on Seplicate V2 by Spivkurl

Spivs having a run of tunes ending in "ate" huh? Like those squelchy synths, what is that sound? Love the way it sort of swaps from tech house to house. Nice touch with the vocals. It's a pretty complex track with lots of layers and switches that keep it interesting (not like my repetative drivel)
What i love about your stuff is you never know what you're going to get and this is a pretty complicated sounding piece. It must have taken you a while to put this together.
Good stuff.
FR

Spivkurl replied 29th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Heh, leave it up to you to notice the title thing! After searching a little, I don't think this is a word yet! I guess I'm not sure which sound you mean by "squelchy synths"... do you mean the higher frequency acid sort of bass sound? If that's the one you mean, that's a patch I set up on Fabfilter One, which I must say is a pretty high quality sounding synth. Kind of heavy on the CPU, but worth it I think. I really don't know a lot about house, just trying to do my own version of it I suppose. I think it is pretty complicated, because I kept crashing the DAW with this one, like every time I tried to render a new mix or whatever. By mastering time my CPU was at 99%. I'm going to add some things to make this better soon, and maybe redo the effects a little, because theres some things about it that bother me. I like taking people off guard with my songs, so I'm glad you like that too! Mostly done in two days, with a little more mastering work on a third. Partly because of the crashes, and partly because of the effects bothering me. Thanks much for taking a listen!

on Dreaming In Blue by Orlando51

Cool intro, reminds me a little of Pink Floyd. Now the guitar starts and in with the beat. Yeah man this is slow and funky.
Really good collaberation you've done here. The two styles mix really well. Ed's guitar and your piano make a splendid combination, the clarity is superb and you've hit this one out the park. I'm becoming quite a fan of yours Orlando.
FR

Orlando51 replied 29th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Well...that intro...while it's not among my best, it was still
just good enough to keep it in, and yeah, maybe it is a bit floydish. Overall it turned out quite nicely, although there were many other alternatives in question, but here is the version I decided on...so be it.:)
About becoming my fan...ughhh...this is almost scary thought to me...ofcourse it's nice to have that kind of following, but on the other hand it brings some kind of responsibility with it and sort of burden of pressure not to disappoint.:)

Anyways, many thanks again for your positive comment and support...

With much appreciation_____Orlando

on DROPS-ELECTRO-HOUSE-THEME-2014-27-MAY by absolutedesigners

Yeah this is cool. It's like a medley of different tracks. You're good at this electro house malarkey.
I enjoyed all four and a half minutes of it.

on Zombie party by johnnyproducing

Nice intro, reminds me of "a forest" by the Cure (one of my all time favourite cure tracks) Oddly enough i've been working on a version of that but so far i'm thinking yours is much better. I got to get me that synth that you use. It's got some pretty wicked sounds on it.
Enjoyed listening to this piece. Especially the key change bit, that was a pretty interesting move.
FR

johnnyproducing replied 28th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Well I took a listen to "a forest" and it indeed has a bit of that feel, not fully but I can see what you mean.
Haha well I don't remember what I used for this anymore, could have well been sytrus in some parts hahaha. Anyways thanks ;) Glad you liked the song further

on Nightr8 - Renz Wilde Remix by RenzWilde

Well since i've reviewed all three of your tracks i thought i'd review this one again as i haven't heard much of this song on the site much these days.
I think you're quite audatious to take on a remix so early in your looperman career. And as i said before it's a good effort and well mixed.
I might even add a bit more to my nitrate remix now.
FR

RenzWilde replied 29th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanx FR...I think.

au·da·cious

1. showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks.

2. showing an impudent lack of respect.

I'm pretty sure from your encouragement and positive feedback since I've been here that you meant audacious as in bold. If for some reason you meant that I was showing a lack of respect, you couldn't be more wrong. I privately messaged Spiv from the beginning and let him know what I was doing and he enthusiastically gave me the green light. He'll confirm that if you ask him.

Plus, we still gotta plan that Looperman festival in India, remember? Does August work for you? That should be plenty of time to organize everything

on Nightr8 by Spivkurl

Been hearing so many remixes of this this week i thought i'd drop by and remind myself of how the original went.
This track is becoming legendary. It's great.

Spivkurl replied 28th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanks for the return visit! I learned from ipods mainly, not to overlilsten to things... it can ruin them for long periods of time. That's part of why I'm trying to shift gears now. Appreciate you support and friendship!

on Nightr8- Spivkurl- RealProblemShuckers Remix by RealProblemShuckers

I'll have to listen to this properly tomorrow as i'm on the lap top speaker. Sounding pretty good so far. Like the way you used the vocoded nitrate as an instrument. It's definitely interesting hearing different peoples mixes of it and seeing how different they turned out. (i think this is about the fourth version i've heard today)
Good job with the remix.
FR

on Beautful instrumental by benjizo

This is really chilled man. Like the vocal you used, niceley chopped up and blended in.
I'd like to hear someone spit a few verses over the top of it.
I liked the flange effect transition half way through and i like the way you've arranged it.
Did you get that vocal from here?
Good stuff Benjizo.
FR

benjizo replied 29th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Thank you so much FR.No i didnt get the sample from here,I used a lana del ray sample.Thanks for the feedback bro.

on Need it work by ElenaSatine

Can't help out with the singing as i sound terrible but what i can say is that this is a nice pop arrangment. It's very bubbly and bouncy once you get past the intro. Like the way you carried the piano theme through the track and it's a good mix.
Also dig that saxophone.
Nice track.
FR

ElenaSatine replied 18th Jun 2014 - 11 years ago

thank you much much Free Radical . :)
and sorry for late reply , i was sick .

on Spivkurl - Nightr8 Knnetic Remix by Yerite

Well i haven't heard this before lol. Just thought i'd tune in and see what you did with it. Like the looping of the electronic Niiitraaate. You know i say i haven't heard this before but it's incredible how many different takes there are on it. This is actually really cool and i like it. Those wobbly basses and breakdowns are excellent. You've really given it your own personal touch.
I enjoyed this version.
FR

on Raider by DESTERO

Well i just wrote out a huge great review and then the server cut out so i lost it all.
It was basically saying that this track is great and it deserves more attention.
Fav and download.
FR

DESTERO replied 19th Jul 2014 - 11 years ago

Ok know i see why you not comment my reply,im sorry about that and hope you can forgive me this mistake i have not seen your reply and somehow its lost! sry sry sry.

on Rave the night away by johnnyproducing

Seriously good stuff. What are you using to make this with? I'd love to have some of those sounds in my library.
Nothing much more to add except that this definitely would have been a download if you'd allowed it.
FR

johnnyproducing replied 27th May 2014 - 11 years ago

I was using sylenth1 for the sounds :)
Further still stuck with FL

Thanks for the kind comment FreeRadical ;)

Maybe this will be free to download on looperday ^^
An exclusive looperday download haha
But don't know yet if I will do that or not

on Stillness Touched Me by AviatOfficial

Yeah, sweet track mate. Nice progression with the pads and synths. The lead is nice as well. Those rising pads are what really makes the tune though. It's got a real old school vibe to it which i always like.
Perhaps it would benefit from a vocal sample here and there but other than that it's a pretty solid track.
Cheers for sharing,
FR

on Nightr8 Sampled by M8TN

And here we go again with another Nitr8 remix, This is getting out of hand now lol.
Like what you've done with the loops, Lots of cutting and pasting going on here. It's an interesting version and you've certainly added your own personal touch to it.
I should be sick of this tune by now but it never fails to get me.
Good work.
FR

M8TN replied 17th Jun 2014 - 11 years ago

thanks for the positive feedback, spot on with the cutting/pasting. thank you

on - Survivors - by Anubis

Hey Spivkurl, Really nice track! (I'm just taking the p*ss now)
Seriously, what an intro, Those drums are pretty spectacular.
It's like a war kind of them or something. I can just imagine two armies meeting on the battlefiels ready to slice each other to pieces with this playing in the background. Do you do those drums live or are they from packs? Sounds very authentic.
Really enjoyed listening to this.
FR

Anubis replied 29th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Hi nitr8 remix

thanks for the positive words.

these drums are all virtual, good tools. [in Fl studio I use a lot the "Soundgoodizer"
tool that can make a shift in Eq]

basically equalization is an item that transforms the quality of music.

thank you for supporting this insane thought that is the feeling of the music.

your words are appreciated.

with respect__Anubis

on I Can See Your Eyes - Indian Mix by clindsay

Love the ethnic theme of this. That sitar intro is great, as is the vocal work. It's like ravi shankar on acid, the way it changes to electronic is great and so are the atmospheres and drums.
Loving the breakdown with the wind instruments and the tabla drums. Nice change at 2.34, very uplifting and nice transition, You managed to change the vibe without straying to far off the original riff.
Really enjoyed listening to this track.
FR

clindsay replied 27th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanks FR for your analysis and kind words. I like the Ravi Shankar on acid comment. I cram a lot of ideas into this one which kind of holds together but very tenuously. Again, thanks for listening and commenting.

on DJ The Observer FT Spivkurl --nightr8 remix -- by djtheobserver01

Nice take on spivs track. I think this has to be the most remixed track on looperman and i like your take on it.
Nice touch!

on Fade Away by anthonyabutler32

Nice hip hop jam here. Good lyrics and nicely arranged. There's a few places where the vocal seems a bit loud compared with the music but other than that this is a cool track.
FR

on trance cosmos by smallpaul

Taking a trip back in time to 2009. Sounding good on my headphones, never mind 2009 this is taking me back to 1997 which was a dam good time of my life. Went raving a lot back then to stuff like this and i still love this kind of stuff now. The piano licks and synths are excellent. It's a little bit Paul Van Dyke (when he's having one of his less chessy moments)
Top piece of trance.
FR

smallpaul replied 26th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Hi mate thanks for stopping by, its good to listen to older stuff, hopefully to see and hear how i have progressed as a writer and producer, although some people would probably disagree! ha ha.

on Rick Cardo Remix of Sebastian Ingrosso - Reload by RickCardo

Sounds really cool so far. The mix is nice and clean, the riff is catchy and the sound quality is good. I'm not familiar with the original but you've done a good job with this.
I'd bring the vocal down a notch or two though as it does overpower the music a little in places.
Other than that minor gripe this is really good.
FR

RickCardo replied 26th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Hi FreeRadical,

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you like the remix as I didn't thought it's that good. :-) I will try to look out for the things you highlighted to me.

FreeRadical 25th May 2014 19:14 - 11 years ago

on Bum Bama Bom Bom ft Danke by RealProblemShuckers

This is pretty cool once it gets going. It's not that easy to find loops that link up with one another and you've done a good job here of sticking them together. It does switch rather abruptly at times but on the whole i enjoyed listening to this piece.
FR

FreeRadical 25th May 2014 18:36 - 11 years ago

on Polar Walk by glados666

Your stuff sounds well retro. It takes me back to when the original nintendo was all the rage. Very arcade game orintated but it's also a little bit techno and twisted as well.
We like a bit of different round here so well done on a break from the norm, Like the way the guitar comes in at the end as well.
Well done.
FR

FreeRadical 25th May 2014 08:31 - 11 years ago

on Tubby Dub by nepaul

Dub with a hip hop influense? Sounds good to me. You can't go wrong with that combination and you haven't. This is a great piece. Nice sub bass, good vocal usage and professionally blended with all the other instruments.
I could have listened to thta for another five minutes.

on ROVER Tralectrouse BirdVerb Vocal Mix by demostar

on Nightr8 - Spivkurl - Extraball Remix by Diskonnect

I like it. It's like a dubstep version of it. It's actually interesting to see how different they all end up being.
I think this is going to be the most remixed track on looperman.
Job well done.
FR

Diskonnect replied 26th May 2014 - 11 years ago

Thanks for listening, I liked yours too. Yeah, this is the most people I've ever seen remix one track on here!
