[Our Future Seems Bleak]

Texture is gritty but the production is clean, whole thing sounds seamless. Sounds like hardware synths or you're good at making in the box stuff come to life. Any chance you'll give us a peek behind the curtain?

baryiscool responds:

It's actually just one of the free flstudio vsts,i make my own sound design though!!
ive been thinking about making quick video's explaining how i do things
but never really do them.. i should do em sometime though

[my friend challenged me to make industrial]

Damn, those some nice drums

[Starlight Isn't Bright After All]

A very well spent hour. Good songs don't always take a long time to make.

[Daft Punk - Derezzed (8-bit)]

This intro lives in my head rent free

[Main Theme [Snake-Rotate OST]]

You've gotta hit us with the phonk remix

[Enter The Ether]

why 444?

Flamadour responds:

Good question, it's meant to equal C at 528Hz which is one of the Solfeggio frequencies. Plus I like the slightly sharper sound.

[untitled #1501010]

Tasteful. Just enough tweaking without becoming breakbeat. It's 2AM, the beat has looped like 4 times while I typed this. Thanks, dreams gonna be fuggin tite

[monsterpiece]

@ 1:30, I can't believe that is from '07...

maximusmonk responds:

LOL, I'm not sure what you mean by that. I forgot this track was still on here. My mixing/mastering skills back in 2007 weren't the greatest... I wonder how it would sound if I remixed it now.

[Cheesy Sitcom Music - Study 1]

The internet and movies have ruined me. All I can picture are horribly matched things, Jason running in slow-mo, an entire dinner table crashing to the floor, a dog eating a school project, I've been doing this for 3:30 now... Great song!

ItsBurner responds:

Thank you for the short story xD

[One Cool Cat]

I was a little scared by the waveform, but you've got that distortion domesticated. You've got the whole ensemble falling in line on this one, wild instruments eating out of your hand. Is Maximusmonk a reference to the FL plugin?

maximusmonk responds:

Thanks. I appreciate the descriptive review. Maximusmonk is NOT a reference to the plugin. It's a silly name I came up with many ages ago when I started tinkering with midi software and had no clue what I was doing. I think I'd recently watched Gladiator (hence the Maximus), and I liked the alliteration with Monk, which reflected my theological interests and my affinity for Gregorian Chant. When I got back into music mixing and got serious about it, I decided to resurrect the old name, even though it's probably kinda dumb. :)
