Description : Edit*
made in iTouch Beatmaker app.
Second time around and thanks to all the people who gave advice on the levels... Much appriciated, and I hope y'all check it out again to tell me if it sounds better...
I think my headphones don't have a wide enough range to pick up the bass so that still might be an issue.
I also TOTALLY forgot to credit all the loopers whos loops I used last time, sorry bout that and here's who get's the cred:
Planetjazzbass, Djerc7, Minor2go, and ruhr... Bout the only thing I did were drums and bass.
Last time
Thanx to all the supportive loopers that have been showing me The Way...

Its insane what we are able to do today with technology and in the right hands its usually a great great thing like you have demonstrated with this track. Great work man, love everything from the strings to the piano to the beat. Love it.
It´s true, its amazing how cheap it is too! The program I use cost $10! I probably never would have started producing music like this if it wasn´t made so accessible and cheap. Glad you like the track and thanks for the review!
I love the drum timing... thats the unexpected that makes the difference between someone just palying with loops and composing! Using your head to take it to the next level! This is GREAT WORK my friend! GREAT!! Man, I can't wait til you get some REAL equipment LOL!
That's awesome.. I am gonna rent that harp again and record some more.
Levels bro.. But since you are doing this on the iphone...
Man.. I am gonna be honest with you, but that drum hit being slightly off really irked me.. it works, but it doesn't.. ... BUT DO NOT think "oh I suck"
or whatever..
You are learning, and just know that you have a HUGE opportunity to get better.
Yo thanks for the review and the loop! I think with all my songs my plan is to eventually get them on a comp with a real DAW and a graphic EQ and remaster everything I've done...
The drum hit being on the "and" of 4 is intentional, I guess as a drummer I get a little bored of just a standard 2 & 4 feel.
As always I appriciate the advice and take the constructive criticism as a sign of respect... I'm sure there's plenty of tracks that you don't even bother to say anything about so the fact you'd offer me any advice is a very good thing.
I think I'm gonna search the forums of resources on mastering advice. Thanks again!
This is a great piece! It gives me a feeling of peace! Great job using loops on this one! I like the drums a lot, they're snappy! This updated mix sounds good, even though I didn't hear the old one. The bass is solid without being overpowering. Those strings and guitars are really cool! Nice work my friend!
nice track here. it has got that a rock feel to it and somehow the electronic. but what catches me the most is kinda the hip hop feel to it. maybe i am the only one who hears it. nice compilation.
v2: the additional production work on this is so fitting - this contains so much, and for me it's the thing happening in the interstices that really pull me in - awesome music, much respect
Thanks for coming back for a second listen! It's nice to have experienced vets such as yourself giving me feedback and helping me improve my technique. Respect to you and yours as well.
This is just great thnx! I mean wow for real...I think its the bass that really makes this track and the strings..dude amazing stuff! Nice and keep it up!
Thanks for the listen! I'm glad you like the bass, since it was one of like two things I actually created. I'll be sure to post the loop ASAP... It's amazing how complex and dynamic the synth I used is considering it was a $3 itouch app... Thanks again!
Let me start by saying this is a great piece, I really enjoyed it!
Bass is too heavy brother, albeit at times it actually works, it can def drop down a bit. Some of your samples are too piercing, perhaps EQ them a bit. That or simply lower their volume. Im specifically looking at the blaring horn or guitar sample.
This is a great piece. Really moves and stays busy. I enjoyed it Thanx.
Ok sorry for the long reply... wanted to wait til I had actually updated with your suggestions... I'm altered the mix a bit, let me know how that bass is... I still can't hear it really in my headphones...
not a producer, but from this listener's pov - this is really a lovely and flowing piece of music - the stitches or breaths (as opposed to cuts) add a perspective - without that really cool human touch this might sound more like a collage rather than a tapestry, which is what i'm hearing - much admired
The bass at around 37 sec could prob come down just a tad, sounded a little much in my headphones. Thought there could have been some more highs in it as well, just brighten it up a bit, add some presence. That could be because it's not mastered too. Just my opinion, hope it helps.
Thank you! This is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for! I think my headphones don't have the range to pick up the bass, because honestly I can't hear it at all! I'll be sure to bring down the volume a bit and EQ up the highs... It's a bit tough because I'm making my tracks on an Ipod Touch, but I think I can manage it. Thanks again for the really helpful review.
*edit track updated, took your advice and eq'd the highs on the bass a bit higher.

Description : Something i did when i was about 15, and when i still made beats. This particular track is actually the reason i decided to get into composing at all. I had a good run with the beats and hip-hop scene, but i always had a leaning more towards composing and this, i think, is the catalyst for that revelation. This beat is 9 years old, and gives you a sense of what it was like to be a young, passionate, musically driven teen. Thank you.
