You got yer Scooter? So the stylings of this remind me a bit of Scooter's stuff (minus the vox, which is actually kind of cool, because sometimes the music speaks better for itself by itself, eh?). I'm also detecting some small hints of Oriental influence in this. Great stuff for a 2 hr mix session. Lates!

Make a video of this I'd use camera shots of multiple sources (like a car, a dog barking in sync with parts of the bass, a Trendista chick all talkin on her celly in sync with another part of the bass, etc), each kinda representin different speakers or what not. Then I'd throw in some shots of you just chillin in random locales (in a store or deli, walkin down the road, sitting on the hood of a car, leaning on a balcony looking out over a pool or beach, near an Airport runway with planes landing, at home in front of yer TV, etc). Then I'd throw in some intermittant breaks in the video feed switching between complete black to snow screen to blank white-grey test screen, etc. Don't ask me why, but that's what I was thinkin the few times I listened to this (requesting a longer version possibly, please?). Headin off. Lates!

PS. You still up for that collab?
Hit me back whenever.

Kinda like it's being played on a Boombox inside a small room with people sitting just outside the door (like my buddies and I useta do at my jobsite when I was up @Bragg). Nicely done with the mellow keys mixed with his vox. Cheers!

Stylings of 808, Hardcore, Rave, and House all wrapped up into one here. I think it's focus is somewhat flighty, but still there none-the-less. Kind of like it's hovering overhead looking down while the lights of the club flash and alternate in their colors n patterns. I'll admit that this is a cut above most 'first time' tracks I hear. Kudos!

And childhood dreams on Christmas (or similar). This is def a different route for you from what I've heard before. Isn't discovering a new niche to tap into fun? At the mo I've been wanting to delve into video production. Moving on, I'm guessing that this would be used as a sort of Interlude track if placed on an album? Niceness. Lates!

Break it! Very well centered mix of styles here. So many different things going on I feel as if the soundwaves are tossing me about. As if I were in the midst of a frenzied crowd. And I think that's just what this would generate if played to a susceptive group.

Noticed ya changed yer SN too. "?"... A new alterego perhaps?? Later on!

Whatcha mean. A few weeks ago I did some that I later tried to upload on here and they turned out to be too big. And I'm not really a keyboardist either. Perhaps if it was practiced more, but you know how much of a pain it is to hook everything up. It's one very big GRRR!

So the drums were pretty tight and I'm with what the others said. Perhaps you could divide down those into sections- Using some kind of acoustic sound for the bass and I have no idea on the melody. Umm, maybe keep the low key stuff as is and swap out the higher tones with, (scratches head)... Not strings, there's too much punctuation in them now. Uhh, wait, I think I got something that would match that and give it a string sound. A mellow Harpsicord or some kind of Organ (the 2/4ths one could work, if yours has that font).

Definately has potential. It sorta reminded me of a blend between Charlie Brown stuff mixed with the Napoleon Dynomite score. Later on!

CoolVibe just has this nice ring to it, I dunno why.

Onto the track- This was a very late 80's feel to it. Kind of like Skid Row meets Stevie Ray Vaugh, maybe? I also dig the way you have that sudden, but smooth end with slight fade. Cheers!

I'm really diggin how ya didn't start the drums until a bit later in this. Sometimes there's an over focus or use of 'em, I think. The basic keys on the synths are perfect. Some of the more hardcore Rap-hedz might find sumfin to flick their Nose at. Ya know the types- the ones set in their ways. Like my buddy Chris who was all about the West Coast style. Anything else to him was 'shifty'.

Speaking of which, have you seen The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift yet? That flick's got this one track that I think you might dig. It's by The Teryaki Boys (Toyko Drift). The lyrics are so-so, but the beats are flippin insane (they might just give you some ideas too). Off for now. Later on man!

The other comment that I was going to leave was for a track that for some reason I wrote down as "Day Dreaming", but I'm not seeing it on here today so I'll do this one instead.

I'm with THTRTD- you could make 'em tighter if you were wanting to take it that way. Unless offbeat abstract was what you were wanting then I'd recommend throwing in some spooky dark soundin Bass to it. Maybe some additional Synth stabs here n there, but def some kind of Bass. Rawk on man!

I'm diggin their basic melody. The continuous Bass gives it a nice, hard edge. Ok, you progressed to a point where the Horns and Piano merged to play at the same time (originally I was gonna suggest that ya do that). There's so much you could do with just the drums n bass on this. The synth is a bit shakey, but I'm figuring it's a work in progress. Rawk on dude!

Plays n just 1 review...???- Eh, I guess that's the way it goes sometimes.

So onto the song. 'Hey, it's Charlie Brown's Parents!', haha. Sorry, couldn't help myself. That's what the Bass reminded me of. I've gotta tell you that this is pretty Abstract for Hiphop. I'm diggin it though. In fact, I think this is one of those rare Instrumentals that needs no vocal accompaniment. It's good as is. Cheers!

...And I guess that would make me Mr.And-1 (31)

1st serve and now I observe...

Nice switch to Rhodes, me thinks. Now it's got a sort of Carribean feel to it. In the words of Slap- good feel for the Summer months. At first I was thinkin that this'd fit in with a rmx of 'Gizzard Saves The World' (mind you, I've only heard Mokeone's version to date). Check his out n see whatchu think. Rawk on brah!

So... Here we are, listening to yer crazy @$$ song. Thinking back to all of the bits of convos we'd have about old games. Haha, man, am I gonna haveta take this n do sumfin with it? I think it's got House rmx written all over it.

Bravo chum, bravo!

Sorry, the intro verse reminded me of what he was sayin and the way that Churches are named (I swear you could demographic an entire congregation just by what it's called, usually). All of it's kinda silly to me coz a temple's a temple. Course I'm the type that believes I don't need one to worship/pray. That's for another chapter altogether, though.

So this was a pretty cool track. I like the bouncey bit of synth it's got and the triangles part was choice too. And I think they did a pretty good job in getting their message across. Lates!

Go to you for mentioning this track in the review. I'm really digging this. At first I was thinkin Guns'N'Roses mixed with Stevie Ray Vaughn. Then when ya started signin it began to sound more like Southern Rock stuff. Like Lynrd Skynrd mixed with Johnny Cash (lightly). You've got an amazing voice my friend. This has got to be Sav/Fav'd, it must be! This is hands down an 11 outta 10. Cheers!

I've seen this track a few times on other profiles, but never checked 'em out. Decided I'd change that todat and you're the first.

I'm def diggin the atmosphere on this. It kinda reminds me of Euro-Pop. From which, several names come to mind (though arguably, not Pop, haha). First would be Daft Punk coz they've got a similar lighty vibe on their Discovery album. Next up is Cassius coz if you've been to their myspace page (or either Workshop page they've got set up for artists like us to remix their stuff and they post 'em to several players they got on those pages) it sorta reminds me of their current stuff. Followed by Gorillaz, loosely. The way 2-D sings sometimes. There's others, but I'll wrap it there.

Cool chune brah!

So I just had to check it out. I grew up listenin to old timey stuff because of my dad (huge Bluegrass and Gaelic/Celtic player). I actually enjoy the lo-fi sounds of this. In fact I think it'd be super if you could add some kind of Phonograph crackles and the likes.

As for how to convert something mono into stereo (depending on what software you use). (This is what I do on Magix to give my stuff a lil more umph and hi-fi-like sound or just nifty FX if I mess with volume panning)-
1.)Post the sample (if it isn't already)
2.)Move the sample one channel down
3.)Copy under the Edit menu or by pressing the keyboard short-cuts, typically 'Ctrl+C'
4.)Move the original sample back up to the first channel.
5.)Paste using the same method as three (short-cut is now 'Ctrl+V')
6.)Double-click on the sample to open FX master window and at the bottom,
7.)Uncheck 'Link' Box next to the master volume levels for each side/speaker.
8.)Drag the Right side all the way to the lowest number, click apply, and then ok.
9.) Repeat steps 6-8 for the copied sample, but dragging down the Left for 8.

If that doesn't work (like it only comes out one ear on an earphone). Simply do the following...

A.)Connect 1/16th male side with 2 female 1/16th ended splitter up to your Headphone jack.
B.)Connect 1/16th male side Y cable with female mono ended into one fem side of your splitter.
C.)For playback quality purposes plug your headphones into the other remaining fem side of the splitter.
D.)Connect a male/male 1/16th (1 ended) & mono (2 ended) Y-cable= Matching like-colors this time.
E.)If necessary connect the 1/16th side to a 1/16th female to female connector. Connecting the other end to a 1/16th (male) to 1/4th (female) converter jack. Connect your 1/4th ended audio cable. Running that to the microphone port of your computer capped with another 1/16th to 1/4th converter jack (unless you have other types of recording ports, like with my Edirol UA-1EX).
F.)Open your studio program and set everything to record.
G.)Press record and commence strummin, singin, hummin, blowin, pluckin, etc.
H.)Once done, save and repeat the process from D forward (flipping the cables around to where they are white-red & white-red)
I.)After all that just make sure to beat match or whatever you'd like to call it and you should be good to go. If not, I'm afraid it's beyond me. Good luck with everything!

I can't go with the orig bands/artists I was wantin to coz the way this track has evolved. The part I'm at now (a little over the minute mark, right after the female vocal sample) is kinda remindin me of Prodigy. Cool track mate. Lates!

Figured puttin 'A friend of mine too' woulda been cheesy. Anywho, so yer @ Bragg, huh? Who you with? I was underneath 35th (though probably disbanded now) from 02-06. Was Airborne for 2 of the 3 year stint (decided to quit after a near-fatal jump in 04). Now that I'm out of the area all I have left to say is- YAY for YADKIN 500, haha!

So I'm with everyone else on this mate. The bass was killer- Though I woulda liked to have heard a longer version. Well, ya can't win all of the time. Lates!

The only bit of Latin that I fig'd would be fitting here. Taken from the movie Event Horizon- "Save yourself from hell!" An ironic statement coming from a language of a poly-theistic society. If you don't mind I might have a go at this. It just has somethin that pokes a person in the chest, ya know? Thanks and lates!

Look at all the pretty colors! This sir, is a very healthy dosing of experimental. It's so nice to hear something that doesn't fit in with the general constraints typically found in most music. And to make a song with virtually no drums either, I'm shocked (gasp). Vision getting fuzzy...And... Feeling weak... Must... Sit... Down... Haha. Interesting stuff you've got going on here mate!

Of someone along the lines of Q-Tip droppin the vox for this. I dunno why I just hear it. Very chill track holmes. All systems check 5 by 5!

Though at the mo I can't put my finger on it. It's cool that you learnin Reason too, coz I dropped the money to get it and once I installed it I was like, 'What tha hell!?'. Haven't really messed with it since. I guess I'm more of what you'd call an old fashioned 'plug-and-play' type.

The bass was spy movie cool and the drums were all over the place. Went from electro, to hiphop, to pop, to sorta drum&bassey. My only request for this would be to add some more pads or leads if you were to remix or redo this. Good stuff, otherwise. Lates!

Small bar oriented. I could totally see this being played at some beach tiki-hut type of joint while kickin back sippin on a Corona. Maybe your cousin is doing exactly that in the ever-after, may he rest in peace. My only request is to add somethin like a Boron or a Herdy-Gurdy to it. Lates!
