Sweet beat, the music is chill and your rap fills it in perfectly. Reminds me of some good late 90's/early 00's stuff. One of those tracks I could listen to over and over again

dunno why there's no reviews on this already bro, this is superb. every acoustic song i've tried to make just comes out too canned, you've hit the nail on the head with this one and found the perfect vibe, all the instruments worked together flawlessly and the vocals were simple but priceless. i suppose if you really wanted me to criticize something, i would say that sometimes different instruments were a little out of sync with each other, but realistically that worked out so well i'm amazed. keep this up i love it, cheers amigo

SineRider responds:

Yeah, timing has been a problem with this one since I frist started it. I covered it up enough it's not too noticeable. When I tried rerecording, the parts just didn't sound right. So I kep the originals. I was hoping nobody would notice XD

Thanks for your kind words vanguard :)

i'md ruNK!

listen tho. in my drunk opinois, i think the 3rd(?) bar should be meshed with the fourth(?) bar, meaning you should move the drum intro a bar earlier so it coincides with the "YEAHHHHHHHHHH" type thing. after that it's al lcake! syntrus you are my object of fandom!

Syntrus responds:

Hell yeah holidays are for drinking!

crisp

very chill, and i'm diggin the way the delay effect works out in this one. i think the beat works well with it, it's energetic without being too frantic or square. the intro is my favorite part. nice work :-)

Funkyfists responds:

Thanks for the nice review! I like to have something out of the ordinary in all of my tracks.

rockin

i'm liking the overall feel of the piece, but there is a little repetition going around here. i would suggest in the places where the lead repeats itself, you throw in some kind of variation to break it up, and perhaps some 8th notes in the guitar sometimes. as it is, it's a very driving 1-3 kind of beat emphasis, if perhaps you threw in some syncopation, such as a 1-4-2-1 beat emphasis. since the rest of the song is pretty straightforward, that rhythm will seem very fast and maybe act as a good closer. good job :-)

loansindi responds:

wow this is an old piece.

thanks for the input though, glad you liked it.

very energetic!

very cool piece, i especially like the crowd noise as a way to keep the beat. did you chain that? anyways, good piece all around, if i had to nitpick i'd say that some of the chord changes where a little muddy. it sounded it resulted from the chord behind it holding too long, if you could make it cut off a little bit faster i think it'd sound better. also, everything was awesome until that very last note, i feel like if it had gone down to the root it would've given a better sense of closure. regardless, i really liked it, hope it's not going to be this long again before you put out another piece because i look forward to hearing it!

SmdSkata responds:

No sidechaining at all actually. I had a sample that fit perfectly with a little work. Hmm, you might have it. I'm very visual with stuff so this might sound stupid, but when I was putting on the final mix, It felt like elongated sphere, and I'm guessing you hit the nail on the head. When I got time, I'll turn down some of the releases and see what I get. Now that you say it, I wish I would of returned to the root octave on the arp. Are you a Blink182 fan?

5/5

you've got some interesting sounds there, and some pretty catchy beats too. nice job with the compression, keep up the good work

DrumTranceBreakBeat responds:

Why, thank you.

heartfelt

Great piano playing, it's a shame there is that buzz there on the recording, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment. My only suggestion would be to use a less harsh voice patch at 2:34, it sort of took me by surprise and seemed very rough contrasted with the expressive piano. Other than that, great stuff!

MarkySpark responds:

Hi again, thanks for the review. You can't put great quality recordings on here, just mp3. Save the top quality for serious artists wanting the full session.

very enjoyable

As a pianist myself, I really enjoyed this piece, it's very expressive and melancholy and I much appreciate that. One thing I noticed is that every once and a while, the timing, especially when you were rolling chords, got a little goofy and uneven, although I'm thinking that may have been a problem with quantizing. Other than that little nitpick, I have no complaints, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from you. Keep up the good work!

MarkySpark responds:

Thankyou for your review, I respect what you have said. I am not a great pianist but play with my heart. I could of tweaked this but I left it as spontaneous and I had no idea where I was gonna go with it. It's very hard to do anything original these days :-)
