someone PLEASE listen to my music! :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i listened... sounds pretty good. but i agree w/ asche xl.. a bit too repetitive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you for listening! yeah repetition is a problem of mine i'm on the road to fixing, slowly but surely. |
||||||||

evil lies hidden in the forest Really nice and atmospheric. In my opinion the first thing anyone says about music that is posted on the board these days is that it is repetative. Ignore it. The introduction of the fast break I liked, then the move into the downtempo beats comes in about the right place. I am not sure whether I like the second fast break bit, it felt unnecessary to me, although I have to admit I am not really in the mood for fast music at the moment, so I may feel differently about it when I am. Obviously the bit rate makes it difficult to comment on the dynamics, but overall I like the track. Listening the the next one... |

just when you think its over Starts well, nice beat, I like the contrast as the track goes on, although the little intricate drum parts (a few seconds every so often) leaves me feeling as though you should have really developed a section based around them instead of falling back on the loops. It is good, just left me wanting more :P Listening to the next one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you! i wanted to make something that changed between two completely different sounds. that's sort of the sound i'm going for now. i like to blend genres. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i've been bigger on melody lately, so i've sort of had a habit for falling back on it a lot. i plan to do more with the intricate loops in the future. that used to be all i did. |
||||||||

justified electronic columns The strings sound a little processed, they could do with sounding more natural. Not a bad melody though, builds up some nice tension...but where are the drums. I was waiting and waiting...personally I would add some percussion (it is nice as it is but different versions wouldn't hurt), and the way you have structured it you could go and put in a really harsh drill track or a really subtle drum beat. Overall good work :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you very much sir! columns was actually an ambient track i twiddled around with, i plugged my keyboard into my Digitech RP7 and just let it come out. I've actually thought about a drum beat in there... i just have to get the timing down, and i don't know what sort of beat to put in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyways, thanks for the kind words! :-D |
||||||||
|
|

Just when you think - punchier snares needed, some pop to the beat. Catchy beat for the beginning, goes on just a bit too long, not enough after the first break, just one 16 bar with the heavy distortion? You flip between heavy beats and the ambient breaks really quickly, kills the energy fast Sounds very looped, like Asche said, the transitions are choppy, they don't flow into each other (although they still sound good in most places), but after you hear that 4 or five times since you transition so much, it gets repetitive. Would like to hear more progression, not just playing with loops and effects, some direction with the piece. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Evil forest - I like the start, simple, the melody sort of catching up the the drum beat as it goes along... right before the drill part comes in though, that transition needs some major cleaning up or total rethought, same when it comes in later. Does a much better job of keeping the energy up as the beat changes, and a good transition back into the lighter stuff. There isn't a whole lot of overall progression to the piece, you could cut the piece in half and it would still sound about the same. Still sounds very looped, ut you're making the best of it, maybe head like Orbital with the eccentric live loop performance. |

i listened to justified electronic columns, and it's really just the seed of a track. it certainly could grow into something complete, and suggests some interesting possibilities. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for the criticism! :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess no one here likes minimalistic ambient tracks.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
By the way, I do have some jazz-type stuff up now! (not really jazz, just electronic with jazz elements) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got alot to listen to i'll get to it and i'll tell you what i think in a bit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you sir. i must egress for a bit myself... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Ok, Evil forest i like the slow bits alot but the drill bits need alot of work. Just when you think it's over i really like the beats with the little complex bits but i didn't like the distorted bit much but i think out of the three you put up on that site i like this one the best. Justified electronic columns i liked but i think it could do with more ambience because it's one of those tracks that needs an atmosphere. Overall i think this is good work but there is one thing that bothered me a little throughout and thats the sound of the recordings they sound a bit overdriven, was that intentional? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you mean overdriven as in volume or distortion? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Volume, it sounds like it's clipping alot and i think detracts from the overall quality a bit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oic. the freeware i use is actually based off old analog drum machines, so it adds pops sometimes at the beginning of loops. i've been working on ways of fixing this.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, i keep all of my songs in high-quality mono wav file form. i noticed a slight decrease in sound quality with the switch. the mp3's are a meg or so a piece, but the original wav recordings are 20 or more each, at least. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could you give my a listen? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did earlier, thanks for reminding me of that. Hmm, i'm going to have to be honest, i didn't like them very much they didn't seem to gel for me, I can't really be anymore objective on those it's not something i go for i'm afraid. Just out of interest, have you heard anything i've done? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually heard that one unfinished track of yours you posted a while back... been meaning to hear more because i enjoyed the untitled track for what it was. *goes to hear s'mo skink* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The one's at my site are pretty old now, they don't sound as good to me as they did before. I hope you like them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn it! my realplayer's being a fucking bastard. piece of shit. anyways, i'll try to get a listen to it, if i can get my real to start working proper again... i might have to do some shutdown action. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah realplayer is a bitch, i only use it for streams from the warp site. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it's just that i have a shitty phone connection, and if i'm going to be downloading something, especially a high-quality sound file, it'll take forever. One good mp3 is about anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes for me. :-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oohh that's never good. I've good an adsl connection here so it dosen't take alot of time for me to do anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know what i did now - i tried to adjust the performance so the tracks would rebuffer less... i hate it when i'm getting into a song and it fucks up! well i'll try it ASAP tomorrow. i'm going to sleep now - been doing yard work out in the hot fucking texas sun all day so the weariness is setting in. good night and sweet dreams, my fellow musician. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sleep well dude. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i slept very well last night. like a rock. i can't remember the last time i had such good sleep. there are also four downloads on my site for those of you who don't know: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i listened to the new ones... they sound pretty good. i w as just wondering what u r using to make 'em. i have a cable connection and im just about finished downloading disc 3 of reason 2.5. so if ne knows how to use it plz msg me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
E-mail me, i can help you out a bit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you sir! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yes... what i use. hammerhead - sequencing and loop arrangement/timing microsoft sound recorder - mixing, recording wave enhancer - stereo effects (ambient tracks) oblivion - occasional use for fractal melodies |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Have you had a chance to hear my stuff yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*is in the process of downloading some of Skink's music* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay! i listened to that lucid skies remix. i dig it! very atmospheric, lots of subtle ambient undertones, and plenty of variety. the song shifts to a lot of different moods, but the shifts really give this song a personality. i could chill to this. nicely done. :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone else? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
