Music to review (will return the favor) as of Oct. 11th!

[aaron aardvark]

I put two songs in my music website: "The Creation" is the song on top (mostly synths, though it has E-Bow guitar towards the beginning), and "Half Truth 2" (has more guitar) is the next song down. Please tell me how you like the music and how it can be improved, and I can return the favor if you wish (leave me a link). Here is my link:

The Creation. Nice chords/harmonic structure. I love the e-bow lead guitar (perhaps it could be a bit louder). the rest of it sounds good.
Half Truth. Rawk!! \m/ Vocals could be a bit clearer. I know when I sing reverb is good but maybe reduce it. Can you automate the reverb so it is less when you are not holding a note and longer when you do, that would help? Lead synths are cool.
Well done!

Allomerus,
Thank you for listening and replying, I appreciate it! I will now seek out your music.

Hey aaron I really like the guitar build in The Creation. The whole intro is excellently done. Rest of the track = the same. Nicely flowing with cool vocals (again). I will assume you are a Brit and that you are well aware of the band that everybody loves to hate. You know, acid, synths, rock, nudity, strobes and sci-fi

Not looking for a return review. Just enjoying your thing.

I like both of these. Half Truth is my fav. I love the drum feel and how the bass sounds on that one. Not sure why but I can't help but to focus on bass in every track first thing. Probably because it is something I am always battling to get sounding good. I love hearing how others add that crucial element to their mixes. Good stuff.

Creation
Like the guitar opening.
0:55 guitar ends somewhat abruptly.
Vocals are good as usual.
Interesting chord progression.
Is it a philosophical piece?

Half Truth
Guitar intro is OK, but slightly muddy. Synth coming in is good.
Guitar solo , yeah !
good job, sir, well done.

Jeffguitars,
Thank you for checking out my music and replying, I appreciate it! I'm no expert with EQ, but sometimes you have to "carve out" a space for the bass. I often use a high pass filter (EQ) to take away most of the sound below 100 Hz on guitar to leave space for the bass. I will seek out your music.

Bansaw,
Thank you for listening and commenting, I appreciate it! The guitar (on "The Creation") ending abruptly was my attempt at being dramatic. Is "The Creation" a philosophical piece? Well it involves the creation of the universe. Where did it come from? Did it explode out of nothing? It seems to have amazing order if it came about from a massive explosion. What else can you blow up that has such order after it is blown up? Was it created by God? Did man randomly evolve from the primordial ooze, or come about somehow differently? Did we exist in some form before the universe was even formed? I will now check out your music.

I liked both tunes, kind of a gary numan thing goin on. woulda liked the ebow to come back at the end of creation cause it was so cool. half truth rocked, very nice lead work and vocal. not that great at mixing myself so I rarely comment on that part, sounded good to me, generally if I like the sounds and arrangement the mix is secondary
