I'll just copy what I put in the description, and then some.
I made it less minimalistic, which probably won't go down well with my GCSE's because for my Area Of Study it cannot be a dance track. Still, its very nice to listen to and hopefully I'll get away with it. :D
Its worth waiting for 1:00 when the kit comes in, I'm quite proud of what I did to this comp personally.
Streetlights virtually finished now, was considering a section with a key change but frankly I don't feel it needs it. I'm posting this in WIP section just in case I change my mind.
Here's a rough demo of a song we're working on. In fact it's just the song idea, not even a finished demo. Sounds rough as guts to me (vocals one take etc), but we ended up entering it in a competition (last minute) to get funding here in New Zealand to make a music video and record it properly.
If you like the sound of the track, It's be great if you could vote for it at this site. Real Life
Also if you play the song from the website it also counts as a vote.
Otherwise, just let me know what you think of the song.
Rough demo here. Layered everything (acoustic guitar and vocals). Some timing is off on both the vocals and guitar. But it was terribly fun to throw together. Heavy melodies, deep lyrics (hopefully. They are deep to me). Hope you enjoy this version.
Something fresh off the waffle iron -- full on 70s powerpop! Still trying to figure out how to sing it.
well, I liked your tune. I kinda hated the verb, though. I think that if you tighten up the vox performance a bit, you will be set. For some reason, this tune reminds me of a Japanese anime. I don't know which one, though. Maybe it's the chord progression...

Nice song, good work. I'm not loving the verb on the piano. A great effort for last minute though!
A.
p.s. Good luck with the funding. NZ funding has got so commercial which is a bummer.

Thanks -- which reverb did you hate? The vocal plate on the voice or the tiny bit of room on everything else? Apart from the voice it's very, very dry. I guess you might be hearing a bit of the room, which is mostly a single early reflection off a back wall and some off the hardwood floor.
you know, listening again, the verb on the voice doesn't bother me as much once the band comes in. In all honesty, I tend to lean towards drier vox sounds. So, I'm a bit biased on this one anyway.
The main issue is probably that cymbal/tambourine on the left. Something weird about it. It's kinda nasty sounding... Maybe it's a conversion or rendering (Soundcloud?) problem. Actually, it's not just the cymbal. When I go back and listen to the very beginning, I hear it on the verb used for the vox.
There is a Haas delay on the tambourine, that might be it. It's got a 10ms delay that is panned hard to the other side to try and give it a bit more presence. I wasn't really sure about it but I think I just forgot it when I got wrapped up in the rest of the mix.
At the beginning I think it's just a vanilla Rverb plate on the vox, about 7% or so. No delay at all. I'll go back and listen to it. And there might not be any reverb at all on anything else.
curious as to what you guys think of these teen/power pop tunes I made last week. feedback is greatly appreciated. (I'm by no means a good singer so this is what I've come up with to effectively and creatively share my more vulnerable artistic side)
any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, the songs won't be up long as they aren't finished.

Sweet little tune. Some of the instruments (elec. guitar, organ) seem a little distant and distract my ears a bit, but that might just be the way you are supposed to mic them, I don't know. Solid.
Wrote this this weekend, it's just 2 acoustics and a bass so far...nice, happy song about a daughter visiting her father's deathbed. Had to keep it up tempo and light because the lyrics are a bit of a downer. Not sure if drums or just percussion are in the picture for it, wrote some piano for it, but it was just too busy.

Hey JJ33,
Thanks man, no I actually feel the same way now after a few days has past. I will definitely see if I can do something about this. I´m not very much of a mixer though. Hohho.. we´ll see.
I glad you like it, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed but now I feel much better! Thanks! I Appreciate your input!
Probably gonna make almost everyone on the forum's ears Bleed, but its what I like writing and performing, and therefore would like to hear some opinions other than
"Its S!@T cause its cheesy" :D :D :D

Hope you like it, or don't hate it too much !
Hi. Really nice vocals. Other than that I think it sounds like a country song with an odd sounding arrangement and not enough verses

Hi Thanks very much. Was listening a lot to Shania Twain's "Come on Over" and "Up" albums at the time of writing (probably get lynched for linking ST with country).
Never been a fond lover of verses, dont think I've ever written a song with 3 or more, but I think I gotta start to add some form of substance to my songs.
Never had the ability to write anything overly meaningful or groundbreaking. Just catchy 3 minute songs about various girls/situations that I come across.
Really dig the weird muted warbly organ / e guitar sounds. Sounds good in general. Maybe a couple of spots to punch in the vocal where the pitch is off at the end of a phrase.
It's great when the cajon comes in! A couple of e guitar stabs are a bit loud, so maybe some compression or limiting or automation on that track.
Really enjoyed the track in general! Accessible but plenty of inventive little flourishes to maintain interest.
here's something fresh off the press. really proud of the solos here. thoughts welcome!
Great energy and good sass in the solos! Maybe a bit long for what it is. I could see stringing it out live to give the crowd time to rock out, but could probably shave a minute or so off the recorded version. Not that I didn't enjoy the full 4 minutes.
