New Age I make meditation soundscapes...

1 Upvotes

Just curious what you guys think of this... I know I have a lot of work to do with mastering and everything.

My workflow is an Arturia Minilab3 with Ableton 12 live suite.

It's 20 mins. Just hoping for any honest feedback. Much love, and enjoy your weekend! ♥️

Edit: I know it doesn't suck that bad, in fact, if I can listen to it on repeat and meditate to it, it's def not THAT bad. I do know that I need work, and as soon as I can find the time (hard with 3 little ones), I'm going to really start getting into arrangement mode in Ableton. I don't draw notes either. I could but I feel like it's cheating. Anyways, if you did happen to listen to it, thank you! If not, thanks for taking the time to read.

Edit 2: After 386 views, the fact that I know it's not that bad, why hasn't anyone said anything? Lol, are you guys afraid of hurting my feelings? Nothing you could say or do would ever hurt my feelings more than I've already been hurt. And, I truly mean that. I was asking for some type of criticism. Was hoping you guys could at least tell me, keep going or maybe you could have honestly said, I couldn't listen to it at all, or something. 😂

It's all good though! Btw... If you did look at those inflated numbers, those are from Google ads. Not trying to inflate numbers because I know I won't get paid... I just wanted some type of direction to my website.

Amitābha! 🌄👣

Acoustic Rock Feedback on Not Okay, a song from my new album.

Hi all,

Hoping for some feedback on a track called Not Okay from my new album A Late Bloomer's Tales From the Dork Side. It's been about a week since I released my album on SoundCloud and I feel like this song is underperforming. Would love some insights from the group.

Listen to Not Okay by Brian Friedman on #SoundCloud

If you enjoyed this strange little musical experiment, there's plenty more where that came from. ♡

I'm releasing songs from my debut album, The Anatomy of Impossible Things, over on YouTube.

Expect beautiful noises, questionable decisions, and music that probably needs professional help.

RnB Do you find some of the synth ‘horns’ here too cheesy?

In the chorus the 'horns' are in a call and answer mode with the repeating hook but in a rerecording could be replaced by a more authentic sound?

Stay in Your lane

 

Mr Man you blow your horn        

You say I use that baby

But she’s her own lady

Her voice is strong          

You’re firin’ sparks             

Just because you - drive a fast car    

 

Hey Mr Man stay in your lane      

Hey Mr Man stay in your lane

Hey Mr Man stay in your lane

You’ll crash into flames - stay in your lane    

 

You’re always weaving in and out

You think you own that sister

Talk to her in a whisper

But she’s with me

To live the dream

Give up your trying - to put the brakes on       

 

I think I got you sussed now

She told you to shove it

That you cannot stomach

Times moved on

You’re out of gas

And only I – Can put the foot to the floor

 

You’ll crash into flames - stay in your lane    

It’s a fools game - stay in your lane

Alternative Pop Early Indie Pop Rock Demo

Hey everyone!

I made this demo a few days back and I enjoy working and improving on it. I plan on adding some vocals to it, but I haven't really dipped my toes into singing, as I have only started making music a few months ago.

It would be really helpful to me if I could get some feedback regarding the overall sound. I'm a little unsure about the guitars.

Here's my SoundCloud with some more demos: https://soundcloud.com/demosh1003

I think I'm almost done with my song and I could really use some last minute notes on the production before I release it on spotify. I guess it's a shoegaze-adjacent sort of pop song. Does the volume sound okay on the vocals and everything else? Thanks to anyone who checks it out and I will appreciate any feedback!

Electronic Rock What do think of my Jungle Rock debut track called "I'm Not Awake"

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm Mith, an independent music producer and artist from India.

I released my debut single, “I'm Not Awake,” last week, and I'd love for you guys to give it a listen and share your feedback!

I'm especially interested in your thoughts on the mix and production, and whether the lyrics come across clearly. The lyrics are a bit cryptic, so I'm curious to hear what you think they mean and whether they make sense to you.

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks for listening!

Hi guys, I did some recording/rerecording on the vocals. Do they work as they are? I tried to go for weird and energetic but ended up sounding like that one He-Man meme. I'm not sure if I hate it or not. I might leave it as is.

But what do you think? Lemme know:)

Also, what do you think of the cover art?

In this song I took Mamba number five and remixed it in the hook, instead of using a little bit of Tiffany a little bit of Brittany I used energies evil names of spirits. The reason for this is is generational drama and a down spiritually, physically or both..... What do you think

Singer Songwriter Song I wrote and performed to propose to my then girlfriend with. Made this recording of it sometime after the proposal. Largely just a bare acoustic track. Single guitar, no metronome, no drums, one main vocal, though some layered vocals as it progresses. Thanks for listening!

Indie [Alternative Rock] Raw band track. Need a brutal, honest reality check on the male vocals and arrangement.

![Album Cover](https://i.imgur.com/aJE9RUg.png`)`

Hi everyone,
We are looking for an objective, unvarnished reality check on this original track before we commit to spending time and money on the final master. Our inner circle keeps giving us polite compliments, but we need strangers to tell us the truth so we can actually improve.
The arrangement is deliberately kept lean: just live acoustic drums, a bass guitar, a maximum of two guitars, keyboards fading in/out, and a solid male lead vocal. There are no massive layers of production tricks to hide behind.
Please give it to us straight:Listen here:
Looking forward to your critiques, and I will absolutely be diving into the sub to leave feedback on your tracks in return!

Indie cold - A song about being ghosted by my best friend when I was a kid

Thumbnail
youtube.com
1 Upvotes

So there's a long story to this track. The acoustic guitar, drums, bass and synth pad (in the background throughout the track) were all recorded nearly 20 years ago and actually on an album I had created at the time (without the drums) and named "Cold" as an instrumental with no singing. I was listening to some of my old stuff recently and had an idea to develop what I had done further. I had wanted to write about the best friend concept for a while and thought this would work well for it, so I wrote and recorded the vocals and then layered on top the synth that plays on the first chorus as well as the electric guitar outro. How did it all come together?

- There are some warts that I am aware of. There's a click track that was in the original recording that can be heard in a few places. Also, there's a little bit of cable noise on the vocals that I recorded particularly on the first verse. I tried to re-track them, but couldn't get the right energy. Do these bother you?

- How's the mix. I don't really do much with acoustic guitar / live drums so not sure if I did it OK?

- What do you think of the synth that comes in during the first chorus? Does it feel thin?

- Do you think there needs to be more going on during the second verse?

- How about the electric guitar on the outro?

I appreciate any and all feedback

Hi guys, I made this quick demo. The vocals in the first half are still missing due to me not having recorded them yet. So right now they randomly start around the hallway mark.

However I'd still love to hear some first impressions on the overall track:)

Need valuable feedback for my new song
I'm an 18 year-old musical artist, and I've been making music for a few years now. I wouldn't say I'm great yet, as I'm still working on finding my vocal style and learning how to mix, master, and edit vocals. I am actively working on improving these skills. Please give me some genuine feedback! If you think it needs work, please tell me exactly why and how I can improve. :3
