Looking for some responses (good or bad) for my new instrumental demo.

Hi all.

I have just written a demo track called misty lake (name will probably be changed) and I would like to hear some comments regarding it.
Also looking for someone who could write & record a vocal for it if possible & maybe start working together on some collaborations?

Message me if interested.

thanks.

Hey!
So I listened to this.. and I like the composition.
Here are my immediate responses. Please don't take them the wrong way. It's not personal. And maybe not even constructive.. but they are my reactions

a- those keyboards sound super fake.
b- those drums sound super fake.
c- the guitar.. I like the tone, but the playing is really square. Like the gate at the end chops it and it is fully not rock n roll. It sounds like dad-rock. That amp is NOT about to explode.
d- The strings actually DON'T sound super fake. So that's good!

Overall- as a DEMO, it is probably fine.
But it is, IMO, not ready for anything past that.
The composition is good though! It can work.. but it sounds like a computer is playing it. Which it probably is

And I dont sing sry.

Moved this thread to the MP3 clinic where it is a better fit.

I liked the comp as well. Maybe decrease those sizzling HH down a tad. Good midi simulators/programs are quite expensive and if you don't invest in them, they will always sound fake.

Wow Thanks guys. It was all played in Logic X, no loops were used but I do tend to quantize everything to the ninth degree, so maybe that's why it sounds less "fluid" than it could. I usually write more dance/electronic oriented music that requires absolute timing so writing something like this is a rarity for me. I haven't picked up a guitar in around 4 years and my playing isn't great As for dad rock, I am 51 Seriously though the comments are interesting as they have made me think.
Thanks.
