Catching this now, going to listen sometime tomorrow and report back.

Very excited, feels like it's been a whole since hearing any of your music!

Dude, thanks, it seriously makes my day to hear that anyone remembers anything about me. All technical criticisms, personal opinions, and the entire gray area in between is appreciated.

Maybe you've listened to the first one, maybe even the second, but no one's heard any of the others. And no one cares, which is truly a gift: no deadlines, no contracts, no coworkers.

It would be cool to have a normal job again so that I could keep doing this.

One thing I really like about most of these snippets is none of the sections go on for too long, you're introducing new elements and removing elements at a good pace. I'm not sure how to describe this properly, but the drums sound "thin" to me on just about every track but maybe that's what I'm using to listen. Could use more body on the kick and snare in particular.

These demos sound like something OftenBen would like.

But seriously, super funky stuff. I love the second snippet and the intro to the fourth the best. Keep up the good work! Post full tracks!

HAhahahh, goddamn, emoticon city! Move over, Mandarin.

Thanks man. I will definitely be doing more of this in the future. :)

Ahhhh yessss! Thank you for the feedback.

rezzej (or another hubskier) has previously drawn attention to my drum samples lacking fullness, I definitely have some room for improvement in that department. Googled to find the thread, no success, sorry.

This will be a lifelong hobby. Do you play any instruments?
