on I Made Beats-Feat-Holly by DJCeddy
I'm guessing you're new to this music making malarkey.
The vocal sample is in the wrong key so that needs adjusting.
The xylophone thing is out of time with the beat and the whole thing is just a bit weird really.
On the plus side you have managed to grasp the concept of layering instruments so it's not all bad news.
Just practice a bit more and use the forums for advice on how to improve.
Sorry to be blunt but it's not helpfull just to say "great track"

Hi FreeRadical. Yes you are right. I am still new to the scene. But I am having alot of fun experimenting and understanding what happens. Thank you for the positive criticism. It makes me happy as I know someone is taking me serious and is concerned about what I do. Thanks for the notes and tips> I will learn about keys etc from the forums for sure! No I agree, you have to be blunt at times. Gotta improve the music out there as well. I just made this one to see if the music community is out there. See what responses I get ha ha. I checked your profile FreeRadical. You are quite funny as well!

on classic by benjizo
I'm well out of my comfort zone with the hip hop genre but i know a good piece when i hear one. This is definitely one of those good pieces.
Like the vocal harmonising, sampling and drops.
It's a very mellow piece and would sound even better if you layered a rap pella over the top of it. (just an idea)
I'm glad i listened to this. It's chilled my mood.

on Ethnic Oud by M8TN
I've never come across a track in the "dirty" genre before so i had to home in on this one. Like the guitar playing although there seems to be too much low/mid range on the guitar in the first part of the track which drowns out the innitial vocals. It does sort it's self out when you add the effect and i could hear the vocal perfectly in the second part of the track.
Aside from that minor detail i enjoyed listening to this piece.

Thats cool man, thank you. I'll lower some ranges in the first part - indeed there is some sort of overload there - and replublish on that link at some point.
By the way, going from you profile, you ever decide for stand-up, I'd like tickets please :) hehe

on Thankful by FastFunghi
haven't heard a dub track for a while so i thought i'd give this one a whirl.
I'm glad i did because it's not your usual dub track. The style is deffo dub but the sounds you've used give it a really modern twist.
Love the glitchy samples and the sounds you've used.
I'm not just glad this is my first listen of the evening, i'm really bloody impressed as well.
Nice one.

on lets forget about my inconvincible father by ElenaSatine
It's an expression that gets over used in my opinion, but this really does ROCK!!!
It's heavy, grungy and a little bit folky at the same time.
You say you want a beat added to it. Why not just go to the loop section and look for some drum loops? There's literally hundreds of them.
Failing that i guess i could have a go but it sounds like a pretty challenging piece and it could take a while.
Great work here, i'm pleased i listened to this.

on don-t stop by arashsinghbagri
I hate seeing a track with no comments so i thought i'd home in on this one.
It's definitely more trance than house but i dig the vibe.
I would have prefered it if that phased thing had been panned more to the centre so i could hear it in both ears.
Can't understand why nobody's commented on this yet as it's pretty well mixed and has good samples, efx and vibe.
Nice one.

on Dark Heart by Anubis
I like the strange filtered intro. This is pretty far out sounding and would go great in a sci fi movie or something.
It's not at all what i was expecting so i have to say well done on an original and gripping piece.
Glad i dropped in.
FR

on Psychedelic Erotica by JJWeekz
Psychadelic erotica sounds right up my street so i thought i'd give this one a whirl. Love the intro, reminds me a little of pink floyd.
Everything is splendidly mixed but why ony one and a half minutes? I was just getting into it then it faded out.
HMPH!!

on the kinda guy u like by rAyLoU
Well R&B aint my genre of choice so i'm probably not the best to comment.
The lyrics are good but the vocal sounds slightly out of key to me.
Other than that it's not a bad track.

on Can You Feel Me ft KnowKontrol by RealProblemShuckers
Liking this mate. The bassline is wicked (what sound is that?)
The vocal sits nicely over the top and it gets your head nodding in a mellow trance like way.
This is a top notch piece of house music with excellent chords and synths to boot.
Definitely going in my favs.

on Acoustic Guitar with Talking African Drum by UChris
Nice piece, It's got a really natural kind of jam sound to it.
As oxygenfree said the flute hangs in there perfectly and the whole piece is just pleasant on the ears (not like the stuff i make lol)

on BOLLYWOOD STYLE by arashsinghbagri
This is a nice track mate but it's definitely not electro. I'd say it's more chill out/break beat.
I like the pads that you've used they add a good atmosphre to the track but i reckon it needs to be a little longer. 2 minutes and 45 seconds is only half a track in my opinion.
Still, i like the flange effects on the drums and on the whole i like it. Add a bit more and it will be a great track.

Peace!

on I dont need you featuring Stephanie Kay by RichieWinn
Hey Richie, Long time no speak (I needed a break from music so it's certainly not personal that i've not been around)
Anyway, I'm wondering why you're still posting stuff on this site when clearly you should be getting air time on the radio.
You've done bloody marvelous with that acapella, the mix is spot on and your talent is off the scale.
I wish i was into more commercial stuff when i listen to your tracks because people love this kind of thing.
You are uber good mate.

on love is strong in a women by adamms
This is really fun. That sampling is wicked and the music is funky as hell.
Love what you've done with the percussion on the track and it's mixed better than one of james bonds martinis.
Excellent drum work and it's iteresting to hear that "i want to lick your brains" sample used in a totally different context to how i used it.
Great work.

on Distant Footsteps Nocturne by Orlando51
This is super mellow. Those pads sound heavenly and soothing.
This kind of music can really fix your head if you've been having a rough day.
I think you've just fixed mine.
This is a very intelligent and well put together piece of music.
Tranquil and then some.
Cheers for chilling me out.

on Malcolm x by bone0112
I was hooked from the intro and the rest of the piece is superbly mixed.
I'm pretty clueless about hip hop but i know a good track when i hear one.
The samples are really hard hitting and meaningfull.
If you could find an acapella to chop up and add a few lyrics to compliment the samples that would be the icing on the cake.
Great track.

on Lostt by n3rdd
Well i'm no hip hop expert but this is really chilled.

I Like the floaty pads that carry through the track and the synths are good as well.

It could use some vocal work but aside from that it's a good and original sounding track.

on Lets Start To Play by ScottFranco
Well i'm no expert on funk but this is pretty darn cool.
Love the percusssive section, the keyboards, the bassline and the guitar.
It's got a kind of Carlos Santana vibe to it and goes very well with the sunny weather that we're having at the moment (Well, we were at least anyway)
Dig this track.
One suggestion, You should drop out some of the low end on the reverb you used on the vocals. It would add a bit more clarity.
Other than that it's a hot track.

on The Cure - Lullaby - COVER - feat Spivkurl by JoyfulWAVE
Hey dude! Long time since i've seen your avatar come up.
I loved the cure back in the day and this is a really wicked version.
It's a bit like the cure vs new order or something.
I was always a big fan of this track so it's nice to hear a new take on it.
Oddly enough just the other day i was thinking about trying a remix of the cure's "love song"
Spivcurls done a great job with the vocals.
Your mixing is dead on as usual but the track is definitely not what i would have expected from you (and that's meant as a compliment)

on Beautful - Will 2 0 feat Benjizo by benjizo
Well i'm probably the worst person in the world to review a hip hop track as it's not really a genre i dabble in much.
That said i'm enjoying this piece.

I like your lyrics and the vibe of the track is good as well.

Good work.

on Dub Message prod by Dubstruction by SubFreq
Well i'm no expert on dubstep but the sounds you've used in this are FAT!!
The mix is good but i would have liked to have heard the vocals over the top of the heavy stabbing sounds. Then like i say, i'm no expert at this genre and it kept me listening all the way through to see what was going to happen next.
Nice vocal work.

on Outside Looking In by Cestevens1783
A couple of bars in and i'm already feeling less anxious and more relaxed which is exactly what i could use at the moment.
Your piano riffs are excellent and compliment the string, xylophone?? and percussion sections perfectly.
I love this kind of stuff but whenever i try to make it it usually ends up turning into something more hectic.
Love the big floaty pads you used and thanks for helping me to find a calmer mood.

on Illusions by larrywiggles1
Liking this already. It's kind of like slow trance or something.
Lovely melody and the blend of different sounds is superb.
I like the way you shift the parts from one thing to another but yet manage to keep the vibe of the track flowing.
This is a very clever piece of music and i like it.
Great piece of work Mr Wiggles.

on Tears Of A Beast by Cyberliam
I can tell you were feeling moody when you wrote this, it's very dark and twisted. I thought the intro could have been a little shorter but the track itself is good.
I don't really know what category you would place this in. It's kind of break beat but more scary.
Dig the piano lick that comes in towards the final part of the track and the production is spot on.
This is an original piece and well worth listening to.
