[[COVER] Killer RAT - Corkass (Will You Lick My Ass)]

dude a little delay on the main vocal is all I think this needs really. It's punk. Sounds nice and old school punk too, which I love. <:3 I think some people forget what that original punk sound was like. Bet they never listened to the dead milk men or green jello.

guyfromKillerRAT responds:

Oh for sure man, this was actually a cover of a blues-rock type song my dad and his cousin made about his cousin's brother, they were talkin' some shit in this one lol. I thought it was funny and so I made it punk. Maybe some day I can show you the original one before I covered it

[Killer RAT - My Band Is Garbage (And So Is This Song)]

lol dude this is awesome! XD I want to hear this on the radio.

guyfromKillerRAT responds:

Maybe one day you will!...but if you did I'd have to censor it first. FUCK CENSORSHIP!!!!!!!

[BattlePix]

Epic. Very full sound. I love it. ^_^

[Natural Surround]

Beautiful! Very relaxing and atmospheric. ^_^

VariableGROfficial responds:

Thanks friend (≧▽≦)!

[I Wanna Know You (lover) {First run}]

Very nice. I like the composition. Effects are good. Mix is good except for a brightness that annoys me. Somewhere in between 2k and 10k. I'm guessing maybe a gentle slope 6k notch would help but I'd have to look at an analyzer to be sure. It's late and my head hurts already. Very nice end and fade. I dig it brah.

pitbulljones responds:

i have ear fade myself. I probably should have mixed down tomorrow. Can you dm me the particular bit, i'll use an analyser if I can find it, is in in the delay or the verb? I did run high and low passes and filtered dynamic range. But hey its the first pass, this is why we post ha.

[Love me, rough me up]

ooo very 90s in a good way. This is going to sound so awesome fully produced. <:3

pitbulljones responds:

she goes in 5 days :(

[HomeBound]

A lot of us have been missing out on life lately. : (

You made a perfect summer track though.

Wonderful atmosphere. Makes my hair stand on end but in a good way. ^_^ so smooth and emotional. Love the simple percussion leading into the house beat. Mix is pretty good. Personally I would have mixed the claps and hats just a little softer, maybe -1.5db for the clap and -3db for the hats but don't mind me, I tend to mix darker.

This is a great track. Fantastic pads. What is that vocal patch you are using? Reminds me of the things I loved about the 90s.

VariableGROfficial responds:

use vowels from a cymatics package
(つ ≧ ▽ ≦) つ
there are many free packages that you can use on that page thanks for the tips, percussion always excels in my songs hahaha. Thanks for listening friend, a hug

[Cosmic Park]

Fantastic! Intro is perfect and just long enough. Excellent lead. A little glassy but still round and sweet. Great swaying beat. Gives it a very cool skip and trip feel. This song reminds me of my old neighborhood. ;.; Lots of feels. Love how that lead just crumbles and fades into the distance. So much lofi yes here! <:3

Daaaam

ಥ‿ಥ Thank you very much friend, that you have joined the GR family represents a lot to me! Woooooo thanks bro

[DeDoX Twelve - Never Give Up #Starsofquinni]

Very emotional. Lovely strings. Are they a sample? I like the gradual tempo change. Nice plucky leads. Not a fan of the kick. It comes in very late, doesn't hang out very long and is a bit too hard hitting for ambient. Less compression and volume on it in general would lower it's perceived impact and blend it better with the rest of the tune, IMO.

[Dubstep Test]

It not bad at all but it's not ambient by any stretch. That hard bass and kick your face in snare goes contrary to ambient. It's kinda dub downtempo and it's pretty badass. Just, belongs in a different genre portal is all.
