B-RadGfromOV responds:

thanks man

[Demon, Devil, Doll WIP]

style reminds me of busdriver on this one. The rapping cuts it pretty close, just some little dips 0with the cadence here and there.

pitch is always going to be a bitch to get right, but with the right attitude you could get it. But to give you a small bit of feedback the 1-6 second mark sounded pretty good, but the 7-11 second mark started going flat.

I was pretty retarded in this area too, but what really helped me was when i first attempted to tune a piano (though i mainly focused on guitar after that aha! moment.). generally if you have some sort of instrument that you can practice tuning (really paying attention to how the tone resonates) this can really help you intuit what going flat and sharp is and balance it right on that right note.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks for the feedback brother, good stuff. The rapping and pitch stays cuttin it close... even as I practice. It's a tough fucking track, I don't know why I write stuff I can barely perform :P

[-GM- Gust]

i think it's just some really subtle ambient effect for the background even if it's super super low volume. in the high end maybe? fucking love it though! really creative mix, you could probably notch the piano down a tad to mix in a bit...just blending the piano a bit to the mix, the tones really neat!

yeah i don't think you need any more sub harmonies or shit like that just something like a wind chime or maybe a pad...i leave that to your discretion. awesome jam!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Yeah that's a good idea, some kinda atmospheric rustle of something-or-other in the back would be good. Perhaps a tone-down of the main string-synth-sample when that's in... Oh and compressors too, forgot about those on this one. Thanks for the review and ideas brother

[WizStat - Embryo]

That dureagon sound! love the album title, will tune in!

[-GM-Phos- Reach]

love the chopped licks! making them chops sing! i'd agree with that.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

aww yeah

[-GM- Noodlin]

this is nice! the flow makes me think a mix of mf doom, ras kass and eminem. a neat mix!
sounding clean!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

fanks bruv

[Naco Bueno]

well done! Though do appreciate the variety in here i feel it needs a rapper or something on it doing verses and a chorus. doesn't quite keep my attention but i tend to listen to all that flying lotus/samiyam/brain feeder stuff when it comes to instrumental music so take that with a grain of salt.

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Thank you much Mr. Anjovi!

[Only 16 Bars]

voice is clear, has a bit of the infamous "white boy" accent but sounds smooth enough to overlook. (don't let that worry you out of sleep...just came to my mind for some reason) has a bit of that guru swagger, I'm guessing he's a substantial influence on you.

the flow does waver off a wee bit here and their, gives me more the impression that you haven't memorized or got the best feel for the verse before recording.

Everything here sounds pretty good, but i think what it's lacking is it's own personality. From the lyrics here it's hard to distinguish your personality/ego from any other rapper that writes stuff like this. A suggestion from me would be to really think about whatever concepts/ideas/world issues/personal stuff that really bothers you or interests you and convey some of that into what you write. Make statements here and their that paint a picture in the listeners head and get them wondering "yo!!yo!?!? I wonder why he said that!?!?! He must got some sort of interesting world view or something!!" (just an example, not necessarily that) Just subtly phase your personality in their here and their even if you are rapping a punchline verse, it might be easier to relate to people and hook them in for other tracks that you might have.

Dude.

Thanks for the great feedback. It isnt the first time ive heard I sound white haha. It may be because im from Virginia, and im not a poser. So I dont act black or mexican. Guru is dope but there are bigger influences like Lord Finesse, Eyedea, Sapient, Del, and others. Believe me, im usually on some deep shit.

[-GM- Windfall]

damn! love the odd way the harp blends in with the beat. It seems to totally change the vibe of what the track would be like without them. if that makes sense.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Yeah it was the one little flavor adder that it needed. Getting those all tuned together was a bitch.
