  1. saw my mix after yours on facebook :P congrats dude!

  2. Hat's track... makes me want to wear a hat! A topper hat, actually.
  3. Just heard the album version of yours, and y'know what, that's a SICK improvement from the initial thing! I love your SFX, arrangement, track, music, blah :D

  4. Love your comment :D

  5. So much Mazedude, yet this one's absent from the list? No way >P
  6. just u wait, mah 100th sub will be da bomb >P

  7. Um, let's see.. Cowabunga! XP (dayumn, I love to start posts here with these fun sentences) I like your minimalistic style, dude! There's not those crazy soundscape effects/fillers, but things still connect with one another well, in my opinion. I can notice the lack of ideas after the middle of this WIP, btw... You could probably make a lead synth change afterwards, have an 'overall frequency fade-in' to the new section or something, dunno Just keep moving forward, I enjoy it ^^
  8. Holy gecko! Impressionistic and impressive, such a Debussy's debut. I love this type of art in music, with stories behind the melodies. May I say, in this song they're pretty much disturbing somehow, coz they don't just pass through the ears. It's such an intimidating, eerie mood, I'd most probably compare it to something like its backstory. I love <3 it, dude! Even though it scares me sometimes
  9. You've been quite busy with VV, haven't you? Makes me wish I had put more of my heart on it too :P

  10. My, looks even better when applied \@/ Fantastic job, you guys! ..and just now I find the official logo to slightly resemble a bat. Heh
  11. So this thing added me on YouTube: http://www.toolroomrecords.co.uk/ http://www.toolroompublishing.com/ And, as I know about to nothing on this subject and couldn't find much in the available threads, thought I'd ask someone in here. This one's mostly looking for electronic music, have a FAQ with explanations on the basics about the music industry, income, royalties and stuff, and also have a signing form with the option of subbing a track through SoundCloud. Mmmmmkay, but what else? What's the cons of signing to a label? Is there a fixed way of writing the blahblahblah to sign up to an independent one? Where does your $$profit$$ go to (as a foreign dude, I'm specially not sure about the whole process)? Also, you think this one's actually worth it? Share your thoughts/opinions/experience/etc.
  12. I'm a fan of Yanni, and this track (plus your soundcloud ones) also turns me into a fan of Yiannis I was all like, playing the conductor in front of the PC while listening to it. Everything's so smooth, HQ, and flows like wind. Only wish it was longer, but still, great job
  13. Listening to the work of others and trying to put into practice what they tell me on the WIP forums and judges panel By the way, I've been studying bass in electronic music... The basic 'oom-oom-oom-oom' and/or '...ooOOOOOOOOooom' sounds so basic now
  14. 2 I'm still trying to stabilize my abilities with those musical paraphernalia. Sometimes I go well, sometimes I don't . But I think there has been progress, specially regarding EQ stuff ^^
  15. Tumb tshalak tchiboom balaktiboom!! Pretty, saucy, sexy percussion there!! Sometimes it reminds me of axé (which I LOVE), and the whole dynamics of the track makes me wonder when my ethno-electronic attempts will get this good... ç_ç One day
  16. http://soundcloud.com/guifrog/winds-of-hope k, complete!
  17. I'm SO loving this one, I had to share it before completion *deleted* In fact, it's an old original (2009) I've been revisiting. Hope you enjoy it too
  18. I like your whole channel! (your nyan cat rendition's unbelievable) This one's a damn enjoyable piece, as well. I just think the first 1:18 min of the track has so much energy in it, I felt that it lacks something after the last flute verse. That said, when the fade-out ending comes, it sounds as if the song was incomplete. But that's it, I guess
  19. I'm quite a fan of tracks like this. It not only makes my legs move, but also my heart (coz there's times when I feel like it doesn't beat at all). It's dancey, but also emotional. And it goes so deep in details that it sounds like I'm diving through a dozen aspects of reality.
  20. I just... had to comment on this. DAMN TAP-DANCING DENDROBATES AZUREUS, what an agonizing experience!
  21. Yesh, let's \@/ You guys are awesome!! http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?rcjdjqdvec92629 Here's what I've done so far: EQ adjustments for fuller soundscape, a lil' bit of work into strings, taken off the echo effect from the bongos, replaced synths from 1:32 and 1:44 with cymbal crash and wind chimes respectively. If glock and guitar don't sound okay for your ears yet, I'll see what I can do later What do you think?
  22. gplus.to/Guifrog No posts yet, gonna add something soon
  23. I always wanted to be a musician of some type. Turns out that I played the drums - then quit. Started with acoustic guitar - quit. Then I went to keyboards - quit, then flute - quit. I mean... Wha? Yet, I wanted to make music! Looks like I'm not the guy who gets along well with actual instruments, and it took some time until I realized that there were many ways of doing fully orchestrated songs with machines. I downloaded FL Studio in 2009, and this is when I first wrote music - a crappy Oil Ocean ReMix that got immediately rejected from OCR . But I'm such a curious and stubborn monkey, I'd learn how to use FL at any cost, and once I managed to understand the basics, Shiva Nataraja came. How this mix turned out to be accepted at my current level, I dunno, but it was SO exciting *-* Then I really felt the weight of still being a newbie. What was EQ? Compression? Dry? Wet? How to humanize? Where to get better samples? Why do the demo projects use so many weird plugins attached to the instruments, and what do they do? The results: since my indian-influenced mix, I can count like... 8 NO's! Precious crits included, along with the help from the WIP forums. Again, I'm a stubborn dude. Still don't feel like taking music classes, and still willing to have more mixes accepted here. This is quite a college for me already!
