Gentle, but not:)

Really like the chords, and the lo-fi sounds. The intro is good being drawn out as it is, but perhaps it goes on a bit too long. Again, this trk seems really loud to me, and not because i just listen to ambient music eihter:) It's quite trebley which could be the main problem, those high frquencies really cut through and are a little peaky for my tastes, the whole thing could do with a more ambient gentle mix, perhaps some reverb on the master and bringing down the hi-end would help. It's a nice gentle tune, but I can't really relax to it as it's also quite harsh production wise, perhaps because you've had to submit it at a lower bitrate.
I have heard of parargraphs btw, lol, it's just that i write my reviews as i lisetn through the song, so I tend not to worry about things like that:)
I like it man. Just wish it was all a bit smoother.

alright KB. cheers for bobbing by and reviewing the track. I tend to make really drawn out songs, just due to file limit i usually never post em here. the volume factor, it is loud, i agree, and i know why. I was mixing this at low volume as me flatmate was in bed, no headphoines, so ive been compensating levels and pushing higher than they should be, also ive got this cool mastering limiter called elephant and you can really push your tracks up in level, i think i added 6db to this via that. but i agree with you.

The bitrate is a problem on this track, at 192kbps it sounds a lot clearer i promise, but 4mb limit is a bastard. im not the greatest masterin technician yet, but i'll work on the things you've said. thanks fr the review again mate.

"A really nice peaceful track."

Interesting, pitbulljones. A very slow-going semi-rock piece with a strong percussion line. Not much to say, except that the chimes that go off add a lot to the piece. This song brings on the image of a bus trip through a rural area... during the summer. Cornfields, wheat, grass... all are drenched in a yellow hue. A really nice peaceful track. Good work.

This is a good work

This track has a lot of good ideas, i've liked the sounds and the atmosphere the track tries to create but i found a little bit boring the adding of a bunch of voices without giving the melody a.."path".
Armonic variations, something like that.
There's no -tense- and no -release-, just (cool) voices added one after another.
Well, this is only my opinion! :)

pitbulljones responds:

Hmmmmm, you don't really know my style of music do you? I don't take offence you make a very valid point, but songs don't always need melody to constitute something thats decent. Constructing soundscapes, building up an atmosphere and developing a feeling, an emotion are far more important to me than a melody. I'll leave a singer to do that. Im just a humble musician who plays guitar and dabbles in computer music. but everyone is entitled to an opinion.

thanks for the review.
