some high end boosting on the kick and snare wouldve gone well actually, stop it sounding a little bit muffled  |

| good composition but ****ing hell its distorted, just in time for eurovision mate - its good |

| Final Fantasy VI - Kefka's Theme by daddepants | 1 year ago |
| wow it has a real childish feel to it, but at the same time sinister - a bit like chuckie. real clean synth arpeggio, loving the sound. its really good i like it. | |
| Swing by ZipZipper | 1 year ago |
| would it be ok to sample a length of this for an intro into a hiphop track and then another 4 bars for the main riff? i think itd sound nice, cos this does man - maybe a little quieter is all i could say, not sure if its distorting (probably isnt anyway) | |

| A Funky Little Hard Core Dance Marching Tune! by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
 nice nice. good sounds those drums man, are thick as **** (good thing). very well produced must say though your songs have a tendency of building up, then becoming just drums again, then building up, etc. in my opinion would sound better if you start with drums or whatever, then build up but as you fade out or stop one bit, come in with another so the song is continuous otherwise it kind of kills the feel of the song your reverb is SO clean aswell :L |

| thanks alot detski | |
| OPEN YOUR MIND by blaisemagee | 2 years ago |
| blimey youve come a long way in a short time. nice punchy kick and great intro. do you listen to alot of conor's stuff? cos your very similar in style. i like this |
|
| #4 by Uplink | 2 years ago |
| maybe its just a crap sample? you could use a different sample or layer it with a real kick; thats what id probably do. or you could just compress it more for a better click then add a duplicate of the same drum without the extra compression onto it, and then eq up the bass on the uncompressed drum. or even change the decay on the sample to keep the bass going. |
|
| DEEPEST REALM by conorcorbett | 2 years ago |
| nice atmospheric rhythm, works well - id call it 'Plastic Tribal' just for the sake of it :L good one |
|
| Weightlifting Mix by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
| well it doesnt seem very loiud ALOTHOUGH i am a bit tipsy so maybe my ears are alco-clogged, the beat seems solid those stabs at the start are from a song i know it, i just dont know what ahaha, i like this one. ill probably make a second (s0ber) comment, and tell you what i think hha, but for now - im hearing LOTS of normal and sub basses, very atmospheric - glad to see your keeping the style of heavy reverb. well made |
|
| Canon in D by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |
| haha thanks alot markl | |
| Soaring of the Phoenix by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
| very thick sound, but your songs quite often seem very percussion reliant - have you thought of trying some flowing high violins? cos i think if you faded them in, they could work | |
| World Celebration of the Phoenix by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
haha this is good. good melodies, really work with the concept of the song this is very good, maybe some more abstract samples wouldnt have gone a miss - like some reverse strings, reverse hit with a normal hit at the end - some white noise or even vehicles going through. anything abstract adds variety nice mallet sounds and tony is right about the juxtaposition of the song, like a journey through cultures. i guess this would symbolize the phoenix's flight over different countries and discovering new cultures as he goes? very good. one of your strongest, like the heavy snare coming in half way through. |
|
| Soaring Phoenix (TRANCE Version) by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
| what a gangsta! hahaha. very nice, one thing i just noticed - have you tried using filters instead of volume automation, i think that would make a big difference - especially to trance. great heavy kick with thick dark reverb  if its any consolation, i think tiesto's **** hahaha |
|
| Flight of the Phoenix (Choral Trance version) by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
| good idea here, no sharp endings and good fading - well done. love the digi bass sound, thats a quality sample right there i like this one. however the second synth sample seems out of time, might wanna work on that overall good mix though, was a good idea |
|
| Mourning of the Phoenix by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
 see what you tried to here but, sometimes its out of time and context; for example the higher piano note doesnt match in time or feel with the chords (which i have to say are very nice). the strings are ok but couldve done with some fading in also the choir at the is very bitcrushed (crackly, low quality). the second choir is alright but sounds like low quality. quality matters when it comes to samples |
|
| Groove of (Darth Vader Version) by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
very nice touch to the song, same critique to the song as i left on the newer version. but the clips are a better song |
|
| Groove of the Phoenix by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
| not bad not bad, i myself naturally felt asthough the gated synth near the start shouldve been cut off after one bar, and not left to run for 4 bars - it just felt unnatural having it run that long some things i feel lack a kind of delay, although thats a completely optional thing to add, i felt it wouldve been good on some things one thing ive noticed is your drums seem to sound very samey - with a very quiet but heavily reverbed kick and filtered snares. its good but the novelty gets lost after a few songs. just my opinion.overall not a bad tune but leaves some to be desired. not gonna say its your weakest though |
|
| Quiet Night of the Phoenix by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
now this is by far the strongest ive listened to so far. very nice, and has that nice little 'abes oddysee' noise, dunno if youve played that haha great choir, and chords alltogether. everyone has a strong point, yours so far is this new age business; just as i cant write an ambient song for crap, i glide through orchestral and dance. veryvery nice, even the whole production is well made. also good use of pan on the atmospheric sounds. |
|
| Liberation Groove of the Phoenix by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
haha, you have a good knack for choosing the right rhythm for songs. the 2 octave synth at the start seems maybe 1 or 2 steps off beat, ALTHOUGH this could be im used to going from the bottom octave and the offbeat being the higher octave; that sample might have been upper going to lower, thus throwing me off balance. very ambient aura your songs have. maybe soom extra compression on those cymbals if its possible, by extra i mean lighter but louder. they just seem squashed down - if theyre part of a loop, are you over mastering the loop? as this moves on it gets very nice. its a good song. |
|
| A Poorly Made Ode to the Lords of Acid by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
| very nice, maybe some effects on the vocals wouldnt have gone a miss. something like a delayed moan moving on to the next bit of the song. however i loved the beat, the reverbed kick gives it a very heavy underground feel like a subway. love the filtered clap/snare, also good swing to the rhythm of it like how theres a melody in there, right in the back. i like this |
|
| Snow Day Symphony by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |
| thanks alot, yeh ur right infact your the first person to notice; i did infact use these chords and progression in the rendition of Canon. |
|
| Canon in D by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |
| its not the same patch but its a type of stereo production i use. i personally like it but some dont, just a matter of taste. i kind of blend both stereos into each other but keeping a base at both, so it sounds big and panned still; but maybe not panned enough ahha thanks for the input |
|
| Pachelbel's Canon (Canon in D Major) by soulima | 2 years ago |
| very very nice, sometimes i feel asthough strings end a little too sharp and feel overworked sometimes, maybe some extra dynamics? quite interesting to hear this speed, is it altogether a faster tempo or have u shortened the note lengths? feel sorry for the violinists wrist hahaha, great song |
|
| Canon in D by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |
| really? i dont even know what a real oboe sounds like :S, and the harp your right about |
|
| Trance Piano Dance (of the Phoenix) by KoacNation | 2 years ago |
mmm nice experimentation but maybe not for the better in my opinion. the drums bring a little too much chaos in my opinion. also your right about the piano, i think less of an arpeggio and more straight chords with improvisation but the concept of this piece is very good. |
|
| The World by ZipZipper | 2 years ago |
| liking this alot, good lyrics. wouldnt myself call this dance, maybe a few synths wouldve done it. i consider this more pop nice music accompiniment for this , have you considered a string or synth solo.... oh there it is, nevermind. hahahlovely speed change for the piano near the end, very good |
|
| Insanitease by ZipZipper | 2 years ago |
very very nice. though i dont feel it gives across the feel of insanity. i would recommend a key change to a lowe key half way through, that would bee nice. i like this. |

|
| DIRTY BEATS by blaisemagee | 2 years ago |
| yeah its good, made ur own synth then, from what preset? |
|
| DIRTY BEATS by blaisemagee | 2 years ago |
| oh right, didnt know it was a synth, thought it was a sample. if you had pitch bend what instrument did you use? | |
| DIRTY BEATS by blaisemagee | 2 years ago |

|
| Belief (Cover?) by ExplodingLove | 2 years ago |
| quite good, nice fast track i think the music though, not your vocals, loses harmony sometimes; could just be the guitaresque distortion. good song |
|
| Canon in D by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |

|

|
| TECHNO BONGO by blaisemagee | 2 years ago |
very interesting rhythm at the start, maybe a little too clicky - although i wouldnt count that as a negative good effort, some music is needed though, not just rhythm on its own - however funky it is XD - Blade |

| Canon in D by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |
| thanks alot conor, your new one seems popular | |
| ??? by conorcorbett | 2 years ago |
pretty smooth, i think after the first kind of 'growl' near the start is the perfect oppurtunity for a 2/4 snare, it just sounds like it should be there - and your gonna hate me for this buttt  maybe a different sounding kick? OOH i said it again, sorry but thats my preference, all the extra percussions make up for it in this one .wouldve also liked to have heard a distinct melody in this, although im not up to date on the minimalistic scene, so i dont know if thats in the genre or not? overall though, not gonna lie, nice work, good and mysterious with excellent production. nice one conor, and have you checked out my latest? http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=134302 - Blade |

| U See They by andyfox | 2 years ago |
very nice andy, great use of stereo - all i could say is that mid range saw seems to attack the vocals in a bad way, for me anyway . other than that its pro produced, and once again lovely stereo; love these paddish chords too.first actual 5 stars all round; love it |
|
| Resolutions by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |
| thanks alot, that to me does mean something . Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for the final fantasy games has been the biggest musical influence ive had for writing music. thankyou so much |
|
| Crash Landing by ZipZipper | 2 years ago |
| haha this is smooth, like the kick, seems very stable - i like what youve done with the percussions panning you have a nice voice, has you thought of using a vocoder, or have you already - hard to tell with the harmony you have added to the vocals |
|
| Block Out The Bad Times by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |

|
| Nuclear Squares by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |

|
| Blissopolis by ZipZipper | 2 years ago |
| ooh i like this, very triumphant in parts; love the choir samples, excellent melody for it too. very clever 'wrecked' percs, the distortion to me feels asthough even though your volume is low it gives you that power. very nice job here |
|

|
| Canon in D by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |
| thanks alot gwen, and nah, dance remix would just ruin it - i had it all set up at the start and it just drained the violins i hope ive showed that i am versatile... and not some talentless one trick pony as ive been called |
|
| Canon in D by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |
| your lucky, was gonna be a dance remix XD but im glad i didnt |
|
| Melting Pot (Original Mix) by Rome | 2 years ago |
| very nice, like the heavy hooverish synths. not a huge fan of the hi hats with empty second beats at the start, but who am i to judge what synth did you use for the stabs on the right pan? |
|
| The Undertaking by DX_OF_TX | 2 years ago |
good concept of what she asked you to do here; what scale was it again, the G Natural? when it started first thing that popped into my head was some kind of vibration on the drums, like a stutter - maybe from over mastering, im not sure what actually makes it sound like that but it didnt come across as deliberate. very industrial like sound to it, good for the animation you were asked to do although i have to say it does get repeptitive, but i did keep in mind thats its an anime theme and it doesnt exactly go on for 5 minutes in practicality also at the end you can hear some heavy clipping when the drums are pulled out, i myself wouldve turned down the volume the exact moment the drums pull out to keep the clipping off overall pretty snazzy tune |
|
| Pianos of the soul by DX_OF_TX | 2 years ago |
very nice, something quite dodgy about the first transition where it changes from the orchestration to some paddish sound; seemed very hollow at that part but mainly i love it, great theme changes. how long did it take u to come up with the main progression? cos i love it. also amazed at how u even know how to use reason; i get lost as hell when i use it. |
|
| Untitled5 by Drastic | 2 years ago |
mm its alright, doesnt seem to do much thougn i think you need to work ut where ur bassline is; where your melody is and where your harmonies are. then u can work of a linear playlist. from when i can tell from this u seem to be qorking your way round music, you should have to work your way around.dont let me put you off, cos im a fan, just friendly advice . good luck in the next song(rating sculd be wrong cos im pissed tbh) |
|
| Change (Club Dub Mix) by Everine | 2 years ago |
i like this, nice and ****y... no funky, yeah! have to the say, the start as the bass, drums, stereod percs and then the keys work their way into the mix seems for some reason amateur; although it honestly just sounds like a dodgy-cut loop looovely voice, you should make a sample CD - Blade |
|
| Untitled4 by Drastic | 2 years ago |
LOL ahahahaha god damn - that made me laugh. anyway - *slight* and i mean slight overuse of phasers and flanging, however it does seem to be becoming ur trademark. nice windy effect on some of those swirls, also good transformation but i think during the course of the some there needs to be some fills, rises, pumps, etc. to make the changes not so abrupt i hear so many different songs in this; Star Trek, Bittersweet Symphony, some fleetwood mac, some Final Fantasy stuff... and even reminiscent of my old stuff which u havnt even heard haha. i like it, its very nice. your compositions and production is and are getting alot better. good work mate. |
|
| Because your love is electro by Lapskin | 2 years ago |
ahaha the start is legend - how many times do i hear that everyday! ahah good production and hefty beat. at times does seem a little too packed but it never overflows overall cool and love the use of glitching, totally my style. have to say after a while it does get boring, and i was listening for ages until it changed into something more funky but i doubt youll edit it anymore now. so yeah its great i never heard a single clip during this, so great. - Blade |

| Flectro (Remix) by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |

|
| Meet Mr. Hyde (Original Mix) by Rome | 2 years ago |
nice! no skipping on my end - its a good file funky bells, was getting into that maybe eq out those sharp its like i was saying in chat - or perhaps narrow multiband compression if u hadnt already used that. i have to say it did get a bit repetitive after a while, a bit of variation on the bell keys wouldve been a nice touch nice. - Blade |
|

| thanks alot for that silky |
|
| Leventania (The Underground Scene Mega Mix) by Everine | 2 years ago |
mmm nice tune, good use of filters too - reminds me of some stuff ive done. one thing, de-esser on the master track? that noise is noisy also the kick, could do with maybe a little less compression if you used it, if not maybe some bass boost OR onbeat bass to accompany the kick. just a suggestion the full mix maybe couldve been maximized, its a tad quiet - though not really affecting the main mix good overall mix how long have you done electronica? - Blade x |

| Gimme Some Space! by Naaji | 2 years ago |
hmm cant make heads or tails of this ramona :S some of it reminds of some 90's underground pop thing, and other parts seem quite amateurish showcasing (not in a bad way) this tune doesnt seem to be a 'song' as such, more an acapella with a backing track  .in my tactless unrelentless opinion i think youve lost the feel from the music and pushed your voice maybe a little TOO far upfront; wouldve been nice to have kept the balance because the music is actually pretty good. |
|
| Time To Feel by brewchugger | 2 years ago |
good song, lyrics made sense after you explained in the chat what it was about. love the chorus, the way u take it down with the bass. one thing though, vocals seem a bit lost - very forgettable ( by the way theyre mixed, not lyrically or vocally) maybe try some EQ or even higher compression? i like this one |
|
| Exposure DJ Dance Remix! by Naaji | 2 years ago |
very enjoyable song. the effect on your voice, dont know if it was intentional but i loved it sometimes i feel the vocals are lost in the mix though , not too badly though so its good.love the snare im not a huge fan of the bitty percussions, mind you that is part of the style so its all good. im not being harsh with the ratings, seriously im not - Blade |

|
| For A Better Future by Bapta | 2 years ago |
mmm, honestly - seems a tad sloppy if you ask me, but yes you did sort your drums out bout time my advice would be, maybe a little compression or volume control on the sounds at the start, or perhaps a fade in. a little less pan on the drums, cos they get annoying (brilliant snareish sound, love it) good work on your stereo seperation too, when i heard it i was like "stereo shaper?... most likely... yeeeeee" not bad not bad. i wouldnt release this as a final copy as of yet though. good luck |
|
| core by Lapskin | 2 years ago |
| great kick, just feel that the bass is so low that the keys are inarticulate. great melody though | |
| MASHER by conorcorbett | 2 years ago |
| liking that creamy synth - but like i said in the last upload, that kick... still very samey; are you by any chance using a synthesizer to generate a kick? or is it samples? | |
| Untitled by Drastic | 2 years ago |
| oh right, in that case - know the melody when it kind of progressive upwards, i do dislike it when it reaches the top then goes down a key, i think it would sound better (and happier if thats the feeling you were going for) and more reasonable if you just kept it sustaining instead of dropping down. obviously a personal preferance but it did get me feeling "oooh... i like.. arrgh damn, was going perfect UNTIL", that kind of feeling however! since u havnt been midi writing for very long thats a bloody good melody for a beginner |
|
| Resolutions by BladeKemp | 2 years ago |
| wow conor thanks alot! | |
| Untitled by Drastic | 2 years ago |
haha strange sound. there was a couple of keys off that melody that didnt sound too good, but the majority was great! did you write it or was it loops? maybe you add could more instruments in the mid range? give it some thickness like to hear it finished |
|
| MINIMAL REACTION by conorcorbett | 2 years ago |
| interesting sound enjoyable for sure erm have you ever thought about maybe varying your kick - they all seem to sound the same in your songs - maybe layer it with some kind of other bassy percussion with low volume? in my opinion couldve been maybe it little more powerful... but if you listen to my newest song youll see what kind of power im into - and that power would ruin the song here i like it, cant wait to hear it finished |
|
| Live For Today by MC_Mesiah | 2 years ago |
| yeh, i meant lighten it up as is volume down lool, oh i dunno ive confused myself. | |
| Live For Today by MC_Mesiah | 2 years ago |
nice key, like that - just maybe to lighten up the volume with some light levelling compression, specially on that saw at the start compositions wise though, its really good - what plugins did you use? plus if your going to bang some lyrics in there, u defo need to lighten that saw, just a heads up like it alot |
|

|
| Ring of Fire by TheTiler | 2 years ago |
its great, loved it. i think at the start either you video was out of sync or you just dont move ur lips im not sure but were you purposely putting swing on your vocals or did you almost forget the words at some parts, because sometimes it worked and at parts didnt. soundwise though, it was great! |
|
| No mountain too high! by Bapta | 2 years ago |
wow this is great haha, love the progression - but as olympus said, the bass could be boosted; although the actually sound you used i quite like you do make some nice melodies and whats wrong with arranging with the mouse? |
