on Finding You - Version 2 by steve010101
This track belongs to 4-5 genres, but I'd call it chillstep :)
Love that funny vocals, and relaxing atmosphere through the whole song!

Yeah, I think Chillstep would be a good description.

Thanks for the comment.

Kind regards,

Cool track. I love minimal. Although this is obviously more than minimal. Perhaps chillstep/minimal or minimal chillstep?

Any, i quite enjoyed. Some good suggestions here. But IMO, if you tweek, keep the minimal feel to it. More is not always better.

Good work.

Thanks for the comment. Most of the tweaking has been based on delay and panning, so the track is very much the same, just with a bit more energy.

Kind regards,

Very cool vibe here. I like the vocal sample but agree with Valve that it needs some tweaking if you want to keep it prominent in the mix. Could put simple lfo on it and knob-ride automation or some ping pong pitch delays if you are low on knobs. :D Sounds like perfect gaming music to me. It would calm me down when i realized the key needed for the end of level door is the same one dropped two worlds ago to make room for more arrows.

I tweaked it as you and ValVedriVer suggested. I think it sounds a whole lot better now.

Thanks for the suggestions and tips.

Kind regards,

Wow, this is great too. I MINOR2GO's loops. I use them a lot myself. You really did something with that. I love it!!

Thanks a lot. Of all the instruments out there, I find the acoustic guitar to be one of the most emotive instruments, but maybe that's just because I personally played the guitar in the past!

Yeah, MINOR2GO has some real quality loops -- I'm really glad I found this guitar loop.

Anyway, thanks a bunch for the feedback!

I would go with chillstep/mdub, which I love. I really like this. Reminds me a tad of Blackmill, that type. Definitely a download for me, thank you!

Thanks a lot. Blackmill is an artist that inspired me to compose music. Thanks for the feedback.

Not a bad little track you got here.

Dreams move laterally and have transfinite perimeters. Which means they're all over the place and seemingly infinite in size.
Keeping that in mind, the little vocal thing you have going through this is on a linear track. It doesn't move anywhere but front to back. Try some panning and volume automation. Maybe a little delay. Give it freedom to roam. Same with the gated chorus. It's effective, but some creative panning would really bring it to life. The only other suggestion I have is maybe add a little more variation to the drums. Maybe some hats and a couple rides to help fill in some of the spaces.
The use of Allan Watts was an excellent choice. You just can't go wrong with that. The whole atmosphere of the track is a good one and I can see, or hear, rather, how it's a dreamy one. I really like the concept and, honestly, it's good as it is, I just think it could be better with some super easy adjustments.

Take care.

Thanks for the comment. In the past, I've made the mistake of making too many layers in my tracks, so I tried to keep this track as minimalistic as I could.

To be honest, the drums also bugged me a bit, as I knew something new could be thrown in there. I went wild with reverb in this track though, but I couldn't find much place for delay. As for panning, thats really something I need to add to my tracks (unfortunately, I only have one operational speaker at the moment and I cant find my headphones :( , so I kind of just abandoned panning on this track, as I cant hear it).

But I agree with everything you said. I'll definitely have to make some minor adjustments.

Thanks for the feedback!

on Come Home by steve010101
Hi steve, I think this piece would be perfect for my student film.

It will be non profit, and the film will be used solely as a university assignment. Would it be ok for me to use it?

thanks,

Yeah, sure! If you can, please send me the film in a private message -- I'd love to see what you have done with it when its complete!

Amazing work! Top quality, great use of vocals and guitar samples. All in all just an amazing yet relaxing track to listen to. Very laid back and catchy. Thanks for the listen and hope to hear more like this in the future!

Thanks for the kind words. I plan to make more like this in the future, but for now I'm trying to experiment with a wide variety of genres. I'll be sure to get back to this style though!

How the hell did you make this ship like waveform?
This is a simple artwork on it's own...:-)
I'm so happy cause this brilliance is very far from dnb...this is much more than only tuctuctuctuc...you know, kick after kick...unbelevable music you have in your hand, heart and soul...I'm a fan...

10/10

Haha, yeah, the waveform freaked me out when I uploaded it. Looks like a great big ol' cargo ship!

The guitar-loop had to take centre stage on this track, so I tried to keep it as simple as possible. Glad you liked it.

If you're wondering, the vocals are by Alan Watts (look him up on Youtube).

Thanks for the comment.

Glad you liked it. This originally started as 3 different compositions, but my gut told me to find a way to unite them. I'm glad you thought I pulled it off.

Thanks for the kind words.
