[The Archives]

Really liked it a lot, straight up my alley.

Just that the reverb cut itself @ 2:50 makes me think it's all loop based and
makes me a little less impressed. Good song nonetheless.

RichardBatchelor responds:

Thanks man :)

Oh dear, didn't notice that, have to edit that when I get the chance. Thanks for letting me know :)

[The Beach]

Decent song, yet totally not my thing.

Why in the world would you place this dirty house / dancehall crossover in the TECHNO section. People nowadays have no idea what Techno really is it seems. ;p

DJVI responds:

Because there is no such category as dirty house and I wouldn't say this is pure dance either so I decided to put this under techno since most of my songs are techno :p Besides someone always come to complain about the category even if there was a dirty house category or something else

[==(Birdies)==]

Yes.

LOVE IT!

Buoy responds:

love you too

[=Magic=]

I don't want to break it down on you.

I'm sorry to say but ahm...

You just totally stole the melody from DJ Tiesto - Adagio for Strings without giving him any credit or mentioning it. It sounds fine, don't get me wrong, but all the artists ripping melodies nowadays, even in popular mainstream music is giving me a headache.

Don't contribute to the music industry falling apart please, and let your OWN creativity speak!

Daydream-Anatomy responds:

I didn't steal anything, I based most of this song on a midi from dms epic chord progressions vol 1 and heavily edited it, tbh I don't like DJ tiesto.

edit: I just went and listened to it, damn.
My first melody after the piano's pretty much like his main melody.
After realizing this I went and grabbed and midi cuz I thought there's no way they're the exact notes, and they're not:p
Here's the notes when they're at their closest to being simular:
My melody:
A G# A B A B C B A B C D

His:
A G# A B G# A B C A B C B

It's a lot a like, but different enough that I dont' care to credit him or like being compared to him. He didn't influence me here, not on a conscious level anyway.
Other then that melody though I don't hear much simularities, and I only play that melody once before it gets more complex. Sorry but it's a hard pill to swallow, as it completely surprised me.

Thanks for the review.

[To Those Who Listen]

Wuhhh!

This is some awesome IDM.

Amazing sounds. The groove that enters at 0:55 blew my mind, great buildup, strong shifting feel. Loving the overall attention to detail and the volume automation adding to the feel of the groove.

Excellent submission! If only it was a bit longer with a breakdown of some sort, just to drop in even harder, as i feel like you can expand this song with a greater climax.

InvisibleObserver responds:

It will be longer, probably by roughly 2.5minutes, but the session runs soooo slowly that its quite sluggish. I'm probably not going to be able to introduce much more new stuff, but simply rearrange, reuse and modify what I have present in new setups.

AKA I can be lazy with an excuse and make a song structured more like a pop styled song, despite its generally un-pop nature.

As for the smoothness of automation, I've been utilizing mixer routing a lot more recently and its resulting in much more of a smooth, polished sound. Sending channels to a group mixer and automating it is superbly easy for getting things to smoothly weave together.

Thanks Tijnn!
