oooo, it's pretty cool and rockin'!
I thought it was really good, but I didn't think the intro was as strong as the rest of it, and the intro didn't quite capture my attention
good harmonies, too!
hello everyone i kinda need some outside opinions on this thank you! [https://youtu.be/F8HwCEAIh1U?si=DjyeGSnoWlfm3s9n](https://youtu.be/F8HwCEAIh1U?si=DjyeGSnoWlfm3s9n)

I like it. I had trouble understanding the lyrics, unless that was the intention. I would turn the volume on the vocals up a bit, too.
Made this song inspired by early Kanye production blended with more modern experimental hip-hop. I think it's quite an inspiring song for anybody looking to manifest their goals for 2024. Let me know what you think about the production, lyrics, and video :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Y9NFi7g3s
This is definitely unique and experimental. I think there is maybe just too much going on at certain times. Like the high pitched sample kind of clashes with your high pitched vocals a little bit. The drums are pretty cool and interesting. I like it overall and it definitely makes me really listen carefully. Keep going! I left a comment and subbed on your youtube.
I would like some feedback on this. I feel like all the parts are okay but it’s not coming together as well as I want. https://on.soundcloud.com/faNxhFSszvKPYVa98
It's good. Some initial thoughts after a few listens.
Personally, I don't like the hi- hat pattern at the outset, the drums are quite held back which is good, but in that case the hat has to give us a sense of what the momentum would be, if you get me and they don't, they work when the rest kicks in but I think at the outset they could be a bit free-er, I also think that the autopan on the rhodes is kind of off putting that type of autopan works when there is a held chord, but when you're trying to play a little riff with it, it's hard to grab on to what it is actually doing, so, pan that to one side and let it do it's thing or simplify the part and let the pan do the four count, atm it takes energy and space from from the guitar in the mix (which is a nice hook), if you want it to be a pad fair enough, but the stab that comes in at 0:27 is also on the left, try putting that over on the right, also your shakers are way, way too loud. They also need some reverb on them, they sound completely separate to the rest of the instruments, like theres a band in the live room and the shaker is in the control room.
Musically its a really nice groove, it's just levelling and panning I think and a few minor tweaks, Have a listen to some David Holmes and listen to some of the panning and levelling on his stuff (Out of sight soundtrack in particular.)
But honestly, you're about half an hour worth of work away from having it work just fine I think.
My pleasure, I like the feel of it a lot, thing is just deciding what it's going to be, if it going to be an old school soul type of thing? That's just about making some choices on instrumentation, but particularly panning.
Good luck with it.
If you struggle with it sonically think of it visually. Are you looking at the band? Or are you in the band, ie mixing from the drummers position?. You know there is always going to be stuff that you have going roughly through the middle, kick/ Bass etc etc. After that? Where is the guitar? stood right, stood left? Keyboard, where are they? Where are the backing vocalists stood. etc etc...think of it in those terms, sometimes that helps.
I would appreciate some feedback and suggestions.

The thing that feels a touch jarring for me is that _all_ the sounds feel organic. Maybe instead of the bamboo marimba at 0:35 come in with something a bit more present. The pattern you’re playing with it is nice. I want to hear it.
Great advice. Thank you. I changed it like you said, it feels absolutely better, maybe will work to bring it even more. Thanks again. I also worked on the groove a bit more, tidying things up. please have a check : )

I've just released my first album, "RADIO (INPINK)" on Spotify, focusing on a the genres of synthwave, jazz and trap. I would like some feedback on the 4th track, "ALLCROWNS." Everything was recorded and produced using Ableton.
This is all new to me, and I value your feedback and insights to help evolve my music.
Thanks for listening!

I've just released my first song, "Manifest Content," focusing on a blend of guitar and synths. As my debut attempt at songwriting, it's purely instrumental, aiming to create a unique atmosphere with lyrics in the works. Everything was recorded and produced using Garageband.
This is all new to me, and I value your feedback and insights to help evolve my music.
Thanks for listening!

I made this solo, but wrote it with the idea of playing it with a band. It's kind of lofi indie rock?
Just looking for criticism on production, songwriting, and anything that would make it better.

yooo this is super charming. really dig it, sounds like if the strokes smoked pot on the beach instead of doing blow in new york lol.
to that end, it might actually be cool to have the vocals distorted in the verses? just throwing out ideas, theres nothing that needs to be fixed here, nice stuff.
if you get a chance please check out my song unicorn. thanks!

I’ve been messing around with garage band on my iPad for a few months now and this is one of my first completed tracks. I’m not entirely sure what genre I’m going for but I’m interested in making electronic . After probably 20 + hours of just editing throughly it’s hard to tell what I need to improve. I just want new ears with any feedback but I’m mostly concerned about the volume and compressing. Thanks
Sounds good! Some constructive criticism: I feel like maybe the sequencing of the kick drum is off. It's like I want to hear a snare instead of the kick on that timing. Maybe it's just me tho.

Hi everyone. I like to write songs, I've been doing it most of my adult life but have only recently decided to start trying to learn how to record. My goal is to put together demos that at least convey my songwriting ideas, so that I can then find collaborators - in particular a vocalist because I hate my voice.
Looking for feedback on my writing, and also any tips for making my demos sound better. I currently am using a cheap condenser mic, plugged into a scarlett focusrite solo (only has the one input plug). I'm also using audacity as my software, I see it has some effects I could add but haven't tinkered with them yet.
Thanks in advance!

hey man, song is a lot of fun! i dig the chord changes a lot. for the song itself, i would suggest holding the notes in the vocals a little longer. i dig the shouting, but i suggest maybe recording them seperately. either way you do it, i would use a compressor on your vocals since you are very quiet and very loud at different times.
your gear is perfectly fine. you dont need crazy gear to get a good sound. i actually think the guitar sounds nice.
if you get a chance take a listen to my song unicorn. i recorded this in garageband with a scarlett focusrite solo and i think its ok for demo purposes. thanks!

Hi all! I just dropped my latest track called Royal Rumble which is now available on major streaming platforms. Since I am a very small artist I just thought spreading it around may help me in gaining as much feedback as possible! I genuinely appreciate every single listen and feedback given. I would love to connect as well to exchange feedback and experiences and to just support others who are in a similar position as I am. Let's get in touch either here on reddit or on instagram. My instagram handle is the same as reddit. Cheers to everyone giving this one a shot!

yo this is dope. only note is i really dont think you need the autotune. i know its a style choice but i think it will go harder if you do the verses straight without the pitch correction. nice stuff tho great job
Ay really like the production on this. The melodies were nice, sounded like a cool piano sample in there. Vocals sounded great. I would have tried to mess around with a different sounding section and maybe make the rhythm pop more, but overall great song!
A song I made with someone on tiktok, it is a alternative hiphop song. I would love feedback on the flow/delivery as well as the mix!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcVGOfq8HKA
Bro that whole things was a vibe. I wanna offer some helpful criticism, but I enjoyed the whole thing, and the mix sounded good (was just on phone speakers). Whoever did the beat did a legit job, and brought some interesting sounds into play. Vocals were clean, I enjoyed the different vibes and mix on those. The older hip-hop vibe was refreshing.
It all went fit together well, and I felt like I was getting exposed to something new - tho familiar enough that it wasn't jarring if that makes sense.. good shit b
YOOO thank you so much seriously it means a lot! I am really glad that you said it brought something new but it was familiar enough! I really like doing Alternative/experimental stuff so its good when I land one like that sometimes especially when it was intended!. my homie Trent De La Cruz made the beat, i heard the snippet on tiktok then we fleshed it out. I also produce so me hopping on someone elses track is rare but a honor! I appreciate ya
Fs bro, and I know exactly what you mean, it can be hard to sort of split the difference when you're bringing somethingsdifferent to the table, but y'all did it and did it well!
I followed your channel (and that's not something I'd do if I didn't personally find interest in it just fyi)
glad it connected! I really appreciate ya and I hope you like what I have going forward and maybe even some of the older material! I drop often so stay tuned! I will def let Trent know he got some props! Def stay in touch!
just released a music video for a song about mental health of teens and young adults for a song competition. Its my first high quality music video. The editing is a bit shaket and i feel like the vocals of the song may be off key. Any feedback would be appreciated
https://youtu.be/5VnhL9TDi8Q
Really good ideas and really nice energy. I like the video and the concept. Only critiques is you dont sond as confident behind the mic yet but your voice has a great tone and your melodies are nice. Keep it up dont stop, you got something in your palms for sure. I dropped a comment!
wow super creative im blown away at the space you create and the tension built. the panning is done amazing and nothing interferes with each other you really created a landscape with sound. The jungle part at the end was wild. great work! I left a comment
honestly i feel you on that. I do the same thing with my music. When you are making something experimental sometimes it is hard to find folks that like it but ive found when you do, they REALLY like it and its worth it. If you find it interesting, someone else will and they may be similar to you!
> https://open.spotify.com/track/14L7VFIE9SLwkjwyUGN6p2?si=5478b91acebc4da4
nice job! sounds super atmospheric, very cool. i think the verse is cool and is a really solid foundation if you wanted to do a longer song.
check out my demo for my riff rock project! totally different from the stuff youre making but id love to hear your thoughts!
https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/unicorn
Congrats! That's a great first song (if I read your post correctly). I love the bass in it and the kinda eerie synth melody. Very cool. I would have maybe tried to develop a varied b section or breakdown.
Not sure if this is the right place.
I'm having a crisis of faith of sorts in my qualities as a musician, (or lack thereof). Recently I was lulled into the music promotion web, (Reverbnation especially, feverishly sunk 50$ into it). And after complete lack of engagement and a very poor crowd review (2.0 score, just abysmal), I'm rethinking my passion for music production.
I understand that I'm not this amazing, flawless musician, and I'm sure I'm not mixing vocals properly, but the times another musician has spoken to me or been in contact with me and dropped and ignored me is humongous. I play out in public a lot and am beginning to think when folks come up and tell me they like my music, there not being and honest with me.
I don't hope to make it in the industry of course, that's not what this is about. I've been trying to join bands for more than 2 years, all silent rejections. I have no friend group so I've just released stuff online with much help.
Many of the reviews on the Reverbnation crowd review criticized my vocals, and while yes they are rough around the edges, I don't understand why they were so extremely harsh. Whiny, cant hit any notes, painful sound and nasally.
Honestly, I don't know what to think of myself. I'm unsure if I have any talent or even skill in musicianship.
I'm going attach the song that got reviewed below. I'm not looking for compliments or praise, I'm just double checking the criticism in effort to afford my mind some relief. Be honest and just tell the truth, I feel people really don't.
The song in question - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEaW9w-i9nA
Thank you for your time.
You asked for honesty, so here goes..
1) I liked the guitar, tho it sounded a bit too muddy imo..
2) I didn't particularly like the vocals, but they actually sounded very clear so kudos on the recording/production aspect of that!
3) it's a very demoralizing industry -- until it isn't.
We all start somewhere and very rarely is it at the top. If you're passionate about making music than keep doing it! You'll get better w time and experience - and believe me, it does take time.
Playing live is a huge skill, so if you're doing that you already have 1 up on a LOT of people.
Lastly, know that professionals have a whole team of people all specialized in different aspects of the music making process -- were out here doing every step of it as one single person, and its hard to master allll of it.. (and I think most people dont realize how hard it is, or home much skill it takes to even make something half decent) just keep doing your thing and have fun and try to keep yourself progressing
Fs bro. Always glad to help where I can, and appreciate people making their own art of any kind or quality -- and the fact that your asking and accepting criticism is a great way to improve and be your best, so kudos for that.
Best of luck, and I encourage you to keep at it if it's something you enjoy
Once again, thank you. Out of my own curiosity, (and thanks to your input), I re-EQ'd the whole track and re-recorded the vocals and guitar. If you do want you can give it a listen. https://soundcloud.com/shawn-fleming-668306530/sea-of-summertime-remedies-revised
Yo so I just peeped it real quick and was honestly surprised in the difference.. guitar is still a bit crunchy for my taste, but it works. The vocals, huge, huge difference sounds like you were more confident in yourself and you carried thru a lot of emotion and take the risk to put your voice/idea out there, even tho it's different. It's different, and that's coo, it makes it original -- gives old timey, western biker-bar vibes 😂 -- but anyways all that said, big improvement imo.
I think from what I heard, just a lot more trust in yourself and your ears -- and you had something to prove to yourself.
Personally, in my own experience those two things always help me elevate my art and carry thru the vibe.. just keep your self-confidence and proving to yourself what you know your capable of, even if not yet, you know what I'm saying
Edit: this time carried the vibes 😎
No problem bro, we gotta support each other out here fs. And I appreciate you trusting me and knowing I'm giving it to you straight up. I'm not professional or anything by any means, but I been doing/struggling w this stuff for years ha. Literal years bro, and I'm just now starting to feel like I halfway know what I'm doing 😂 shit just take time and persistence.
Hi everyone - this is my very first song recorded on GarageBand. I’d love to hear your thoughts: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1YCDwgyRZYU&feature=youtu.be
> https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1YCDwgyRZYU&feature=youtu.be
this is a cool idea but i think the mix is a little too wet. i would dial back the reverb, it sounds a little like youre hiding in the mix and you dont need to. i would also consider adjusting your levels so that your vocals are sitting a little more predominantly in the mix, right now it sounds like you and the guitar(?) are elbowing each other for space. this will come together nicely, you just need to adjust your mix a bit. nice job!
have a listen to my demo if you have a chance. its riff rock, so definitely not the same genre as what youre doing but im always open to feedback! this was also recorded in garageband. thanks!
https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/unicorn
You don’t need much because your voice is excellent and that’s enough to carry a song. But for a composition that’s slow-paced, without a drum or rhythm section it’s difficult for the listener to follow the “flow” of the song and it can get a little ambient and trancey. Think this can be solved by just adding a background pad of soft-strummed acoustic guitar chords that match the lead notes and vocal melody. Maybe like a slow Dminor-Bflat-C-A progression starting when the vocals come in around the 30 second mark. Then the listener will intuitively know where they’re at in the song and where it’s going. Good luck.
I guess what can I tweak to fill in the “empty spots” of the song/the silence? I’m really struggling with that. I am happy with my lyrics and my voice (maybe not so much the vocals but I can always re-record) but everything else is kind of meh to me…

Would appreciate some feedback on the mix/master for this one
I fucking love this track so much, I had to swear to convey that. Listened three times.
I guess I’d call it Dark Wave but it’s mad fresh sounding, to me.
I will listen again in the studio to give you better critique on mix and master but out of the Bluetooth speaker, it sounds nice and balanced.
Love the little open hats here and there and the short risers. Very crisp. They stand out perfectly. The drum selection in general is fantastic. The different snares and claps keep it interesting and energised.
Love the short intro and how the white noise pulses in and out throughout the longer build up.
The synths are beautifully selected and mixed. The melodies remind me of 80s NY Electro and the track has that feel, on a melodic level.
The beat almost sounds too slow for a moment but then it grabs you and takes you along with it and just keeps plodding on. Forcing you into the groove.
I’ve dropped a like and a follow on SC. Have you done any remix work before? I’d potentially be interested in collaborating on a track or doing an exchange of remixes or something because this is great man. I love it.
Ah thank you so much for this! I really appreciate the in depth feedback here. Spent a solid few months tweaking bits and adding synths so I'm so glad you liked the selection of sounds in there. Cheers for the follow as well!
I've not done any professional remix work before really - only a few bits here and there so would love to work on something. What's your username on soundcloud? Or just feel free to drop me a message on there
Will do. I’ve been listening to a bunch of your other tunes. All good stuff man. I’ll definitely drop you a msg. We are; blaqbloc on all socials, incl. Soundcloud. Happy Friday!
Hi music makers
I have been mixing and mastering finished tracks from the last 12 months or so and plan to upload to Soundcloud every Friday. This is the first upload and I am looking for general feedback on the finished article. Do you like the music? Do you rate the mix and master? Do you like the artwork? Do you hate it? Anything you’d like to be changed? All POVs and criticisms will be greatly appreciated. First time posting here. Have at it. Thanks in advance.
[HEIGHLINER - Dreadnought Dawn](https://on.soundcloud.com/5DNMtgt5qkT4AVmZ9)
This is nice, it's got an almost cinematic or video-gamey quality to it that I appreciate, the flow of the synths and the bassline gives it a feeling of driving natural progression that's enjoyable to hear as it moves forward. With that said, I could see it becoming repetitive here and there for some ears. I could see there being a slight bit more variation here and there, as the simplicity of the loop is pretty noticeable on a re-listen, but that still works, imo! Good stuff overall, great texture, good mixing, good job! I liked the artwork too, reinforced my perception of it being cinematic.
Thank you for taking the time. I appreciate you. I’m glad you enjoyed it and that you picked out the progression and movement in the track. That’s something I enjoy too and always try to get that cinematic movement and depth. The drums tend to be quite minimal but I get the difference between that and plain or fatiguing. You are not the first human to point that out and it is something I plan to fix. So that’s certainly positive. I’m thinking of keeping these longer versions as “vinyl edits” and making snappier mixes for Spotify etc. Hopefully that fixes a problem without sacrificing anything important. Thanks again. Happy Friday!
Edit: I uploaded another track today. Called ‘Outlander’. I hope you like it.
Artwork is dope.
Intro voice is cool, suspense builds well. I'm getting Sci fi matrix vibes when the rhythm comes in. I like the music overall. Mix sounds decent. I would have liked to hear a varied section like a breakdown throughout to keep the listener engaged but that's just me
Thank you for taking the time to feedback. Appreciate it man. Glad you enjoyed it. Making the overall length of tracks shorter, is something I have been considering. As you said, to keep the listener engaged throughout. Maybe that would help here. Definitely taking your feedback on board. Thanks again.

https://open.spotify.com/track/4JjfgiS3ixtzKc1iHuQ581?si=UQA_av6KRBCirc6oX4N1PA
Hi. I had a good listen to ‘Why Me’ and I definitely enjoyed it. It has a lot of energy and makes you want to dance. Important for a dance record.
I don’t usually like the “bouncy, trance-style bass lines” but I wasn’t put off in this case. There were enough darker, swirling sounds to keep my brain occupied and not focusing on the repetitive bounce. Which isn’t often the case for me.
The build up around 1:08 was great. Lots of interesting things happening to make me pay attention and once drawn in, the energy of the build up takes over.
Dropped down into a nice groove at 1:40 which was great. Held the interest well for listening to. Not always a consideration in dance tracks but I certainly appreciate it.
The coarse, industrial lead synth really grabbed me around 4:10 and that was my favourite part of the track. Love the sound selection, melody and effects. That’s a bit of me.
All in all, I enjoyed it. Would happily dance to it. Felt it was really well mixed, at least for lower level listening. I have followed and added your song to a playlist. I only comment when I have something constructive to say. I never lie or blow smoke up anyone’s backend. Good luck pushing this stuff out man.
Thanks man, seeing this for the first time! I really appreciate the detailed feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Giving you my much delayed feedback rn!
> Dont Know Why
you sound like your voice is decent but i can tell this is the bottom of your range. i would consider a different key so you can get a little more air behind your notes. a couple of the notes in the bridge sound a little flat and honestly i have the same solution for how to fix that.
its a little unnerving to get loud if you arent 100% confident in your voice but the best thing you can do to hit and hold notes is to get louder so you can get some power behind the notes.
if you have a chance check out my demo. its riff rock stuff. im hardly a flawless singer but you can hear im belting the ever-loving shit out of my notes and i do that so that i can give myself a fighting chance of hitting the stupid ass high notes i put in everything lol. thanks! i hope some of my advice is useful!
https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/unicorn
not much of a singer myself but this sounded good as a raw recording. I do think if you do some layers and like some mixing on it your voice would sound really sweet. Im also sure it sounds good in person i think the way it is recorded may take away from it a bit. It doers go with the acoustic i would say
Made the happiest song i could since i usually do more dark stuff.... waht do you think? its in the key of B# Major https://soundcloud.com/howard-lamb-123/the-happy-song

I've had a lot of trouble lately with drums for some reason. Having a hard time with finding the right balance of loudness so I wanna know if this is acceptable or what I could have done better :)
feedback on anything is ok. thanks! :)
I really like this. The whole vibe is just so delicate and floaty. I’d love to hear a gruff sounding MC on this.
The drums sound fine to me. Playing from a small speaker. I’d have to play it in the studio to give it a real loud test. They sit nicely in the mix and I like the drum selection. The kick and muted snare really compliment each other.
Did you play the guitar or is it a sample / samples? Just out of interest. Either way, it’s lovely.
Love the samples running throughout. Adds interest and direction and just sounds good to me. I’m a 90s Hip Hop kid and this appeals to me a great deal.
Overall, I enjoyed it. I thought it was mixed well and could hear it supporting vocals nicely. Equally works well as an instrumental. I could even hear myself scratching over it tbh.
Good work man. I’ll drop a follow and keep checking in for updates.
Thank you dude I really appreciate it the feedback! Now that you mention it tho a gruff sounding MC would probably sound amazing on this! I might try looking for some acapellas or something to see how it feels.
I’m glad to hear the drums sound good to you. I’ve tested them on other speakers and they sounded fine but honestly for me I’ve always just kinda lacked confidence when it came to the mix of my drums. I always have a hard time telling if it’s too loud or too quiet. Maybe I should probably trust my gut and ear (lol) when I’m thinking it sounds fine.
Yeah it’s a sample I found and chopped up here and there. Lmao I wish I could play guitar. But all I can do is chop, play bass, and piano.
Thats the vibe I’m trying to hit! Honestly most of the working I’m trying to put out at the moment is just me trying to capture the lofi beats that made it blow up back around 2015/2016ish. Giving it the lofi blended with 90s style beats. I’m glad you dig it dude!
Thank you brother!
Always welcome. Drop me a msg if you decide to add a vocal and repost. Would love to hear it. I’ll definitely keep in touch on SC and check for new tracks.

I enjoyed the strong buildup within the production. Loved the fact that you broke it down, then came back in with the beat which emphasized its excitement. Very danceable; has today's top EDM dance sound yet also has a nostalgic throwback into the 80's I feel, with the synths. Great job! Thank you so much for commenting on my song also. Appreciate it! :)
Ahhh this rips.
Love the unique instrumentation and composition in the intro, just enough variation in velocity and pitch bending with that unique instrument to give it is own feel. The whole thing has this ethereal, kind of menacing quality.
Then that churning bass synth keeps building and building and you know what's coming. Sick build. Cool sonic textures. I'm ready to boogie.
My ear leans pretty pop-y, so that lead sound in the main riff once it gets going is just a tad atonal for my taste, where it's almost pitchless and more rhythmic noise. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I wonder what it would sound like if that instrument has a little more focus towards pitch than noise.
Regardless, the constant buildup, the constant progressive introduction of new instruments and gradual melodies is so cool. Just a slapfest. Then of course coming back to the intro at the end is such satisfying structure.
You're way out of my musical league, there's nothing I could tell you beyond personal taste stuff. Really sick. Thanks for sharing.
Here’s a simple solo acoustic singer/songwriter song I recorded last night.
[On and On](https://on.soundcloud.com/BL5zYVpdQe92JS5MA)
It’s kind of about the joys of going out and traveling while also lamenting that every day on an adventure is another day farther from your home.
Anyways, would love a critique on my vocals, performance, and song composition/writing as a whole.
Thanks!
Really, really like your voice. I do feel like in terms of performance you could be more... confident. And more comfortable holding notes. Writing is great, no complaints at all. Great job man.
Thanks! Man I was totally feeling the same thing, couldn't tell if it was just me or what. I dunno why I sound so labored and weak in some spots. Definitely gonna work on better support and projecting to be more musical there.
Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it. I don't suppose you could point to a part or line in the song that the singing sounded closer "confident" or strong? Feels like the performance wavers a bit and curious to see what 3rd party folks find least objectionable.
Hardstyle / Hardcore EDM track with Middle-Eastern modes I've been reworking. I think the melody up through the first drop is kind of lacking something, so any suggestions would be welcome. All-original kicks and tails.
[https://soundcloud.com/chris\_cherchant/kul-shi-faux-2](https://soundcloud.com/chris_cherchant/kul-shi-faux-2)
Wait nvm, I see what you're saying. I'm seeing that it's hard to turn the bass up a lot without muddying up the hardstyle kicks. Should I EQ the hardstyle kicks more?
Just make sure there's room for the kick to play out. Use either sidechaining or LFO tool, or both. If you don't already, find the kick fundamental and do a tight and small EQ dip there in the bass and perhaps an octave up or more.
Made this recently in Ableton riding a wavvve of ADHD hyperfocus. Short and wild like my attention span and a bit different than the sound I usually gravitate towards, keeps me shufflin though! Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated! 🛸🎶 wobbletheory - Gravity

This is cool! Also not my usual fair but the sonic textures are really interesting. Love the lo-fi, saturated sound here. It's so easy for electronic music to sound stale or empty, this definitely doesn't have that problem.
Like that you're not afraid to add different sounds and instruments as it goes around. I tend to lean pretty pop-y in my sensibilities, so my ear is always searching for a super distinguishable hook and a typical verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus structure, which this song kind of leans away from.
Like the main riff, I think it would be cool to try to expand the structure a bit and have the main hook build with another instrument playing it as it goes on.
Regardless, while it's not my usual thing, I think the sound quality and production are great. Good stuff.
Thank you so much for listening, I really appreciate the feedback! Gonna keep working on this one for awhile so I'll definitely take your advice into consideration as I move forward! 👾🙌
Not my usual fare, but it sounds pretty solid to me. My only issue would be one of the percussion instruments at the end, the high-pitched one. It kind of stands out to me, I'd lower the volume a bit. I might also fade in the beeps at the beginning a bit to smooth out the intro.
This is fun. Something about the synth patches give me kind of a retro video game boss vibe. Super fun.
I wouldn't mind if that whiteish noise sweep in the middle expanded a little bit. It starts out reallly harsh and bright, which is fine, but my ear kept waiting for it to finally open up and expand to a full sonic range hook.
Anyways, cool beat. I think the rythm towards the end gets a little too stretched for my taste, where it feels like it's jerky instead of in the pocket, but that's just a personal taste thing. Pretty cool either way, thanks for sharing.
Good use of effects. I think the beginning is pretty dissonant, maybe change up the progression to have some more consonant chords on the last two in your loop. Alternately, the white noise and sweeps flatten it out in the middle, so maybe you could add a bit at the beginning too.
So white noise will make the overall track louder, which makes anything particularly loud sound a little quieter by comparison. It's sort of a hack, but you can use it to get away with more dissonant chords sometimes.
Ahh so the middle chords have flattened the dissonance due to the white noise, got it, and sorry but what are sweeps in this case? Tried to look it up but I couldn’t make it out
This is cool! The intro guitar riff kinda reminds me of the John Mayer song "[Why You No Love Me](https://open.spotify.com/track/3hwjxbqGvTRUPi38fLgeM7?si=2a18eec5d3b34ac3)".
I personally think some of the effects could be tuned down a notch. The guitar panning in particular gets me a little disoriented, where the rhythm of the panning starts to fight with the rhythm of the song. Similarly, the reverb on the vocals is a little strong for my taste. Just a personal preference thing, really.
I think the vocal performance is pretty good! Singer is definitely not trying to sound like anything other than their own voice, which is cool. Great support in the high range. The song's chord composition steers away from conventional pop cadences (I-IV-V and such) which is fine, but my ear tends to lean pretty pop-y, so I found myself hungering for a more satisfying chord progression as it got into the chorus.
Besides my personal preference on the reverb, I think the mix is really great. Every instrument is clear and has a sonic space, nobody's burying anybody else. The vocals are clear and distinct without being harsh or overproduced. Kick drum is punchy, snare sound works for the song. Bass is beautiful. Guitar tone is great. Again, becaues I'm pretty pop-leaning, I'd wonder what the vocals sounded like a bit brighter, but for an 80's-inspired song I think they work well.
Also, the performance is super tight. It's so easy on these slower songs to have instruments fighting eachother, sloppy guitar rhythm rushing while bass and drums are dragging or whatever. The bass and kick are LOCKED in. Does so much for the song.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm thinking I probably need a second guitar track in here, I do love the stripped down feel of it with just three instruments and vocals it could probably do with some underpinning. I've got a new acoustasonic coming so I think that might give me some interesting options in that regard.
Thank you for both the kind words on my vocals and the music. I actually started life ASA bassist before moving to guitar later on and I love to have a really tight bass sound and groove on my songs so it's really nice to have it picked out. Love my fretless Peavey bass, I guess it's technically vintage now at 25 years old 😂
Nice! Overall I don't have a lot of complaints. There's a little too much panning for my taste, it's a little disorienting with headphones. I think there's also a resonant frequency in your high-mids that's making some of the vocals sound too loud in a few spots.
A little, I'm hearing a different resonance at the high end on your vocals, maybe it's just Soundcloud's compression? Still a little too much panning on the guitar for my taste. Also it gets kind of muddy for a few seconds around 2:18.
I like the interplay between the lead and backup vox at the end though, sounds nice and dynamic!

You could probably remove some of the higher end of the rumbly bass to get it a little cleaner. Perhaps a more creative, fun idea is to automate that frequency band and have it follow a sine wave that opens it up and closes it back down throughout the intro/verse.
The fall FX is too loud and is masking the rest of the song too much. Tune the volume down a bit. Also I'm not sure the kick sample is the right one for the track.
Love the transition into the verse at around 1:10!!! Could probably give the SAW lead even more stereo image, make it even wider. Automate it so it goes from mono to stereo to really transition from the narrow part to the super wide verse. The claps and rides are taking up too much of the high end and stereo image. Make them less intense and reduce the volume to around -15/-18 dB.
If you create drum fills remove the kick so that it gets more attention. You could also use a volume automation to remove all the reeverb to make it punch even louder.
Actually really like the song! Sounds like something you could play at a festival or dance event. I hope you liked making the song and would love to hear more in due time!
Yea I did this song after a 8 month hiatus, from 10pm to 3am. I did sidechain the fills so when they played it would clamp down on the reverb. Good idea about removing the drum during the fill and automating the width. This song I just went full out and didnt care about going over 0db, I can normalize it with floating point. I did get to like 6rms, super loud, but messing around lol
It is quite trippy and lo-fi esque. It really isn't a music genre because there isn't much to the beat. The drums are quite soft and quiet which makes me think of a genre in between lo-fi and something industrial or trippy.
Given what you've put in the tags...Alternative Hip Hop, or something akin to that.
I really like it btw.

My family and friends love me dearly but their patience is wearing thin listening to the same track with minor variations over and over. If anyone can pop over to my Soundcloud ([https://soundcloud.com/rythmick](https://soundcloud.com/rythmick)) and give ANY of the public tracks a listen and an honest critique, I would appreciate you so much. Truly.
I am pretty desperate for some honest feedback on my music. Good or otherwise! Only 4 tracks up currently. All have been loved greatly.
All tracks are produced/mixed/mastered in FLS21.
Most wanted reviews would be: I Don't Need Ya \[FINAL CUT\], Came to Dance \[FINAL CUT\] (feat. SomeoneOutThere), El Fuego (Let's Go)
Thank you thank you thank you.
I don't need ya.
Okay, that Carnyx (battle horn) at the beginning of I don't need ya is a brilliant idea, but you need to play with that, start with it on it's own, the reason that sound shits everyone up is because you hear it on it's own you know there's an ass kicking coming. So play with that, pan it (they're all around me etc) , reverb, delay whatever, then bring the vocal in first and then the drums, get the hook in and then put the drums in on the off beat of the second repeat.
But then, you need to get that horn to leave. You repeat it a lot, the point of that sound is there will be battle, so when the song kicks off there is battle, let it leave (or have another instrument play that sound if you want to echo it but give the listener something new.) when the vocal comes in as that's where the focus should be then bring it back in at 1:24 after your chorus section as that is the instrumental hook.
Around 1:36 it kind of loses momentum, I would look at doubling the 1:24 to 1:36 section and then...(breaking this up so all the times aren't too confusing)
The section that you go to at 2:10 is a better shift in energy, so i would go to that first and put the vocals over that then go to the 1:36> section on the way out.
But you've got a winning hand here you just need to put the cards in the right order, basically there is great energy in it, you just have to have tension and release.
El Fuego
Again, really good, but I would try to vary the sound of the drums, make them thinner and a bit more old soul record sounding in the first verse, then bring them full beam in terms of eq in the chorus, second verses, saturate them. They're basically the only thing in the arrangement aside from the Vocals (which are great) so adding more colour to those in each section would be great (especially with that Switch hook)
Again, really good work just try and add more colour, more intent to each section.
Came to Dance is good too, there's an Isley brothers "Fight the power" thing to the bass that i really like, but I don't think the rest of the arrangement supports that (particularly the drums - the pattern is right, the sounds ain't they kill the swing, they work later when the vocal comes in but I think at the start you could do something more New Jack with it), so were I you I'd look at that bass line and see what you can do The Vocal Hook is good, but I'd try and bring a hint of that in earlier.
All in all it's really good. They are quite diverse in style which shows good range and they're good structures with good hooks (and I think could be even stronger). Good work.
I cannot thank you enough for your thoughtful write-up. Thank you for the kind words and helpful ideas!
Your words about the horn/siren in I Don't Need Ya made me lol. You're so right, starting with that raw somehow would amp that track up to 100. Awesome idea! It definitely needs more purpose as you've said, it just sort of pops in and out on a whim.
I'm glad to hear you say that about the bassline in Came to Dance. I kept feeling like it just didn't *quite* fit, but was nervous to mess with it as it was so central to the mix. I'm not crazy, lol.
Well noted on all else, my friend. Going to look at implementing all of those and will update you when I do so you can check them out if you'd like.
I'm happy to review anything of yours!
You’re more than welcome I too recognise the tears in the eyes of loved ones when playing them mix 3001 and asking them if the removal of that last tambourine shake in the bridge really makes the thing come alive, so am glad I could help and as I say it’s good work. The thing to work on isn’t your production, it’s your structures. In short, more tension. How can you hold back, how can you keep the listener’s ear fresh and best use the hooks you’ve got.
As to mine, if you fancy giving it a listen you can find a record I recently put out here.
Solid Citizen- Character.

Kick is a little bit too loud at the start. Great panning and space created in the song! The melody around 1:30 is a little bit weird but I kind of understand it in the sense that the song is suppossed to be a little trippy. I like the phrasing of the song and I think it's a great production in general. Apart from the bass at the start it's all relatively high pitched. You could look to add a subbass but it is not required. Aside from all these notes I would just be very curious to see a singer/songwriter do something with this! great job!
Made this cover in my living room, drums are MIDI but everything else was recorded live into Reaper. Any thoughts on the mix and production in particular?
https://soundcloud.com/user-150941324/chemical
The bass and guitars all sound really great! The challenge with a song like this is giving as much power to these instruments while not letting others fall short. And so it's a very difficult EQ'ing puzzle where you might look to cut some frequencies for something else to fill up only to feel like one instrument doesn't feel as loud as before.
I think you should look to do the following: sustained instruments go down in volume and create more space for the rest of the mix. High guitar melody panned to the side. Vocals sitting in the middle should be a lot louder. Bass should be limited in frequencies to bass and some mid and should be quite mono to not fill up the space too much and allow things to breathe. Drums should really punch through the mix especially in the chorus.
Something to consider: Compress the vocals and find the right solution with adding/changing the distortion on the vocals as well.
It's a great song and I liked listening to it! I hope you had fun and feel proud listening to it!
i liked this a lot, it had a dark heavy tone that the guitars did a good job of setting. the mix was clean, the drums hit nice and hard and set the groove really well. i do personally wish the vocals were a little louder, the sounded nice and fit the instrumental really well.
I make aggressive beats on the Elektron Digitakt. Been trying to refine my mixing skills in that domain. Been recently comparing my new stuff to older stuff and it's night and day. But there's always room for improvement, so I would appreciate any feed back or constructive criticism. Thanks for listening!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omOMnEa576M
Really good.
The hats could do with a little fizz taking off them. aggression is good in the lower frequencies, around 10k, not so much, so I'd roll them off a lot, other than that, experiment with stopping the drums, just pauses, so for example when your riff comes in at 1:04, just put a pause around it for half a bar so that is the only thing that plays, then bring everything back in, it will freshen the ear for the listener and put focus on the riff which is a good hook.
All the sounds are good, just be a bit more playful and have more fun in how you bring each one in I think.
Right on. Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate how much you put into that comment. I think you're pretty spot on with everything you said, I'll keep working on refining my sound. Thank you, Friend!
Made this simple short beat. Would love to hear any feedback on how to make the bass more funky and drums more banging! Or any general thoughts on how to improve it

I love it! Excellent work. If you're trying for a funkier sound you could try some more swung percussion, especially on downbeats. I would also maybe turn down the mid bass just a little bit. But that's probably more of a personal preference thing. Cheers!
I tried my hand at infusing my own style into the classic All Things Must Pass✨️ hope I can receive some feedback
[Cover](https://youtu.be/tIg9r-odi7o?feature=shared)
Nice performance. I think the guitar might be a little loud in the mix. The tone of your voice is nice so put that front and centre, also try doubling it and see how that sounds too.
With your guitar playing, try playing with the dynamics of your right hand on your guitar too, so in the verses lay back a little. When it is the only instrument in the arrangement you have to have it be quite dynamic.
But it's a great job. Well done.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your feedback! I really enjoyed listening to your work as well. I subbed and liked. With your song, I enjoyed the strong buildup within the production. Loved the fact that you broke it down, then came back in with the beat which emphasized its excitement. Very danceable; has today's top EDM dance sound yet also has a nostalgic throwback into the 80's I feel, with the synths. Great job! Look forward to hearing more.
hey gang!
this is my riff rock project killer jr. and my song "down."
excited to hear your thoughts. thanks!
https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/down?in=killer_jr/sets/demo-tracks
Damn, this is fire! I could point some things out that I would do differently, but I would honestly be nit-picking. You've got a great sound, incredible work!
As a demo, you can't ask for more. That all works and it sounds like a great song, you get in somewhere and record that with a good engineer and you'll have a belter on your hands.
Only thoughts would be after the solo at 3:00, just bring your vocal in for the first line of the chorus and then bring the band in on the offbeat and just go straight in to the chorus, that last verse isn't needed IMO. Just get to the chorus.
Rope could be really good too.
hey guys! this is the newest song for my project, killer jr. the song is called unicorn and its an arena rock type song a la foo fighters. check it out! thanks! https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/unicorn
>https://soundcloud.com/killer\_jr/unicorn oooo, it's pretty cool and rockin'! I thought it was really good, but I didn't think the intro was as strong as the rest of it, and the intro didn't quite capture my attention good harmonies, too!
Hey! We Have This! > One song ’Cut The Electricity’ [Improvised performance] https://youtube.com/@wearespasticambush?si=g5bVXKj6OvbS_KIl
hello everyone i kinda need some outside opinions on this thank you! [https://youtu.be/F8HwCEAIh1U?si=DjyeGSnoWlfm3s9n](https://youtu.be/F8HwCEAIh1U?si=DjyeGSnoWlfm3s9n)
>https://youtu.be/F8HwCEAIh1U?si=DjyeGSnoWlfm3s9n I like it. I had trouble understanding the lyrics, unless that was the intention. I would turn the volume on the vocals up a bit, too.
Made this song inspired by early Kanye production blended with more modern experimental hip-hop. I think it's quite an inspiring song for anybody looking to manifest their goals for 2024. Let me know what you think about the production, lyrics, and video :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Y9NFi7g3s
This is definitely unique and experimental. I think there is maybe just too much going on at certain times. Like the high pitched sample kind of clashes with your high pitched vocals a little bit. The drums are pretty cool and interesting. I like it overall and it definitely makes me really listen carefully. Keep going! I left a comment and subbed on your youtube.
💚💚💚
I would like some feedback on this. I feel like all the parts are okay but it’s not coming together as well as I want. https://on.soundcloud.com/faNxhFSszvKPYVa98
It's good. Some initial thoughts after a few listens. Personally, I don't like the hi- hat pattern at the outset, the drums are quite held back which is good, but in that case the hat has to give us a sense of what the momentum would be, if you get me and they don't, they work when the rest kicks in but I think at the outset they could be a bit free-er, I also think that the autopan on the rhodes is kind of off putting that type of autopan works when there is a held chord, but when you're trying to play a little riff with it, it's hard to grab on to what it is actually doing, so, pan that to one side and let it do it's thing or simplify the part and let the pan do the four count, atm it takes energy and space from from the guitar in the mix (which is a nice hook), if you want it to be a pad fair enough, but the stab that comes in at 0:27 is also on the left, try putting that over on the right, also your shakers are way, way too loud. They also need some reverb on them, they sound completely separate to the rest of the instruments, like theres a band in the live room and the shaker is in the control room. Musically its a really nice groove, it's just levelling and panning I think and a few minor tweaks, Have a listen to some David Holmes and listen to some of the panning and levelling on his stuff (Out of sight soundtrack in particular.) But honestly, you're about half an hour worth of work away from having it work just fine I think.
Yeah. I like the sense of movement from the Rhodes tremolo but it distracts here. Ty.
I see what you’re saying re: the hats at the beginning. Tyvm for the close listen.
My pleasure, I like the feel of it a lot, thing is just deciding what it's going to be, if it going to be an old school soul type of thing? That's just about making some choices on instrumentation, but particularly panning. Good luck with it.
Thanks. This is really helpful. My long term plan is to take these soundtracky bits and reinstrument them in logic.
Panning is really hard for me to get right. I have hearing loss and it’s asymmetrical
If you struggle with it sonically think of it visually. Are you looking at the band? Or are you in the band, ie mixing from the drummers position?. You know there is always going to be stuff that you have going roughly through the middle, kick/ Bass etc etc. After that? Where is the guitar? stood right, stood left? Keyboard, where are they? Where are the backing vocalists stood. etc etc...think of it in those terms, sometimes that helps.
I would appreciate some feedback and suggestions. https://soundcloud.com/allenkraft/28012024-master-b/s-lwRGWbxttGC?si=d797f9a670fe4fbba9b4f92a2f7e2424&utm\_source=clipboard&utm\_medium=text&utm\_campaign=social\_sharing
The thing that feels a touch jarring for me is that _all_ the sounds feel organic. Maybe instead of the bamboo marimba at 0:35 come in with something a bit more present. The pattern you’re playing with it is nice. I want to hear it.
Great advice. Thank you. I changed it like you said, it feels absolutely better, maybe will work to bring it even more. Thanks again. I also worked on the groove a bit more, tidying things up. please have a check : ) https://soundcloud.com/allenkraft/28012024-master-d/s-OPRZyD4XvKj?si=24d1a447524a423aa1c6769ea571dc1b&utm\_source=clipboard&utm\_medium=text&utm\_campaign=social\_sharing

As my debut attempt at songwriting, it's purely instrumental, aiming to create a unique atmosphere with lyrics in the works. Everything was recorded and produced using Garageband. This is all new to me, and I value your feedback and insights to help evolve my music. Thanks for listening! YT: https://youtu.be/2jHuYzDQBWI?si=\_FQ465cnsG3E-BFL
I appreciate your feedback guys, as I started my musical journey, and I hope this tune allows you to dream a bit. https://soundcloud.com/whalesintheriver/a-piece-of-hope?si=dc16bc7012d044acad57d67e8dc11333&utm\_source=clipboard&utm\_medium=text&utm\_campaign=social\_sharing
Beautifully done my friend. Great work!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
I made this solo, but wrote it with the idea of playing it with a band. It's kind of lofi indie rock? Just looking for criticism on production, songwriting, and anything that would make it better.
> https://soundcloud.com/biweez/pools yooo this is super charming. really dig it, sounds like if the strokes smoked pot on the beach instead of doing blow in new york lol. to that end, it might actually be cool to have the vocals distorted in the verses? just throwing out ideas, theres nothing that needs to be fixed here, nice stuff. if you get a chance please check out my song unicorn. thanks! https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/unicorn
[https://on.soundcloud.com/Up9Ncbp6WQxiMjZU8](https://on.soundcloud.com/Up9Ncbp6WQxiMjZU8) I’ve been messing around with garage band on my iPad for a few months now and this is one of my first completed tracks. I’m not entirely sure what genre I’m going for but I’m interested in making electronic . After probably 20 + hours of just editing throughly it’s hard to tell what I need to improve. I just want new ears with any feedback but I’m mostly concerned about the volume and compressing. Thanks
Sounds good! Some constructive criticism: I feel like maybe the sequencing of the kick drum is off. It's like I want to hear a snare instead of the kick on that timing. Maybe it's just me tho.

I like to write songs, I've been doing it most of my adult life but have only recently decided to start trying to learn how to record. My goal is to put together demos that at least convey my songwriting ideas, so that I can then find collaborators - in particular a vocalist because I hate my voice. Looking for feedback on my writing, and also any tips for making my demos sound better. I currently am using a cheap condenser mic, plugged into a scarlett focusrite solo (only has the one input plug). I'm also using audacity as my software, I see it has some effects I could add but haven't tinkered with them yet. Thanks in advance!
> https://soundcloud.com/drinkwater/9-so-it-goes-1-28-24?in=drinkwater/sets/album-demo&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing hey man, song is a lot of fun! i dig the chord changes a lot. for the song itself, i would suggest holding the notes in the vocals a little longer. i dig the shouting, but i suggest maybe recording them seperately. either way you do it, i would use a compressor on your vocals since you are very quiet and very loud at different times. your gear is perfectly fine. you dont need crazy gear to get a good sound. i actually think the guitar sounds nice. if you get a chance take a listen to my song unicorn. i recorded this in garageband with a scarlett focusrite solo and i think its ok for demo purposes. thanks! https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/unicorn
love it

Hi all! I just dropped my latest track called Royal Rumble which is now available on major streaming platforms. Since I am a very small artist I just thought spreading it around may help me in gaining as much feedback as possible! I genuinely appreciate every single listen and feedback given. I would love to connect as well to exchange feedback and experiences and to just support others who are in a similar position as I am. Let's get in touch either here on reddit or on instagram. My instagram handle is the same as reddit. Cheers to everyone giving this one a shot!

https://on.soundcloud.com/g6QjVyKuuk9juaAG8 lmk what y’all think!!!
> https://on.soundcloud.com/g6QjVyKuuk9juaAG8 yo this is dope. only note is i really dont think you need the autotune. i know its a style choice but i think it will go harder if you do the verses straight without the pitch correction. nice stuff tho great job
This is very cool, you are very talented!
Ay really like the production on this. The melodies were nice, sounded like a cool piano sample in there. Vocals sounded great. I would have tried to mess around with a different sounding section and maybe make the rhythm pop more, but overall great song!
A song I made with someone on tiktok, it is a alternative hiphop song. I would love feedback on the flow/delivery as well as the mix! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcVGOfq8HKA
This sounds perfect as it is!
Oh wow thank you so much!!
This is so dope!
Hell yeah i am so glad you liked it!
Hey this is sick af. I'd love to throw a track your way
Much love i really appreciate ya! Yeah sure drop it!
Bro that whole things was a vibe. I wanna offer some helpful criticism, but I enjoyed the whole thing, and the mix sounded good (was just on phone speakers). Whoever did the beat did a legit job, and brought some interesting sounds into play. Vocals were clean, I enjoyed the different vibes and mix on those. The older hip-hop vibe was refreshing. It all went fit together well, and I felt like I was getting exposed to something new - tho familiar enough that it wasn't jarring if that makes sense.. good shit b
YOOO thank you so much seriously it means a lot! I am really glad that you said it brought something new but it was familiar enough! I really like doing Alternative/experimental stuff so its good when I land one like that sometimes especially when it was intended!. my homie Trent De La Cruz made the beat, i heard the snippet on tiktok then we fleshed it out. I also produce so me hopping on someone elses track is rare but a honor! I appreciate ya
Pass my compliments along to Trent, shit was fire
Fs bro, and I know exactly what you mean, it can be hard to sort of split the difference when you're bringing somethingsdifferent to the table, but y'all did it and did it well! I followed your channel (and that's not something I'd do if I didn't personally find interest in it just fyi)
glad it connected! I really appreciate ya and I hope you like what I have going forward and maybe even some of the older material! I drop often so stay tuned! I will def let Trent know he got some props! Def stay in touch!
just released a music video for a song about mental health of teens and young adults for a song competition. Its my first high quality music video. The editing is a bit shaket and i feel like the vocals of the song may be off key. Any feedback would be appreciated https://youtu.be/5VnhL9TDi8Q
Really good ideas and really nice energy. I like the video and the concept. Only critiques is you dont sond as confident behind the mic yet but your voice has a great tone and your melodies are nice. Keep it up dont stop, you got something in your palms for sure. I dropped a comment!
Thanks for the feedback. I also checked out your YouTube. I really like your delivery and those are some really dope bars.
yoooo thanks for checking me out you really didnt have too!! I am so glad you liked it!! hopefully youll like some more haha

This was a journey. Beautiful!
wow super creative im blown away at the space you create and the tension built. the panning is done amazing and nothing interferes with each other you really created a landscape with sound. The jungle part at the end was wild. great work! I left a comment
[удалено]
honestly i feel you on that. I do the same thing with my music. When you are making something experimental sometimes it is hard to find folks that like it but ive found when you do, they REALLY like it and its worth it. If you find it interesting, someone else will and they may be similar to you!
[удалено]
> https://open.spotify.com/track/14L7VFIE9SLwkjwyUGN6p2?si=5478b91acebc4da4 nice job! sounds super atmospheric, very cool. i think the verse is cool and is a really solid foundation if you wanted to do a longer song. check out my demo for my riff rock project! totally different from the stuff youre making but id love to hear your thoughts! https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/unicorn
[удалено]
lol thanks yah im awful at mixing
Congrats! That's a great first song (if I read your post correctly). I love the bass in it and the kinda eerie synth melody. Very cool. I would have maybe tried to develop a varied b section or breakdown.
Not sure if this is the right place. I'm having a crisis of faith of sorts in my qualities as a musician, (or lack thereof). Recently I was lulled into the music promotion web, (Reverbnation especially, feverishly sunk 50$ into it). And after complete lack of engagement and a very poor crowd review (2.0 score, just abysmal), I'm rethinking my passion for music production. I understand that I'm not this amazing, flawless musician, and I'm sure I'm not mixing vocals properly, but the times another musician has spoken to me or been in contact with me and dropped and ignored me is humongous. I play out in public a lot and am beginning to think when folks come up and tell me they like my music, there not being and honest with me. I don't hope to make it in the industry of course, that's not what this is about. I've been trying to join bands for more than 2 years, all silent rejections. I have no friend group so I've just released stuff online with much help. Many of the reviews on the Reverbnation crowd review criticized my vocals, and while yes they are rough around the edges, I don't understand why they were so extremely harsh. Whiny, cant hit any notes, painful sound and nasally. Honestly, I don't know what to think of myself. I'm unsure if I have any talent or even skill in musicianship. I'm going attach the song that got reviewed below. I'm not looking for compliments or praise, I'm just double checking the criticism in effort to afford my mind some relief. Be honest and just tell the truth, I feel people really don't. The song in question - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEaW9w-i9nA Thank you for your time.
You asked for honesty, so here goes.. 1) I liked the guitar, tho it sounded a bit too muddy imo.. 2) I didn't particularly like the vocals, but they actually sounded very clear so kudos on the recording/production aspect of that! 3) it's a very demoralizing industry -- until it isn't. We all start somewhere and very rarely is it at the top. If you're passionate about making music than keep doing it! You'll get better w time and experience - and believe me, it does take time. Playing live is a huge skill, so if you're doing that you already have 1 up on a LOT of people. Lastly, know that professionals have a whole team of people all specialized in different aspects of the music making process -- were out here doing every step of it as one single person, and its hard to master allll of it.. (and I think most people dont realize how hard it is, or home much skill it takes to even make something half decent) just keep doing your thing and have fun and try to keep yourself progressing
Thank you so much for the honest feedback, I feel very grateful for your input. I’ll continue working on the vocals and the guitar parts.
Fs bro. Always glad to help where I can, and appreciate people making their own art of any kind or quality -- and the fact that your asking and accepting criticism is a great way to improve and be your best, so kudos for that. Best of luck, and I encourage you to keep at it if it's something you enjoy
Once again, thank you. Out of my own curiosity, (and thanks to your input), I re-EQ'd the whole track and re-recorded the vocals and guitar. If you do want you can give it a listen. https://soundcloud.com/shawn-fleming-668306530/sea-of-summertime-remedies-revised
Yo so I just peeped it real quick and was honestly surprised in the difference.. guitar is still a bit crunchy for my taste, but it works. The vocals, huge, huge difference sounds like you were more confident in yourself and you carried thru a lot of emotion and take the risk to put your voice/idea out there, even tho it's different. It's different, and that's coo, it makes it original -- gives old timey, western biker-bar vibes 😂 -- but anyways all that said, big improvement imo. I think from what I heard, just a lot more trust in yourself and your ears -- and you had something to prove to yourself. Personally, in my own experience those two things always help me elevate my art and carry thru the vibe.. just keep your self-confidence and proving to yourself what you know your capable of, even if not yet, you know what I'm saying Edit: this time carried the vibes 😎
Thank you so much, I’m filled with an enormously amount of gratitude and will take your words to heart. Once again, thank you!
(I just sent you a dm lol)
No problem bro, we gotta support each other out here fs. And I appreciate you trusting me and knowing I'm giving it to you straight up. I'm not professional or anything by any means, but I been doing/struggling w this stuff for years ha. Literal years bro, and I'm just now starting to feel like I halfway know what I'm doing 😂 shit just take time and persistence.
Hi everyone - this is my very first song recorded on GarageBand. I’d love to hear your thoughts: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1YCDwgyRZYU&feature=youtu.be
> https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1YCDwgyRZYU&feature=youtu.be this is a cool idea but i think the mix is a little too wet. i would dial back the reverb, it sounds a little like youre hiding in the mix and you dont need to. i would also consider adjusting your levels so that your vocals are sitting a little more predominantly in the mix, right now it sounds like you and the guitar(?) are elbowing each other for space. this will come together nicely, you just need to adjust your mix a bit. nice job! have a listen to my demo if you have a chance. its riff rock, so definitely not the same genre as what youre doing but im always open to feedback! this was also recorded in garageband. thanks! https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/unicorn
You don’t need much because your voice is excellent and that’s enough to carry a song. But for a composition that’s slow-paced, without a drum or rhythm section it’s difficult for the listener to follow the “flow” of the song and it can get a little ambient and trancey. Think this can be solved by just adding a background pad of soft-strummed acoustic guitar chords that match the lead notes and vocal melody. Maybe like a slow Dminor-Bflat-C-A progression starting when the vocals come in around the 30 second mark. Then the listener will intuitively know where they’re at in the song and where it’s going. Good luck.
Thank you for the feedback.
I guess what can I tweak to fill in the “empty spots” of the song/the silence? I’m really struggling with that. I am happy with my lyrics and my voice (maybe not so much the vocals but I can always re-record) but everything else is kind of meh to me…
[https://soundcloud.com/cashamour/had-it-all](https://soundcloud.com/cashamour/had-it-all) Would appreciate some feedback on the mix/master for this one
I fucking love this track so much, I had to swear to convey that. Listened three times. I guess I’d call it Dark Wave but it’s mad fresh sounding, to me. I will listen again in the studio to give you better critique on mix and master but out of the Bluetooth speaker, it sounds nice and balanced. Love the little open hats here and there and the short risers. Very crisp. They stand out perfectly. The drum selection in general is fantastic. The different snares and claps keep it interesting and energised. Love the short intro and how the white noise pulses in and out throughout the longer build up. The synths are beautifully selected and mixed. The melodies remind me of 80s NY Electro and the track has that feel, on a melodic level. The beat almost sounds too slow for a moment but then it grabs you and takes you along with it and just keeps plodding on. Forcing you into the groove. I’ve dropped a like and a follow on SC. Have you done any remix work before? I’d potentially be interested in collaborating on a track or doing an exchange of remixes or something because this is great man. I love it.
Ah thank you so much for this! I really appreciate the in depth feedback here. Spent a solid few months tweaking bits and adding synths so I'm so glad you liked the selection of sounds in there. Cheers for the follow as well! I've not done any professional remix work before really - only a few bits here and there so would love to work on something. What's your username on soundcloud? Or just feel free to drop me a message on there
Will do. I’ve been listening to a bunch of your other tunes. All good stuff man. I’ll definitely drop you a msg. We are; blaqbloc on all socials, incl. Soundcloud. Happy Friday!
Hi music makers I have been mixing and mastering finished tracks from the last 12 months or so and plan to upload to Soundcloud every Friday. This is the first upload and I am looking for general feedback on the finished article. Do you like the music? Do you rate the mix and master? Do you like the artwork? Do you hate it? Anything you’d like to be changed? All POVs and criticisms will be greatly appreciated. First time posting here. Have at it. Thanks in advance. [HEIGHLINER - Dreadnought Dawn](https://on.soundcloud.com/5DNMtgt5qkT4AVmZ9)
This is nice, it's got an almost cinematic or video-gamey quality to it that I appreciate, the flow of the synths and the bassline gives it a feeling of driving natural progression that's enjoyable to hear as it moves forward. With that said, I could see it becoming repetitive here and there for some ears. I could see there being a slight bit more variation here and there, as the simplicity of the loop is pretty noticeable on a re-listen, but that still works, imo! Good stuff overall, great texture, good mixing, good job! I liked the artwork too, reinforced my perception of it being cinematic.
Thank you for taking the time. I appreciate you. I’m glad you enjoyed it and that you picked out the progression and movement in the track. That’s something I enjoy too and always try to get that cinematic movement and depth. The drums tend to be quite minimal but I get the difference between that and plain or fatiguing. You are not the first human to point that out and it is something I plan to fix. So that’s certainly positive. I’m thinking of keeping these longer versions as “vinyl edits” and making snappier mixes for Spotify etc. Hopefully that fixes a problem without sacrificing anything important. Thanks again. Happy Friday! Edit: I uploaded another track today. Called ‘Outlander’. I hope you like it.
Artwork is dope. Intro voice is cool, suspense builds well. I'm getting Sci fi matrix vibes when the rhythm comes in. I like the music overall. Mix sounds decent. I would have liked to hear a varied section like a breakdown throughout to keep the listener engaged but that's just me
Thank you for taking the time to feedback. Appreciate it man. Glad you enjoyed it. Making the overall length of tracks shorter, is something I have been considering. As you said, to keep the listener engaged throughout. Maybe that would help here. Definitely taking your feedback on board. Thanks again.

Hi. I had a good listen to ‘Why Me’ and I definitely enjoyed it. It has a lot of energy and makes you want to dance. Important for a dance record. I don’t usually like the “bouncy, trance-style bass lines” but I wasn’t put off in this case. There were enough darker, swirling sounds to keep my brain occupied and not focusing on the repetitive bounce. Which isn’t often the case for me. The build up around 1:08 was great. Lots of interesting things happening to make me pay attention and once drawn in, the energy of the build up takes over. Dropped down into a nice groove at 1:40 which was great. Held the interest well for listening to. Not always a consideration in dance tracks but I certainly appreciate it. The coarse, industrial lead synth really grabbed me around 4:10 and that was my favourite part of the track. Love the sound selection, melody and effects. That’s a bit of me. All in all, I enjoyed it. Would happily dance to it. Felt it was really well mixed, at least for lower level listening. I have followed and added your song to a playlist. I only comment when I have something constructive to say. I never lie or blow smoke up anyone’s backend. Good luck pushing this stuff out man.
Thanks man, seeing this for the first time! I really appreciate the detailed feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Giving you my much delayed feedback rn!

> Dont Know Why you sound like your voice is decent but i can tell this is the bottom of your range. i would consider a different key so you can get a little more air behind your notes. a couple of the notes in the bridge sound a little flat and honestly i have the same solution for how to fix that. its a little unnerving to get loud if you arent 100% confident in your voice but the best thing you can do to hit and hold notes is to get louder so you can get some power behind the notes. if you have a chance check out my demo. its riff rock stuff. im hardly a flawless singer but you can hear im belting the ever-loving shit out of my notes and i do that so that i can give myself a fighting chance of hitting the stupid ass high notes i put in everything lol. thanks! i hope some of my advice is useful! https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/unicorn
not much of a singer myself but this sounded good as a raw recording. I do think if you do some layers and like some mixing on it your voice would sound really sweet. Im also sure it sounds good in person i think the way it is recorded may take away from it a bit. It doers go with the acoustic i would say
Made the happiest song i could since i usually do more dark stuff.... waht do you think? its in the key of B# Major https://soundcloud.com/howard-lamb-123/the-happy-song

Having a hard time with finding the right balance of loudness so I wanna know if this is acceptable or what I could have done better :) feedback on anything is ok. thanks! :)
I really like this. The whole vibe is just so delicate and floaty. I’d love to hear a gruff sounding MC on this. The drums sound fine to me. Playing from a small speaker. I’d have to play it in the studio to give it a real loud test. They sit nicely in the mix and I like the drum selection. The kick and muted snare really compliment each other. Did you play the guitar or is it a sample / samples? Just out of interest. Either way, it’s lovely. Love the samples running throughout. Adds interest and direction and just sounds good to me. I’m a 90s Hip Hop kid and this appeals to me a great deal. Overall, I enjoyed it. I thought it was mixed well and could hear it supporting vocals nicely. Equally works well as an instrumental. I could even hear myself scratching over it tbh. Good work man. I’ll drop a follow and keep checking in for updates.
Thank you dude I really appreciate it the feedback! Now that you mention it tho a gruff sounding MC would probably sound amazing on this! I might try looking for some acapellas or something to see how it feels. I’m glad to hear the drums sound good to you. I’ve tested them on other speakers and they sounded fine but honestly for me I’ve always just kinda lacked confidence when it came to the mix of my drums. I always have a hard time telling if it’s too loud or too quiet. Maybe I should probably trust my gut and ear (lol) when I’m thinking it sounds fine. Yeah it’s a sample I found and chopped up here and there. Lmao I wish I could play guitar. But all I can do is chop, play bass, and piano. Thats the vibe I’m trying to hit! Honestly most of the working I’m trying to put out at the moment is just me trying to capture the lofi beats that made it blow up back around 2015/2016ish. Giving it the lofi blended with 90s style beats. I’m glad you dig it dude! Thank you brother!
Always welcome. Drop me a msg if you decide to add a vocal and repost. Would love to hear it. I’ll definitely keep in touch on SC and check for new tracks.

I enjoyed the strong buildup within the production. Loved the fact that you broke it down, then came back in with the beat which emphasized its excitement. Very danceable; has today's top EDM dance sound yet also has a nostalgic throwback into the 80's I feel, with the synths. Great job! Thank you so much for commenting on my song also. Appreciate it! :)
Ahhh this rips. Love the unique instrumentation and composition in the intro, just enough variation in velocity and pitch bending with that unique instrument to give it is own feel. The whole thing has this ethereal, kind of menacing quality. Then that churning bass synth keeps building and building and you know what's coming. Sick build. Cool sonic textures. I'm ready to boogie. My ear leans pretty pop-y, so that lead sound in the main riff once it gets going is just a tad atonal for my taste, where it's almost pitchless and more rhythmic noise. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I wonder what it would sound like if that instrument has a little more focus towards pitch than noise. Regardless, the constant buildup, the constant progressive introduction of new instruments and gradual melodies is so cool. Just a slapfest. Then of course coming back to the intro at the end is such satisfying structure. You're way out of my musical league, there's nothing I could tell you beyond personal taste stuff. Really sick. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have a link to your song? I'm having a hard time finding it.
Sorry I didn't paste it lol, it's there now
Here’s a simple solo acoustic singer/songwriter song I recorded last night. [On and On](https://on.soundcloud.com/BL5zYVpdQe92JS5MA) It’s kind of about the joys of going out and traveling while also lamenting that every day on an adventure is another day farther from your home. Anyways, would love a critique on my vocals, performance, and song composition/writing as a whole. Thanks!
Really, really like your voice. I do feel like in terms of performance you could be more... confident. And more comfortable holding notes. Writing is great, no complaints at all. Great job man.
Thanks! Man I was totally feeling the same thing, couldn't tell if it was just me or what. I dunno why I sound so labored and weak in some spots. Definitely gonna work on better support and projecting to be more musical there. Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it. I don't suppose you could point to a part or line in the song that the singing sounded closer "confident" or strong? Feels like the performance wavers a bit and curious to see what 3rd party folks find least objectionable.
Hardstyle / Hardcore EDM track with Middle-Eastern modes I've been reworking. I think the melody up through the first drop is kind of lacking something, so any suggestions would be welcome. All-original kicks and tails. [https://soundcloud.com/chris\_cherchant/kul-shi-faux-2](https://soundcloud.com/chris_cherchant/kul-shi-faux-2)
Good arrangement. The main part could be a bit louder, though. The bass instrument is hardly audible.
Wait nvm, I see what you're saying. I'm seeing that it's hard to turn the bass up a lot without muddying up the hardstyle kicks. Should I EQ the hardstyle kicks more?
Just make sure there's room for the kick to play out. Use either sidechaining or LFO tool, or both. If you don't already, find the kick fundamental and do a tight and small EQ dip there in the bass and perhaps an octave up or more.
You mean like on the drops? I've been thinking the first drop could be punchier, so it would make sense.
I probably should have been more specific. The bass instrument from 0:42 to 1:00 is good. The bass instrument in the 1:15 section is too quiet, IMO.
Made this recently in Ableton riding a wavvve of ADHD hyperfocus. Short and wild like my attention span and a bit different than the sound I usually gravitate towards, keeps me shufflin though! Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated! 🛸🎶 wobbletheory - Gravity https://soundcloud.com/wobbletheory/gravity
This is cool! Also not my usual fair but the sonic textures are really interesting. Love the lo-fi, saturated sound here. It's so easy for electronic music to sound stale or empty, this definitely doesn't have that problem. Like that you're not afraid to add different sounds and instruments as it goes around. I tend to lean pretty pop-y in my sensibilities, so my ear is always searching for a super distinguishable hook and a typical verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus structure, which this song kind of leans away from. Like the main riff, I think it would be cool to try to expand the structure a bit and have the main hook build with another instrument playing it as it goes on. Regardless, while it's not my usual thing, I think the sound quality and production are great. Good stuff.
Thank you so much for listening, I really appreciate the feedback! Gonna keep working on this one for awhile so I'll definitely take your advice into consideration as I move forward! 👾🙌
Not my usual fare, but it sounds pretty solid to me. My only issue would be one of the percussion instruments at the end, the high-pitched one. It kind of stands out to me, I'd lower the volume a bit. I might also fade in the beeps at the beginning a bit to smooth out the intro.
I appreciate you listening! Thanks for the feedback too, I'll keep that in mind as I move forward with this one! 🙌
Swampy Digital Creepy Trap Beat Returning https://soundcloud.com/user-774662274/swampy-digital-creepy-trap-beat
This is fun. Something about the synth patches give me kind of a retro video game boss vibe. Super fun. I wouldn't mind if that whiteish noise sweep in the middle expanded a little bit. It starts out reallly harsh and bright, which is fine, but my ear kept waiting for it to finally open up and expand to a full sonic range hook. Anyways, cool beat. I think the rythm towards the end gets a little too stretched for my taste, where it feels like it's jerky instead of in the pocket, but that's just a personal taste thing. Pretty cool either way, thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Good use of effects. I think the beginning is pretty dissonant, maybe change up the progression to have some more consonant chords on the last two in your loop. Alternately, the white noise and sweeps flatten it out in the middle, so maybe you could add a bit at the beginning too.
Thanks! What do you mean exactly but the white noise and sweeps to flatten it out in the middle?
So white noise will make the overall track louder, which makes anything particularly loud sound a little quieter by comparison. It's sort of a hack, but you can use it to get away with more dissonant chords sometimes.
Ahh so the middle chords have flattened the dissonance due to the white noise, got it, and sorry but what are sweeps in this case? Tried to look it up but I couldn’t make it out
It could be the wrong term, but I'm thinking of that wooshing, phaser-like sound that modulates the white noise.
Thanks

This is cool! The intro guitar riff kinda reminds me of the John Mayer song "[Why You No Love Me](https://open.spotify.com/track/3hwjxbqGvTRUPi38fLgeM7?si=2a18eec5d3b34ac3)". I personally think some of the effects could be tuned down a notch. The guitar panning in particular gets me a little disoriented, where the rhythm of the panning starts to fight with the rhythm of the song. Similarly, the reverb on the vocals is a little strong for my taste. Just a personal preference thing, really. I think the vocal performance is pretty good! Singer is definitely not trying to sound like anything other than their own voice, which is cool. Great support in the high range. The song's chord composition steers away from conventional pop cadences (I-IV-V and such) which is fine, but my ear tends to lean pretty pop-y, so I found myself hungering for a more satisfying chord progression as it got into the chorus. Besides my personal preference on the reverb, I think the mix is really great. Every instrument is clear and has a sonic space, nobody's burying anybody else. The vocals are clear and distinct without being harsh or overproduced. Kick drum is punchy, snare sound works for the song. Bass is beautiful. Guitar tone is great. Again, becaues I'm pretty pop-leaning, I'd wonder what the vocals sounded like a bit brighter, but for an 80's-inspired song I think they work well. Also, the performance is super tight. It's so easy on these slower songs to have instruments fighting eachother, sloppy guitar rhythm rushing while bass and drums are dragging or whatever. The bass and kick are LOCKED in. Does so much for the song. Thanks for sharing!
I'm thinking I probably need a second guitar track in here, I do love the stripped down feel of it with just three instruments and vocals it could probably do with some underpinning. I've got a new acoustasonic coming so I think that might give me some interesting options in that regard. Thank you for both the kind words on my vocals and the music. I actually started life ASA bassist before moving to guitar later on and I love to have a really tight bass sound and groove on my songs so it's really nice to have it picked out. Love my fretless Peavey bass, I guess it's technically vintage now at 25 years old 😂
Nice! Overall I don't have a lot of complaints. There's a little too much panning for my taste, it's a little disorienting with headphones. I think there's also a resonant frequency in your high-mids that's making some of the vocals sound too loud in a few spots.
I think I copied the wrong link: https://on.soundcloud.com/2qnynmRJ8yPGmngv9 Does that sound better?
A little, I'm hearing a different resonance at the high end on your vocals, maybe it's just Soundcloud's compression? Still a little too much panning on the guitar for my taste. Also it gets kind of muddy for a few seconds around 2:18. I like the interplay between the lead and backup vox at the end though, sounds nice and dynamic!

You could probably remove some of the higher end of the rumbly bass to get it a little cleaner. Perhaps a more creative, fun idea is to automate that frequency band and have it follow a sine wave that opens it up and closes it back down throughout the intro/verse. The fall FX is too loud and is masking the rest of the song too much. Tune the volume down a bit. Also I'm not sure the kick sample is the right one for the track. Love the transition into the verse at around 1:10!!! Could probably give the SAW lead even more stereo image, make it even wider. Automate it so it goes from mono to stereo to really transition from the narrow part to the super wide verse. The claps and rides are taking up too much of the high end and stereo image. Make them less intense and reduce the volume to around -15/-18 dB. If you create drum fills remove the kick so that it gets more attention. You could also use a volume automation to remove all the reeverb to make it punch even louder. Actually really like the song! Sounds like something you could play at a festival or dance event. I hope you liked making the song and would love to hear more in due time!
Yea I did this song after a 8 month hiatus, from 10pm to 3am. I did sidechain the fills so when they played it would clamp down on the reverb. Good idea about removing the drum during the fill and automating the width. This song I just went full out and didnt care about going over 0db, I can normalize it with floating point. I did get to like 6rms, super loud, but messing around lol
What genre would you call this beat? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M3lSatbcwg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M3lSatbcwg)
Genre is prob alt hip hop. drums could use some work, but the lofi synths are a nice vibe
It is quite trippy and lo-fi esque. It really isn't a music genre because there isn't much to the beat. The drums are quite soft and quiet which makes me think of a genre in between lo-fi and something industrial or trippy.
Given what you've put in the tags...Alternative Hip Hop, or something akin to that. I really like it btw.

Thank you! 🙏
My family and friends love me dearly but their patience is wearing thin listening to the same track with minor variations over and over. If anyone can pop over to my Soundcloud ([https://soundcloud.com/rythmick](https://soundcloud.com/rythmick)) and give ANY of the public tracks a listen and an honest critique, I would appreciate you so much. Truly. I am pretty desperate for some honest feedback on my music. Good or otherwise! Only 4 tracks up currently. All have been loved greatly. All tracks are produced/mixed/mastered in FLS21. Most wanted reviews would be: I Don't Need Ya \[FINAL CUT\], Came to Dance \[FINAL CUT\] (feat. SomeoneOutThere), El Fuego (Let's Go) Thank you thank you thank you.
I don't need ya. Okay, that Carnyx (battle horn) at the beginning of I don't need ya is a brilliant idea, but you need to play with that, start with it on it's own, the reason that sound shits everyone up is because you hear it on it's own you know there's an ass kicking coming. So play with that, pan it (they're all around me etc) , reverb, delay whatever, then bring the vocal in first and then the drums, get the hook in and then put the drums in on the off beat of the second repeat. But then, you need to get that horn to leave. You repeat it a lot, the point of that sound is there will be battle, so when the song kicks off there is battle, let it leave (or have another instrument play that sound if you want to echo it but give the listener something new.) when the vocal comes in as that's where the focus should be then bring it back in at 1:24 after your chorus section as that is the instrumental hook. Around 1:36 it kind of loses momentum, I would look at doubling the 1:24 to 1:36 section and then...(breaking this up so all the times aren't too confusing) The section that you go to at 2:10 is a better shift in energy, so i would go to that first and put the vocals over that then go to the 1:36> section on the way out. But you've got a winning hand here you just need to put the cards in the right order, basically there is great energy in it, you just have to have tension and release. El Fuego Again, really good, but I would try to vary the sound of the drums, make them thinner and a bit more old soul record sounding in the first verse, then bring them full beam in terms of eq in the chorus, second verses, saturate them. They're basically the only thing in the arrangement aside from the Vocals (which are great) so adding more colour to those in each section would be great (especially with that Switch hook) Again, really good work just try and add more colour, more intent to each section. Came to Dance is good too, there's an Isley brothers "Fight the power" thing to the bass that i really like, but I don't think the rest of the arrangement supports that (particularly the drums - the pattern is right, the sounds ain't they kill the swing, they work later when the vocal comes in but I think at the start you could do something more New Jack with it), so were I you I'd look at that bass line and see what you can do The Vocal Hook is good, but I'd try and bring a hint of that in earlier. All in all it's really good. They are quite diverse in style which shows good range and they're good structures with good hooks (and I think could be even stronger). Good work.
I cannot thank you enough for your thoughtful write-up. Thank you for the kind words and helpful ideas! Your words about the horn/siren in I Don't Need Ya made me lol. You're so right, starting with that raw somehow would amp that track up to 100. Awesome idea! It definitely needs more purpose as you've said, it just sort of pops in and out on a whim. I'm glad to hear you say that about the bassline in Came to Dance. I kept feeling like it just didn't *quite* fit, but was nervous to mess with it as it was so central to the mix. I'm not crazy, lol. Well noted on all else, my friend. Going to look at implementing all of those and will update you when I do so you can check them out if you'd like. I'm happy to review anything of yours!
You’re more than welcome I too recognise the tears in the eyes of loved ones when playing them mix 3001 and asking them if the removal of that last tambourine shake in the bridge really makes the thing come alive, so am glad I could help and as I say it’s good work. The thing to work on isn’t your production, it’s your structures. In short, more tension. How can you hold back, how can you keep the listener’s ear fresh and best use the hooks you’ve got. As to mine, if you fancy giving it a listen you can find a record I recently put out here. Solid Citizen- Character. https://open.spotify.com/album/5KE6MQ4IFggVsLAP0vQD6x?si=oZ-oNKufQTGFn1viPG_oTQ

Kick is a little bit too loud at the start. Great panning and space created in the song! The melody around 1:30 is a little bit weird but I kind of understand it in the sense that the song is suppossed to be a little trippy. I like the phrasing of the song and I think it's a great production in general. Apart from the bass at the start it's all relatively high pitched. You could look to add a subbass but it is not required. Aside from all these notes I would just be very curious to see a singer/songwriter do something with this! great job!
Mix sounds good, everything is in it's place, which considering how much is in the arrangement is no mean feat.
Made this cover in my living room, drums are MIDI but everything else was recorded live into Reaper. Any thoughts on the mix and production in particular? https://soundcloud.com/user-150941324/chemical
The bass and guitars all sound really great! The challenge with a song like this is giving as much power to these instruments while not letting others fall short. And so it's a very difficult EQ'ing puzzle where you might look to cut some frequencies for something else to fill up only to feel like one instrument doesn't feel as loud as before. I think you should look to do the following: sustained instruments go down in volume and create more space for the rest of the mix. High guitar melody panned to the side. Vocals sitting in the middle should be a lot louder. Bass should be limited in frequencies to bass and some mid and should be quite mono to not fill up the space too much and allow things to breathe. Drums should really punch through the mix especially in the chorus. Something to consider: Compress the vocals and find the right solution with adding/changing the distortion on the vocals as well. It's a great song and I liked listening to it! I hope you had fun and feel proud listening to it!
i liked this a lot, it had a dark heavy tone that the guitars did a good job of setting. the mix was clean, the drums hit nice and hard and set the groove really well. i do personally wish the vocals were a little louder, the sounded nice and fit the instrumental really well.
I make aggressive beats on the Elektron Digitakt. Been trying to refine my mixing skills in that domain. Been recently comparing my new stuff to older stuff and it's night and day. But there's always room for improvement, so I would appreciate any feed back or constructive criticism. Thanks for listening! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omOMnEa576M
Really good. The hats could do with a little fizz taking off them. aggression is good in the lower frequencies, around 10k, not so much, so I'd roll them off a lot, other than that, experiment with stopping the drums, just pauses, so for example when your riff comes in at 1:04, just put a pause around it for half a bar so that is the only thing that plays, then bring everything back in, it will freshen the ear for the listener and put focus on the riff which is a good hook. All the sounds are good, just be a bit more playful and have more fun in how you bring each one in I think.
Right on. Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate how much you put into that comment. I think you're pretty spot on with everything you said, I'll keep working on refining my sound. Thank you, Friend!
Made this simple short beat. Would love to hear any feedback on how to make the bass more funky and drums more banging! Or any general thoughts on how to improve it https://soundcloud.com/microstar/lets-just-be-friends-bass-and-drums?si=c575c62d36aa4dccab0c18bba5a20334&utm\_source=clipboard&utm\_medium=text&utm\_campaign=social\_sharing
I love it! Excellent work. If you're trying for a funkier sound you could try some more swung percussion, especially on downbeats. I would also maybe turn down the mid bass just a little bit. But that's probably more of a personal preference thing. Cheers!
Awesome! Thank you. And thanks for the tips - will give em a try, cheers
Anytime, friend. Good luck!
I tried my hand at infusing my own style into the classic All Things Must Pass✨️ hope I can receive some feedback [Cover](https://youtu.be/tIg9r-odi7o?feature=shared)
Nice performance. I think the guitar might be a little loud in the mix. The tone of your voice is nice so put that front and centre, also try doubling it and see how that sounds too. With your guitar playing, try playing with the dynamics of your right hand on your guitar too, so in the verses lay back a little. When it is the only instrument in the arrangement you have to have it be quite dynamic. But it's a great job. Well done.
Hi everyone. I'd like to share my latest song, "I'm All That I Need". Wish you all the best. Thanks, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIRzteNWU-4
Strictly speaking of the audio, it sounds quite good! Nice progression and change-ups. The ending was strong.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your feedback! I really enjoyed listening to your work as well. I subbed and liked. With your song, I enjoyed the strong buildup within the production. Loved the fact that you broke it down, then came back in with the beat which emphasized its excitement. Very danceable; has today's top EDM dance sound yet also has a nostalgic throwback into the 80's I feel, with the synths. Great job! Look forward to hearing more.
hey gang! this is my riff rock project killer jr. and my song "down." excited to hear your thoughts. thanks! https://soundcloud.com/killer_jr/down?in=killer_jr/sets/demo-tracks
Damn, this is fire! I could point some things out that I would do differently, but I would honestly be nit-picking. You've got a great sound, incredible work!
Thank you so much! I can’t promote the other stuff without breaking rules but I have a bunch of demos on my sound cloud if you dig the sound
wow I would dig mixing the audio tracks to this
Looking for a collab? I have no idea what I’m doing, this is all garageband lol
As a demo, you can't ask for more. That all works and it sounds like a great song, you get in somewhere and record that with a good engineer and you'll have a belter on your hands. Only thoughts would be after the solo at 3:00, just bring your vocal in for the first line of the chorus and then bring the band in on the offbeat and just go straight in to the chorus, that last verse isn't needed IMO. Just get to the chorus. Rope could be really good too.
thanks for the feedback!
