[X3ll3n "Summer Projects" WIPs]

What software/samples did you use in this?

Totally amazing!

X3LL3N responds:

FL Studio and KSHMR saples :D

[Racer]

DOOOOD!! I love those synths! lol.

I love the phrasing you put together!

Catpocalypse responds:

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[Virtue]

This has GREAT dynamics.

The instrumentation needs an upgrade, but the phrasing, the melody and everything was very interesting. I really like this one Blargsy.

RealBlargMaster responds:

Holy moly guacamole that was quick. But yep, I'm terrible at leads and I'll never hide that. As for the general phrasing, I tried to experiment with what modes worked best with what and I'm pleased with how the strings came out over everything else.

[AIM 2020 | Lutt - 2574]

I really loved the phrasing and the rhythm. I liked the recurring theme.

The sidechain was just CRAZY though. lol.

This is really good work Lutt.

I give it high praise.

Edit: I know that EDM and a lot of Hip Hop and Dance music like to use the sidechain to really emphasize the kick, and I can understand using it to a certain extent, but this recording seems to have a bit more than I am used to hearing.

It isn't a bad thing because mixing is an art, and this is your piece of art. There are no WRONG ways in my humble opinion.

Siberg responds:

I don't know if you mean bad or good crazy, but I produce with G633 headphones so sometimes my bass can be off a bit which might explain the crazy sidechain. Thanks anyway, friend. :)

[Country Sample]

I really liked it. The mix was well done, and the guitars were on clique.

Very good start.

But... if I were to say anything to help you improve it, it would be to study the chord structure of country music a bit more.

It focuses more in Major Pentatonics in a 12 bar blues fashion.

Good start though young man!

Don't give up and fly high like a Top Gun brother!

RealBlargMaster responds:

Awww, what nice informative review. Thanks for that.

[State of the Art]

Love it. specially at the ends. ^_^

MetalRenard responds:

Thank you!

[Oh God, Here We Go]

The saxophone was the BESTEST part!

RealBlargMaster responds:

Honestly? This was not supposed to be a quality song. Just you wait until Christmas ;)

[(demo) The Wind and Pagan Space Police]

HEY!!

I wanna let you know something... THIS IS A VERY GOOD IDEA.

And you are not a bad guitarist.

This just needed some more time and effort.

I REALLY like the phrasing, and your guitar tone is really good!

Please keep trying. ^_^ I think the world needs more guitarists like us.

chahleybros responds:

Thanks a ton, I appreciate it. I know I'm getting better, I'm just currently not near the level I need adequately to play this how I want it to sound. As for tone, I heavily fucked with the eq in post to pan low tones outward, highs to the right, and mid tones to the center for the guitars. Without the Eq pan, it sounds like muddy acid.

A little extra bit for you here on twitter cuz the review brightened my day a bit:

And hell ye, more weird guitarists ftw<(O-O<)

[Nat 10]

Without a finger on a guitar? .... amazing. ^_^

RealBlargMaster responds:

Guitar part starts at 0:52 and ends at 1:26

[Sorrowful Dungeon]

I love the arrangement. The phrasing is REALLY sad.

I think it needs a little more structure, and it will be amazing.

RealBlargMaster responds:

I really don't know what to add to this.
Drums would probably ruin the simple effect.
If I could make the song clearer, get rid of the static and the clicking sound of me hitting the keys, it would be almost perfect.
