New here but would love some feedback on this track, from any perspective (writing, arrangement, production, etc.). Thanks in advance!
Good work, there are plenty of good things here. The guitar is pretty loud. And it has been compressed so much that some parts that are usually at a lower level stick out, such as little quick strums. It takes the forward motion out of the song.
The feel change at :43 is a bit unexpected from what you played in the intro. Which can be fine, but it wasn't played strong enough to convince the me it was a good direction to go. Its a good hook though. Just keep practicing.

This sounds like a band of musicians played it. How rare!
I like it just for that.
Keep up the good work.

I won't use pitch correcting software. I use "coaching" maybe you've heard of it. It keeps working even when you don't have it on.

Hey guys, here is the latest from my 'Speak Softly' project.
Comments welcome and appreciated.
you can download for free from Bandcamp if you feel inclined. (link below)

This is cool! Really like the atmospherics!
I'll offer this: the vocals get a little buried in the mix during the chorus. I think putting a pre-delay on the vocal reverb would help provide more definition to the vocals overall, however I like the delay used on the bridge.
Hey everyone we are a Producer/songwriting team checkout our demo's they are all written, produced and mixed by ourselves. We would love to see what you guys think!!
Thanks man! Actually running the drums thru the saturator on Softube's Focusing EQ. Squeezes the crap out of everything and makes it juicy...use sparingly though lol..
Here's another one we're throwing in contention...mellowed it out a bit:
Warning: the following post contains music which implies a stoopid namby pamby softie, spiritual, out-dated, un-professional, conspiratorial, naff, girly and un-trendy anachronistic political world view. You have been warned.
My friends and I made this little song to try and see what we could do to help move things in what we perceive is the 'right' direction. I hope some of you might like it.
We have put the song and recording out there for all to use 100% free of charge so we have no financial axe to grind here; there are no t-shirts or concert tickets to sell - we really just want to try and make this a better world for everyone here, and as musicians/writers this is what felt right to do. And yes, I am fully aware that this view is just about as outdated as the music itself ;-)
Thanks for a great forum. 10 years, eh? Time really does fly..!!
much love,
Preben
P.S. If you'd like a CD quality audio file (well, as good as it gets from my hand anyway!) of the song, you can pick it up here: https://www.yousendit.com/download/QlVo ... YU81eDhUQw

Thanks for your comments,it's not the first time I have heard that. But I think it's part of the style.
but then again the music should define the parameters of the mix. Which i think i have done. So it interesting that people often have a different point of view.

Hi. Very, very pro and contemporary sound. Singer sound a lot like Usher, wich may or may not be a good thing. im kinda missin some dynamics by way of a bigger contrast between verse and chorus. Its pop. The chorus is king. Treat it like a king
Thankyou for the comment. The vocalist is karim (the other AMPLiTUNE, theres two of us). The vocal is only for reference, we don't intend on releasing the tracks ourselves we write and produce for other artists.
My daughters latest demo. Jordan Grace. She's looking for representation. She just turned 15. Hit me up.
Sorry I've been away from this thread for a while..It's been an EXTREMELY busy summer to say the least!!!
Anyway, your daughter is sounding good if not a bit nasally tone-wise but I expect that to even out with maturity. She's got good pitch and enunciation as well
Only thing I could say is that she needs to work on dynamically selling the song a bit better..Bringing the emotion up and down but for a 15 year old she's really good man!! She's on the path for sure.

Vocal style is that slacker-hipster, almost monotone that yes, Ben Folds pioneered and perfected that led to an entire generation of kids singing like that. As an accomplished vocalist I have to say it works for Ben Folds and really NO ONE ELSE. My advice would be to start listening to soul music and branch out a bit. Use dynamics, timing, feel, tone and everything you can do to convey MORE emotion. Just my advice.
As for the tune. Not bad man..Pretty decent for that style. You must be young right? Either way, keep working, keep stretching and keep moving forward...Have fun and keep rockin!
