Thanks karl, I dont have talent my friend, everyone can be like me or even better if they try just like me, my music life was vain however thanks for your comment and no, it made only in couple of hours peace J_*
Nice experimantal music... Really nice and clear sound. Great tranistion as well. I think you shouldnt stop making music. At least not indefinetly. Music is for all times and all ages imo. But good luck with your life anyway...
Wouldn't that be called improvisational playing? I love doing that!! That's how I do lead guitar and bass, don't think about it, just play letting the feelings flow. Thinking will cause you to mess up everytime! Love acoustic guitar. Well done.
yes thats improvisational playing actually I get some of my ideas by doing this sometimes you can get a real melody, rhythm, solo and etc from improvisational playing Thanks for your comment and for your time pal Kindest Regards J_*
Alright now this is a powerful piece. Piano really drives home the emotion. I love what you have but I have a suggestion. Aside from the synth I feel like the reverse crash transition can be improved. Here's my suggestion: - Lower the volume a bit first it really cut through my ears lol. - Fade out the last few milliseconds of it where this is a sharp increase in the amplitude of the waveform. I cant tell you how much that all depends on the sound itself. - Add a heavy reveerb. Depending on the controls add lots of wetness, dampness, and extend decay time. Size, hi cut, and lo cut should also be altered but I cant give you the details on that since it depends. Of course its just a suggestion and I would like to give you an idea of how it sounds but I do not have any tracks uploaded that posses it. But I can send you a wav file if you are interested so u can get the idea of what Im talking about. But anyway thats just a lot of detail for a small part of the track. The majority of it sounds exceptional and very powerful. Omar
Greetings Omar Thanks for your great feedback and for listening my track yea that crash can be improved I got you and I will be glad if you send me that file again thanks for your feedback, your comment and your time Kindest Regards J_*
Really deep work, and meaningful...I liked how you used baby sound , really sad but war doesnt end on this planet because people dont think about being a "real human" ..
Have to agree with tumbleweed on the "louder is not better". There are a few parts that are just a little too loud. But its a good song nonetheless. Keep it up
Nicely done. It's not easy to figure out a song in two hours. I love acoustic music, so this one was a pleasure to listen to this morning. Keep at it, practicing your craft will only make you better. I hope all is well.
While I don't usually listen to much instrumental hip hop, I can really appreciate the value of this track! Has an epic feel, and a good rhythmic flow. For a virtual piano, the part sounds pretty expressive. That synth section which people have been complaining about could be good if it were more in key and turned down in the mix considerably. The sound itself is pretty cool, heh. Thanks for sharing this cool music.
Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from God, to justice, to simple, psychotic rage."
-Ron Pearlman as the Narrator of Fallout3.
As frightening, and devastating as it is, war is necessary. While I don't welcome war, I welcome the potential it brings afterwards. It's like a forest fire. It may burn the forest down, but the ashes leave the soil enriched for a completely new growth of healthy life. We have reached a point in our time where our understanding of technology, and social equities have outgrown the primitive attitude toward them. Mentally, we still live in the dark ages wielding pitchforks and torches at anything that seems "different to the masses." The generation coming up now has an advantage that those of us born before 1980 don't have; Understanding. An understanding of fairness, simplicity in work ethics, technological advancement, and I believe, the ineffectiveness of the old world political beliefs. If we are truly on the brink of another world war, I have high hopes that the "millineals" will rebuild the human race as it was meant to be. With compassion, kindness, and peace at the forefront. I've always said, "Times change. People don't." I'm hoping to be proven wrong."
Oh....wait, this is supposed to be a track review. Not a philosophical ranting platform. Let me just climb back down off of my soapbox.
Onto the track review.
The concept: A good one. It's obviously thought provoking, and touching. Which is exactly what art is supposed to be. There is definitely a story told, and the music is fitting for the emotions you're trying to convey.
The composition: You managed to pack in 75 years of war into under 5 minutes. It wasn't rushed, and everything played it's part well.
The mixing: I think, mainly due to, what I assume is a lack of experience, the mix was a little crammed. Almost everything sits directly in the center. If you had panned them out it would have created a much more spacious, and dynamic sound. Which, let's face it, war is spacious and dynamic. The laser sounds, some of the synths, and a few of the sound effects are, however, panned nicely. I think some of the levels could be brought down a little. There are some things that overstep others. Remember, when mixing, it's always better to bring the volume of one thing down, than to raise the volume of everything around it.
Overall, man, I give this a thumbs up. You're doing good things here. Keep it up!
First of all Thank you for your great comment Sloe you are truely right because I putted everything in center (except a few effects) and I know it could be better if I had better panning for the volume of the song, thanks for your feedback and I think its loud a bit too.
but about your first wrotes:
Yes, human wars can't be changed. but everything has a way, I tried to help people to understand why we are here and what should we do here actually, thats why Im here, on the earth
my dear friend and dear master, human changes, everything changes in this world, this is the reason why we are here, to be changed, for evolution, for being what we should be
every baby's born is the sign of that god is not frustrated from human
who knows what will be happened if we all die, human created from soil, and it will back to the soil, and it will be happen again and again until we become completed
a lot of people think we have no gods and we have been created by the nature, but question is, who created nature? bigbang? but in bigbang theory we have an explotion happened in vacuum, but no explotion happens in vacuum
but most of people think we have a god which is watching us and and and and...
both of them can't be true because we actually dont know who is god? what "GOD" means? god is an energy and as you can think, feel and etc... energy can do it in the best way
energy doesnt need anything to be alive and it can do everything
so... why should we prove in our evolution? thats the question that all should ask ourselves
thanks for your care Sloe (Handshake) Kindest Regards J_*
I like the way how you incorporated those battle elements as well as future war laser elements. Nice concept. It is basically a techno track and you did it very well. I love the positive resolutions in big classical forms in general. There is always a light.
I just played some of your other tracks and I can appreciate your acoustic ones. This one is different from others and it is way too hot mixed. It sounds very distorted at some regions to me but overall I liked your vision and the positive message of the track.
Thank you for listening my track Im so glad you liked it Thanks again for playing my other tracks and I should say "my acoustic tracks love you too (kidding :D)" Thanks and Kindest regards J_*
WOW I really am amazed, this is so meaningful I felt the story in this song. We all wish for peace on earth but it wont happen because there is money in war, that is why countries create them. Its been going on like this for years and I will be long gone and possibly you too before peace on earth happens. Sad but true.
True my friend the whole peace is impossible cuz there are a lot of creatures that dont want to know why we are here on the earth so thank you for your comment steve and you told my next album's name in the end of your sentence ("sad but true") and it made me amazed Best wishes and Kindest regards J_*
Stop saying its not good NJNS....music is how many of us express what we feel and its the emotion that matters...not the technical stuff...I don`t know or care much about genres but this sounds more like a trance mix to me...If you don`t mind a suggestion...don`t limit the mix so hard..it works o.k. in electronica I guess but it takes out and squashes to death a lot of the dynamics in the sounds...louder is not better....Just use soft limiting & let the music speak...You are really doing well...I think each of your mixes keep getting better...keep on doing it..thats how we all learn.....A tip of the hat to you my young friend.....all the best...Ed
thank you very much for your great feedback yea you're right, when I was creating this track, I didnt know how to mix well :D, and the sentence you said : "louder is not better" saved in my brain forever. kindest regards
What about the zombie wars? I love the use of sound fx, it's so addicting LOL! I like the concept. Ever see the series 'Life after humans'? Nature retakes what was once hers erasing the damage we stupid self important humans have created. Well thought out music and deep concept, excellent job. That's the best stuff! :p Artificial Intelligence, no feelings, no cares. Will kill all humans and not be effected until they realize we were needed unless they learn to care for themselves.... possibility!
thanks for your great words you are right my friend all of us are living with a hope hope to be friends, hope to stop our fights maybe someday all of humans can understand that we are parts of each other and we can't live without each other thanks
