I really like all the sounds you chose for this! It progresses at a nice pace and you keep it interesting all the way through. Honestly I don't have much to critique. I might have mixed it a little differently or cut it a little shorter but those are personal preferences more than anything. Nice job!
Reviews for "Contemporary"
I don't need to mention anything about the quality of the piano, however the way you added everything around the piano had me going for the whole piece. There are some things that need to be stitched up that other people have already mentioned so I won't bother. Except the birds, I don't understand the birds chirping... oh wait. After hearing the WUBWUBWUBS it makes sense now.
With all of that aside, what program did you use? Everything sounds really good and clean. All of the sounds are crisp and give my ears all sorts of good feelings. I'm blown away by everything that's playing in my ears.
Live long and prosper fellow earthling!

The chirping birds was a complement to the atmosphere of the image that inspired me to write this track. It added some nice texture to the prelude of the drop.
This song was created using FL Studio 11, and a bunch of sexy VSTs. Maybe I should add that to the description... I've been working with FL for six years or so. I didn't really get into mixing up until a little while ago. Once you get the hang of it, everything will make total sense. I'd recommend using this program since it's an extremely well-developed and versatile software.
By writing those words you have aroused a tingling sensation in my chest, which I assure you is not a symptom of heart disease. I'm super happy to hear that you enjoyed the song.
Thanks for your review, Spade!

What a chill song, especially at the beginning. I will be honest, I skipped farther into the song to skip the long intro, but I believe that on a background playlist or something, the longer intro would not be a problem. I really loved the part when the drums started coming in and the piano started becoming more chopped and less fluent. Overall, a really great calming piece. I also loved the dirty basslines of that drop. It kinda came out of nowhere and I wasn't really expecting it, but it was a pleasant surprise! Keep up the great work!
Yeah this works well for me because I don’t care for Dubstep. Those piano chords sound really interesting, but I’m having a hard time hearing them. I wish it was recorded better. However, it does seem to invoke a bit of nostalgia for me.
You recording it on an iPhone-mic is too funny.
This whole thing stands unique to my ears even though the mix still needs a LOT of work as you already mentioned, but you seem to have a good sense of melody, harmony, arrangement, and structure as it is well constructed.
I really enjoyed this man, the strings were nice and authentic and your rides sound really nice, I wish rather than using a half time dubstep beat you used a driving 2 step beat, throwing in a few amen breaks every now and then just to vary things up. Melodically and structurally it's very interesting and I like how you recorded the piano with an iPhone mic, it gives the piano a low quality warmth which compliments the rest of the mix.
