on Distant Footsteps Nocturne by Orlando51
Well it should make me sleepy according to your description, yet it manages to keep my attention while putting the mind at an ease.
Think you did great on this Orlando ;)

on Random Acts Of Human Kindness by StaticNomad
I would rather stick with this as a short track but I know you will add in a whole lot of other stuff that is enjoyable to listen to. I always am impressed by how you layer everything heavily and there is so much going on but at the same time there seems to be room left for other stuff to come in. That's with almost all of your tracks if not all.

Thanks for sharing and it was a pleasure to listen

Hello again.

Yes, all that "other stuff that is enjoyable to listen to" is already added in. I'm just trying to finish up the big electric voodoo psychedelic rock ending and then it should be done.

Some of the other stuff is more sitar and drones and also some funky vocoded guitar.

I'm with you on this being good as a short track but it's also good to hear what it turns into. It's tempting to have a short and very long version but I guess I'll probably just put the long version on my blues album when it's done.

Yes, heavy layering whilst also leaving space is mostly a matter of listening closely and trying to sculpt and remove things that interfere with the beat or any particularly good notes or parts.

Also important is making sure that when you're adding other layers and playing them in that you try to play mostly inbetween the layers you already have. If you do play over the top of another part, maybe make the new playing long, simple notes so that there's not too much of a clash. Or short ones that don't prevent you hearing the actual tune of another part.

Difficult thing for me to explain!

This isn't that heavily layered a track for me. I feel I have to layer things so that it's not just a simple, instrumental tune that sounds like it should have vocals.

Thanks for stopping by...

on Lies Original Mix by L0neW0lf
Ahh thanks for explaining it, makes sense to me then ;)

Well in that case it is not stolen, of course things like that can happen. No problem

on Reach Part 2 by gfischer0
The only thing I think could be better is if you turned the master down a notch, If I listen very carefully I hear a bit of hizz/distortion coming through from the bass, with the master turned down this should be fine

Further nice track that you made, I like how you made use of that heavy bass while keeping it a chill out song. Further the reverse use like others mentioned sounds pretty cool

cheers

on Session by Diskonnect
Turns from a calm song into a rather trippy one, I like it ;) It's cool to hear it flow over like that and it's like a short journey over various places, at 1.24 it sounds like you are in the desert or something haha

sad though that the project is lost but it stays a nice song
so great job on it

cheers

Diskonnect replied 17th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Thanks for listening :)

Yeah it does have some trippy synth sounds. I can see where you're coming from with the desert comment as well, never thought that. Nice one!

on Bhangratechno2 by clindsay
Ahh okay, well from the positive side you don't hear the genre a lot (or at least I don't)
It surely gets people moving, can't imagine that most people stand still on this one haha

And I just realized that your picture isn't a pipe with a bush in it hahahahaha, I kept mistaking it for that for like forever but it's just the shadow that makes it look like that

clindsay replied 10th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Thanks- my reply was not really directed at your comments but to some earlier. I probably didn't do a great job of describing the track when I posted it.
If you want to hear the variety of Bhangra I have a playlist below that pretty well covers the breadth of the genre.

on Bhangratechno2 by clindsay
It was interesting hearing this song, a lot of electronics involved in this one while keeping a sort of tribal feel to it. Also some electro house sort of stuff going on.
Sure a crazy track but it was enjoyable to listen to and fun ;)

Thanks for sharing this clindsay
clindsay
clindsay replied 10th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Thanks for your comments - I think it may be appropriate to share that this is not really 'out there' within the genre. The vocals are taken form Billy Sagoo's samples and are fairly standard to the genre which is designed for dancing and celebration. Granted the house loops add a different level of energy but the purpose is to get people moving. The subtext is not subtle and this is basically a balls to the wall expression of energy with a bit of tongue in cheek.
Again, thanks for your kind comments - just want to expand on what this is supposed to be.

on Hell On Earth - A Tribute by Cestevens1783
It's nice to see how you have changed the track into a more sort of epic orchestral composition instead of the industrial kind of thing, nice job on it ;)

also credits to Centrist for the track that this is based on

Thanks for sharing

on Endless Battle-Forward March by Cestevens1783
Had to drop by into your stuff for all the support you have given me from the start when I joined here ;)

and then the first thing I hear is this and it takes me away, sounds so great ;D Think you arranged the loops perfectly and it sounds cinematic to me

Thanks for the track and the support ;)
I will go listen to some other stuff of you which is more recent, waiting for your WIP to come out finished on soundcloud

Cheers

on classic by benjizo
I already had the feeling vocals were going to be added so
in that case I will keep an eye out for when the lyrics are dropped on this one ;) I bet the final result sounds great when that is done

on classic by benjizo
Has a bit of that jazzy feeling in it or something like that I believe. Anyways it makes up for a nicely chilling track and it's nice to hear the chord changes throughout the track. It is so well structured, but the end is a bit abrupt, I would go for a fade out rather then a stop in this one
benjizo
benjizo replied 9th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Thanks Johnny,always appreciate your feedback.You right about the ending,but since this is just a beat not the final mix my plan was to fade it out when i have lyrics on it.Thanks homie.

on 1981 featuring MStokes by deciBel
The secret return of Behnam ;)

Thanks for sharing this piece with us, it would be a pity to leave this unheard and I am glad you give us the opportunity to do so.

The song itself sounds very sad and fits that of the absence someone creates...

Take care my friend

on Psychogenic Sammich by Spivkurl
Hey pat, thanks for linking me this song. I did actually happen to stumble across this previously but probably it was when I was busy and I didn't listen to it fully then,
I really liked the sound at 0.16 it sounds just so energetic for me haha.
Further not much piano added in but just a slight bit, the small parts you did put in sound nice though, challenge you to make a track with only piano ^^ but that might lie in the future since you are still practicing it anyway, though it would take away the cool spivkurl industrial sounds :/

great job ;)

Thanks for sharing this
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 11th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Hey, thanks for swinging by to comment on this song! I am just a beginner at piano, especially recording it, so yes, there isn't too much in here. Playing keyboards and organs helps a bit, and knowing some theory, but it's mostly a new beast. I don't know if I'll ever do a strictly piano song, but who knows?! I appreciate the feedback and support! I will be returning your message soon!

on Bastille - Bad Blood - Remix - FreeDownload by Lenerd73
Mm like anno mentioned the mastering could be done a bit better but it is a nice remix that you did.
I suggest to get the drums clear that you sidechain them and the vocals could be a bit clearer too so that is more a thing of turning the overall sound down while having the vocals higher qua volume.

I will listen the mastered version whenever it comes out

Further I must say you used some cool sounds to make the remix, I like them ;)

Thanks for sharing
johnnyproducing
Hearing your description I should definitely pay the Swedish nightlife a visit, seems really fun haha

Further track isn't really my type of music but it sounds pretty fun. Guess some others here can give a more detailed review on your track

Thanks for sharing

on Hypnotic Larry Wiggles aka Mark Jeffries by larrywiggles1
hey mark,
Stumbling across this track and this beat has totally got me
haha, but seriously though nice job these acid punchy basses sounded pretty cool though they both sounded a bit off like they should be timed a little different

Further the subtle use of the sitar and the strings on the background make up for a nice arrangement of different sounds.
I don't know for sure though if it's a sitar or not

thanks for sharing this with us

and keep them coming ;)

Hi JP,

Thanks for stopping and listening, and yes there a few bits that I would change if I was remixing or mastering again, but really pleased you liked. It is indeed a sampled and messed about with Sitar. Thanks again for your valued comments.

Best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

on Eyesand by Cyberliam
Nice use of the Arabic sounds, I haven't heard any of those lately and it's nice to hear some of these again, makes the track original for me ;)

Then fading over to that guitar was quiet interesting to hear, it gives the track a new swirl in another direction.

Thanks for sharing this with us

I hope you make more like this

I didn't hear of dream man yet I believe, or maybe I have
After checking he seems to be from the cold war or at least dressed like that, maybe involve some of that in your song ^^

Anyways it's cool to hear that you base your album on the game

Best of luck with the final production

on Lies Original Mix by L0neW0lf
Could you explain me what's up with the youtube upload that jaketer985 pointed out?

Still a little skeptical but I feel like you tell the truth
so I would say you made one awesome track, it hits so hard and the soundcloud upload sounds way better luckily without the distortion

I wonder how you managed to create these sounds, they are indeed datsik level like Cyberliam said ;)

Hope you make some more like this

L0neW0lf replied 9th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Well, about a year ago Rankin Audio, a sample label btw, released an Ableton remix template, we both bought it apparently, so it's a bit tough to explain that given the template is royalty-free and all…… :/

It's cool how you created the ambience of rain, it is very vivid. And it fits with the current weather I am experiencing here.
Further though it is simplistic it still manages to sound interesting which is something not anyone manages to do.

this piece is really simple, but the important thing is feeling that music is able to create, an imagination, a thought, this is something very interesting.

Thank you again

on Track 50 by FreeRadical
That vocals sample that says "I'll give you pleasure" is it from the basic FL studio stuff?
I found one sounding almost exactly similar hahaha

must say it sounds pretty damn cool, I like the transitions to the new parts and it makes it interesting to listen to it. It's a nice minimix of songs, thanks for sharing it with us FreeRadical ;)
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 8th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Yeah there is a free sample that says that but i got it from the image line vocal samples pack. Been spending lots of dollar on pro stuff just lateley in the hope i can make better tunes. Just splashed out again on Magix music maker because i like the stuff that BrillBilly does (and it comes with a USB keyboard which is great because i'm bored with having to draw everything in)
Anyway i'm waffling so i'll just finish by saying thanks for checking out my mini mix and leaving your thoughts.
