on Can This Be Love by Reyer
I like this track very much, but.............. it isn't mine, and that is a definite drawback (lol). Nice track, brother, I enjoyed it. Keep it up.

on The Black in Blue by Planetjazzbass
Hi planet, it's been a long time. I was gone for a very long time. It's nice to be back and I'm glad to see you are still here.

Re the track: I liked this track because I felt the ease and the relaxation in it, something I need ever more of, and something that seems ever more difficult to find.

Production id great, transitions are great, instrumentation is great.

Great track

Well constructed. The transitions are seamless. Nice blend of sounds, but here is another one that I thought was over too soon. What that means is that this was so good I wanted to hear more.

Nice work

on thirty plus two by oasisduke
First of all, where's the rest of the song (lol), I want more. What you have so far is sweet.
Second, if that is your pic you're using as your avatar, you should be in movies because that is a face I want to see on the big screen.

All the best, always

on woven wonders salook co lab extendah by arkeyetexture
Liked this the first time I listened to it, like it even better the second time. Love the mix of sounds you have here, some of which I recognize because I've used them as well.

Great track

thank you john. i surely appreciate the listen and review. all of the sounds i laid out were done in reason on midi roll. then with this version i exported each channel as a stem dropped them into abelton, added some harmonic ping pong delay to certain stems. i am very happy with this one. i hope it is received as well as the original mix. again many thanks for the kind words! Peace and Blessings, Ark.

on Loneliness Is My Guide ft Jack Russell by rei4real
Together, you two put together a beautiful jazz piece. nice use of piano there to compliment the guitar. Seamless transitions, pretty little bells (not sure what instrument, but nice). Man, it all works together, this track is awesome.

Ultimate compliment (I'm downloading it). oh and I'll fav as well lol ;-)

on Strangers by After_The_End
Damn dude, this is a great rock track. I haven't heard this style for a long time. It has some of that 80s appeal, but still sounds modern. Great vocals, oh hell, it's just a great track. I'd like to download it, the ultimate compliment, but............

I don't really know what to say other than I think it was a great piece and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. Well produced, nice transitions and it stays interesting from beginning to end.

on Journey by ReignMD
Excellent track. You know, before I joined this site I wasn't much of a fan of rap. Not to say I didn't like it at all, I was there when it first broke out in the 70s and I knew then it would be big. I just didn't like where it went. But because of artists such as yourself and many others on this site, not only have I become a fan of rap, I've even used it a couple times in my tracks.

This track is a fine example of what is great about the genre.

Keep it up

John

ReignMD replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I don't really know what to say to that, except thanks. There are truly some great and awsomely unique artists on this site including yourself. Keep doing what you do and thanks for the review.

This is a seriously sweet track. Lovin' the piano to death, and everything works with it seamlessly.

Awesome job

on scratch n sniff by sparkfirehot
The other reviewers are correct, this is a very good track. The ending is very abrupt. Sometimes that is a good thing, like when transition into another track that starts as powerfully as the last finished. I think eshar is right, though, maybe fade it out.

on the banger pella by thorpy
Great job. Loving it.

re ccmixter, the acapellas are not so much free as they are free with limitations. Usually the artist wants to be contacted (good way to protect yourself from litigation) and the acapella cannot be used for commercial purposes unless explicitly stated.

I think the singer would love what you've done with this track.

This would make for a great cinematic track in an action movie or a sci fi movie. Lots going on and great energy.

Sweet track

on Slow Pop Instrumental! by Jalyn
I love your piano work, you're as talented a musician as you are a producer. This is a very pretty piece, but strong. Can't quite get a grip on what emotion it evokes exactly, perhaps pensive, like there's a lot weighing on the mind. Then, when the synth kicks in, it seems like there's a moment of clarity.

A wonderful piece of art

John
