ill repost my myspace page (in the sig).

any feedback is welcome.

"bang out": decent beat. only thing i would change is the kick in the drum pattern.

"some funk": niiiiice spacey funk. i am severely diggin this one.

"just a loop": hmm. i like the extra sounds and panning effects. it's a nice breezy groove.

"this time": hah, i like how you sampled this one. once again, if i could tweak anything, it would be the kick drum pattern.

V.

thanks for the feedback

Just A Loop kinda has a cooled out feel to it, real relaxed.

This Time's intro was Ill like e. coli, IMO. Drum setup under it is cool, but laid back almost to the point of being noticeably simple. Maybe just a switch on the 4th bar or sumn would keep it fresher.

Unfortunately, the other two joints won't load at all :-\

the joint changes and has breaks in it for the hooks. not sure if u were able to catch all that. yeah...its a simple joint so i threw some very noticable changeups (drums and sample both) in it on purpose for that reason.

good lookin on the feedback though.

I'll see about checking back in this evening, though..word.

whats good yall check me out at www.myspace.com/marcofthebeats

"apraise": the keys really make it for me on this one. there's nothing like warm keyboards that bring some soul into a track. i like the use of the vocal samples, kinda reminds me of how Timbo used to use em a lot in his earlier shit.

"2gether": sounds like Kanye to me. nice.

"dre king": this is a fun-ass track. kinda Summery.

"produced by mass taih": i like this one the best. it has a GREAT buildup around the 35-40second mark. good stuff.

V.

plus some beats...

..it's GAHBAGE!






























syke y'all.
a big upsized syke.
shit is dope. as usual.

V.

That vibes + bongo-sounding combo is slick, yao ming?

Didn't you pass this joint over in a rough form last month or so? I remember that "that's fucked up" clear as day..lol

the TROMBONE.

Ergo, that beat is PERFECT, FLAWLESS. Nice turntable verb/echo effects, too. I do kinda wish there was a little more stereo worked into the drums some kind of way so that they could surround the centered 'bone lines.

"yaaaoo"

Excellent!

And I'm finna steal that hi-hat figuration..lol

I've done some pitch cycling, but haven't gotten into the panning effect on it. Word!

like for real lol

Diggin' that offbeat snare. Also diggin' the vocoder (?).

It's been a while since I've been able to get on a beatlistening extravaganza, but mebbe in a day or two!

it's a banger that's fsure.

it's an epic banger.

sounds like music you'd put over a real cool scene in a film. like a heist, or a dude walkin down the street in slo-mo with a long trenchcoat and an uzi at his side.

I like that busy hi-hat. Also really like the vocal/horn/string samples. Hot beat.

"She will never know"

"shoeboxes feat. m a": interesting subject. dude rides the beat reeaaal well. kinda spacey track. should definitely be part of the stoner's listening diet.

"the kid snippet": too short, but ye..it is a snippet so...s'alright. need to hear more to have a proper opinion.

"she will never know...": this one bangs. the kicks are huuuge. i want em hehe.

"space is the place": add this to the stoner's aural diet too. mad trippy.

V.

a section at a time as the innanets allowed.

I feel like the musical progression is a little short given the melodic nature of the guitar riffs...like they WANT to go somewhere immediately but are leashed back. Drums, in particular that kick arrangement and the hats/shakers, help keep it moving along nicely.

Sux I'm not able to hear something through without interruption, though.

i remember in the okproducer showcases i used to review each n every one. got free time on my hands so why not do it again.

V.

http://download.yousendit.com/329AFD4E58AD8BF5

doesn't get repetitive. u keep it moving, which is good when a track/beat is clocking in at over 4mins. keeps my attention.
ooh i like the added tablas near the end. and the main guitar is very cool.

nice!
probly the "fullest" track in this post thus far, along with Instrumental's. full as in it sounds complete n it has a lot more going on in it.

V.

and I consider LFO organ a form of crack rock.

Yeah man...dope how you bring in a bunch of different sounds but keep the melodic theme consistent throughout. Drum break is well-timed.

This is just a cool-ass joint.

V.

love the horns and how you freaked the freq on 'em. only complaint would be the snare...sounds kinda dry to me. otherwise great track for 16 bars and a hook.

Yo, new to da block, check the beat makin skills. for what i got i don't think i did to bad.

http://www.soundclick.com/meanmugrecords

I wonder how this joint would sound with lighter reverb on the drums, though...putting them more in-your-face and heavily contrasted to the delay-FX'd grunt. But that latin percussion-style arrangement is a winner all day, every day.

"Nigga fuck shows, I don't have to be seen/ You makin demos while I make that cream" - MC Ren

the snare has a little bit of extra feedback on it at the end. i'd maybe clip it some more and add a bit of reverb to replace it.

V.

Man...this is sooooo soulful. I love this bassline dude...matches well. Not to mention the strings...

little tip/trick: the bassline is in the sample itself. What I have is two instances of the sample running at the same time, one with a low-pass filter on it (using the free Prosoniq NorthPole VSTfx), and the other unfiltered (though I should prolly run it through a high-pass filter). during the chorus, I have both running, for the verses, I only have the filtered version which gives you the bassline.

www.soundclick.com/stratagy

www.myspace.com/stratiegic

feedback would be great. thanks

"baby don't": great sample. sumthins not gelling with the drums for me tho. not quite sure wat it is. might be the snare..too much reverb i think.

"mother": again, great samle. drums sound good, just the programming near the start goes off the rails a bit.

"only you": this is a heatrock, chuck in a bassline & an emcee, n blammo. BUT......!! i deduct points for the use of the chicken grease snare. sorry, it actually is a great clap/snare, but it's been so overused and done to death it makes me cringe whenever i hear it anymore. thanks a lot commercial radio n tv!!

"rhyme book": now this is phat. all round phat.

V.

snare verb is pretty on point. IF you were to boost the snare, you'd wanna leave the reverb where it is, though..lol...but if I did hear anything funny, I'd say maybe the kick drum was beating that fonky-ass bass riff back too much. And turn the filtered section up! Let it crank! Those highs need to sing through for that 5 seconds! (IMO)


Vision gets some creativity points for that chopping and selection. Now in THIS I do have a reverb gripe, on that reverse cymbal...and the kick seems to have somewhat funny timing, like it keeps jumping its own groove just a little bit. Musically, I'm loving it though. Nice tag vamp on the end, too; this joint gets into some sounds that many a cat is scared to put under the knife.


Neo...yeah yo. Minor 9th chords are my favorite tonal harmonic construction. That clean guitar? Hard as the joint grooves, I do wish it had more than just one drop, but it's understood this was a short clip. Nice choice of sounds throughout.

Smile. I bring you peace.

http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=4747941&q=hi

it's almost 10 tracks in one.
and lol, i was gonna use the "beeuuhhh" sample from G's "pony" as well. just could never cleanly sample it. kudos.

V.

I plan on discontinuing beatmaking.

In the second, it sounds like it's moving towards a jungle, dnb'ish sound, which can hit hard when not overdone. That said, I wonder if getting more drum involvement wouldn't move it with even more force.

At 2:25 or so, that higher countermelody IMO would SMASH with the right reverb to give it a little distance. Maybe a little stereo FX to spread it out, too.

In the last section, I wonder if some filters, even automation-controlled, would give that piano line more drive; it's sitting well on the drums but could stand more sonic development.


These sounds are raw in the engineering aspects, but there's some good things popping off. A few tweaks in mixing and sound production could bring some sections to the next level quick, IMO, without necessarily sacrificing grit.

Hey, if y'all could check out www.myspace.com/hhnous theres two beats on there, not really mixed and lemme know what you think. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks

welcome to the boards dude.

"i'll get by": very fluid n laid back drum programming. the piano sample is a bit disjointed for my tastes, but i think with the right emcee (im thinkn along the lines of a Wu-calibre emcee), they could rip it just right.

"nothing stays the same": again, piano doesn't do much for me. the drums are ill tho. actually it almost reminds me of some Bobby Digital shit.

V.

Hey thanks for the feed back, much appreciated. Checked out your page too really diggin petals and ascension, love those strings.
Peace.

was a song i made for my (now) ex-g/f.
"petals" was her nickname.

V.

Hey i got two more beats up " zelda " and "dreams" at www.myspace.com/hhnous. If you don't mind, check em out and let me know what you think, good or bad. Cheers.

"zelda": very cool.

"dreams": even cooler.

man i like these two better than the other ones. the samples, the drums, it's all gravy.
man we should do like a collab album, we 2 Melb. producers, n get some emcees on it as well.

V.

they just became the first mtm beat feedback council that aeon had discussed two months ago

cool.

honestly tho, and i kno my reviews are rarely negative, its just that i am continually impressed with the music okps produce. i think ive only ever given harsh criticisms once or twice. otherwise everything i hear is dope in one way or the other to me.

V.

everything, unless a joint is REALLY not happening, and then I'll destroy it..lol

But I remember the rolling council idea coming up in Aeon's Weigh In on An Idea Here post. In fact, did I mention it? lol


But hey: best thing we can do, IMO, is to offer thoughts with as much of our own perspectives present as possible. That's the real strength of the rolling council, the chance for decidedly non-neutral takes on the music folks present for listening.

and some days, so that'll be a golden opportunity to offer some in-depth analysis.

I'm gonna have to apply some newfound knowledge from the Mixing Engineer's Handbook to the technical aspects..lol

www.myspace.com/knowlegeproductions

Peace

say the vibe on Ain't A Dream fits the line nicely. Good choice of main pad sound, and it sounds like you matched up reverbs in the track pretty well, something which can make or break the music. Only thing I wish for in this cut is a *little* more life/movement in the bass line, esp. since you went to the trouble of filtering that sample thoroughly. But I'm an absolute fiend for bass lines; your mileage may vary.


Just The Way I Feel is rocking a FAT guitar one-noter on the left in the intro..good shit...now, this track is interesting. You've got some souled-out low rhodes and vocal loops, and much more commercial-sounding drums. In a way it's a little disconcerting (greater reverb disparities in this joint), but in a way it's interesting. I think I hate that open hi-hat that sits slightly left..lol. Just from hearing it so much in like club tracks, strictly my personal opinion on it. I hear you've got some skill laying out a sonic landscape, something not many beatsmiths know anything about.


Intro to the Philly Producer Showcase makes me wonder what you would do with a piano solo etude, #153 from the Mikrokosmos by Bela Bartok. Since it's several tracks together I'll pass it by for now.


Isn't that bassline in Sweet the same one on Crossroads? I'mma have to break that track out. This cut got Sade all over it at first listen, on the vintage RnB tip. That da da da da Da Daaaaaa Daaaaaaaaaa, Da Da da da/ kinda leapt out of the texture at me, like the note repetitions brought themselves undue attention and/or are too big or something; maybe some MIDI velocity variations would fix that..? Cool how you kept the bottom end on this joint reined in on both the kick and bass, helps bring the flavor home.

Thanx for the feedback man, I'm glad you were feelin them..

Peace

"philly producer showcase": i liked everything in this showcase.

"just the way i feel": i'm always a fan of sampling Minnie (or at least i'm assuming it's Minnie). where'd the female vocals come from?

"sweet": hah. i love this Isley Bros. sample. so much so i used it myself on my last beattape. it's called "lady" (right-click + save-as): http://files.mp3.com.au/download.asp?id=117869&Type=MP3&ReferURL=

"aint a dream": cool vocal sample. who is that? sounds like Biggie. i probly would have used a different drum pattern, but this works just fine.

dembeatsdembeatsdembeatsdembeats*

dembeatsdembeatsdembeatsdembeats*

dembeatsdembeatsdembeatsdembeats*

"compote": wow, only 1 word comes to mind...."hellish". lol. i can't think of an application for this, but if the drums were beefed up to the max i could see this being in fight scene in a film.

"1 4daghost": holy shit. this is awesome. candidate for one of the best beats in this post sofar.

"acme": more grimey sounding shit. these last two tracks sound like Donuts on CRACK COCAINE. they so need an emcee on em yesterday.

"mlv": got some sound issues with this one, too much static, but i dunno if that's intentional or not. ur chopping skills are fierce.

V.

The sample arrangement for this cut is cool, but you can't switch it up much without messing heavily with the flavor...so drums are what's gonna drive the action. I'd like to hear what more you could add to it.


COSIGN on 14daghost! That chopping of the strings is great, and nice use of effects to keep the flow moving...clean blend of add'l sounds, and even these very low-key drums fit right in. I could offer some tips on the technicals of mixing this joint so it's less clipped-sounding, but maybe another time.

"for phontigga": very warm track. thumbs up.

"vice": chops are cool. snare ain't really workin for me. sounds like the snare belongs in a rock track, not a jazzy hip-hop one. otherwise, i digs it!

V.

Thanks dude...I appreciate it.

I'd love to hear what a break or chorus would come out as. Three of my favorite musical elements in this joint, namely the vibraphone sound, a working bass line, and some chromatic planing; that one snip that's raised a semitone puts a real nice spin on it...and that bass is nicely balanced between reinforcing the track's rhythmic ideas and providing some counterpoint.


For the second, the 3 on 2 switch at the beginning is already ill..lol...though that chromatic piano line is *SPICY*, meaning since it's a one-bar loop, it's possible to overuse it; to combat that, I'd recommend a couple breaks or short subsistution chops. Again, smart use of the bass frequencies in this track. Is that someone whistling up top? lol

Yo...thanks fam. Actually I finely chopped up Take 6 singing Amazing Grace...but, yeah, it does sound like someone whistling. LOL

www.soundclick.com/funktavius .. just a quick one

"23122006": ye this has potential. very mellow. i say keep goin with that synth and freestyle ur ass off to the beat.

V.

lackadaze, fatty and pin are new, going out on a limb here, let me know what u think

"brick": very disjointed. i like that it's a bit intricate with the chops, but it doesn't sound too good to my ears. or maybe that's the way it's sposed to be. u could use this in a fucked up scene in a movie, easy.

"spacesuit": waaaaay funky. the way the vocals are freaked is very cool.

V.

thanks for checkin it out

really feelin musical jihad on ur page..has that jazzanova vibe i dig and hot drums. eroticdirtyhead was cool too...but i really love that rhodes/bass sound.

none of these beats is actually up because myspace suspended my uploading privileges.

check out spacesuit for my vocal debut and some hotness.

V.

just poppin the old cherry...do u make ur stuff with live instruments, samples or combo? that beat had live bass, but thats it..ur stuff sounds like instruments..is my mind playin tricks?

...from the ones on my myspace music page.
features live bass and wahwah guitar (courtesy of my older bro, who goes by the name of BASSCLEF). the drums were snagged from one of Prince's earlier jams & programmed (think "let's work", "sexy dancer", etc.). the whole thing is kind of an ode to that type of P jam.

V.

check out musicontrack.com/spuratik

let me know what you think.I'm on the old school beat diggin beats from the golden era.Holla.

"no rap": diggin the beat, but not the way strings are chopped.

"the last real digga alive": yeah, this started out fuckn fire. but all these pitch changes with the sample aren't too cool.

"sometimes": nice.

"stuff": i like that you're at least taking the sample at doing your own thing with it. but i'm just not a fan of the way you're using em. ur drum programming has been on point for all the songs sofar, tho.

"stress": again, not feelin the way ur just changing the pitch of the sample. it negates any sort of possible melody that can be created from the sample. maybe try sampling a longer length of the original track? iono. lovin ur drums.

V.

http://www.myspace.com/reconfirmation

newest tracks: my perspective, out of hte dark

"my perspective": started off a bit slow, but really builds nicely towards the strings. i think the only thing bothering me are the drums. the snare is too stiff, needs a bit of reverb to fit in more with the strings and the oboe (is it an oboe? clarinet? watever the fuck it is lol). it just sounds out of place. i rekn either replace it with a different snare, or ye, give it some reverb.

"out of the dark": lol @ the Coming To America sample. dunno about this one, doesn't really move me.

"remain the same": well, you can NEVER go wrong with sampling "Gemini". i like the drums, u kept it on a minimalist vibe like the original song. vocals sample sound good. this is my fav sofar.

"the sting": cool. lol. that's all i have to say bout that one.

V.

i agree the drums are my biggest weakness. i'll mess around with them a little more to see what i can come up with.

thumping breakbeat sound joint after the initial 8 bars w/the clarinet. That woulda been intro HEAVEN..lol..but as the track is, it's got good things happening in it. Props bringing the perpetually slept-on wind instruments in, though it's hard to fit them into the modern palette. Still, the harp helps bring that home. The lone crisp snare sound threatens to turn the track into a club-pop type cut; to move away from that, I might recommend either lowering the pitch on the snare or stacking a lower sound under it. That and just a touch of very light reverb across the drums. And I may suggest flipping up the kick drum so it's not a one-bar pattern. Overall, this cut would benefit from going back under the knife some more, but it's got a good foundation to it; keep it up mang.


YO. Out Of The Dark needs, IMO, a BIG, HEAVY, GRUNGY, DIRTY SNARE DRUM, and a GRIMY, MEAN KICK DRUM. That shaker and the regular cymbal hits are just fine to me, and the pads/melody are cool. And bringing sumn from that CTA intro..lol...back periodically in the beat will add musical cohesiveness.

people always tend to not review my shit.

my solemn promise to listen to what you've got with the utmost attention (unless the myspace player acts up again) and bent towards constructive musical analysis. Whatever all that coming from me is worth. lol

But it will happen.

V.

Besides, you don't want us to be hasty on the listen. Me, I'd rather drum up a nice stretch where I can pay real attention to what I'm hearing, and araQual's also a focused listener.

Incidentally, do you happen to have a soundclick or other myspace alternative with the music on it in case myspace starts acting up?

im just sayin, i posted at least a dozen times and aint heard no criticism or nothin, but its all good. as far as soundclick goes, i have an account but havent updated in a while.

shiit dude i really liked your remain the same beat ! ! ! others were dope too but this ws something else !
feedback from my beats would be hugely apreciated

peace !

I'm gonna dd you though. I'll gladly listen. Nobody listens to my stuff either but it doesn't stop me from posting.
*******************UPDATE*******************************
My bad...didn't notice the other page but the songs won't load on my computer...I really tried though...

man, i think u already kno i like ur shit. using ur "buttafly boom" joint on the upcoming Lesson Mixtape.

"evolutionsolmusic": very funky. needs another instrument, or maybe more keys to beef things up. sounds a little barebones to me. get like a harmonica solo in there or sumn lol. just needs an extra thing to make it sound like a complete song for me. the drums are boomin.

"luxurious relaxation": lady, ur drum game is fierce. u really create a mood and stick with it. holy crap, the drum break near the 2min mark is lovely! this is riiiight up there with best i've heard sofar in this whole thread/post.

"on the 9sometimes 1": i think i just zoned out to this one. track was over before i realised it. i guess that's a good thing? i'm not even high right now (wish i WAS...fuckn lazyass dealer takin xmas holidays).

"selma": i like the way u chop samples. if i wasn't such a lazyass beatmaker, i would do something similar. but my mind is always moving at a million miles a second, so i never stop and give myself time to finely chop shit up. kudos on that. it may just be my speakers, but the bass is distorting in some places, but it's alright in others. some funkyass bass riffs in here.

V.

Evolutionsolmusic got me in the Herbie mode now..lol; I think this cut, more than anything, is aching to get some vocals on it. I bet you could boost that electric sound AND the...harmonica? ha!...sound without compromising the groove in the least bit. Those drums are indeed beastly, though, nice and grunge-laden.


Is that Wes on LR? Either that or I mighta heard that riff on some late Charlie Christian or sumn. YO, hot tempo switch to the dnb..and you gon have to tell me directly you ain't borrow that break from somewhere..GYEAH!! The vibe of this cut is extra cool, though...although I do wish there were another lick to offset the one guitar chop, just for contrapunctus' sake. It was hard for me to even find something to look for in this joint, though; 'tis Official.


I think I'm in love with your hi-hat game on onthe9sometimes. I myself don't often leave enough open space in my joint to let me turn down the hats and have them still cut through, so it's a fresh change to hear it done effectively. Real cool cut, though, VERY nicely chopped, and the drums as a whole are definitely pulling their weight in leading the track. If I did want for something in this one, I'd say that you could use more of your stereo panorama. The snare has some discrete channeling, but I bet the samplework could benefit from some real creative panning, too.

myspace.com/jaywee36

let me kno what yall think

"phat horns": phat horns indeed. nice.

"chinese banger": cool. i went through an Asian phase myself. it can really work wonders sometimes. i need to hear more of the main sample to make up my mind bout this one.

"spanish guitar": banger!!! wow this is sick.

"laid back guitar": sounds like the same guitar sample at the start of John Legend's "slow dance". tis good. i like all of these tracks.

V.

Check it out...Two acts I am releasing in 2007...let me know what you think.

got somethin with that "stay focused" joint...lots of energy in the rhymes. hook might not be my favorite part (daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy), but it works. beat is dope, only thing i might add is bring in a kick and a snare at somepoint to make it really knock.

Cool...yeh I am getting a mixed response on the chorus. Thanks.

this is a great track.

i agree with maybe testing a kick and a snare in at some point after the first verse. the hook is fine imo. like, it's annoying but it has to be, you just wanna sing with the horn.

and because of that it works.

Thanks...that's exactly the intent... to blow with the horns...good business. good forum.

Thanks...that's exactly the intent... to blow with the horns...good business. good forum.

"stay focused": this is great. might need some drums droppin in the second verse or sumthn, just to switch it up while still keeping my head nodding.

"got to eat": very cool.

"break": another great sample. i like the emcees too.

"perpetrator": niiiice. all of these are great. perhaps ease up on the flange/phaser on this one a lil bit tho? otherwise it's all gravy.

V.

Thanks, I will be finalizing it soon...redoing the vocals on "Gotta Eat"... nice feedback.

this shit is pro-shit :O damn man... everything on your myspace sounded dope ! ! !
nothing negative to say bout your beats.

Peace

Break, son. Clean bass riding that joint; that's the music's driving force, sounds like. Those drums are hittin, though; crank em up! Sounds like the emcee's hard at work on this cut, though; overall this is a real nice track mang.


Yo, Perpetrator got the sound of some classic West Coast in it. That beat just rides. Elle's capturing a sound with what she's doing, but I wonder if y'all couldn't bring it home more with either: some vintage grunge verb or: some HEAVY, smushing compression with some light filtering...or both!


Stay Focused is 98% a FIRE ASS CUT. Sounds like a couple seams could stand some filling in so it doesn't sound like breaks every four bars (reduces their effect). But Damn what these cats saying, that hook is WHASSUP! The emcee is bringing some fierceness; I'm loving this track yo.



Check it out...you got engineering lined up for her cuts? I'm asking because I'm hearing some stuff that could seriously pop off with some creative mixing..some next level type stuff, IMO.

THANKS!!! I do got some engineering lined up. You all are real tight on your feedback around here...True Listeners. Appreciations. I will keep it true.

"he's hers": a little too disjointed for me. i like the bassline (which im assuming u programmed urself?), the sample is a lil too overbearing. either limit its use or get rid of it i rekn (im talkn bout that muffled staticcy trumpet). the keys need to shine more.

top two are new to this forum, check the 3rd & 4th too

"de foro": dare u say banger? i say so too.

"beat_2": hmmm, cool sample, but it doesn't go anywhere. too repetitive.

"dusted out": chiiiiillll. nice.

"hakim_olajuwon": first of all, LOVE the title lol. but it doesn't really go anywhere.

"living single": lol i remember the show. this is a nice enough beat, but i don't like the melody.

"flim_flam": yup, definitely an early 90s feel. i could see Chip-Fu flowin over this easily.

i'll let this one rock til monday and let you guys finish doing your thing.

awesome shit.

V.

even Tuesday, as Monday is my last day off work.

Tell you what man, it's always encouraging how much just plain nice music is being created...makes it a pleasure to listen, albeit a time-allocating one.

have a new beat up from the sample flip challenge, let me get some constructive criticism if u can. thanks

I don't know if it's too late to post in here, but I've got some stuff on myspace that I wouldn't mind hearing some thoughts on. They aren't hip-hop beats at all, really, although they are heavily influenced by hip-hop.

..don't just be posting up outta nowhere and wanting a review. get involved and review other peoples shit while ur in these beats posts. give a little to get somethin back.

ok TRUTHFULLY, i don't mind reviewing ANYone who posts stuff. but it would be nice to see everyone giving everyone a listen, stead of only a few reviewing the many.
ykno?

i'll be back late on Jan 1st to review anythng else in here. til then, HAPPY NEW YEARS.

yo

i like your beats, your style of making beats is eclectic and i like that !... the best beat (on my opinion) was musical jihad cause the track had reel dope feel to it !

it would be dope if you´d check my beats out and give some feedback

peace

more time later, OR I see said newcomers doing some reviewing of their own; I'm a believer in community symbiosis, yao ming?

yo

im new on these boards but if some of yall would check my shit out it would be dope... im in a need of constructive feedback...

back later to hollar @ your (and the rest of the uncovered folks') joints mang

Far Beyond the One Purpose - This cut is so simple it's ridiculous. Perfect example, I think, of beauty in simplicity, though. Nice sax loop..and those piano chords were right on point. Only thing is, the drum pattern keeps reminding me of Crazy, the Gnarls joint; I think it's the crispness of the snare combined with that kind of kick pattern, at that tempo. The periodic triangle-esque hit sits well on the backs of the phrases, and overall the whole vibe of this joint is real easy to groove to. I feel like I recognize those voice clips, but I can't hear what they're saying :( and I'm too absent-minded to recall them.


Lucky is a HOT joint yo! That loop is of some beautiful orchestration, and I'm digging what you did with the drums, esp. the hi-hat. This is the type of track where I bet if you spread the strings out through the stereo panorama you'd get absolute magic. Either a stereo imaging plugin or the old doubling trick, I'd love to hear if you're willing to mess w/something like that. That kick is nice and juicy.


Breath of Fresh Air - good to hear you laying in a discrete bass line, and some real nice sounds in this joint top to bottom. That bass line switches up at the right time to kill any building repetitiveness without being too obtrusive, which is what it does best. Iunno...the sounds fit each other real well in this cut. I'm not sure if the drums in the intro are in the sample, but if it's possible, it'd be cool to hear a couple bars with no drums at all.

thanks man... reply hugely apreciated ! ! ! ill try to fix those few things when i get the time to do it !

peace

LISTEN TO ARAQUAL'S AND MY SHIT. lol


But that way, there's incentive for folks to get on the rolling council, and further incentive for its members at any point to be thorough in their reviewing. This system will only work if people want it to, and no matter what, everyone has to be able to contribute at least a LITTLE bit. If they do, everyone gets some listening in (it's good for you! let a veteran musician tell you) AND get honest reviews.


That's my idea, though; what do y'all think?

wrapped up for this session.

Good stuff happening y'all!

wrap.it.UP!

joint's just clearer in the playback even still at 48kHz, and 96 = CRYSTALLINE. I'm finna son the audible spectrum!

check out my music at www.myspace.com/sensualharassment ... let me know what you think, thx
