Reviews for "Reflections >Remaster<"

Amazing!

I love how grindy this is, and melodic all at once. The tribal sounding percussion and the organ at the beginning is sooo epic! and then the break into the choir, OMG!!!!

I'd love to try my hand at this, but I have no clue where to start, not that I'm not familliar with FL but this stuff is ungodly.

I give you mad credit for this dude, hope to hear more!

mr-jazzman responds:

Hey man, thanks for the review! You will hear more from me in the future! =)

come cool stuff

most of it sounds like robot cock, ear rape. the synths in the background do some cool chord buildup shit and i really like that, but the robot rape noises take away from a lot of it for me.

mr-jazzman responds:

Thank you. You just experienced dubstep! =)

Defo an improvement

but as stated below it gives too much piercing sounds at time. , and is lacking alot of low subs now. imo you still have a long way clearing this up all the way, but i'd go for it as the structure of the song and the concept is very very good! I especially liked the 2nd bass part with the more heavy, non 'talking' wobble, which went deep and hard hitting :)

So all together a brilliant piece of work, it just needs that extra refinement and here and there some db's down ;)

Glad to see actual good dubstep on NG though, your avarage NG dubstep producer just makes kick snare wobble wobble :)

mr-jazzman responds:

Thanks for your review Reignee! This is probably the most important review that has come my way. You see, you and I are experiencing two different songs at the moment. On my end, there was absolutely plenty of sub bass (part of the mastering job I did involved adding an extra layer of sub bass underneath), so I know for a fact that there is enough...it's just that there might be TOO much sub bass now. I played this version in my car, and the sub was so insanely powerful that it almost detracted from the rest of the song.

What I think is happening is that I'm mastering it wrong based on my headphones, which have a huge bass response. I've been going off of the feeling of the bass in my headphones -- which sounds absolutely orgasmic on my end, but cannot match up to people that are listening through a flat EQ setting. The song itself is cleaned up quite a bit, that much I do know; but I feel like now I'm gonna have to start doing my mastering through the flattest headphones I can possibly find, because I'm adding too much bass (strangely =P). Of course, on your end, this makes it seem like there isn't ENOUGH bass, because you're hearing possible noise cancellation due to the extremely low frequencies that resonate throughout the song.

So, in essence, this single review is changing the way I will hear my music. I need to get some new headphones and stop listening to it bass-biased (at least in production...because I love mah bass! ;) ). I just think it's a strange dynamic that an uber-present sub on my end would seem weak through your stereo! =P

And I agree completely with everything you said. My mastering skills have come a long way since I actually went ahead and produced this song, and there were some things that I tried to correct (but I couldn't correct all the way because then it would sacrifice the integrity of the song). So, please go ahead and listen to some of my stuff coming out in the future if you want to get a good taste of some of the newer sound that I've got coming -- or, you could listen to my drumstep remix of "Hell Yes," which also hits extremely heavily in the sub, so I won't be surprised if you think it's weak there, too. =P

Thanks again Reignee! I will try to address this problem in the future -- something that is minor IMO (not as big as you think), but absolutely necessary for producing great music! =D

i very rarely give 10's!

this was badass! reminded me of boregore - relaxation dub (the bass noize) but nevertheless i enjoyed it. moar.

p.s. check out my industrial-ish dub track *digga digga* - not as varied as yours but im all for experimental dub!

mr-jazzman responds:

Thank you very much sir for your generous 10! I've actually heard your song, but I have yet to drop you a review...no worries man, I'll hit you up as soon as I can!

OH MAH GAWD YES

I thought the first "Reflections" was amazing...but this...this...*faints*

Lol. But seriously, this is one of the best dubstep songs I have ever heard, and if not that, THE BEST. I'm loving that sub bass :D

Keep on keeping on man. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you make millions one day because of your epic musical talent. :D

mr-jazzman responds:

Haha thanks Uncle for the heartfelt review! =) I'd love to make millions one day doing this, but I have a feeling it's a far cry. I don't really care though; I'm gonna keep trying to do it! I have big dreams -- the only kind worth having! =D
