Hey everybody! Here is a new video and new songs from me.
The video contains 4 songs all in all. Music made on Renoise.

Sounds like it should have sounded originally. I only would lower the transient/impact of the kick.

Some usual stuff in usual style with a usual song structure, but the mix is a tad different than usual:
No native synthesis and plugins used, thatâs what @slujr would probably write at this point.

@toimp, nicely done! that hits the spot. Nothing else to say other than that it sounds nice & tight Surprisingly the track feels longer to me than it actually is, but not in a bad way! Well done indeed!
@slujr You heading off to do an ambient set soon? Or are you just too busy with other stuff to do full tracks for the weekly beats?
@Cursed Pretty much inevitably by now that I like your tracks. Inevitable is not exception. I love the guitar sound youâve got and the mood you created. I feel the drums, especially the hihat/crashes arenât really up to snuff. I think that kind of patter works great when itâs played on an actual drum kit. But with samples it doesnât sound quite right to me.
Lurius is sweet, too! Such nice colours you use.
@oleg71 This is starting to get there. It definitely has gotten some more punch. Your vocals could benefit from more/better processing. Some more compression and also make things duck the other instruments a bit when they are playing. Effectively bringing them a bit more forward. But I think it has definitely has improved a lot.
@troll Nice sounds, a bit short.
@KnownUn Not really my kind of jam but it does have a nice vibe. And I enjoy your bike ride videos. âyour audience must be impressed, or you are wasting your breathâ. That should be the general aim, I think.
@jampsu I like the 2nd part, with the beats, better than the first part. I donât mean to imply that the first half is bad, or anything. Just, well the beat coming in for the next part was a nice surprise. Youâve got some nice, strong sounding production skills. Well Done! The drone footage is neat, btw.
@TNT thatâs a nice track. I like your staccato sounds. The bass feels a tad aggressive maybe. Fits the track but I think it could growl a little bit less.
@predawka Thatâs a surprisingly quiet and introverted track. I like the mood of it. It has a cinematic flavor to it. I could definitely this being used as background music with footage of trains or something. Good stuff!

What a relief, man! 
Which bass exactly? There are several. Everything adds up, and in this one I didnât cut as much lower frequencies as usual to achieve an even fuller sound, especially in terms of the pads. Which means I had to work a little bit different this time. Maybe thatâs why you âfeelâ one bass has a tad too much growl? I donât âfeelâ this, but the first âmedlodiousâ synth feels partally a little soft through laptop speakers when everything plays at the same time (especially the delay), and through normal speakers and monitors it has a constant loudness, regardless whether mono or stereo. Sometimes something is strangely inexplicable (for me).
Haha, thank you, Panos! What about you? You didnât finished your âOh My Little Girlâ track (at least the mix) in the past 8 months, did you? I guess youâre playing with your hardware all the time, similar like @eretsua?
I know itâs possible, but I never expect to hear orchestral tracks like that made in Renoise. Pretty good. I assume youâre using a lot of NI stuff in this one? Btw, my favorite of those songs is the second one starting at 3:44. Nice melodies, could be a movie or videogame score. Nice vocals, too.

I won 1 year free piano lessons so i bought a casio keyboard and i am into that for now. Havent made a track since âOh My Little Girlâ,i am tired making music in the pc so i will be exploring other ways using hardware not much though just an mpc and see how that goes

Oh wow, thank you for such a compliment 
Yes, I mainly used Kontakt libraries. Not though from NI.
I also used some free libraries as well. For the vocals, I used two different vocal libraries, one for the âLaaâ sound and another for the âMmmâ sound, and layered them together. Then, I played them like an instrument.
Actually, the second song was a last-minute decision. Initially, there was another song in its place, but I didnât like it as much. So, I started making this track just before finishing all the editing on the video.
And then I had to cut the video for that part again to fit in the new song.

Happy hardcore acid? I donât know, but itâs a quick little jam with the TD-3 and TD-3-MO.

Cool. But donât forget about Renoise! Thereâs no way to produce the same kind of stuff with a piano or other ârealâ instruments.
For me itâs all the same. NI, Kontakt, whatever. Kontakt is the player by NI, right?
Very well done. I cannot imagine how playing vocal samples like an instrument works (except multi samples, which means every single note was recorded individually), but it turns out quite well. Itâs like something from the Gladiator OST or of course like this (I love that stuff). One day I should try to create something like that, too. I just need to get proper vocal samples and some classical stuff. And the right mood. And of course patience and motivation. Which gets harder and harder from year to year. 
Just âHappy Hardcoreâ. 
I like the first 2 minutes, my feet was tapping while listening. From the third minute on it gets kinda lost imho. It seems you didnât know where exactly you wanna go, there are âAmbient elementsâ (in parallel to that ongoing fast beat) and some crooked notes. I think the base is pretty solid, but it didnât develop consequently. Iâm sure you know what I mean. Btw, that yellow thing with that smiley on it looks very familiar. Thatâs a 200 ⏠303 clone by Behringer, right? I guess many of those who use hardware got this.

Thanks for the listen & the feedback. For the record, most of the time my note choices are 100% intentional. I like the way they rub against each other. So no crooked notes but intentional dissonances.
I agree with the rest of your assessment though. It is lacking focus. Probably because Iâm lacking focus myself.
And yup, that yellow smiley is indeed Behringerâs 303 clone, the TD-3. Thatâs the basic model though which is only 129 euro. The Modded Out version is 229 these days. Thatâs the one to go for, if youâre in the market for one. I guess Behringer listened to Fatboy Slim when he said: âeveryone needs a 303â and decided to make that possible. 
About your growling bass, the one that does a low C around 2:38 in Radiojet.

Yeah, I donât use any other NIâs stuff besides Kontakt. And I must say that Iâm not a huge fan of its interface. Itâs sucks. But there are so many amazingly good libraries and a lot of free ones too. And quality wise they are the best IMO.
One thing that makes Kontakt so good, is that you can add two samples for the same key. Letâs say when sampling a piano, you can put a low-velocity sample and a full-velocity sample to the same key and then blend them together. When playing it on a keyboard with velocity, it sounds and behaves like a real deal. Iâve done some Kontakt instruments by myself. But, itâs not an easy task to do. I sure understand why those libraries a often quite expensive.
And this is free too: https://www.spitfireaudio.com/bbc-symphony-orchestra-discover
And Itâs not a Kontakt instrument btw. Itâs an individual vst.
That cello sound at the beginning of the song: Joiku is from there.
Itâs playing all the time in the song but at the beginning and the end, itâs the only instrument that is playing.
Oh, and yes those vocals are multisamples. But thereâs usually really only one usable octave to play. You can play them off-course from lower or/and higher, but they wonât sound quite natural necessarily. Sometimes they work and sometimes not.
I also have periods when I canât get anything done. No matter how hard I try and then itâs just best to give up for a while. Sometimes I donât make any music for about six months or so. Then some frenzy strikes again and I had to make music every day for many months like a crazyâŚ
What has helped me the most is that I have started making music of other genres, which I have not done before. New instruments and new things to learn. This opens a whole new world of music-making. The first feeling is that I donât know what the hell Iâm doing and how things are meant to be done. But that desire to learn has brought new enthusiasm, at least to me. In a way, it makes you remember what it felt like when you started making music back in the day. You can get those same feelings again sometimes.
