by DjSomnium
Okies, the part starting @ around 0:57 and lasting to 1:16 (give or take) was the only part of the song that I didn't much care for. I dig the concept, but am thinkin that ya might wanna throw on some effects to that part. Something to give it an extra sense of dimension, because at the mo' it kinda reminds me of a skipping record.
That said, I really loved what ya did to her vox too and for some odd reason it reminded me a little bit of Britney Spears (the way she sounds on her perfume commercials). And the groove of this is def funky fresh. The stuff ya used with the bass was boss. Though given it's length is it safe to assume that it isn't finisheed yet? Keep bangin it out mate. Later on!
on Her Silver Lining by Repeto
Naw, the way ya mixed it I didn't think it was overly repetitive. The part near the end could stand a bit of variation perhaps, but given it's length is it safe to guess that it isn't finished?
Let's see, hmm, I'm thinkin that maybe you could incorporate the intro vocal sample some more on here (like to come up after a break or something). You could even play around with the sample itself, making it do something like- "1... 1,2... 1,2,3...3,4" and stuff like that. Use it in conjunction with added elements in the song too (like the introduction to a new layer of synths and stuff). Lemme know if that helped ya any. Later on!
on Fallen star by Beaupain
I really dug the groove of this, but I'm kinda thinkin that ya needta throw in some more variation on this (or do it sooner) coz it kinda sounded repetitive in parts. Though, like I said, I really dig the groove of this and am thinkin that this is some high quality House music (not too sure I'd call it electro). And in that light I could see someone goin crazy on remixing this incorporating it into a session. Maybe throwing in some breathy female to sing R&B along side it. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
