| interesting combination of two styles of music! | |
| Is it by southside | 1 year ago |
| lol, like Steve_Scott said, that's a lamb-full of chops. it says that "constructive comments would be appreciated" so here goes: I would bring out that "1" a bit more every now and then for effect and otherwise keep the drums bass moving. I think the intro could be a bit more dramatic, I might try a 2 beat roll on an open high-hat and then a big down beat on the bass-drum followed by a snare hit on the one just like it is. bring the tambourine in at the second measure, basically taking the downbeat and extending it for the whole first measure (I think, depending on how you're counting). all around very though good  |

 here's someone who knows his way around a guitar  it sounds just a tad muddy and the drums could use some humanizing, but otherwise an excellent performance. |

very smooth, I really like melody and little "glissandi" you put in there. You've got to keep the guitar as an intro if you add parts As far as drums go, I'd go with something light. If you've heard Nirvana's "Lake of Fire" (unplugged), and I'm sure you have, that's the style I'd use. a pair of hot rods and a tight, minimalist beat. I can't really hear it in my head, but I don't think two vocal tracks would do this justice, because it would take over the song. I'm guessing your idea was to let the two tracks "play into each other", meaning melody/counter-melody. If that's the case, I'd instead just make a really nice moving bass part and let it work together with the guitar for the same effect. I was trying to hum a part while the song was playing and caught some nice lines, so I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem finding any. Just an idea. I'm sure once you add more parts it'll get more interesting, but just a heads up it felt a little long. That and I don't think the fade at the end doesn't work for the song. If you just keep the chord ending I think it'll add closure, instead of giving a feeling of ... endlessness that fade outs tend to do. Other than that, great song! I'm sure it'll turn out great. cheers, -Lpod |

Wow, I like the glisses, the beat moved the song along nicely. I don't really mind the quality, and you can make it sound a lot better just by mixing it down with some equalizer settings (the fuzz is only on a very narrow frequency, so if you lower that, then you can create a contour with the other settings, making it sound loads better). great job! -lpod |

My notes: the first transition was a little sketchy, but acceptable. VERY nice second transition into the drums. Try doing something with pan or volume during that little break with the drum solo though, its a little bland. good melody. the transition into the second part of the song is too fast. the transition into the break with only the "hi hat" is too fast as well. the transition into the next part is also sketchy, everything just cuts off. If you were going for that, find a different place and make the break a little longer. the transition that adds the "shaker" is also too fast. fade in. the transition into the third part of the song is also sketchy. still ok though. WOW. last transition scared the hell out of me! transitions, transitions, transitions. You did a good job using different styles, but many of them where just too short and forced. And what about that last one!?! Not to be mean or anything, it was just sooo unexpected... maybe you should just skip that and fade out or take out one track at a time from the last part. I loved your melodies. extremely captivating. basically everything else was good. keep working on this, I like the direction, -lpod |

wow I like it! Only very minor things I would change. try adding some round pan to the scratching texture you have on the far right during the main part of the song. make the ending shorter and the fade out longer. I didn't really like that "aaeuuaehauueea..." during the transition to the end. However, these are just a matter of taste. good job, -lpod |

 nice. You might want to add some syncopation to that beat to make it a little more interesting, and add another track really accenting that three-chord melody you've got going on. In the last break, add some textures to make it sound more full, and maybe add some echoes to the beat right there to make it "fade out into the distance", rather than just cease to exist. -lpod |

well I've never heard any of those loops before (though I hardly spend any time in the loop library) so I'm giving you a 5 on Creativity. Every thing else was definitely deserved. Good job! I especially liked how the beat stayed interesting throughout the song (I always have trouble pulling that off without totally switching it up every now and then). The title was also well conceived, I like the "ring" to it and it fits the song perfectly. cheers, -lpod |

very original! I have never seen this done before, really cool. you might want to adjust the levels though, there were some parts to the song that were maxing out, it sounded fuzzy. I liked the melody in the last part. are you going to try doing a remix with different instruments? -lpod |

| The End by jasper | 5 years ago |
very cool. I'm not normally a fan of ambient music as a foreground element(though it helps a lot when I'm working), but this was a great piece! the booming bass and the swaying motion was captivating. One very strange part about this song was that I wasn't really thinking of an end of something while listening, but somewhere in the middle of it, I read the title again and it made me feel really sad... this piece has an underlying feeling of purpose, but at the same time it is so easy to imagine "the end"... I couldn't rate creativity because ambient music is in essence repetitive, though with a motion, which is really the beauty of it. again, great work, -lpod |

pretty good quality from something that old. on one side, this was a great concept. very 90s style. on the other side, there was just this constant droning from the guitars which made the song that much more unpleasant. also, not all of the parts were matching up. i realize how hard it is to match up real instruments in a recording, and there wasn't much you could do 9 years after recording anyways, but that also made the song less enjoyable. i hope that wasn't too harsh... other than that, it was a decent song. just one question, what language was the singer singing in? -lpod |

| Cool Always by Skean | 5 years ago |
pretty cool man. i like the little "voice" thing in the background. sometimes the main guitar part was a little harsh, but otherwise it was great. have you tried ending it on a note? the fade out doesn't seem to do the song justice... -lpod |

| Fantasy For French Horn by marcchester | 5 years ago |
Very nice solo! In the second part it sounded like there was another instrument, because it wasn't echoing and it sounded higher, but its probably just my ear. Again, good job! -lpod |

I really liked the almost freeform feel to the song in the beginning, the piano solo and the ending, but the solos before and after the piano part were too overpowering, maybe you should consider changing to a different instrument. |

this is probably a little late, but i really liked this song. The synths and beat were great. one thing i didn't like so much was the bass. it sounded a little too granular, so maby ease up on that a little. have fun with Logic. |

| Cry On My Pillow by fossile | 6 years ago |
 this... really sobered me up. the voice sounds demented. but apperently it works with your kids, so I guess thats ok. I really liked the guitar solo though, very nice. did you play that? |

its relaxed. it reminds me of this german cartoon movie that i saw when i was a kid. this anthropomorphic lady bug came into the bedroom of these two kids, they flew away with him, and ate the milky-way while riding on a 2 story polar bear. it sounds disturbing, but i liked it back when i didn't know what it was about.......anyway, great song! i like the reverb. it gives the song a nice atmosphere. there is a part in the song though when the synth doesn't match up with the melody. it really stuck out to me. obviously i can't point to it, but if you listen to it closely, you might hear it. as far as whats missing, i think you could use some deep undertones to even it out. it sounds a bit off center. |

NOICE! loved the intro. however, it starts to get a little repedative in the middle. try throwing in some variations to the beat, and maby bring the base out a little more. that duet with the base and synth you had going was the coolest part of the song to me. very funky! |
