I've updated this, I think I'm happy with it.
on Hype Prod-Trap Doggo by RobinMBeatz
Loving the chill vibes you have going on here. The sparse nature of the arrangement can allow vocals, but It still sounds great without. Awesome stuff.

on Saw you by MGproduct
Your vocals are great. And the track is really upbeat and catchy. catchy little riff as well.
I have a couple of tips for the vox. 1: There seems to be some breathy pops when you sing. I'm guessing you didn't use a pop shield? If not they are a great investment. Really cleans up the recording. 2) Where you have double up your vox, it seems that the mids are interfering with each other. Just EQ them so there is space for each of them. This will make them sit better in the mix.
Hope this helps you make a really good track great.

on The Bar by gfischer0
I have to say, I really admire the way you conjured the visuals of people talking and drinking at a bar. Then you wove you sound around that setting and... it feels like reminiscing with friends. Beautifully done.

on Once In Every Lifetime by wemert
This is a great song. Your voice is strong and very emotive. I really enjoyed the performance.
If I may give a little tip: because your voice is very powerful, it distorts at certain points on the highs. Pull back away from the microphone a bit and it will make your performance sound even clearer.
Once again, great performance.

on H O M E by DynamiteSkye
Just going by what you have uploaded, it's sounding pretty slick for a demo. I don't really like commenting on other peoples lyrics but it sounds like you are feeling what you sing and that's what is important.
As Danke said, there feels like there is a drop coming.
I look forward to hearing more.

on Retrograde Ready Set Go by OfficialMessenger
I'm not an expert on the genre. But I can appreciate how much work you've put into this. The aggressive beats mixed with the airy pads, synth stabs and vocal modulation are all executed well here. It has that euphoric club anthem feel that you want from this kind of track. Sounds good.

Awesome work.

It takes you to a warm, fuzzy place and holds you there. The soundscape changes constantly, in subtle waves. It's a gentle, but fascinating journey. Well played, Sir!

on Demo Feedback by Mario
What I will say is there isn't a progression change, more a refrain or middle 8 that kicks in at 1:35. This feels like it's building back to the chorus section (look back at the 0:07 mark). If it were me I'd bring that chorus hook back in at 2:05, then use the rest for an outro.
These are just my thoughts of course. But whatever you do, don't give up on it as there's a lot of potential here.
Regards,

on Le Vampire Romantique by Orlando51
I'm liking the subject matter. Interview with a Vampire is a classic Gothic horror with it's dark, erotic romanticism. Your narrative is a nice variation of those themes. On to the song....
I like the slow build, a fade in from black, setting the scene. The intro piano line with it's irregular stabs and key strokes helps create a tone between threatening and melancholy.
at 1:10 - do i detect a hint of Tubular bells in the background. And again at 1;50. Whether intentional or not, it's a cool reference.
The reverb is well thought out in this track. The violins give a lot of airy space for the song to breathe. The drums feel slightly more oppressive and the piano dances between the two.
Overall a great track. It drips with melancholy, mystery and dark passion.
Well done sir.

Anyways I have to say big thank you for this comprehensive and friendly feedback....means alot!

on Northern Flicker by Evisma
Favourite bit has to be the break at 1:27 and the whole middle section. It's progressive, trippy goodness. It builds anticipation as we prepare for the next heavy section (which does not disappoint).
Definitely a fave!

Take care

on Break your Limits by MagneticRecords
I really like the production on this track, its very clean, yet chaotic. It put me in the mind of futuristic racing games like FZero or Wipeout. Club tunes to race to :D
Cool stuff.

on ein neuer anfang by joecramer

You got me. In a way almost all i do is at least a little industrial. That is for sure cause the 80's starts when i was 15 and i listen to industrial and ebm and dark wave and stuff all day then (to now). I like the picture that you talked about. Maybe it is a kind of an organic machine from outa space?
Thanks a lot for your nice comment. I really enjoyed it and i am happy that you could enjoy the listen.
stay tuned

on Staring at the Eclipse by crucethus
I love what you've done with the samples. Rather than trying to shoehorn all of them into one track, you've created something both fluid and cohesive. I agree that the song is chill out, but it also gives me a gentle feeling of melancholy. It's not full on sadness just a dull ache, as if a great joy is just out of reach. Does that make sense?
Anyway, it made me feel something. And that's the sign of good musicianship.

Thank you for describing what has been difficult to describe my entire life. There are certain sounds when I would hear them even as a boy that would make me feel this immense not quite sad feeling but almost a longing aching for something or someone from the past that you had lost. not quite loneliness, not quite sadness, not quite grief. but its that feeling in the side of your ribs when you ache with despair for some reason. That signature Pad from ED makes me feel that way when I hear it. it's almost a melancholic-nostalgic ennui feeling that I am sure another language than English could describe better. For me that was the starting point. to build around this" feeling" with changing percussion and other worldly vocals that reminded you of Late sixties star trek theme or the psychedelic movement out of SF. Thanks for pointing out what was hard for me to pin down in this tune. Thats the sign of great ears my friend.

I don't know for sure that I shun linear progression, but I am sure that I have no true conception of it. Maybe it is a disability, or a beneficial trait for an artist.
As far as distorting the familiar, I do agree that this is something I focus upon... not simply in music, but in general. My suit coat has sported a button/pinback for many years which states, "question reality" which I suppose, for me, would be a first step in the quest to distort the familiar.
The word "satire" has come up a few times since I released this song, which made me think a bit more upon the subject of satire. I became interested, since my intent was not satire, but in fact something to be taken literally. Who am I to judge the impression of listeners though? I am no one. I am nothing. I am wildlife. I am vermin. (Is this satire as well?)
Either way, I am very happy to receive your comment, and I thank you!
