[Sting - Over]

I believe Bill means...

The little computer arpeggio starting at 44 secs with the echo on it. And I agree, it's a bit too low in tone for this track, really muddies up the low mids. But the idea was good for a change of pace in that section, maybe try to find a sound with a bit less low and bit more high that floats through the high mids instead. Good track overall though.

Peace

Holy shit, I haven't heard from you in a minute. I'll have a listen to it later when I get home.

EDIT: I see now what you are talking about. Not sure how I missed it in Bill's review.

[{l} Reality Check]

Remember kids...

He could be poppin' his hole right now.

Good track, far better lyricism and recording quality than the competition...if you can call him that. Funny shit how he's so secretive about his whereabouts, his face, his everything but he cries himself into a blind rage when someone tells him he won't find them. In fact, isn't their a video of him extolling the virtues of being transparent and giving out your address and how Spawn was such a weakling for not doing the aforementioned? Too bad he is now saying "You're not gonna find me".

And again, he could be poppin' his hole right now.

Peace

[Wyze ft IS, IF - Boom]

Turn down the chorus adlibs

They are a little too loud. Maybe double record, pan hard right, hard left with a bit of reverb and lower volume to push them back in the mix. Otherwise, good re-mix from what I heard of this way back. Great flow, great pacing, timing and delivery. This was a great track from the three of you.

Peace

Blasphem-E responds:

Definitely will be doing that in the next couple of days. Thanks dude

[Wyze - Don't be fake(Dear Kane]

As I said when you first showed this off...

Much improved over the last year are you, sir. And this beat is great, your bro has got some def. potential and I am very impressed with the screwed vocals on the hook. And that's saying something since I am from the home state of Screwed up musik.

Great lyrics on this one and it sounds great with that extra layer of vocal FX underneath, good job.

Peace

Blasphem-E responds:

Thanks dude. happy new year!

[Sting - Time Marches On]

That top synth isn't in the way

This version would work better with a rapper, IMO, than the other version for the simple fact that the other one has no real hook underlying whatever vocals get put into it. It's like an empty battle track that is meant to never have a life of it's own, whereas this version breathes and has it's own life because of the synths. Personally, though these synths are a bit weak, good choices on sounds that compliment one another, especially these drums. With a better string pad and bass stab I think this one woulda been a great track.

Peace

Blasphem-E responds:

Ya, I had a couple of comments from people about the main synth, hence why both versions are there. But ya, I need to find better sounds.

[Sting - Rockets]

Drums need more snap

That snare is way too weak and the kick needs more underneath it, layer a heavier bassy kick below it to strengthen it against the bass overtone instruments you're using. A little bit of creative EQ on all of the instruments to give them some breathing room would make this one snap out there and demand to be listened to. Maybe slap a gate on the guitar so it's tail isn't quite as long, with an LFO before that to give the tail some vibrato right before dying off.

Peace

Blasphem-E responds:

I'll try that stuff out for sure man. Thanks

[Sting - Resume]

Intro = bad

I dislike greatly that first instrument and all that it represents. I love the bass saws, drums, and overall mixing, though that cymbal gets a bit repetitive, maybe kill it for most of the verse and leave it at every 4 bars or so. Let it come back for the hook every 2 bars. Love that hook. On the verse/hook changeup, think about changing the drums up a bit for the verse, maybe something very minor like taking doubletime hats in the hook to split the listeners attention between those cymbals and a double time hat, make it really sound powerful. Altogether, you've come a long way my friend.

Blasphem-E responds:

Thanks dude. I mean really. Every review you leave gives a lot to think on and really helps me step my game up.

[13 Rise and Fall (Demo)]

Good drums

A bit of distortion though from the mids and some muddiness in the the same mid zones. I'd come back at this from a mixing perspective, maybe tone down the compression a bit and think of throwing a brickwall on the master to tame down some of the issues a bit, maybe mix to -1 dB rather than pushing so close to 0.

Peace
