[Convey - Gloomy]

Rain intro sample, that gets me every time. Always provides a cool cinematic introduction :) Loving the melancholy organ piano. Maybe ease up a little on the cut effects and go for a more flowing piano riff. Again, drums could use a little variety but nothing too drastic. Bass sits nice a subtle. Over all there is some great potential here, just need to tighten it all up and make it more 'complete' i guess. Keep up the good work man. I reckon you'd make a top producer with these kinds of ideas, jut keep at it man.

Convey responds:

Yeah. This song was the result of me fucking around with automation and figuring out how that works while adding some basic drums and bassline (Which I still fucking love the fuck out of). I just...don't know what I can add to it. It's got that basic vibe which I sort of love/hate but any time I try to spice it up it sounds incredibly out of place. I'll figure something out eventually.

[Convey - Home]

Haha! That piano at those claps! Makes me think of Never Ever by All Saints. Listened to it in my headphones like i do with all songs so i can get the full experience you intended. I like it. If you can take this whole arrangement and make it sound more natural and earthy with live instruments it would be even better. Good job man.

Convey responds:

Thank you! Unfortunately live instrumentation is pretty hard for me to come by as I literally know zero musicians right now. :( I take what I can get and arrange with what I can. In this case it was a bunch of soundfonts from that one thread in the audio forum a while ago. I also am getting better at mixing (Although I need to figure out what speakers to get to do an even better job at it) but sadly I hardly have time these days to create new songs as much as I'd like. I definitely need to get on uploading more things here... I updated this song for the last time as I really need to focus on making more shit instead. Take a listen and send me a PM telling me what you think.

Listened to that song you mentioned, holy shit it does sound like it.

[Green and Orange]

Good stuff man, nice basic melody and a smooth, chilled out progression. Some variety in the drums would really make this bad boy pop. Very fun.

steakbbq responds:

Thanks. I started remastering the song, bringing out the piano as cleaner, making it feel more like a performance then so static. Bringing the drums out and opening em up a bit so they don't feel so flat.

Will definitely add in some variation on the drums. Right now I'm having a really hard time finding a good way to do a string hit, nothing is sounding right.

[Typical Biz]

Straight off the bat I get this cool Resident Evil vibe, real spooky. Flow is tight as hell, production sounds great in my headphones. Thumbs up, I dig your stuff man.

BummerCityTown responds:

RE4 tho. Soo good :) Glad you liked it man! Stay tuned

[K~Big Poppa of Time]

Hey this is pretty fun, I bopped along with a shit eating grin on my face. Good stuff man. Dat 49 second mark, thats the intro piano from OoT right? Awesome stuff.

FaeryTaleAdventurer responds:

Thanks for the review! Actually, the piano isn't from the game, it's actually a synth (Boldt Andre piano) that I applied the notes from that intro to. I'm still amazed myself how close it sounds to the one used in OoT!
