on Black Holes of Consciousness by Angorne
Was it supposed to end suddenly like that? Might be a difference in schools of mixing, but I'd recommend against stuff like that.
At the mo' where I am I'm really diggin the start-stop of the bass and the synth that sounds sorta like a siren is pretty sweet. And the way they interplay kinda reminds me of Mr.Ozio in some ways. I can see that lil puppet bobbin it's head and all that, haha. Thanks for sharin mate. Later on!
on D & J by OrigamiSalami
Though ya might wanna watch out coz this one kinda loomed dangerously close to being a bit too repetitive. Later on!
on The Greys by H3XiT
Play 2 now...
Decided to let it just play through on the last go around. Anyways, as I was sayin this packs a punch, but the way it's done isn't all in-your-face like other songs of similar intensities. Kinda done in a minimal way and it's somewhat repetitive nature gives it that hard mechanical element that's key to anything 'Techno'.
Though, in a way I feel like this is only half done. Like something about it almost screams "Counterpart needed". And that's where I think it gets interesting, because at the mo' we have one artist, who's the other one gonna be and which way will they take it? It'd be nice if there was a continuation of this along those lines mate. Later on!
Also, a lot depends on the mood I'm in. With this track, I just finished watching a 12 hour rerun of x-files on SciFi. Something had to happen... Greetz
on Demoted by mistersmeaner
I dig the FX ya placed on that one perc hit (?) you've got on here. And the bassline ya got is pretty basic, but sweet soundin.
And I agree that this would sound cool on a video game score. Though I couldn't tell ya what kinda game I'd see this goin with. Anyways, nicely done mate. Later on!
on Party Girl by AceZecA
Interesting way to open the track mate. Nice modulations going on with that one synth sequence ya used. And for the first time in a while I'm really diggin the various vocal samples ya used in this.
And the bass sequence ya used on this sounds borderline hardstyle or whatev (the kind that goes good with the Melbourne shuffle). Anyways, thanks for sharin mate. Later on!
on Confused daze, lost nights by johnthebhoys
Being a fellow Mag user I could recognize alot of what ya used on here. And I think ya did a pretty good job on mixing this. Though there were parts that kinda stuck out a bit to me.
Oh, and you may or may not know this, but Revolta allows you to mess with the individual instrument hit's sound. Allowing you to give 'em a more natural sound. By default the kick's compression sounds too synthetic for my tastes. Anyways, this is givin me ideas so thanks for sharing. Later on!
on DiDaDo by GM8
Wow, I haven't heard a mix that was this long in a hot minute. I think most people shoot for somewhere between 3-5 mins and call it quits. It's nice to come across another another artist who likes making lengthy songs.
Quick random question- what's the longest you've gone?
I've been able to do a couple of mash-ups that were nearly 13 mins. Though it's been a while since I've tried really going to town like that.
Anyways, falling back on this track and in relation to it's length I think ya did a nice job at keeping it consistent and not overly repetitive or boring (which is a pitfall all long tracks face). And the first time through I was particularly impressed with the way ya chose to end it. Kinda like cascading and diminishing waves. Nicely done mate. Later on!
the longest i did was like 18 min but its old i made it like 4 years ago i jused to make mini mixes just make a song and keep going on trying to evolve it but i stept away from that since i got my mixing gear,
ime glad you like the song!
peace

on Rise by KenyanInMalaysia
Very interesting concept here. Subbing out voices for instruments. Something usually only heard in classical arrangements. So to pair it with modern music is killer! It'd be kinda nice to see the story of this evolve and unfold in a visual sense.
Here I envision the beginning being in an apartment room (oddly enough with red paint on the walls) at night (furnished with faux tropic lamps, glass tables, and all). The woman is standing near the man who is seated on the couch. As she finishes what she is saying the man stands up to follow her giving his side of the tale. To be continued..?
i see u really have a good imagination...(to the point...)
it would be really nice to have a video to the track and see how things unfold...but for now its, It will be continued....ur vision will also be put into consideration..thanks!

on I Said Put the Cat Down and Step Away by bcway
Play 2 now...
I can recognize some of the Mag loops ya used in this being a fellow user, but not that many of 'em. So is it fair guessing that this is a demo or teaser track, given it's short time? I'm kinda interested to hear how this would progress if ya did more to it. Later on!
About the name, well, it's like that around here - we have fun at home as best we can what with lately life's continual relentless assaults.
I am impressed by your observation - hit the nail squarely on the head. Much of my music is quickly done because of time constraints, and I sincerly regret that much of my music does not have much sublty, because I am still drilling through the technology. Considering having spent 20 years as a mainframe systems analyst, I am lagging badly - a bit embarressing.
I come from an era when you grabbed a guitar with a few moments notice and head to a bar to bang out a nights worth of mostly rock and roll.
A great starting environement but it does not help a lot with todays methods. At 54 years old I am still learning music - and enjoying it just as much. I am also stunned by the amount of talented people on this site that are willing to assist.
Thanks again. May the road rise to meet you....
on Breakdown by AcidParadox
In a way I'm reminded a bit of Orbital with the one synth sequence that ya use on here (the second one in the beginning).
As for the classification, I couldn't tell ya where else this would fit. It's pretty dead-on in Techno IMO. The track does have a somewhat retro soundin quality because of the 3rd synth sequence ya used. I know it's classic because I've heard it somewhere else before, but at the mo' I'm blankin on the whole 'what & where' thing. Anyways, interesting stuff here. Later on!
on Neural Surgery by DJKranK
Yeah, I can see what Toxic's sayin about the old skool vibe.
I also dig how the bass on this gives it a nice, dark quality. And the way you've got the synth soundin all hovery is keen too!
Oh, and I dunno if it's just me, but @ around 1:01 there're a few crackle sounds comin out. Dunno if that's intentional or not though. Just wanted to point it out if they weren't. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on My Beat - Mike&Angel by MikeandAngel
Hey mate,
completely disregard my last review. I made the mistake of starting another track and then playing this one. Haha opps, my bad. The below still applies though.
Okies play 2 now (new player window)...
Anyways, this track was pretty sweet though I didn't much care for the voc-sams. Beyond that it was jammin. Later on!
on Known Alone by amar
Play 2 now...
And it happened again. So I dunno what's going on. Maybe you could try editing your track and re-uploading the file. Check to see if it happens again and let Looperman know, okay?
Beyond that I liked the track, there were bits of it that reminded me of some of the songs on the Wipeout racing games. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Angelic Dirge by Hoecus
Hey mate, I would say that this is more Ambient than Trance. Though if you were planning to add more to this (like bass or drums) than this could very easily morph into a Trance track.
As for the desc, I can see it too. It has a very somber mood to it. Later on!
on Knight (demo) by DJVO
Great start here mate! Have you thought of maybe redoing the intro to where it'd just start with the synths and then maybe after like one or two loop measures have 'em come in?
Hmm, and maybe throw in some bass after the 0:56 breakdown? At any rate, I'm diggin what you've done so far. Waiting for the finished version. Later on!
on Motion by koble
In a way this reminds me of classic Euro dance stuff (if only minus the vocals ED commonly likes to use).
And with what Salkizar was sayin, there's also another possibility with giving it some extra flavor without having to mess with the loops or arrangement too much. Do some knob tweekin! If ya got a controller for that sort of thing. Just load about 2 or 3 effects and while this is goin along mess with the accent, velocity, volume, etc. I could load this onto one of my SPs to show ya what I mean if you'd like. At any rate, very nice start ya got here. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
I think I've got to get me one of those SPs (ok what's an SP?..lol). I think I get the idea and I definitely want to do some things like that. What's a good SP to use? I assume you are loading vst effects into it? Send me an email and educate me. I definitely am interested. Thanks for the thoughtful review.

on 3rd Generation by juan1
The ending stops suddenly? I've got to say that's about the only thing I didn't fancy with this track.
Massive kudos for creating all of those Bongo loops coz I know how hard those can be. Well, they're hard if yer painting the notes on a midi mapper (time consuming mostly).
It sounds like ya had alotta fun makin this song. It kinda reminds me of that groove ya get into when things start falling into place and the track seems to capture the energy right off the bat. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on After The Rain by ArchainZeros
Umm, as for the genre, hmm? I'm not really seeing it as being 'trance', but there are parts that are really melodic. I think it's the drums that throw it off for me. They're more urbane n tech-elect I'm thinkin. So if I were to guess I'd say that this is more 'fusion'.
And on the 3rd play it sounds like you've got yer head around making cool sounds with which loops to use. Now work on learning the software's other features (like fade-ins and outs of certain loops that are different). And then mess with tweekin the different volume levels in the Mastering mixer. Thanks for sharin. Later on!
Fusion ehh? Well that sounds good to me, haha. But yeah thanks for the advice and the criticism...it truely is, much appreciated.
on Sweats Drippin by WUMAK
The intro- I'm thinkin could be faded into. Maybe do like a 15 second build up for the track. And once the build is over you could momentarily drop to silence and then bring it back with a big warped/phased bang. I'm also thinkin that it could use some other female type of vox (somethin like the computer on Star Trek or similar).
This is givin me other ideas, but I'll leave 'em off for now.
Overall you've got a really great start on this track mate. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on watch me by kosmin
Ya might wanna adjust the sound level of the one synth sequence that starts at around 1:20 because it kinda drowns out the vocal stuff. Either that or drop the vox for that part. Other than that this is a pretty good start. Later on!
on Blinded Visions by petey440
It's also funny because a few hours ago I was on YouTube floating around listening to some of Robert Miles stuff and in a way I'm reminded of some of his more progressive stuff here.
Though I might note that ya might wanna be careful with that extra long snare fill ya got @ around the 1:40 mark. Other than that this is a pretty solid track (though it could stand to be just a lil longer IMO). Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Driven by The_Acidizer
On it's own I'm kinda reminded of a mix between Offspring and Nirvana. Later on!
on Cant stop me now by Jpipes24
I think I saw what you were going for with this though (and it's a nice vision). The melody worked well with the drum treatment, but I wasn't quite sold on the vocals (dunno why though, maybe it was the mix of tones from rap to growl to singing). At any rate, nice concept though. Later on!
on RelaxSitBackHaveFaith by PhobosDeimos
on bear with me by Kmk0702
And I agree with the desc, very cinematic (specially the build at the beginning, play 2 now). I'm also diggin the modulations ya got on that one synth. Also diggin the lil breaks ya give here and there. Though might I suggest that if ya ever play with this again to make certain parts of it more pronounced (though it could just be my headphones or what have you, that're makin this sound somewhat subdued, shrugs). Later on!
