[Brando - First Ever song!]

uhhhhhh

just responding to the guy below...
what?????
instrument samples against the rules, that would be crazy!
I highly advize you to touch them again as they are the basis for all electronic music!
There is no shame in using samples!!!!!
When people think samples they must think you are just stealing other peoples melodies or something. NOT TRUE!

its just like an instrument, nobody yells at Bach for stealing the clarinet, its just an instrument

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Lol thanks for trying to explain, but I still have no idea what wtflol was on about. The sounds i used in that were fl presets. Nothing wrong with that.

[lonely friday nights]

erphhh

Well, I gotta say, that while i really like most of your music, the synth you brought in at round 27sec was not for me. It sounds like someone is waving a taser wrapped in wool about 3 inches from my face. ERg, but I guess you liked it

You are very talented with getting those vocals effects to sound good and fit with the song, nice job

snayk responds:

Hahahaha that's a unique description of a synth :P

I get how someone could not like it though. I DO like that synth, but I actually was slightly bothered by the fact that it sounds like farting when it hits low notes. If the song was in a higher key, the synth would sound better. I tried it, but didn't like the emotion of the song as much when it was higher. Specifically the vocals.

Thanks for the review :)

[disassociation]

Good

I am just here to say that the dude two review below me has no clue what he is talking about and clearly has never heard DnB before.

Luckily, I have
and the song sounds great

Noisia-esque with those gritty hoover things

[does this make]

SWEEEEEET

Wowzers, why has nobody comment on this. the beat is AWESOME

Just found you and I absolutely love your stuff, it is very unique and has a great feel.
Nice to find a real artist on NG every once in a while.

snayk responds:

Thanks for the review :) Yeah I've always considered this one of my underrated songs, too. It doesn't seem to get much attention, but I really like it. I'm glad you too.

[Solus- Ice Cage]

VEry well done

No complaints, you knew what you where doing

Advice, give the wierd warpy sound that comes it around 1:15 some more bass and and crunch, it is a little out of place and doesn't sound a wintery as the rest of the song. I was imagining it as wierd deep crunchy sounds coming from a glacier or something.

What did you use for the piano portion? It is recorded or actually a synth, because it sounds great

SolusLunes responds:

The piano is recorded :D

The "weird warpy sound" is a distorted, pitchbent square wave, and I added it to add to the desolate feeling, because it sounds mournful. :D

[Dj Aidz - Techno Loop]

It sucks

Not to be harsh or anything, but just dont waste our time with this kind of stuff. This took you what, 3 min to make....

I would love to see a song or bit or something (no matter how shitty), and tell you how to improve, but this is just a waste of everyones time.

[DJ-Nomad - Bermuda]

Tons of potential

I like the sound alot, very nice, all the parts you brought in were good, so i'll go right to how I think it could be improved. I still think the beginning with the main lead could be mastered tighter, I think it sticks out from the main body of the song too much. I would suggest either turning it down, or turning other parts up to make it more part of the song instead of on top of it. I would also heavily suggest going in to that main lead and individually panning the notes a little to either side to give it a more professional 3d feel. The break and the part right after the break is really good, I think it's pretty much perfect. I think the gating at the end it a lttle too heavy handed, I would try incomplete gating or another effect/reorganization instead, I dont think It really fits with the flowing sound of the song. Remove the stupid backspin at the end, make your own effect if you need one.

The thing you should do is go through the beginning and make sure one instrument/lead/pattern is never always at the forefront of the listeners attention, it should always be multiple sounds interwoven together so it is difficult to concentrate on any one. This shouldn't be too hard to do with what you have so far.

[DJ-Nomad - Club Nomadica]

I like it

Thats a pretty good one, I like it
so right to the how to improve it!

A few things.
1. I think the biggest thing that would improve the mix would be a little more variation in the frequencies, Most of the song stays in the low and low middle freq's, and I think it would sound more professional with some more stuff in the the high end (maybe some bendy electro synths)

2. While I always say your songs could have more noises and FX, I think this one could specifically benefit from some effects on the transitions, You use automations nicely, but I think a reverse cymbal or some wierd noise would add to the complexity and make it cooler.

3. Lastly, gosh man, stop resorting to plopping a wierd gating pattern on the last third of the song for some variation. I don't like it, its way too noticable/presetty/doesn't sound good. I know you can find another way to make the end interesting.

Still, a good song.

DJ-Nomad responds:

as always I am grateful for your advice, this will help a lot!!

[Bag Man--_--]

Mad Coincedence

So, this isn't my favorite song, solid musically but I'm not a huge fan. Most of your other work I've listened to: AMAZING! You're a pretty prolific and talented artist, so kudo's.
It's people like you that make me want to stop making music... (it's a compliment)

Anyways the reason I'm commenting is that your description made me laugh.

Have you seen this?
