Re: (minimalist ambient) Solar Operator

Once when people told me "nice tune, it sounds like the soundtrack of a film/video game/series", I used to get a little offended and demoralised. I foolishly believed that BGM and soundtracks were a minor art and that a tune should live a life of its own. Then I started writing commissioned soundtra...

Re: (80's Synthpop/New Romantic) She Walks In Beauty

The piece clearly points to a specific point in the history of pop music and does so well, indeed very well, philologically, from a sound design and composition point of view. Also in terms of the mix: the sounds are crisp, distinct, expanded to the maximum of their possibilities, powerful and balan...

Re: Using Mimic for reference tracks (for mixing)

Symphonic-progressive rock. I'm sorry to go so shamefully off-topic, but my brother is a prog rocker who has just finished writing an LP and since fans of the genre are rare (but usually very attentive) maybe you'd like to give it a listen. He is a Reaperian, so in more than a way you two have a ba...

I can't find the other ones but here's one of them. Your song, the arrangement, melody, and sound effects is awesome to me. You sure know what you're doing. If they remade a Werewolf (1987) series, The Eye would be an Excellent theme song. https://soundcloud.com/synthpresets/samplestar-nu-electrik-...

Re: Robots

First and foremost, robots or AI are taking jobs away from educated people and artists. On the contrary, craftsmen are almost irreplaceable.

Re: From Here To Here: Big L Fat Joe The Enemy Remix

A very unique experiment, to say the least. Fortunately, afaik, in the US they still haven't realized the enormous sampling potential of Joe Hisaishi's music...just kidding...but not too much. I must say that the pairing works, although perhaps it could have used a less pissed off and softer flow, b...

Re: (eletronic) Apricity

The sounds are very balanced with each other in terms of importance, I don't know if I am explaining this well, but I mean that although there are several interlaced melody lines there is no annoying crowding that forces you to concentrate to follow the flow of the track. this is not the time to tal...

Re: In need of a mix critique...(Hip Hop Song with Vocals)

Premised that this is not a genre I frequent much, I can still say that that lead that starts when the vocals also enter (i.e., at 0:15) needs to be removed completely. The reasons why I say such a trancey thing are as follows. 1) It has its fundamental frequency rather high in the spectrum, while t...

Re: [Electronic/Synthwave] The Eye

Enjoying the track and yeah the compression is a bit OTT. Bass is lovely and funky! And perhaps a few too many musical ideas packed in? The intro is a bit weak IMHO. I'd pick a theme from later to intro the track? It doesn't communicate the mood IMHO. The vocal was also a bit buried in places? I th...
