[Pitbulljones- In Night (demo)]

diggin the chord progression. strings are a bit abrupt and seem to be off time a little. cool track. very neat synth. : )

pitbulljones responds:

sorry for the late reply. For some reason this didn't pop up. Yea that 'string' is a horn, i have been overzealous on delaying the attack and you are right to point it out.

At least it's in demo. I'm going to refine this soon.

[Pitbulljones- X demo]

Nice synth strings. Good melody. I like the trap but I could have gone for a bit of filter over it, maybe just in the first few seconds to ease it into the track. Also a little later to give a bit of variety. There are some crazy interesting filters out there. Don't by shy. OOO sweet vocals dude. Lovin' this. Really diggin' it. :3

pitbulljones responds:

awwwwww ta mate. I literally made this in 30 mins. on headphones :(.

I'm definitely going to be adding on this, balancing the bass, making it more syncopated. Then there's going to be some crashing singular guitar chords, verb'd up.

I'm glad the vocals stand out, it's a new synth I'm playing with.

cheers mate!

[I Love Lamp. Bumhole. (iphone recording remaster)]

Nice melody. Ironically the room's reverb sounds good on the vocals. The recording doesn't sound bad except for a touch of high frequency "mp3 grunge". Amusing lyrics lol

pitbulljones responds:

I missed this somehow.

It's an iphone recording.

How the hell did you not comment on the lyrics lol.

[LTM² - Miniature Fantasy]

pretty repetitive but the elements are very enjoyable. I like how open the sounds are.

ListenToMyMusic responds:

Thanks, this one took a while to master

[LTM² Potentially Awesome]

I'm listening on garbage speakers but sounds good. Very interesting. I like how it's not just more super formulaic shit. Keep it up.

ListenToMyMusic responds:

Thanks a lot, I do strive to be different than the crowd.

[Here Comes The Pain (phone recording 2010ish)]

I may be mistaken but I think this is great in spite of the recording quality. Could easily be made into a really awesome full tune with the addition of some breakbeat and bass. Even with the squashed response of your phone's mic. in fact I think it could be used to an advantage. Very cool melodies and the vocals are solid good. I like it. : D

pitbulljones responds:

Thank you. Ive tried several times to record this as a studio track. For whatever reason it just doesn't work. I will try again as a live take once i have my band with me. I aint a great singer though

[Saving Our Soul (2000...I was 16) remaster]

Very nice indeed. Good sound on the guitar. Not harsh and annoying like a lot of guitar can be. Vocals are home grown but decent and carry the tune just fine IMO. This track just begs for a kickin bass and trap added to it, really fill out the bottom end. : )

pitbulljones responds:

Why'd you review this? of all my tunes. I was 16, its nearly 20 years ago. I can't even sing! I could potentially redo this. I remember the chords.

[Spline & Sylux - Infinity]

Very happy melodies. I like that. Nice lead. Kind of a mix of several genres, which gives extra points in my book. Not a huge fan of the snare type used in the first minute. I like the open rim shot sound in the second half though. Mix is decent. A little bright for my taste but the bass lines do well keeping themselves known. Good baseline sound. Very warm and full. Good run time. Did not burn out on this before the end, in fact I listened again. Good track.

Spline-1337 responds:

Thank you very much!

[Stratosphere]

Parts of this almost have a jazzy quality to them. Love that pulsating pad you got there. This track's bold in the places it's willing to go.

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Thank you so much my friend! We did use lots of ninth and seventh chords, probably thats where the jazzy feel comes to mind. Thank you for the review :)

[Starling City]

I like. Very nice. Balanced and chill. :3

Syntrus responds:

Thank you it’s nice to see you again.
