on Sunrise at the Beach by DESTERO
Ah, this, good sir, is topless barbecuing music.

Accompanied by a ridiculous video of people in a jungle setting sensually covering themselves in steak sauce using potholders and oven mitts.

I want no part in the making of the video, but wouldn't mind a peak at the finished product.

on 15 Minutes Isnt All We Can Have by MOONLYTE
The deep screaming line that is under the main vocal line is a bit distracting and messes with the mix. Sounds like you took the main vocal and doubled it down an octave or two. Still, everything keeps sounding better!

Hey evisma, i the deeper scream is actually a whole seperate recording of me, and may be a bit distracting dto the volume level issues, but im glad you think im making progress :) hope to hear from you again on future tracks

on cockblocking is not a game by evilarmy83
Well, this is a bit of heavy riffage. The lead line later was well done. Like how the riff you end with is the first main riff, sneaky. I like it.

Take care.

on Synthicator by MOONLYTE
The only thing I would say rubbed me wrong was how extreme the panning was in the middle section.

2:30 on is very nice and I hear what your going for.

There may be some timing issues with the drums and leads at the end, but I must say I dig it all. Kudos to you good sir, now please get the hair out of your eyes.

Fun Fact. Pirates wore eye-patches to preserve their night vision when going below deck on a sunny day. Just move the patch to the other eye, and the one you've had covered all day is very accustomed to the dark and will be perfect for the low light environment below deck.

on Enchanted Land by XmafaX
Some heavy shit here.

I must mention the 1:00 mark is sweet as hell.

Guitar tone at 1:43 is the tone I'm always wishing I could create.

Some very well written guitar lines and very mean bass lines.

Excellent job!

on The Bigger The Fatter The Better by StaticNomad
You told me about the name for this track about four months ago. Holy shit man! This is you at your finest in my opinion.

The driving drums really seem to push this mean motor-scooter along. You made the delay your bitch in many sections.

Your very good at using the drums to totally change the feel of a section, I need to start messing with that idea, though where I like to have big changes, you seem to be able to focus on one thing and make it many others, like then you use a red color filter and everything but the red shows through. Don't know if that makes sense, wont be the first time I couldn't properly explain a thought.

This one is totally fucking cool. Worth the wait to hear what you'd do with a title so ballsy.

Take care Alex,

Evan.
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 24th Apr 2014 - 11 years ago
Yo. This may be me at my heavy finest and it is my heaviest track so would appeal to people, like yourself, who like a bit of a musical face slapping. I wonder if that means metallers are masochists?

Was thinking of you when making this which might seem odd as we've never met and probably never will but I do know your music well so I think that counts for a lot. I was sure you'd like it and there's also quite a bit of bass guitar here (there's little or none in many of my tracks).

A real life friend said "its still a little too light, for me" which surprised me as I think some of it (eg 6 mins on) is pretty damn heavy. He doesn't only listen to extreme metal so I don't get that!

This Mean Motor Scooter is a potential track title though this track is more of a Harley or perhaps Batman's bike in the recent films. The one with the ridiculously wide tyres. That's the kick drums in this track!

You need to get better drum software and play around with combining multiple kits and multiple types of drumming. I have many layers on the timeline of awesome MIDI files and fills and spend ages combining and tweaking them. I take most riffs and audition beats covering many, many styles (in real time using Superior, so much fun) and then use the ones that work to drive changes. Different grooves make me play instruments in a different way.

2:25-2:46 I have tabla underneath the snare hits. Listen and you'll hear the subtle difference it makes. Would like to get more tabla in this track, especially as there's not much tabla metal about.

I cheat big time using all this awesome drum software. But, I think a creative musician such as myself deserves a kickass drummer. I don't have one (or the facility for recording a real kit, multiple mics, room etc etc) so software cheating is fine.

Yes, one of my greatest ever titles. See my first track reply to learn how I came up with it.

Finally, here's a new treat for you. The most guitarey bass sound you've ever heard (must be using an octave pedal to blend the signals).

Royal Blood - Little Monster - Later... with Jools Holland - BBC Two

on Patterns In The Clouds by MWRatridge
Your vocals always reminds me of Drive-By Truckers.

This was a good song, I liked all parts, I wish there was more of a variety in the way the verses were sung. I pretty much had heard each verse after the first one, they don't differ much besides lyrics. Kinda got old.

That's my beef with a lot of blues though, too, so it may just be me. 20 seconds of a blues song and you've heard all the parts, minus an 8 bar guitar solo.

on Way Beyond Wrong by StaticNomad
You didn't make many friends with this one. MWRatridge showed that he's an ass. Hilarious.

Lots of changes. It takes an over-sized cranium to produce this sweet milkery.

Man, the banjo always throws me in the heavy parts, like a hill-billy in a tornado.

I do like it, even if the bass is repetitive or whatever, didn't really notice. Guess Ratridge just needed to bitch. Heard his back-log? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Evan
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 15th Apr 2014 - 11 years ago
Sorry for the late reply. I was just putting off dredging up the depressing Ratridge incident. I wondered if anyone might notice that and comment on it. Glad you found it hilarious - I didn't. What happened is that, last year, I gave my one and only 'thumbs-down' review on this site to a track of his, which was his guitar and vocal additions to an interesting electronic version of Sweet Home Alabama. I didn't insult his playing - just mostly said the addition of the guitar and vocals just made it another of thousands of covers of that famous song.

So, he proceeded to check out my music, leaving a bunch of straight insults/ intelligent constructive criticism on three or four of my tracks, including this gem of a track review:

"After your extremely demeaning comment you left on my track, I expected you to be some kind of musical prodigy. WTF?"

Since having to deal with his childish, spiteful insults (including speculation about the size of my head) I've decided to essentially never again give a 'bad' track review on here. If I don't like something, I don't comment, even though I might even have some useful suggestions. I just can't be bothered to deal with unpleasant losers who can't take even mild criticism.

However, I have since commented on some other Ratridge tracks but only said good things and made, for instance, no mention of not liking his vocals. I have indeed heard his backlog but it didn't make me zzzzzzzzzzzzz. My way of dealing with childish people is not to come down to their level (doesn't always work). I've had to deal with someone much more unpleasant on this site though he seems to have given up on insulting me.

It's ironic that Ratridge chose to leave his deep and insightful 'too repetitive' analysis on a track with so very many changes.

"an over-sized cranium"

Maybe. I'm just an odd guy who thinks a lot, especially about music, and is bored by so much conventional stuff so have to work out how to combine things that I like in ways I've never heard before. I have huge musical limitations so cannot combine anywhere near as many sounds and styles as I would like. I do what I can, which is still a fair bit.

"a hill-billy in a tornado"

That could work nicely for a music video to this track. Maybe the metal band are out in the open and kicking up a tornado with their playing. And the tornado drops a hillbilly with a banjo into their midst and then whisks him away after his 30 seconds are up. I like it but then it is partly my idea so no surprise there.

on Determined by MOONLYTE
This is a hell of a lot better than the first thing of yours I heard.

I must say, your writing is great.
Vocal pitch and timing off at parts, but still better than before.

You are better than I have given you credit for.

Hope to hear from you again :)

on Popular Song EMPTINESS Music Track Music By Nilooy by NiloyMorshed
The guitar at 3:06 should have come in at 0:34. Everything else was not interesting, just the main riff setting up, then the guitar, the rest was just filler. Song doesn't start till the guitar kicks in.

Overall good writing, could go a few more places but the way you have it is fine.

Thanks Evan. I like your music too. I am first and foremost a guitarist but I just purchased a Fender VI bass guitar, so of course I wanted to give it some air in this composition. I'll post another "bass forward" track today called "Take The High Road". Check it out and give me some feedback. Your opinion matters.

on Android Porn - Brutal Remix by Abilify
Well, it's kinda lame in my opinion, but cool.

Synth timing is very off-putting from 1:00 on. Nobody mentions that, so I figured I would. Take it or leave it. Synths themselves sound fine, just bad timing after the first minute.

on Your Every Day by Cestevens1783
A very hopeful sounding track. Sounds like what Blue October has done with a few of their songs. Very delicate.

I believe you need some Crossfades to get rid of some pops, but other than that, it's a very sentimental sound that is very pleasing to the ears.

Take care.

Creepy indeed, the description mentioning "the little girl parts" doesn't help.

Mr. EYEDYE, I like the idea of where you were going, just know that stuff will be picked apart and judged, for good or bad. Examine everything you write and do before you dangle it out there.

I believe JJWeekz was very tactful and helpful and her advice should be seriously considered.

Keep at it and you WILL get better. Take care.

on Paralyzed by kriebel17
Instantly sounds radio friendly, a dog-eared blueprint.

I hear what you're going for with the vocals, but I think they need a more aggressive voice.

Auto-tune. Damn.

I think your writing of the lyrics and phrasing is good, you just need someone else doing them. Again, what you wrote was very fitting and well done. The music was pretty good too.

thanks for the input, i'll take the radio friendly thing as a compliment, and the auto tune is only towards the end , like i said in my other reply it was meant for the build up in the little rap part at the end because every rap song you hear anymore is auto tuned and i want my stuff to be mainstream so i'll follow that.
