[UnsteadyContemplation]

this sounds alot clearer only a lil bit of fuzz :p what do u use to recorred ?

MikeeUSA responds:

I used A tascam recorder and a crunch pedal but only put the volume up (not the gain).
Also a microphone.

so: guitar -> pedal -> tascam
and: 15 dollar directional microphone shure clone pointed at strings -> tascam.

[The Tundra]

i love the realistic sound of thiskinda sounds like a music box and thats nice n.n wish it looped a tad better tho :p dosent have the fade in the start so the loops kinda awkword :p

CGA-999 responds:

Thanks! I was hoping for the music box effect. It reminds me of my frozen state.

[Shadows]

good intro :p 1 19 i feel like the deeper notes need more of a pluck ish sound and get them a bit shorter
kick sounds nice but wish there was some sort of reverb bass going on here
pretty good need to work on the transitions a bit

Voltus responds:

thank you! I really just cut and shortened this version from a 6 minute long one so some of the transitions might have been compromised due to sloppyness of me. There is actually a little reverb on the kick at that part but it might be too little to hear it.

thanks again!

[Mutation in E]

harps are vary nice and so is the violen
varey lovely :p could use alot of stuff but that would change the feel to much :p

Eagleon responds:

I think minimalism fits really well with celtic harp, moreso I think than full uprights in concert style. Maybe because the character is a little closer to the guzheng. I also wanted to make something that didn't clash hugely with Etherealwinds' VST, which is probably the nicest actual-to-life sample set I have ahold of now. Maybe down the line I'll make this into a full symphonic work, when I have stuff of equal caliber.

[Simlish]

i like the ambient fx but not the melody

Eagleon responds:

Probably the same things I dislike, too. It precedes a bit of a breakdown - I never intended to release this, and I ended up doing so with a giant self-loathing rant attached. Teach me to internet when I'm drunk.

[Take Your Dreams]

i love the rylistic sounds of this and the melodys i feel like i could add alot to this such as piano and more of a flow but this songs prob othe best of urs ive gone threw :p
if u send the flp i can see whats wrong :p

Eagleon responds:

I'm guessing it's just a matter of the equation denormaling it all - 'c' in that equation is the output of the formula itself, so as Songtime increases, it drags through states where the output (three bands in a parametric eq, the first subharmonic in one of the synths, the X parameter of a tweaked Melodic Bandpass Love Philter preset, not to mention all the peak controllers on associated channels being pushed around from the output of these and all of their linked parameters) reaches some sort of unity/feedback state. I think I ended up fixing it by rendering at a slightly lower PPQ. Regardless, it's out of FL sounding the way that I want - with maybe slightly more jagged modulation, but it's a lot easier than the hell I'd have to go through in putting all of this into a Patcher and going full-on debug mode with the formula.

[Just Kidding]

i like some of the bass sounds used in this but could be less glitchy dosent have enough rythem c.c could use a bit more of a drum pattern i like the snare in this :p
nice ambient feel

Eagleon responds:

Glitch is glitchy =P But yeah, I got lazy with the drums, because I don't like using preset patterns - even if they do fit nicely with the song.

[Emerge]

o.o almost hear nothing in this :p i guess i should put my headphones on good for fx in the bg of something :p but feel like its to long for that would make the projects take slightly longer to load :p nice fx s tho

Eagleon responds:

A lot of my stuff is tuned for headphone listening because I mix with phones, no other choice available really. This was actually much quieter to begin with, believe it or not. It's meant to be a background, yes, but not to other music - someone compared it to Silent Hill when I first put it out on FA. I wish I could just transmit stuff to people's ears directly, stereo in good isolation makes for delicious brainfeel =3

[Pure Morning [Placebo] Cover]

:p yup clubs still going n.n
vocs are nice and clear
drums are right on with the original but ided change them better to fit the difrent style
