Description : First track here for a few months. Been real busy with work and what not, so not had much time to do music. This comprises solely of chopped up loops and samples as i only have my works laptop and some headphones with me. This is a nice chilled out, downtempo progressive piece that moves along quite nicely! :)

If there is any obvious mistakes in the mix that I've made, please let me know, thanks! :)

Hey. very groovy track you've made here! Love the jammin sampling! Cool sounding instruments you chose. I'd have to agree with StaticNomad about the vocals, I guess they just sound a bit too wet in the reverb zone, and maybe to heavy on the high frequencies. The rest of the mix sounds really nice to me though! You've done a nice combination of styles in here, and it stays interesting. Well done!

the e piano lines grabbed my attention right away...sets up that nice soulful/funky groove to follow...enough variation to keep the ears attentive...its a smooth flowing mix Extraball...makes me want to get back at the recording with some of those vibes you have going in this one....enjoyed this one....proof that you can still do it even with limited time & sound options....well done...hope the world is treating you well over your side of the pond...(I mis-spent a couple of year of my youth in Glasgow (Brigton).....Ed

Cool track, very funky, I agree with putting it in the funk genre but there is a bit of an acid jazz feel to it as well. Loved the keys you used they all seemed to mesh well with each other and they changed as the track evolved. Well done, enjoyed the track!

a very funky number 'that moves along quite nicely'. Indeed. That's absolutely true: chill, groovy and relaxing... ! I must say again: I like the simplicity of your compositions and the work you did with all the loops here. The drums you using sound very nice and they are oldschool-styled with this reverbed snare. The keys are just great: from 1:48 you introduce some a little taste of improv. with background rhodes witch sounds cool... The vox loop sounds like on 80's funk/disco recordings. 2:36 - also nice change with 2 rhodes and bass guitar. The orchestral sounds (from 3:00) are maybe a bit too pompous and 'cinematic' in here and goes also too far from 80's funk groove sound image (for me) but still it is very smooth and nice merged together. I am enjoying it a lot!

Nicely done....loving the Rhodes in this. You have this wonderful piece marked in the electronic genre but I agree with crucethus...it's more like funk. Still a great job though! ^___^

Greetings, Mr Extraball.

Some classic funky Rhodes (reminds me a lot of a Fun Lovin' Criminals track. Maybe Smoke Em?) and then a solid beat that is built upon at 0:36.

Everything sitting very tightly.

1:00 those vocals are awesome. Where are they from/who are they? Probably too much reverb on them but that's your choice.

1:48 clavichord change was needed then as the previous riffs had become a little monotonous.

Lots of funk in this.

2:37 beat gets subtler(it was just starting to get a bit boring) and there's some extra percussion in bongo/djembe form as well as some very cool bass guitar pops. Love that sound when it's done right.

Then a cool, big string sound, which continues in the background as those fine vocals return on 4:12.

Shame you didn't play any of this as I'd give you much higher marks if you had.

Overall, it's a well produced, tight and neat funky, cool groover and I don't have any additional production criticisms. Well chosen and arranged loops...

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.
