Description : Draft 2, mixing this one is a bit like trying to cram an elephant into a shoebox though!

It should be a long and ongoing battle, but I'll finish it eventually, lol.

This tune is savage yet melodic at the same time. I'm a big fan of that style and try to do it myself sometimes (with limited success) Love the phatness of the drum section and dig your melodies. I'm glad i found your page again because you do some blinding stuff. How about we try a collab sometime?
Be good to have you show yourself on the site again. It's a bit dead round here just lateley.
All the best,

Hey Koukotsu!

What a track, I really like the synths, which are constantly changing in rhythm and progression, also wicked drums ,bass and transitions! Great work and great track, fav. this one!

Thanks a bunch!

I still need to work on the mixing a bit (the bass is a little out of control at times!) but I'm very proud of this one!

Thanks for stopping by, I'll come pay you back real soon!

Thank you! For draft 3 I think taming that crazy bass is in order, it's a bit too gritty at times I think.

Really glad you liked it, and thanks for the fave!

Sojobeast took the words right out of my mouth, "allergic to cardinals ?" haha! I do like how you used an everyday event for the title.

Hey K, this is cool, no complaints here. I'm sure if you rework it you could tidy things up but overall it is a very good song idea with some nice dynamics, well done!

Hi there!

Alergic to Cardinals?
lol, that's one of the funniest alergies I've ever heard of! Sorry, but it's true.
Sounds like you're taking it out on cardinals with this sound. I really like this tune though. Waiting for more to come.

Hi!

Sorry to take so long to reply, I've been having some computer issues lately!

And yep, I was attempting to capture the essence of those ferocious feathered fighting fiends, that's why it's a bit on the rowdy side, lol. Plus I've been listening to a lot of rock albums lately.

Thanks so much for reviewing, I finally have some free time to devote to repaying everyone now!

Thank you!

I'll probably be getting back to my softer sound real soon, I've just been on a "hard" kick from listening to so much Rock music lately, lol.

Thanks again, I'll come by and review a few more of your tracks when I get my work out of the way today!

Thanks a bunch!

Yeah there are a few parts that a seriously cluttered, I should definitely use a "less is more approach" for this one.

Thanks for the review!

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.

Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.

Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...

Description : Got some spare time finally...just started on some random ideas basically (lets say kygo meets alan walker). A blend of dubstep,edm,downbeat,tropical etc.
It's still a work in progress, so i would appreciate your honest inputs. Thanks to all those whose loops I have used in here, sorry I don't have time to search them out.
Edit-added some more filthy sounds from my previous tracks and gave it some ending. Advice will be helpful.
