I'm not that interesting, and you really don't care who I am so long as I entertain your ass. So stop acting like you are interested in who I am.

"Not bad"

Next time you put a red herring in one of your games make it have a use to throw people off :)

Two complaints:

1. The gold buddha + iron bar = crowbar, makes no sense at all
2. The ending was anticlimactic.

Otherwise, keep 'em coming :)

I would think putting a giant lightbulb up by the north pole would contribute to the melting of the polar ice cap... jerk.

"Old School"

Reminds me of the early jungle/dnb from the late nineties... simple pads, ambient atmosphere, and the Amen break.

Like your work.

"5 & 10"

date: April 29, 2008

This song is fantastic! Straight to my favorites list!

This tune is top notch; the arrangement is superb (great builds, breaks and automation), and you picked your timbres perfectly (I love your pads!).

Because this is an incredibly well done song I'm going to get incredibly picky in my criticism, so break out the salt because I am by no means a professional :P Mastering is by far the most difficult thing about producing a song and I think your levels, eq-ing and compression need more tweaking to make this a truly professional sounding/commercially viable tune.

My first criticism would be that the guitar sounds too perfect, too quantized and sterile, but that is my own personal taste and is neither here nor there. The song should start much quieter so when you have the drum build up at 1:40 there will be a greater feeling of build and hype into the rest of the song. I also feel that the drums should be much more up front making this song more of a banger. After the lead synth and the massive build up to 1:40 the song feels a little deflated. You could probably scale back on you lead synths a little; they are so cutting (which is good) that they don't take too much volume to cause the hype you're going for, and by scaling them back you will have more headroom to work with. I would also like to hear your leads and arpegiations bussed lightly into the same reverb your pads use. Doing so may seem like a contradiction, especially after making room for everything with eg and compression, but it would give the song better cohesion by having the sounds subtly blending in a practicably inaudible way.

I'm not sure what else to say :P You know full well it's a phenomenal song! You get a well deserved 5 & 10 from me.

I love you pads, bring out the drums, scale back your leads.

Keep up the great work!

I'm pouring the salt over my open wound. Haha nah just kidding. I agree about the guitar. I got a little too happy with the quantization on that. I'm also definitely not a master of mastering (yes very corny) and when it comes to compression and eq'ing, I'm lucky to get by with what very little I do know. It's usually the first thing I notice about any kind of electronica piece I do is how much "bigger" this could sound through the right amount of mastering. I appreciate the critique. It's always nice to get tips and knowledge that will help me with the next project. Now get back to those remixes Mo!
