on Til We Meet Again feat Emilyn by bluelightpacific
Nice Piano Intro. Good vocals. Builds nicely. This is like Pop from the early Nineties mate. Good Work and thanks for sharing this with us.

on A trip to the planet Yuggoth by Stereonomicon
I think this captures the ¨Lovecraftian¨ ethos quite well. nice work, great panning. Cool Synth Trills around 2:38. Overall you have such a grasp on this sound. Bravo

on Far Away Prod By Legendary by IAmLegendary
Nice Intro. Also a duet. Really well put together. Nice Mix. I like how the bass drives the chord progression really well creating minor 7ths and such. Really Good Job.

on Do You Like Music by toddlove
Interesting Break-beat Tune. I like the horns at the end. The instrument count is just fine. The Drums push the clip envelope a little bit as if u used a decimator on them. my only critique, but it´s good.

on ANONYMOUS AAP FT LEO VALENTINE by djphildrummin
i'm Going to BUY YOU A CAPS LOCK ELIMINATOR BUTTON. beyond that, this is a good arrangement musically. I want you to work on the mix. it needs some stereo separation and depth. I love the abrupt ending. Your Musical instincts are so spot on and the creative talent is there. I just think you need the goods (VST, s) to separate you from the pack.
Listening and Encouraging the talent you have.

on Lounge by dvnmusic
Yeah I´m ok with the Key disparity as it does kind of flow in the Circle of 5ths Music Theory Wise. But it needs a bit more diversity in its instruments to make it more compelling as an overall composition. But I really like what I heard.

on Promises feat Patricia Edwards by Micky
Cool, you made a completely upbeat version of this Pella. I had created a much darker version a few years ago, and is no longer available on this site, but this one is just full of joy. The opening drum salvo caught my ear as it reminded me ever so slightly of Armand van Helden's drum work on Sneaker Pimps ¨Spin Spin Sugar¨ Which to me is one of the all-time greatest garage minimalist mix ever produced. But you just injected this tune with some pleasant goodness which we all could use in these trying times. Nice work.

on Where Is She by HeathAlexander
Great Intro. The distorted melody line is interesting. 1:44 it all comes together. Indeed nice bass work. 2:16 is a nice comedown. 2:45 reminds us why we are all here. Always changing and effervescent! Unexpected ending but it works with a cool verb. Nice work.

on Vibrations by toddlove
Hey Mate, My apologies for being so Blunt. So Brick walling refers to the Waveform which literally looks like a brick. Reasons for this are usually using too much massive compressor/ limiter. There is nothing wrong with compression but you must lower the input to gain more dynamic sounds. When you brick-wall you sometimes lose the listener as it can become tiring to the ears to listen to. There are a few schools of thought on this sometimes called the ¨loudness wars¨. Believe me, a few years ago I was caught up in this as well. But I realized the comments people have With, my sounds now are more about how good the quality is and the stereo spatial separation as opposed to the slamming sounds. Less is better sometimes. You did back down a bit and it does have a better listenability. Virginia Slim is on the ball with his comments. presets are nice, but experiment with the tools by trying different settings. We all have the impulses to push the lever all the way up, but if you learn discretion and backing down on the Gain, you will see some amazing results. Trust me mate. I like what I hear, it just needs some fine-tuning, but you are9 on the right track.

toddlove replied 10th Jun 2020 - 5 years ago
Hey man, thank you so much for returning and for explaining things further, it is both helpful and appreciated! I feel like the brick problem is coming from the mastering part of the equation because the file I bounced out of Garageband isn't slammed, there is no visible clipping at all on the wav file. I have limited knowledge of mastering (obviously) so am using presets in T-Racks 5 which usually make things sound better overall but I need to learn how to go beyond the presets. I'm not there yet though. I did take one more stab at trying to lower the overall volume and "brick" problem and have uploaded another revision. Hopefully this one is even a little more "listenable". :) Anyway, I know I still have tons to learn which is both exciting and daunting at the same time. I really do appreciate your time and advise, so thank you!!!!

Outside of the bricked compression dynamics, this is a cool industrial tune.
Cru
toddlove
toddlove replied 9th Jun 2020 - 5 years ago
Thank you so much for your comment. So, I'm still sort of a newb at mixing and mastering etc. When you say "bricked compression dynamics", do you mean it's clipped and or too loud?

I have replaced the original track here with a slightly more "gentle" approach. Not sure if you can tell if this is any better or not?

Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to listen and comment, much appreciated!

Has the beginnings of an Anthem house tune. Needs to expand its musical horizons at 1;36 With a killer bassline ehh? A Good Start indeed

cool, well thought out arrangement. Like Reggaeton Vapourware. The title fits the sound. I would like to hear you not follow the melody and bass lines so exactly. Explore counterpoint in your songs and you will be pleasantly surprised. Nice Job
