"Putting Spells, On Your Wife" happens to be one of my favorite Teflon Tomb songs. I caught myself chanting the lyrics on a few occasions before I entered my dark night of the soul. The "Don't Lie To Me" cover is excellent work. Your distortion work makes this a standout track for me and quite possi...

The production is very 'rock' with a lot of midrange +1 My first critical point is the snare being buried in the mix. I can hear that it's a beautiful snare but I personally feel that it needs to shine through the chaos a little more. The breakdown is too much of a breakaway and you're losing me. I...

I don't really analyze these things too much to be honest. A friend of mine is totally in to analyzing his music room and how it responds to frequencies and stuff. I'm quite the opposite. I hate delving into technical stuff. I'm much more into the creative part of music. Writing songs. I just want ...

Ambient field recording and some kind of higher octave motif would do justice. Maybe even some kind of delayed vocal sample. Great starter.

I've been away from the Reason environment for a while and I'm wondering what kind of distortion devices are you using? I know that's a broad question but I've witnessed that people tend to have their go-to devices, especially with one particular project. I'm hearing some kind of modulative distorti...

I'm picking up on the great mixing of delays today, particularly with those delicious percussive rolls, and we're going deeper into the mix on day three. It's easy to disregard the attention to such details when we're looking at genre labels but listening without expectations is key here. I'm not ev...

I didn't expect this to turn into a deeper discussion regarding frequencies and how we perceive them. :D But feel free to discuss it further though if anyone wants to. I'll read it and enjoy it. But for me, I think I've said what I need regarding my own perception of "warmth". Not sure I have much ...

I'm pretty much with Tritone on this one, just take any track or part and filter off the top end >1000 hz or something and it will sound warm, providing you use a decent filter (the one in synapse GQ7 is one I use a lot) I don't feel that warmth is pulling a low pass filter across the mix to the lo...

Thanks for listening and for the compliment! I actually tried to put the bridge right at the end as well as a kind of coda but it felt a bit contrived.

I'm listening with a more analytical ear today and I love the low end of your mix. Great work with those lower frequencies.

Thanks for deeming my song worthy of a remix. It sounds great!

Your songs are worthy of remixes for sure. I know because I have them.

For me, bass and lower midrange gives me a sense of warmth. Anything bright or harsh gives me the opposite feeling. I haven't thought about it before. Maybe I associate warmth with "safe", like being indoors or "home", almost "cosy". Anything bright is more "exciting" and cold, adventurous, like be...

Question: how did you achieve this desired effect of warmth? If I was in the hot seat, and somebody told me they wanted “warmth”, I’d be listening to saturation techniques. I know some filters might have drive/saturation but there is also a matter of not filtering too much. I’m very interested in th...

Definitely going for FM here. Scrolling through some PX7 patches now.

I'm getting more of a muffled vibe rather than what I would call warmth. These are just words though.

Muffled = underwater.

It would be a good backing track for a documentary on a sea anemone.

Those bends are very synthy but great sound with a nice edge. System-8 looks like a lot of fun.

You have a nice vibe going and it was a pleasant listening experience.

The main melodic instrument has a slight twang to it which might sound Japanese but the notation doesn't make me think of Japan.

Hint: Japanese = no minor notes.

Guitars and bass were recorded with DI directly into Reason using Bias FX for the amp sim. Vocals were recorded with an SM7B. Drums were EZ drummer.

Great work! Thanks for sharing.

You have a great minimalistic techno sound. Loving that bass energy.

The percussion is a bit clicky if you know what I mean. Maybe I would try some transient shaping and/or distortion.

This track goes hard indeed and you have a great blend of different synth sounds.

You live in a different world. Nice to hear that organic, jazzy/deep house vibe again. I'm hearing a stronger psychedelic influence too. Life's a trip.

I know you don't need another useless jerk's opinion but this is very impressive. Adding this to my Spotify library.

What exactly was recorded in Reason? How was the instrumentation produced?

Black Hole as in one of my personal favorite reverb effects? The reverb is what really got my attention in this track so that would make sense. Otherworldy vibe. Love solitude.

Excellent production. My favorite part of this project is that suspenseful bridge that happens in a couple of spots.

Great work to all those involved including the commentators. I can feel the creative energy.

I got the 650 this year too and I’m happy. No amp but I feel like max volume is good.
