Just commenting on the first song for now because I'm tired and have to take a piss. What the fuck is going on here? The loud synth stabs that come in sound like shit and totally out of place, whereas in the actual meat of the track in the background(which sounds like it should be the most interesting part of the song) is really hard to hear clearly, also I can barely hear the drums when the fucking supersaw euro-trashy dance arpeggios come in(wasn't going to comment but i mean really? ) =. The fucked up thing about it is that it seems like some kind of pro-dynamics philosphy with amphasis in traditional mixing until the track actually starts clipping when you bring in the way-too-loud cheesy supersaw arps and shit which then it starts buzzing my speakers, just seems ironic or something compared with the relatively weak drum mix. Also is that really how the track is supposed to end. mind=blown

can't tell if this track is just some brilliant troll or subtle social commentary or is it actually serious? Anyways I'll listen to the rest of the EP tomorrow and let you know what I think about the whole thing.

i must have done something right for you to comment so much... i think you could have left a lot of the derogatory adjectives out of your review but who am i to say, i'm just trying to entertain

To be fair, the mixing is shit (do you mix on headphones?), but the quality of your tracks on the whole has risen exponentially.

i do mix on headphones, but mindfully, and the track in question sounds just as i want it to sound... another track of mine, eh not so much... i'm learning

not so much that i care what you think, but let it be known that trolling is the farthest thing from my mind at all times here, especially in my music... i've seen that you're always very harsh in your reviews whereas your music itself is not all that much better so maybe you need to check yourself... facepalm, really?

If I try to play that first track at a reasonable volume on my speakers, the bass completely ruins the experience. Way too loud IMO.

The second and third tracks are pretty interesting though. I agree with sneaksta's comment.

that's fine; as i said, i like it that way it is... at least you don't have anything more negative than that to say

Well, the part at 3:19 is also quite a nuisance. Doesn't fit in at all, it's too loud, and it kills the mood - but the overpowering bass mix has already killed any mood that track may have anyway, so whatever.

well i can't quite say "thank you for your opinion," but i assure you that i read what you had to say

if anyone else is gonna trouble himself to comment, please understand that we know some people don't like the mix - how about commenting on the other two tracks

You don't have to thank me.

Also, do you actually take any comments or suggestions into account? Seems like the only criticism you've gotten so far would be pretty easy to try (turn the level down, ya know)... but instead you just refuse and act like a smart ass to people who actually take a minute to listen to your 22nd EP in a year.

luke, just take it easy... you don't have to enter my threads, but you do, only to spew hatred... you're acting very ugly

lol

The other 2 tracks are really pretty good. I'm just flabbergasted by the first track, and I can't tell what you are trying to do with it. I listened to it in depth before going to bed trying to make a fair analysis. Just listen to the version you have up there, are you sure you accidentally didn't just bump a fader before rendering it? There is a really interesting part going on in the background that is hard to hear the details of, thats where I think the track has promise. The synth stabs that come in out of nowhere and start clipping just make the track funny. I honestly thought it was probably meant to be a joke track after listening to the other tracks of yours. There's just something really weird going on with the track. I'm not actually TRying to be an ass about it. You suggest that I'm always harsh in my reviews but I tend to defend a lot of people's music that get bad reviews or no reviews on here, and like I said, the other 2 tracks are pretty banging.
