Thanks! I wholeheartedly agree with you, I really would like a nicer-sounding drum kit with this. As you suggested in the chat, the second jam pack should help. Thanks for the listen! Check out my latest song called Something Tells Me...

Sweet piece... There's a bit of "gratuitous" and repetitive percussion (e.g. the constantly-hit triangle by the second half almost begins to sound like a watch-alarm going off) and the drum loops you created are good, but need a teensy bit more change-up here and there. Maybe lowering the drums slightly might help boost the cool riffs? I really like the smooth jazzy melody and harmonies, the music itself is very nice. The portamento on the "electric guitar" made it sound quite good. This reminds me a bit of a smooth-jazz band years ago in Japan called "Kaze" (The Wind.) Nice nice stuff! Look forward to more, and welcome to Macjams! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Thanks I agree with you completely. The watch alarm sound had been brought to my attention before, and I'll definetly be addressing it. Perhaps simply lowering the volume? As I responded above, I'm not crazy about the drums, but was limited to the standard GB kits. When I get a nicer sounding jam pack to play with, you'll definetly be hearing more variety there. Thanks for the review!! Check out my latest song called Something Tells Me...

This is great I love this song. I wouldnt mind trying to add drums to it. But the song stands very nicely on its own. Faved. |

Welcome to MJs Drew ! Listening to your tune now on my headphones @ home I think there is too much panning at the start (thought I didn't plug in right ;)). The sounds are very nice but a little crowded (IMHO). The drums come in loud and seem to disappear under the lead synth (that is even louder). All this doesn't mean I don't like your song :) Check out my latest song called Rain Rain [vox/ Linda Courtien]

Hmm... hmm... the EP and rythym piano are slightly panned right and left, but the panpots stay put throughout the entire song. I agree with you that the mixing isn't quite there, but that to me seems to be the hardest part and something I'll probably pick up along the way. Thanks for your input!

Well Done All the loops work nicely together. The leads are really hot and have a great buid up. I really liked how you ended the song abruptly like that. Keep Jammin! Check out my latest song called New Mix-Stereo

Thanks! I agree, there could be a little more support on the melody, all I could really think of was adding a few EP riffs here and there. Thanks for the listen! Check out my latest song called Something Tells Me...

Nice job... The only thing I would suggest is giving it a bit more room. By that I mean that it seems at times there is so much going on, electric piano, piano, organ, synth pad, etc. When you break it down towards the middle to just drums, piano and bass, that's when it really hit it for me. When there are fewer instruments to listen to, it's easier to take them all in. But the truth is that it's a great track. I've enjoyed it and the drums only bothered me at the very beginning, the intro fill sounded too computery. But that is a very easy thing to fix. Congratulations on your first GB and MJ track, it is a killer debut!!! I look forward to hearing more from you. Check out my latest song called Deux Cents

Thanks! A large part of my musical influence comes from groups who are absolute masters at blending different instruments together to produce a canvas of perfectly harmonized sound, like a painter's colors. This is something I'm trying to develop as well, sometimes I'm less successfull. There's definetly room to improve, I agree. As far as the drum kits, I'm in full agreement with you. They need to be worked on, and I'd like to use a different kit with it altogether. Thanks for your feedback! Check out my latest song called Something Tells Me...

Fantastic I'm really blown away. Your composition skills are excellent. Great layerng of sounds. A truly great tune. I'm one of the few people I know here who doesn't mind the sound of GB instruments - I'm drawn to the musicality, not the authenticity of the sounds. You did amazing work with the GB stock library. Thanks for that. Check out my latest song called Is this anything

Wow! Thanks, I couldn't have asked for a better reaction. :) I'm really working to try to layer things as best I can, so it's great to hear that it worked for you. Thanks for listening! Check out my latest song called Something Tells Me...

I agree Yep, I agree that the drums need work. As I've said to others, I'm not really happy with the kits that come standard with GB, but I had to use something. I'd love to toy around with the idea of lyrics/vocals, I hadn't really thought of it before... Check out my latest song called Something Tells Me...

Hmm Outside of my usual musical dimension but i enjoyed listening to it. You obviously slaved tirelessly over some of the loops and drums, sounds very clean - reminds me of a track from a 70s movie --- ya know, someone just landed in a new town looking around montage :) Check out my latest song called The RIse is Always Harder than the Fall Pt. 2

Nicely put together with great pacing and production. The GB drums just don't do this justice, but otherwise very nice.
