I may have to adjust the vocal and re-upload it though, as a few people have mentioned it now.

on 28 Levels Above Top Secret by StaticNomad
Although throughout it's chaotic length, there are some parts that are weaker than others, it really is an impressive piece of work. Exhausting and brilliant. Thanks for recommending.
TA
Thanks for giving this a go. I get what you mean about saving some genres and chord progressions for everyone else. I was in some crazy, rich vein of form making this and most stuff that I threw at it seemed to find its way in.
" It never stays static"
That's because it's a nomad working it, moving it here, there and everywhere.
"I know you must have put a lot of effort into the changes, 9/10 it seems effortless."
Yes, loads of effort in carefully trimming and automating everything but good to know it all seems to fit together and, I guess, flow smoothly.
"there are some parts that are weaker than others"
That's inevitable as it's hard to make every section a highlight. Many exist just a means of getting from one existing section to another. And then they keep getting extended as the ideas flow. But feel free to point out any particular problem sections and I'll see if I can make improvements.
"Exhausting"
Yes - there's a very welcome break at 3:24. Before that, I felt it was wave after wave of intense madness.
This track has two sister tracks (this is perhaps the best) ie same project so same tempo, many shared sounds etc. I could have made them all as one 40 min track but it's much better for them to be separate. They are:

I like the way this track builds and the samples are great. The ticking clock on the break is a really nice touch. I can really appreciate how much thought you've put into the composition. The horns are different and quite catchy as well. So it's a full package of musical goodies. It's a like from me :)

on 2 Souls by Minor2Go ft mildperil by mildperil
As has been mentioned, you may need to bring down the highest frequencies when you EQ. It will cut some of the microphones fuzz. Also, fade the track to near silence when you finish a line. It will clear up any static noise in between. Oh and make more beautiful music. You are very talented.
TA
And as for the EQ, I'm a complete amateur, so this kind of advice is gold to me. I have actually invested in Alloy2 and am putting some time in to learn, so hopefully any future songs will be better mixed.

Wish I had the kind of vocals that could work for this. But I'm not a metal vocalist. I look forward to hearing more.

Always nice to know that there are people around who listen to my music and like the way i do my stuff.
Sounds maybe a bit strange but i never own any good instrument or mic or recorder or computer or or or . I call myself the real low teck man but now, after 35 years of makeing music, i think i should invest just a few euros into a better mic :)
stay tuned

on Chasm by StaticNomad

Have you got any tracks with extremely stretched guitars in them that I could hear?
You're right about the timestretch shimmer effect. It's amazing.
It seems to work particularly well with slide guitar parts. Something to do with the fact that the slide is moving through each microtone as it moves up or down a string. And then that gets seriously elongated, producing some haunting sounds. But the vocal qualities produced here I still don't understand!
"the opening melodies"
I guess you mean the lead melodic guitar starting 0:21. I used a section of that guitar playing for timestretching (and sprinkling throughout the track) as the chords are so pleasant. Strange to put that kind of melodic chill vibe over this powerful doom-like stuff. I think it actually stops it from being doom.
I'm working on a chillout ambient funk remix/continuation of this track right now though it's not going too well.
"the feeling of sheer joy you seem to feel when just rocking out."
Very pleased to hear you feel that too as my instrument playing is mostly about joy and groove and melody. Even when hard rocking or playing metal it's very rarely aggressive but about luxuriating in powerful, psychedelic sounds and fun grooves.
"It's gonna take a few listens to capture everything that's going on here"
Always the aim with every track I make. I look to make deep stuff that offers more and more and that is unlike throwaway pop music.
Thanks again.

on Glaciers -Ft Jodie Cannon- by skwishfish
My only criticism is the claps in the second chorus. They're not quite snappy enough to punctuate the beats as they should do. However, It's a small qualm in an otherwise brilliant track. Thanks for sharing.
TA
You should give Ice House a shot! Only good things come from experimenting!!
on Gritty Deeds by SubChief
Best of luck in developing the track, I look forward to seeing where you take it.
TA
Thanks for the advice, I will take it on board and see what I can come up with.
