my impressions...so for the most part i like 0-0:45 and 2:00-end. the transitions around 2:00 and 3:15 are nice, and i like that you took ended it gradually in a way that really contrasted the beginning.

the remaining part, 0:45-2:00, i'm not crazy about. mostly because you're doing a lot of mixed major/minor. what makes a mashup cool is how disparate tracks fit together harmonically. i feel like if you're going to do the sprawl II vocals over strobe, the sprawl II instrumentals should be gone.

maybe i'm being a bit critical, but you're looking for criticism, right? i think the rhythmic ideas and organization is good, but it's not working harmonically for me.

Don't like it at all... sorry.

Thanks for the feedback. I made two more mashups today. To be honest, that was the first thing i ever recorded with Virtual DJ pro. ITs such a great program and its really easy yet powerful once you get the hang of it. The two I made today are a ton better than the one on youtube now. I'll get uploading now...

Ok. Got my myspace in working order. myspace.com/macaronibeats

Don't ask what the name means, its just something stupid I thought of. I like Wait up the best. For those of you that dont like a lot of electronic music, check out that one.

Thanks!

Nothing like taking one of the best beats of 2010 and speeding it up to an intolerable rate.

I'm sorry, that was a little harsh. Keep working on it, man, it's more than I can do with a mash-up, that's for sure. It was just not a good tempo for me.

Thunderbird91 · #11 01-13-2011, 10:07 PM

It's all good man. It's not for everyone

bump again. I have a lot of new tunes up. Check out OHMYGOD specifically. Or Bibihoes (which is actually an hour and 9 mins long... got a little carried away for a roadtrip mix)

I appreciate you guys checking my stuff out, feedback is always needed.
