Mmm...breaks

Dude, what do you need my help for? This is filthy! You've got an excellent breaks loop here. Just a note, it sounds wicked, but for the entire song, the flanging could get a little tiresome. For the majority of the song, I could see a simplified version of the middle/last part working very well as your basic groove.

Anyway, I'll pm you a couple of sites where you can get some loops and stuff for breaks/drum and bass.

You're doing great mate.

cornandbeans responds:

Hmm... Well, If you saw the song in its bare form, it had a basic 16th hi-hat overlay to it and the kick-kick snare kick-kick snare-snare-snare... Not to original, and you wouldn't believe how many effects I dropped on it. I think I have a chorus, squeeze, multiband compresser, distortion, and some reverb. XD I kinda want to move into some more varied rhythms, maybe have a more technic feel to it rather than just flow all the way through. I can't really get the weird sounds that I want, too. :S Oh well. I'm glad you liked it, though. I'm happier with it than I sound. :P Thanks for the feedback!

Sweet

This is good, you bring things in and take them away at all the right times. The only problem I can see is that the bass isn't really low, its kind of more a lead sound. I think a deeper base would really help the track sound more full.
But the synths here as they are sound great, its a very good progression.
Good percussion, I really like the kick but I would have liked a brighter hat.
Keep it up dude!

P.S I realise I forgot to vote for Fleep but thats fixed now ;)

Syntrus responds:

right on man

Very good

Those are some seriously lush strings, and this is a seriously good little piece of music.
I wouldn't mind a bit of development though, for example bringing in some beats or having some other instrument for example a piano playing a part in combination with the strings.

Stop by my page and leave a few reviews if you're in the mood :)

BTW. Looks like the zero voters are around because I voted 5 and it only went to 2.5.

Good one

Nice one. The beat is catchy and well mixed. There's a nice shaker type of sound I here from time to time, I'm not sure why it continues on at the end though.
The bass is simple, but it does the job.
Nice piano riff and some interesting fx in the mix.
I'll be interested to see how you develop at hiphop.

nickolas-lumpkin responds:

Think man..But im new at this beat making thing and im working hard on it..but i still dont know every thing i need to know about but im getting there...but thanks for tha good feed back..p.s check out my first one if you liked this one..it call tha new south

Nice one

Nice ambience here. I like the atmosphere a lot, but it seems a bit thick at times, the parts kind of stepping on eachothers toes. When the melody oozes out of it, it sounds really great and the glittery pad at that time goes together with it nicely.
Did you do this with garageband? I didn't know it could do electronic stuff as well.

Sun-and-Moon responds:

Yes, I do everything in Garage Band, and it has a lot of different sounds that you can come up with!

The parts "stepping on each others toes" you described are due to me not knowing how to time things properly xD

Thanks for the review! It means a lot to me :P

different

My first impression of this track is that Bjork would like to meet you.

The static creates a pretty ominous atmosphere and the piano is nicely lo-fi.

The vocals remind me of Franz Ferdinand. I'm thinking that a drumloop would be nice to give the track a bit more juice, but I suppose it works without it.

I'm wondering if the recording noise in the background is intentional or just recorded a little bit hastily!

Nice work here

Man, this is seriously cool. It sounds a bit like Diddy Kong Racing. Really upbeat and energetic. Excellent strings and the flute solo really breaks up the track nicely.
I like the snare fills at the end of every 4 bars and the handclap keeps a good rhythm with the kick drum.
Nice percussion in the breakdown.
I'm guessing you come from Scotland?

P.S If you're in the neighbourhood, I wouldnt mind getting your opinion of my latest techno track "We Love Candy" :)

Nirodha responds:

Yes, i was going toto do scotland brave, but it will sound VERY corny

Wonderful

Watercolour, you never fail to impress.
Excellent chilled atmosphere, I really enjoy the subdued melody that you introduce after the cymbal in the introduction. The water drop fx you use is a very nice touch. Nice sine beats drifting in and out throughout.
There's a huge amount of variety here, and its flows along very pleasantly. Sounds like almost a jazzy acoustic drumloop you introduce in the second half.
Very pleasing fx throughout, it shows when a lot of time has been taken in placing them effectively.
Top stuff mate!

StrangeEncounters responds:

Hey man! Thanks alot! It really feels good getting a review from you. I also like that drum loop. Altho I think I could've layed some glitchwork on the drums. Anyways. Thank!

Cosby rocks

Best Cosby track I've ever heard. Its cool when the piano takes on a darker tone later on. Good scratching at the start, I thought at the start when you introduce those hiphop sounding stabs you were going to introduce a phat hiphop drumloop, but we get some piano instead. Surprising!

Dawei responds:

I finally have a review besides my friend's named Morrisey

Tasty

Nice remix. The tempo is spot on, the chords are all true to the original. The mix is really clean and full so congratz for that. When you bring the acoustic drums in I'm loving it. Really gives it some energy.
Keep crankin' em' out. ;)

D-A-J responds:

Thx for that review... ;)
