on He Put Me There by Micky
Very Cool. In the Early Days of Acid House and Rave it was common to take preachers and religious snippetts and overlay them to the groove (ie, ¨The House of God¨), but in this you have made a cool twisted sound. That Guitar is cool. Sad news that I heard Peter Green Passed on Yesterday. Keep on experimenting Micky. It´s well appreciated around these parts!

Hello Steven,
yep - I heard of Peter Green yesterday and that makes me very sad, because I love his guitar and composition style and his overall approach so much. But, as we all know, "All things must pass". I would love to do a tribute, but that's something where I could only lose ykwIm.
Thanks for listening and commenting - highly appreciated!

on Ah - Ronabo2020 by ronabo
Great Intro. Mix is also nice and clear. Small Idea. I would occasionally use an Asymmetrical pong on the sax at certain points (sparingly at the end of a Bar) to broaden the mix. The underlying sounds are lush and thoughtful. Nice Work.!

on Ouside by DFay
Good Tune. Simon is Correct, lower those Rhodes, or soften them With a cool VST like Fab Filters Volcano. But a good Bilingual song.

on 100 YEARS by terryjmhitsong
Cool, My Uncledaddy would appreciate this one...;-) All kidding Aside, I do appreciate ole-timey country ( I grew up on as my Dad played it) as opposed to that pop-country rapey-vibe stuff on the radio now, so Well done!

on Kinda Funky by toddlove
Interesting use of a syncopated marching band cadence to start this. Builds into a jazzy-funk monster ehh? Good creative work.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it. I have an affinity for that marching band type of snare work. :)

on Control by Neomorpheus
Awesome. The percussion really hits home with this one. Definately nineties feel. Even a little Dream Theatre like (Constant Motion) Without the insane breaks they do. Nice work my friend.

Thanks for the post Steve. Yeah drums are really in your face and in your ears here. I really loved the structure of this track and the drums set so big in the mix. I just made them a bit bigger. Again I gotta give all the props to Kargalar here, without his input, all I did was make a bunch of noise.

on Labyrinth Of The Absurd pt 2 - Pain Has A Face by ValveDriver
What I appreciate about this is how true to the origins of Dubstep (Dark Step)this song is. Reminds me a bit of Bad Company ¨The Nine¨ Bro-step sort of killed the genre and sent it back to the underworld, just like Disco became commercial and House was born. Awesome mastering and sound.

Thank you, sir.

"Bro-step". Even the name sounds ridiculous.

Yeah, I love the Dubstyle. Your voice is sublime and the song kicks ass!
nice work.

on Just For Funsies by toddlove
That was fun. Like a slowed down version of Breakcore. Definately had an Eighties feel. This could work with Gouranga Music (check out the mixes that collective does)
Good Work

Hey man, thanks for stopping by and certainly thank you for the suggestion, I looked up some tracks already and dig it, so thanks for the recommendation. Anything with a good bass line and lots of good percussion is my jam!

on Please Dont Love Me Cover by EricMilligan
There is a fix for this mate. Chop up the vocoded vocal parts in an editor and make them loops (Soundeforge is good for this). The introduce them back into the song in parts as loops over the instrumental. You can also clean up the vox with a compressor or other enhancements ( I like Ozone 9). Its a cool r&B song. I like it. Good luck with it.
Steven
EricMilligan
EricMilligan replied 17th Jul 2020 - 5 years ago
Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. I did try to adjust the timing of the modulator vocal using Flextime editing in Logic. But, it wasn't very successful. I'll try your suggestion. I assume I should bounce the vocoder output down to an audio track, then chop that up into regions. Not sure if I need to actually make loops per se, just chunks of audio that I can try to place better in the groove.

Worth a try. If I get an improved version, I'll re-post.

on Fatal Ocean by Centrist
I enjoyed this one. It was dark and haunting and the way you did the vocals added to that aesthetic. very cool I like this one. I have a penchant for dark gothic songs.

on Never 2 Late ft Jani Milfsson by attictracks
I like the arrangement. The chord structure has some cool 7ths in it. Airy and syncopated it has a great vibe. nice breakdown at 1:51 cool side-chaining of her vox. But the elec piano grounds this. Really nice work.

Thanks for taking time to listen. The vocals are great, and made it easy to construct the rest of the track. Any criticisms - especially re. mix and arrangement - are always welcome!

I should start a challenge that allows others to participate on the same track. That would be very cool!

on Nightmare by Illway
Has a Melbourne house feel. I appreciate the low-end mix and work on this, but I can also hear a great potential on the high end of the mix as the song progresses to give the listener a sense of tension and apprehension. Very good

on Diverse Micky-Jynxz Project by Jynxz
I love the chord progression. I hear a lot of VSt work that mimics what I do, And I appreciate an artist like yourself who has similar musical sensibilities. It makes me feel all right with the world. For gosh sake I hear an Oboe. Awesome masterful mixing and arranging. I really appreciate this mate.

Jynxz replied 9th Jul 2020 - 5 years ago
Hello crucethus,
I usually like to play all the instruments (VST) except drums,which take way more commitment,for me.
I'm a big fan of Brass and Woodwinds,I wish there were more loops with them.
Micky really turned this track around.
I think I can hold my own with writing
I'm so so playing, but I need to learn more about mixing and mastering from you pros.
Thank you for your listen and comments

on KatesTechno Bush by bobbybooth
it has a New Order feel in some ways, like ¨Bizzare love triangle¨ for example but without a true melody. Not Bad, needs a bit of polish.

on Velvet Highway by ValveDriver
Whenever I hit a creative wall, I go make something weird an unexpected with no intention or direction to the tune. And sometimes that's the best trigger for creativity. This is dark and powerful. I like this one. The synths with the vocoded sounds almost create a chant-like effect which is cool. Very good, Welcome back.

ValveDriver replied 6th Jul 2020 - 5 years ago
Thank you, Steven. This was exactly that. A creative trigger. Granted, I followed old Valvedriver formula, but, none the less, it got the ball rollin’.
I appreciate the compliment. Your opinion has always mattered a great deal to me.

With respect, take care.

on The Chronicles of Malena by Underleven
This is really nice. I would love to hear the story behind the making of this. I love the percussion and how the pads build in an epic way. It feels like two different songs after we get the breakdown. My only suggestions are at 1;58 put some white noise rising into those synth stabs, and back down on the limiter compression in the section as it´s bricking a bit. I like how it melds back into the original theme. But from 2:06 it´s just a bit too compressed. I really like this one though. Musically itś really good.

on CTHULHU CALLING third version by Stereonomicon
Perfect. I just made a nice cup of Chai Tea, Sat back and hit play to hear what my friend Marco has done with this. Love the bass intro fading in from the ocean. Cool the bass and the analoge toms are forbidding, then the squelchy synths remind you of some sick demented sea creature rising up. then the sequenced arpeggio synths are the people running away from the sea monster. The detuned choral synths represent people yelling, and the xylophone-like synths celebrate confusion. 3:18 is a subtle bass making you feel that the Monster is upon them, and the wispy synths are people being struck by its tentacled appendages. The white noise is the hopelessness of the situation for all the carnage wrought. The scene is now desolate. Yeah, I think you nailed the meaning of Cthulhu, and how´s that for a description. It was a really good cup of tea, and a good listen.
Have a good night mate.

Hi Steven! Your descriptions are incredible, full of fantasy and fascinating images and they give me great satisfaction when I read them. I believe you have a natural predisposition to writing short stories or perhaps books, which you could develop very well. Thanks and greetings, see you soon Marco

on weapons of the gods by terryjmhitsong
Nice Intro. Really sweet peaceful tune. I found myself singing along with nonsense lyrics. 1:01 is awesome, I love breakdowns like this, and it´s genius. Fav´d Also the moving bassline is awesome. And the mix kicks ass. I really liked this one Mate.
