Yo!


Fun and games playing with new synthboks, new keys, testing scaling on cubase! It's nice.


Quick, easy, light and breezy. Horns, keys, strings, bass and drums. Cranked the post pass. Plaudits? Suspect zero.


Have fun

That bass loop and piano part around the middle are interesting!

It seems like you were inspired to do upbeat and simply happy sounding pieces lately. I am not sure if I would personally have done the percussion a bit louder, I might be wrong but I think they might be a bit too soft. I can imagine this as an intro to some kind of adventure or journey in medieval times, if you get what I mean. This is most likely due to the orchestral instruments in the beginning and something in the rhythm.

All in all a nice piece! :)

Getting to learn new software can be difficult so it's cool that you are getting a hang of how Cubase works!

Yo! Yea, definitely been more upbeat lately, but don't you worry, I will have some shoe gaze, ambient hellscape concocted soon enough ha. I can see why you may prefer a louder kit, to be honest, if I did a tiny wider mix and rolled some reverb off it would likely punch through better. I like the imagery you have. I do try to create atmosphere, i never know where I land.

ty bro.

Hey hey hey, front paged. Very nice mah man! Ooo swirly and creamy textures. Melodies are a little generic but remind me of good old memories, so I like it. Very accessible. Horns can be hard to work with. A hit or miss instrument. These sound very nice though. Great bass sound. Clean but full. Every element is very well behaved yet tonally rich. I might be missing something but I can’t really think of anything to complain about, other than why are you not making more money off of this stuff. Listened on speakers, forgiving phones and expensive not forgiving phones, all sound great. It’s a midrange heavy piece for sure but it’s well controlled. Maybe the piano gets a little overwhelmed by the mix when full orchestration comes in. Don’t know what you have going for reverbs but at the end of the tune, there's a lovely long tail, which is great. It makes me ask though, is that long verb running throughout the dense sections where all instruments are playing at once? If so, you might be able to make a little more room for the piano by automating the verb's wet channel in those areas. Either bringing the volume down or automating an EQ to scoop or low shelf the verb. Just a thought. Wish I could get all my mid heavy pieces to behave this well lol. I really liked this one.

Cheers. : )

pitbulljones responds:

Yes bro! Thank you for the extensive review :)

Humbly agree on the genericness and lack of progression. It's no excuse but this was a fuckaround that kinda gelled quickly, so I thought I would commit it. HORNS ARE BASTARDS. Allday, everyday and twice on Sundays. And it is for that very reason I use them as much as possible. I'd like to think I know my way through a section ha.

Bass is me, finally own a bass after years of winging a 6 string via octave and eq. It makes such a difference to music, having something fill out the rhythm section. It will be on everything going forward.

If you knew why I can't make money from music you would be a rich man too. I guess a combination of style/lack of, infrequency of posting and no longer going all out in promoting stuff. I barely comment here, let alone investing time in promo kits, blog placement, portfolio whoring. There's many better than I, such as yourself, it's nice to be seen from time to time.

Oh yeah there's big reverbs, an addiction to valhalla is my bane. I thinned the mix as best I could, though all that mid range creates a hard to work mix.

I have a new midi controller which maps in cubase, i'm gonna be doing some serious automation passes and dynamic mixing which will only improve.

Love you bro, keep being awesome
