on Push da button by TCAS
This is pretty wicked since it was your first tune on Ableton. It's not an easy programme to get the hang of and you've done well to do a track this good on your first attemp.
I like the synth that comes in around the half way point and from there on it just gets better and better.
Quality!

Hi Freeradical,
Thanx but it's not my first track in Ableton.
All the tracks from 'Bert' are made with Ableton.
This one was made with Ableton and the controller Ableton Push.
It was my first track created with Ableton Push :)

Thanx,
TCAS

on Hypnotic Larry Wiggles aka Mark Jeffries by larrywiggles1
This is cool and funky mate, Love the vocal work, the music is excellent especially the wah guitar.
I like the way you incorporated a little bit of acid and there's some clever skills going on in this track.
I think this is my favourite one of your i've heard so far.

Hi FR,

Thanks as always for giving us a listen and glad you like, there were a few bits in this that I messed up, but I still love this track too, thanks again.

Best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

on Mystical Forest by Aereas
This is a great sounding piece mate. Everything gels together splendidly.
The mix is of high quality and the melodies are superb. I dig that pad that you used & the part where it speeds up and turns a bit housy
Sheer brilliance.

Introduced the main riff and the vocals perfectly.
I really like this tuuuuuune!!!!

on A Perfect Story Ft Miper And KnowKontrol by SeriouslyJoking
This isn't what i was expecting. This is leaning more towards chill out than drum and bass. this is what drum and bass sounds like https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/155362
The lyrics and the singing are nice and it's a pretty good track but i was expecting something more upbeat.
You should alter the genre.
FR
FreeRadical
This sounds pretty good even though i can't understand a word of the lyrics.
Sounds pretty well mixed but as i say a can't comment on the vocal.
I would have liked to have heard a bit more of a tune going on as the whole thing consists of just drums and vocals.
Where's the music???
Still, i like what you've done with the drums and the percussion.
Keep it up,

I did not add music to this track, because she is so powerful in her voice, that I did not need to add more to it. Sometime not adding stuff makes it more powerful.

on Sunrise at the Beach by DESTERO
Nice intro with the spanish guitar. Then also niceley in with the congas.
I see you labled the tune as "weird" but i can tell you that it aint weird at all, it's bloody good.
There's a mixture of all kinds of things coming throught here.
The percussion is excellent and so is the guitar.
and i like the little vocal samples here and there, There is just enough of it to give the track an extra boost.
You done really well with this piece mate.

Thank´s Mate,
I don´t think much about building up a new Track ,I find a loop and build the Track around, while i do this it develops a peculiar dynamics. What beginns as a Tranceloop could be ending as Dance or Chill Out Track,how ever I´m glad that you like Thanks for.

on Autumnal equinox by deciBel
this is a very soft piece of music. the backgound sounds are a little strange but all the instruments work in perfect harmony with one another.
Those trippy noises give it a kind of ghostly kind of vibe.
Different but good.

as a self thaught I've learned all things by error & trials in music & this track was my first trials in which I was testing how those self designed haunting sounds may work in track ...FR I appreciate your kind feedback & please U

on Peril - Nefarious - CLIP WIP by SUDDENSHIFTOFFICIAL
Not a bad piece of techno once it gets going. I thought the intro could have done with being a little shorter, I like the bit where you bring the bongos in but then it just fades out.
It's a good start but you could add so much more to it to make it better. For example there are no cymbals, hats or crashes used which are pretty imprtant in a dance piece.
Still, i like what you've done i just can't help feeling that it needs a few more layers to get it going.
FR

SUDDENSHIFTOFFICIAL replied 11th May 2014 - 12 years ago
thanks for the in depth feedback very much appreciated!
and this is just the WIP, I've started layering in some more samples now and I've just compressed the kicks and the bass, working on the transitions and added the subs so it's getting there :P
Thanks for the input! and cheers for listening
going to upload the finished track very soon.

on mini mix by smallpaul
I see you've caught the minimix bug. In some ways it's easier than a track because if you get stuck you just fade out and bring in another. I've been working on one that's now about 40 minutes long and boy is it getting tedious.
Anyway, this sounds really great so far, I'm going to take my time with the review as i've got nine minutes of tunage to get through.
Second track has just started now so i'm getting an idea as to how your week off work has been going. It's very deep sounding, I try and do this style of house sometimes but it just always turns into techno.
Wow, it's gone piano house now which is great, like the way you added the vocal to it then picked up the pace with some nice acidic sounds and trumpets and stuff.
Third riff was definitely the best as far as im concerned.
That trumpet thing sounds really authentic. Did you make that or is it a loop?
Anyways nice listening to this.

smallpaul replied 12th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Hi mate thanks for review, I think you started this didnt you? Great fun to do had a bit of a writing block so rather than try to write one track I worked on three?? Doesnt make sense! It was a mix of some of my own keyboards some drum programming a various loops from all over the place.

Well this is quite the contrast to that last tune of yours i listened to.
This is real slow and funky. Nice electronic lead with some great efx on it and a great beat.
Enjoyed this one a lot.

on Spade - Superman Extraball Remix by Diskonnect
This is pretty insane mate. It's like a cross between jungle and electro. That soloing in the middle of the track could almost be something straight out of an 80's video game.
Original and well mixed.
FR

Well R&B aint really my cup of tea but i can tell that this track is well written and well produced. Everthing is ell mixed down and it sounds as good as any regular R&B tune to me.
Good Job.

on On The Horizon by toddj
This sounds a bit like the backdrop to the game i was just playing. Creeping round the subway killing aliens and stuff.
It turns a lot more atmospheric later in the track though. It's dark and twisted but also at the same time very melodic and that's not an easy vibe to pull off.
Would make a great back track for a movie or sum ting.
Glad i dropped by for a listen.

on Modnex - Adventure Land by Modnex
Why do you go under the name Gzglitchers when your avatar says Modnex just out of interest?
I don't usually start a review with a question so i'll crack on. Really liking what i'm hearing here. The choice oif synths is perfect for the melody. Really liking this track a lot and i'm going to fav and download it. Shame it's only three minutes long as that lick could have gone on for hours.
Impressive stuff.
FR
Modnex
Modnex replied 9th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Thanks man! To answer your question, I actually started an account on here before I got into making music. Gzglitchers was my youtube channel account which was quite popular when I made this account. So I decided to use it on here since I didn't plan on making music. I downloaded my first and last loop and forgot about this website until like 4 months after. By then, I learned how to make my own songs and decided to visit this AWESOME community daily. Turns out everything worked out great, made new friends and my music skills continues to grow.

(Sorry about the essay -__-)
-----------------------------

I'm glad you enjoyed this. I was going to make this longer but thought smaller is sometimes better. Thanks for tuning in, much appreciated. Have a nice day! :)

on Hotbird by DESTERO
Like the title so i thought i'd drop by and give you your first comment on it.
At the moment it's reminding me a little of Deep Dishes Flashdance but only because it has a rock guitar and a house beat. Whatever you want to class it as it's pretty cool.
I hear this and i can't help but get the party started. Just cracked open my first beer, so cheers for getting the party started.
I like the vocoded vocals and the change about half way through where you bring the synths in.
This is a great track and it's definitely going in the favs.
knok out track mate.
Now i'm just going to kick back and listen to the rest of it while i sink my bud.

The Synth Sequence was Tricky to build up, so i had to modify it. I think it sounds quite acceptable.

P.S. How´s the Party going, is there any Progression`? :)

on Bastille - Bad Blood - Remix - FreeDownload by Lenerd73
This is really good. I don't think the drum masks the vocal at all, I can hear everything perfectly.
The mix is good, the singing is on point and the arrangement is pretty wicked as well.
Great track.

on metaletechno1 by clindsay
Like what i'm hearing here. I thought i was the only one who did metal techno so it's nice to see someone else promoting that sound. Really dig the arrangement of the gutars an the way the riffs change (especially like the arabian lick.
Now it's gone mellow and the vibe has changed again.
It's not easy to make transitions like that and make them sound good but you've managed to do it really well.
Like the big pads that come in around the three minute mark.
This is a pretty epic track.
Well done.

on We Find Our Way by brillbilly
That running water sound is making me need to go and point percy at the porcelain.
This has got a bit of a jean michelle jare kind of feeling to it. Very futuristic and well layed out.
Beautifully mixed as well.
I actually ordered a copy of Magix today because i like your productions so much. It's weird how different DAWS produce different results, but the results you get are always bang on.
This was an absolute pleasure to listen to and it needs to be listened to again.

Magix was a massive step up for me from EJAY lmao!

It's always good to be diverse (i've not been doing that much lateley)
This is great when the beat kicks in. Sounds as good as other peoples rock tracks who do them all the time.
Where did you get the vocal from?
Brilliant stuff.

on Dancing To The War Drums by crucethus
This is pretty twisted mate. Like the percussion and that lead synth is fat.
What i like about your tracks is your always changing what goes on in a rather unique way. The way it drops into the gunfire bit is excellent and then back to that manic pitch bend bass.
It never gets boring, There's a theme throughout but the vibe just keeps changing.
Good work here mate.

Thank you FR, coming from you that is quite the compliment as I respect your work greatly (esp the nineties vibe stuff) I always want to give the listener a new twist and I have been bored for a long time with the Verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus stuff. That’s for punters and Teenies! So I always look for new twists and turns and contrasts. I hope I delivered with this one..ehh?
