Thanks!

Sounds good man, thanks for putting it up!

[Close That Door instrumenal]

YoYoYo

Hey-o,

I don't have time to record something new right now, but go look through my audio for one of my latest tracks called "Big Red - Mr Jones A Cappella". You could put that track over the beat! Interested? If you do, just credit "Big Red".

Peace,
Big Red

Joonho responds:

Sure, thanks.

Absolutely. Lets make it a good one

[Memoirs of a Shelterd Schizo]

Good stuff

You've got a sick flow and tell a story well. I think the recording that comes in kinda gets in the way of the story for me, it's a bit too long and verbose. Also, the ending is vague, I'm not totally sure what happened. Regardless, a very solid and well produced track. You've got talent.

traumatik1 responds:

its basically a downwards progression of schizophrenia in a kid who mentally crumbled under his depression..idk it jus came to me..hella weird but all ur tracks r dope as fuck..if i can clean up my flo a bit id like to collab, lemme kno ~1~

[HW - Envy]

Noice

For some reason I kept hearing a horse trot. This sounds really good man. You never cease to amaze :)

haywirehaywire responds:

thanks a lot man, cant wait for your hip-hop competition.

[Best McRapper]

Tight flow once again

You've got good flow, rythm, delivery, and a lot of snappy lines in this one. I feel like you've found a good sound and are putting thought into what you write, which is wicked. So, good job on another track!

Now some critical thoughts. The lines stand alone very well, but I couldn't tie it all together and get what you're trying to say overall. I think the song would stand stronger if you gave it some structure. That doesn't mean add a chorus or anything else specific, just be aware of where it starts, where it ends, and how it gets there. As well, some distinct dynamics would be nice: highs and lows in energy, changes in the pace of the flow, etc.

Yup. As always with my criticism, take it and use it or call me a fool, either is cool with me, haha. Keep dropping these, it's always a pleasure to listen.

Gasmasq responds:

I dig what you're sayin. This was pretty much just an artist summary track, kinda going back to my roots, hence the lack of structure. Check out the track I just posted, "Happy Goes Lucky" if you're lookin for MASSIVE amounts of concise 'beginning, middle, end' format lol.

Thanks for the insightful review, tingtonger. Stay tuned!

[HW - Haywyre 200]

Werd

Good shit man, here's to another 200!

haywirehaywire responds:

thanks bro.

[FF | Laura]

Yay

It sounds good at 0:40 when the sample goes into the underwater feel. I feel like some sporadic solo brass samples would sound good with this beat.

freddyfinger responds:

that would sound pretty tight, if i work on this again i'll have to try that out, thanks

[7 and a Half of ROCK]

Sounds like an old green day song

I think you've put together something solid here. It sounds good, and you're definitly getting good at putting Fruity Loops compositions together. There are a few things that bugged me though:
-I can't really hear the base drum (try EQing the different drum parts seperately and also EQing your guitar).
-I don't get a general sense of the dynamics, ie the song doesn't build or fall in energy, it just kinda stays in the same relative place after the guitar comes in
-add more instruments!!

For your first forray into Fruity Loops it is definitly a solid foray, so keep on working at it! I also really dig composing some of the song in Fruity loops and then playing a real guitar over it, it's a cool way to do things. Good job senor!

thecoreman responds:

Thanks mate. I hate the Green Day comparison (that's me, sorry) but besides that you pretty much nailed it. See, the problam is, I'm running the demo version. So no save feature = no time to write/make things better. Still looking for a way to pirate my version, but whatever.

I'll look into the EQing thing, don't know how to do that yet. I'll try it though. About the energy thing - correct, but with an 8 hour time limit, it's pretty tough to write a song :P

Thanks a lot, mate.
