: Thanks for listening! As always, critiques are welcome and appreciated!
Hello Craig,
since you've asked...Both concepts are pretty nice starting points, and listening to the other finished songs (inspired by ILB) I can see where a full finished sound would sound like, but in all four pieces there's a bit of problem with the way the sound is assembled (mostly the concepts). To me it seems a bit disjointed in places. I'm certain that some of it is on purpose, but at times you have two parts that sound like completely different songs yet there doesn't seem to be enough time to ease the listener into the transition..and then, once there, you switch back to the original theme. Also, and this is a problem with most loop sampled music, the end is always...sudden lol. I know from experience that this is a tricky thing to solve with loops, but it's perhaps the biggest area to pay attention to when assembling loops. You've got great skill at polishing the loop tracks, so that's helpful, knowing that you pay attention to that. All in all, I fully encourage you to keep at it..there's some great stuff there.
