on The Face Of Last Place by MOONLYTE
This is good. awesome production on the vocals. You have been really improving over the last year ehh? Myself, not a fan of the hip hop genre, but I can appreciate the best of it. I know you do metal. I could hear in the chorus a full on metal explosion vocally and instrumentally. good tune.! Fav´d

I think I've been approving quite a bit as well. And I also thought about doing some screams in the chorus but thought it would be too much as the music has a lot going on that area already. Might get drowned out or have too much going at once. Maybe I will try in the future. Thanks for the listen!

on Can You Feel My Pain Feat WithoutMyArmor by zacvoos
Well, I just want to say Wow!, great job. What I loved is the verses. They were freaking perfect professional sounding segments. What I did not like was the first chorus. the second chorus however captured what you should do with this song and his voice. make it minimal to bring the emotion of his voice in, and then smash us with that verse again. keep on this one you are so close to perfection.

on Back 2 Life feat Nick StoneStreet by Zivonmusic
I do like this, it´s a nice chord progression. The vocals need to come up in the mix. They are still buried in the back of the song. Also might I suggest dropping a little cash on buying Valhalla VST. It is the most amazing reverb, digital echo you will ever work with, and it´s not that expensive. If your going to mix vocals, you will need it. overall it´s progressing lovely.
carry on

I may have just pooped my pants. Lets just say that was intense. The Whispering voices juxtaposed with the tourette´s like whup´s made me think this is what Schizophrenia might just feel like. You sir are taking D & B somewhere else this evening. and keep on expanding it.

Greetings O´ Smiter of the orange haired despotic one!
Nice dynamics. 2:00 was uplifting as all get out. Loved that progression. I could almost hear lyrics for this one. 3:02 is another sound that I am enjoying greatly.

Thanx for the wonderful comment(brilliant is so cool).Sorry it did not please you as
one might expect.This is a minimalistic recording not really intended
to break into separate movements but more into a wall of sound that the listener
has to separate.Not a genre for everyone,I know it's so mono, and as
a composition it sounds like that's the way you heard it. So in my attempt
to create a minimalism recording I succeeded.As always it's difficult to
place our stuff in the proper genre just not enough choices.Oh well ..
hope the next one is more to your liking. ..thanx.....Doc

on Hot Shoe by silverman
Nice bass intro. Reminded me of Joy Division for a second. This almost has a psychedelic drone like quality. Then that panned organ. brilliant mixing. I feel I´m tripping and I´m stone cold sober! So many good things going on. brilliant work my friend, i am truly impressed.

Joy Division!
That's a huge compliment.
I'm from Manchester N.England originally and was a big part of the Hacienda club scene and JD were a huge part of that scene too.
Anti Nazi League were big on city festivals as was reggae and John Cooper Clarke was churning out poetry like there was no tomorrow.
Drugs by the truck load ...... Those were the days.
Sorry about that you just sent me back to the eighties!
Thanx for the encouragement Steve.

on One Final Night with Shota by Judah76
Great Intro, wrong key, drop that intro down a half step and it will work with the rest of this convoluted and staccato´d sound. It´s interesting, but it´s not pop.

on The Emperors Secret Rocket Garden by silverman
Nice musical commentary on current affairs. I hear Chinese traditional: I am loving the mixing of sounds and genres. masterful so far my friend. The panned chanting is awesome as well. I s that a North Korean nuke I hear launching. 3:30 it just get ominous sounding. Then @ 6:32 it gets interesting with that sinister beat and semi Phrygian scale. reminds me slightly of Bear Mcrearyś sound in BSG. Awesome song my friend. I enjoyed that experience. Nice sub bass end as well.
cool.

Thanks for the encouregment Cruce.Hello Mister Steve. How nice to arrive here and find three of the most creative and talented people on these boards liking my work! I wanted ominous as you do in a potential third world war scenario but I also wanted a calm Emperor proudly defending his people and paddy fields his culture and dreams.
I need to shorten it somewhat. Thanks for the encouragement mate.

on The stars by smallpaul
Awesome, awesome. and awesome. I love Korg for Bass. I used a MS2000 for many years as my go to bass. I have the legacy VST set and love to use the bass. mix that with a Jupiter 8 pad and you are all set with the arrays that it provides. Your work is sublime. Thoroughly enjoyed my listen!

Hi Cru, thanks for stopping by. I wish I had bought the Legacy set now, but I am still more than happy with the M1 and the Wavestation. I just wish I had more time for music production! Thanks again for stopping by and reviewing, will be sure to do the same in due course.

on Brainspotting by DubSmockers
You captured that era, and that film with beauty and grace. signature acid filters, but a very tech-house beat and sound that just solidifies the genre. great work. nice mix, good separation of bass and high notes. gets to the point and drills it home. Nice break @ 2:43. good work Bleep

on Opposites Subtract by StaticNomad
Greetings. Stuttering Numnuts
Great Title, Nice intro, I like the kick and high hat only intro. This might be the most compression I have heard you use on a finished tune so far. Musically it´s a nice expression of various phrases and cello rifts. 1.34 is cool with that bass line and a simple piano. the breakbeats are also nice. I think you could layer a nice guitar screaming over the top of the phrases from about 2:30 to 3:27. 4.04 a simple mood change. Piano is perfect in this. Simple but effective. have you evr thought about using a phaser effect on the cello? not that it is needed or wanted here but just a random thought! 5:53 is a nice chorus sound. Nice Build at 6:35. 7:00 you almost get a fiddle effect for the sound. 8:09 nice break again. Piano again leads the way. So the ending on the piano is the right idea. and you end with it an E minor chord on the piano, but play one more note a piano playing c major chord and it will be a perfect ending because it will remind the listener of the tasteful piano structure you developed earlier in the tune. I liked it it has the structure ideas of some of your earlier songs but we get a cello instead of a guitar. It was the subtle musical choices in the piece that swung me over to the favourable side. you get a pack of pasties for your efforts!!

Word up, Crumbnuts*.

It's true that my nuts are quite numb, mostly from the stutter effects I have been applying to them.

It's an interesting title and I find myself quite subtracted to you (because we are opposites).

I'm not that keen on the layered cello intro before the kick and hat enter. Hard to explain why though it was the very first thing I came up with for the track and everything grew out of it.

For the last few months I have been applying a limiter to nearly every track as a master effect. I'm quite concerned about my blocky waveforms but I prefer the louder, more powerful sounds. You must tell me if I've overdone the limiting.

"1.34 is cool with that bass line"

Yes, very busy and intricate bass. I've got a series of intros before the proper track really starts around 1:30 with the piano and bass. And then lots of dnb breaks are introduced.

"could layer a nice guitar screaming"

Indeed though I'm barely playing guitar anymore and have become pretty average at it. Cello has totally taken over. I really hope the guitar magic will return. It's a shame to waste the ability as I still think of it as my main instrument.

"Piano is perfect"

I think it's decent and a bit of a surprise in dnb, as is the cello. Though you fully expect there to be some cello in drum 'n' cell.

I haven't really tried phaser on cello. Not an effect I use often. Can sound a bit fake and over the top.

"5:53 is a nice chorus sound"

That's partly a choir pad.

"Nice Build at 6:35"

It's getting heavier now. And then a fiddle? Like a violin? Maybe. It's distorted cello.

"8:09 nice break again"

Nice to come down again. 8:07-8:09 is a cool delayed snippet of cello. Sounds like it has wah on it.

I will try your piano ending idea.

A pack of pasties? Are they sweets? Or are they like Cornish paasties?

Thanks for the details...
