Lush electronic sounds.  |

| I Belong Here by Joshua_Irwin | 6 months ago |
| You always do a great job with these types of builds in your music, Josh. Good one. |

| rise and shine dutch mix by jankorteweg | 9 months ago |
| @jankorteweg they sounded different though for some reason, like maybe they were chopped up, but maybe its just the rearrangement of them. You did a good job of changing it up. | |
| rise and shine dutch mix by jankorteweg | 9 months ago |
| Nice interesting changes with this and some new guitar riffs you added in as well as electronic elements and new drums it sounds like. Thanks for sharing your version of it. | |
| Rise and Shine (Remix) by olympus | 9 months ago |
| I like the electronic elements and the electronic flutish sound you have in there, nice take and I like how you took the ending guitar riff and made it more prominent throughout and generally made the tune more uptempo. |
|
| The Club Life: Techno by DJ_Siatt | 10 months ago |
 I like the melody of the riffs and stuff, very cool! |
|
| Time After Time Cover (The Great Tequila Experiment) by theironsaul | 10 months ago |
| Very good acoustic rendition, it sounds epic. Great vocals and guitar playing. | |
| Burn by obbster | 10 months ago |
It's really beautiful! Everything is super clear in the mix. At a couple points the piano kind of competes with the vocals a touch though (In particular when the notes are higher in it), but not really sure how you would fix that, because you definitely want the piano to be heard in there too. I really like it though! |
|
| Like WIshes i Left on the Moon by mfwmiles | 10 months ago |
| Oh, great idea miles! Love the vocals in the background and stuff. And your voice really fits this piece you've done here.The deep sort of back and forth vocals are great. Its a great job using so many vocal sounds to fill out the instrumentation. | |
| Can a Duvet Stop the Living Dead? by thenownows | 10 months ago |
| The mix is good, like the vocal harmonies, good playing on the guitar. Your music has this fun vibe to it usually or super laid back feeling. | |
| Those Dirt Walls by thenownows | 10 months ago |
| It's dark and gloomy, like you wanted, lol. It has great emotion. | |
| The Uneasy Ballad by JackFancy | 10 months ago |
| That bass groove creates the uneasy feeling. Vocals sound good, mix is pretty good. The pause from the uneasy bass is necessary to break up the monotony. You have these sounds that come in and I like them also to create variation around the bass. This is one of those tunes you either are going to love it or hate it probably though because of the bass notes. | |
| Pianissimomo by thenownows | 10 months ago |
| It has this ongoing vibe to it. The little breaks from that main sound stop it become becoming monotonous. It would be good for some type of short skit or something. | |
| Calling You by Vixen | 10 months ago |
Your voice is beautiful, and probably even more importantly, it seems like the lyrics and vocals fit the guitar beneath them nicely. It has that old sound to it with the reverb on your vocals and the way the guitar track was recorded. |
|
| Acoustic Green Jam by UvsU | 10 months ago |
| I like it, I too love the pauses and reflections it creates. I like how right when I was going to say I think the tune might be starting to drag you TOTALLY picked it up to a new tempo, which is just what it needed at that point. | |
| Lament Atlantis by URANIUM | 10 months ago |
| I like how it takes you on a journey. This middle part especially is cool. The beat at the start is kind of delayed, I'm assuming that effect is on purpose, sort of adds to the ambience. It's either that or it's just off in parts. I really like how these synth sequencer patterns are melding and interacting. It's like their getting their freak on or something. The arrangement sequence of the tune is superb, I love the ebbs and flows and different directions you take it, and it feels underwater too with the instruments you chose. It's more interesting than the average tune on the site. | |
| My El Dorado by jamesjrn | 10 months ago |
| @thenownows Oh damn. Did I do that bad with it? To where it sounds like drowned cats... lol. | |
| Raindrops by jamesjrn | 10 months ago |
| @Vixen I think you are referring to the sort of distorted organ-like sound I created. That's intentional with that synthesizer instrument. | |
| Drip Drop *Epic* by jasonhunwick | 10 months ago |
I like it, it reminds me of a cave for some reason as well as water dropping. I like the crazy synth used as well. The orchestral hits go well as well. It has sort of a mysterious sound to it also. |
|
| The Last Newscast by ZipZipper | 10 months ago |
Great intricate sort of digital beat underneath, with classical overtones on top. Great concept man. |
|
| Love to Hate III v2 by DB3Beats | 10 months ago |
| I like the atmosphere of it. I think its a good atmosphere. | |
| Lady Gaga Fugue Revised _ 2 by MelodySheppard | 10 months ago |
| It's interesting, lots of variation going on I think with the notes. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Stoned by ashtonzanecki | 10 months ago |
| I like dubstep. Good luck with this one, nice start. | |
| there for you by ashtonzanecki | 10 months ago |
| Nice sample of what is to come. I think your voice is good, just didn't come out right in this recording. | |
| Happiness by ashtonzanecki | 10 months ago |
I like the sounds, this is actually like some of the music I create. Nice job, its a fun tune. |
|
| This Will Disintegrate by TeuthisGalore | 10 months ago |
| Well, there is some artistry to coordinating it, because it didn't sound random, even though noise sounds were used. Nice job.. | |
| Obsesion by chuk | 10 months ago |
I think this is awesome. I love the vibe of it, with the playing, and then the vocals come in and they are just awesome in this. It just all goes together so well, I think. Really good job. |
|
| Panic Button Reset (yellow sunshine prequel) by slimesago | 10 months ago |
| Nice stuff. Catchy and fun sounds. The guitar at the end at first kind of caught me off guard, but I like the way the riff ends there. Good job. | |
| Immigration by ShaneBelmont | 10 months ago |
| This is cool, especially initially. I think I would consider maybe going a different direction slightly with it; mostly getting rid of the sort of scratching sound and maybe adding some type of middle eastern sound or something over the top. I dunno, I just don't really dig the scratch sound that comes in after it gets going. But there are some things I think are cool; in particular the initial sound of it. I | |
| Sometimes guitar ...... by telo12 | 10 months ago |
| Pretty notes, nice variation as well. Good to listen to as I hear the echoes of fireworks going off in the distance while the sunsets... | |
| Betta Than by Digital | 10 months ago |
| I think the rapping is very good. Bigger piano chords or something else coming in over the top would make the beat more special. It just depends on what the intention is. | |
| Up and Gone by jonparks | 10 months ago |
A good folksy vibe. Your voice goes well with the guitar here too. haha, I'm singing along a bit. |
|
| The Details Of Our Ending by Joshua_Irwin | 10 months ago |
| At first it had kind of an Enya-esque start to it. I think it has a very nice soundtrackish building sound to it. Sort of a sad feel as well to me. Very reflective tune. I like how the guitars come in and add a little something to it, along with the drums. Nice job. | |
| Tenuis Effcio (subtle changes) by A1K3M1 | 10 months ago |
| I like the flange on the drum sound, it complements the reverbie, digital sounding computer sounds that pan around (sort of creating a spacey sound). Kind of a dubstep atmosphere with the drums, I think. The guitar sound that comes in very concentrated sounding, but has a subtle panning around, like its in the center of a void surrounded by the digitized sounds. Overall, its a very ambient track, but an interesting spacey, kind of glitchy vibe. The pauses of silence do a good job of breaking up the sounds and adding some dynamics to the track as well. |
|
| Tuck Me In by Naaji | 10 months ago |
| It has this deep ambience to it. I think the vocals complement each other well. It has that relaxed jazzy vibe beat sound also. Nice job. |
|
| To Be That Way by sammydix | 10 months ago |
I like the mix. Everything is crisp and super clear. Imagine if it weren't? It would be muddy and we wouldn't be able to appreciate the sounds. I think the space of mostly just the guitar and vocals works good because it puts a great deal of emphasis on the vocals. It sounds great all-around. Interesting and provocative sounds. Yeah, I think there is plenty going on, no need to collaborate here. |
|
| Jordan instrumental by randolf | 10 months ago |
I like the chords I think that is what makes it work here for so many people. The pauses after the keys add that emotional emphasis. Then to end with the harmonics adding to it adds even more depth. I think that is why it works. Great job, man. |
|
| Another Turn by MojoHandle | 10 months ago |
Its cool, it has a great change of pace. The intro guitar riff is what I love the most, I think. But it has just in general a great sound. You could even get away with repeating that first riff even more, it has such a desperate sound I think (which I like). I need to add that I love the ending, tremendous finish. Great job all-around! |
|
| Love Chant No5 by Henno | 10 months ago |
| It has a simplicity to it, but it works because of the addictive synth and bass sounds. Nice change-up towards the end. Got a cool electro-funk vibe to it. | |
| My Father's Son by RevJoE | 10 months ago |
| I like the loop in particular that kind of has the higher pitch and moves in and out. Nice change-up after the one-third mark. It has a good dark vibe to it. Nice pad sounds and good variation. | |
| Freedom Song by TomDevine | 10 months ago |
| Yeah, I think it has a fun, yet relaxed chill vibe. Its good; nice change-up at the end. The repetition used in this tune works nicely also. | |
| SWEET MOMENTS by KCsGROOVE | 10 months ago |
| I think your voice issues kind of give the vocals a ghostly sound, maybe a bit of a raspy tone as well, which fit nicely here actually. Has a good jamming vibe to it. | |
| Dysnomia by A1K3M1 | 10 months ago |
I like the color of those sort of electro-jazz keys featured in the piece. But then the pads help create the jazzy deep atmosphere. The electro style drums are a nice touch as well. Very creative, kind of out of the box stuff I think. I like that... too many people trying to do the same things over and over, unhappy to hear something different too often. |
|
| Valhalla by Bowman | 10 months ago |
It has a very big sound thanks to the reverb on the horns in particular I think. I like how you go down to the low notes to add emotion to it. The repetitious string riff in the background helps keep a constant to it as it evolves over the top. |
|
| Horizontal Hair (AKA white knuckle merry-go-round) by JimmyDee | 10 months ago |
I like the vibe of this; the guitar, sort of revolving feel it possesses. But it has a subtleness about it that I think is very cool and helps with the emotional feel of it. |
|
| Smooth by Harry1964 | 10 months ago |
| I like the guitar in this one, and the drum rolls add a nice variation to it. Even though it uses loops, it fails to sound loopy, which is a good thing. | |
| Somethings wrong with you by apb | 10 months ago |
| It sounds very clear, nice volumes to it, great length, intersting throughout. And, most importantly, because your vocals sort of take center stage, I think your voice sound pretty good here. Good job! | |
| Electric Weasel Dance Dome by pharmakeus | 10 months ago |
| Yeah, I think this is the best tune I've actually heard on the site in awhile! I really love all the elements, they go so well together. That hard synth is fantastic, and then you go more brassy in parts, and the voice again is very cool. Kind of an 80s feel in parts, but its sooooo original sounding. I love it. |
|
| I'll keep fighting by telo12 | 10 months ago |
Thanks, I was in a lonely mood, but this music kind of distracted me from it. Good work! |
|
| Bebop in D Major by StefanS89 | 10 months ago |
| It sounds pretty good to me, though I admit to not being a jazz player. Nice job, guys. |
|
| Last Train by Hourglass | 10 months ago |
For me the kind of British sounding vocals are cool, but they give it a more Alternative feel. The lyrics and vocals are solid and fit the music nicely. |
|
| Apologize - Cover Live by raajk | 10 months ago |
| The Piano is beautiful, vocally you have a more tender approach. The piano does kind of overpower the vocals in the mix, and the vocals are not as strong and sharp as the original, but you did a decent job. | |
| Run by DiamondGrif | 10 months ago |
| It revolves around the fast moving electronic riff you've made, which has an interesting sound to it. It's a solid one, good job. | |
| Breach by olympus | 10 months ago |
| I like the middle part with the little drum roll especially before it kicks up a notch. Nice concept and stuff here man. | |
| What Is Love? by Axelbreeze | 11 months ago |
| Cool sounds, nice variation, Axel. Good use of space and dimension with the pads as well. | |
| One Day by PeriKardium | 11 months ago |
| The lead electronic synth that bounces around is not synchronized in a few parts. If you zoom in you'll see that in your program its not quite where you want it to be; probably 1/16th or so off in the pattern. The drums sounds are kind of buried in the mix. When you manage the EQ of them you can give them a harder hitting, louder sound. As far as the theme and idea, I think that the musical sound is solid (I like the concept and the melody and rhythm to it). It's an electro-pop sound which I like. You do a good job of keeping it interesting, but in the middle section I would add another layer on top of it, perhaps some kind of pad to add another layer of emotion because it starts to get repetitious in that segment. The piano/synth keys that come in at 2/3rds are pretty cool sounding. I have a feeling that you are going to get a lot better since this is just one of your first tunes. |

| Excess Baggage (Staind cover) by JohnWerkema | 11 months ago |
I think I all ready heard this on your youtube channel, but stumbled on it here also. Its a great sound, wonderful job, John. |
|
| Into the Darkness by Enertron | 11 months ago |
| A good bridging piece of music before a change of scenes. |
|
| Grand Finale by Enertron | 11 months ago |
| I agree, very uplifting and well-done. I like the piano chords and the horns. Good job. | |
| Clash of the Titans by Enertron | 11 months ago |
This is great, though to me its more of a lead up right before a battle. I could see it being used for both scenarios though. |
|
| Mbwakachoka by Enertron | 11 months ago |
This is awesome, I love it, very beautiful music bro. Great soundtrack stuff. I like the choir part a lot, and then the new part that comes in toward the end is awesome as well. |
|
| Between Here And Forever by jamesjrn | 11 months ago |
| Yeah I will fix that. I actually think I have a few notes that are off in time (1/16th or so), which is unusual for me. I think that is what is creating that, plus I could add more dynamics by adding more of presence with volumes. | |
| Shiver by jrahn | 11 months ago |
| I like the drum breakdown in the middle part of it. It has lots of variation and that's good. Sounds fairly Indian as it gets moving along. | |
| Jam by Stebbo | 11 months ago |
| Your piano backing components are always good, and your lyrics are always very well done. Good job man. | |
| JERUSALEM by moffFROMyork | 11 months ago |
So intense, I love it. Great hard-hitting sounds and middle eastern sounds, which I love. I think its actually one of the best electronic tunes I've heard on this site. Very very well-done. Incredibly interesting. |
|
| MOZARTvsSUPERMARIO by moffFROMyork | 11 months ago |
Very intense! It sounds like it could be used in a mario game, but of course it is also the classical sound of Mozart also. I like those bell synths, very beautiful sounding. |
|
| Get Free by MurphyMusic | 11 months ago |
| I think vocally you sound a lot like the guy who sings for the American Rejects in this song. I think it sounds good. | |
| Perpetuum Mobile VIII by soulima | 11 months ago |
| It reminds me of a bustling farm for some reason. Or maybe people are about to enter a carnival. | |
| FLY by DB3Beats | 11 months ago |
| I like what is going on here. I think you could have some string/pads chords come in towards the middle and that would take it up another level as well. | |
| Mnemophobia (fear of memories) part 2 by A1K3M1 | 11 months ago |
| Great balance to it, the length is just ride, the variation keeps it interesting throughout. I like how the drums go as it ends as well. Good job. | |
| Greed & Gold 2011 by voXager | 11 months ago |
Great style, I love the production and sounds. If I ever get around to making my music CD I would be up for a collab or something. I would love to try and sing over a track like this (though my style would be more of a alternative/pop rock singer style than metal vocals, but still would be cool). |
|
| Conference of Disbelievers 2011 by voXager | 11 months ago |
I absolutely love this. It's epic! I rarely go that far as to say that, but I love all the changes and intricacy to it. Great build-up right at the end also, amazingly intense. |
|
| Coko Villiage by Enertron | 11 months ago |
This is cool bud. I have a few tracks sort of made with a similar concept, a couple of them I need to mix, but one or two would be ideal battle themes for an RPG (if I get to mixing one I made last year I'll put it up and I can send it to you if you want it). |
|
| SEXY MOTHER FUNK by moffFROMyork | 11 months ago |
| You do a nice job of blending electronic elements with sort of a soundtrack ambience in a way. Its a very solid uptempo track. | |
| Let Me Know: The Middle by chrispatt17 | 11 months ago |
| I like your vocals, and I hear talent in them. You should do some collaborations with some people on this site if you haven't all ready and just sing over some tracks and let them mix it all together. | |
| Macaroni and Paste #16 by Nuuute | 11 months ago |
| I like the piano line "you've been playing for years". Its cool. | |
| Dangerous Rumors by ZipZipper | 11 months ago |
| Yeah, it is a bit distorted. EQing is probably what would solve that. The concept is very classic 80s, and I like it. The vocals are good. Instrumentation is neat too. Good job guys. | |
| Crushed by Stebbo | 11 months ago |
| Stebbo, I think your songwriting skills are very good. The original concept here is good and I like the melodies and sound ideas. I agree with pharmaekus on the EQing of the drums. | |
| Crushed (Cover) by ZipZipper | 11 months ago |
It sounds terrific... the instrumental, the singing. I'll have to check out the original and hear that one also. Great job guys. |
|
| DRUMMER IN THE SKY by moffFROMyork | 11 months ago |
It has a soundtrack feel. Sort of an "Enigma" sound also as well. I like the changes and variation, great job. |
|
| Circus Island by ZipZipper | 11 months ago |
At the start, it reminded me a touch of an Enya song, though the name of it escapes me. But it has that circus feel to it. Nice job. |
|
| Human, (cover of the "Killers" song) by goochywahwah | 11 months ago |
Great creativity with this one! I like this cover. It's very well done. It has an early sound from way back, like you were saying. Maybe if Bob Dylan covered it it would sound kind of like this, hehe. |
|
| The Days of Pearly Spencer, (David McWilliams,) cover by goochywahwah | 11 months ago |
| Your voice sounds good, especially when it is in the verse parts with the reverb. I like the instrumentation as well. I think I can hear the guitar in there. | |
| One More Thing by JoeGooch | 11 months ago |
The sounds blend nicely together in the mix. Has that deep feel I think you were after. Great job. |
|
| Evening Star by pharmakeus | 11 months ago |
| Cool spacey sound.. the female computer vocals sort of sound a bit like Bjork when combined with the electronic beat. | |
| Delivering Dahmer by Curran_P | 11 months ago |
| well-executed, great creative concept as well, Curran. |
|
| Boy In The Blue Sky (Studio Mix) by SteveScott | 11 months ago |
| I haven't heard the original, but you sound great here. Great work man. Keep it up. |
|
| Fade to Grey by SteveScott | 11 months ago |
This is the most professional sounding tune I think I've heard from @Axelbreeze. The vocals fit nicely as well, great job @SteveScott. I like the 80s vibe of it all. |
|
| In Spite of This by MikeHuntingford | 11 months ago |
It sounds awesome, I like how you put it together. It has that early 80s or late 70s sound I think, (which I like). Good job all-around. |
|
| Gens Una Sumus (we are all one family) by A1K3M1 | 1 year ago |
| I like the sort of swirling synth sounds and ambience of it. Its very ambient, yet interesting. | |
| Nutritional Atmosphere by jrahn | 1 year ago |
| I like how it changes, that definitely keeps it interesting, which is good, and mostly it all went nicely together. There was some small parts that maybe I thought weren't completely complementary, but pretty minor really. Good job! | |
| More Than One Man Can Bear by jamesjrn | 1 year ago |
| I think its one of my best tunes ever, I love it. | |
| Beautiful Skies (Acoustic & Brass) by jasonhunwick | 1 year ago |
It sounds good Jason. I like the mix on it too. |
|
| Driven by jamesjrn | 1 year ago |
| Well I did EQ everything as well, perhaps you're right though maybe I could have made kick and snare a bit punchier, though I did somewhat compared to how they would have been. There's lots of synths here that have kind of a distorted style sound to them. Maybe I have too many frequencies crossing and could do better though. I did cut out lots of frequencies and what not actually though, so if its distorted as is, it would have been a lot worse than it is. | |
| Ambition II Preview by Jerion | 1 year ago |
| It sound solid for what it is; which is a short sample of something larger you've made. Good work, sounds like its building up to something bigger. | |
| Hidden Memory by Jerion | 1 year ago |
I like the vibe and intense mix to the track. Great work, Jerion. Sounds like it could work as a soundtrack tune of some sort for someone. |
|
| Make Believe by jamesjrn | 1 year ago |
| I think that is a lot of what I am feeling on this one, Becwil. It need more of an introduction. I put this up knowing it needed work but wanted some feedback... thanks for your insight as always. I think I'll try and go back and add more of a beginning to it. |
|
| Amor Ęternus by JohnWerkema | 1 year ago |
Great work, John. Your music is always at the highest level of excellence. You can tell you give it 110%, I appreciate that. |
|
| Rise And Shine by jamesjrn | 1 year ago |
| Its 4 and a half minutes or so, and I really like it, but I feel like maybe I should make a longer version. It has a short feel to it for some reason. If I do make it longer, maybe another minute at most or something, depending on what direction it goes. I dunno... | |
| Watchout, The Ocean Will Eat You. Like It Ate That Boat. by Uplink | 1 year ago |
| Way, way different than anything I ever heard before from you. Did you mess with eq-ing the different sounds and stuff? Doesn't seem like a tune like this would have to peak. It could even be louder as well even and not peak. I like it, its a different sound from you. | |
