Thanks for your comment! I can see what you mean, yes. I have been posting demos of this material ever since I got the ideas for this album, so maybe I thought this would be a good opportunity to close the book here. This is indeed finished. It is a product of where I stand right now. It could...

So based on the help and feedback of forums over the last 4 years, I have finally finished my album. I have already demo-ed some of the songs on homerecording.org before, but these questions were mostly audio-quality-related. I am now looking for any feedback on the sound of it. I would...

Thanks for the replies. I'm not really expecting any return on my investment. I just thought those big distribution sites would make it easier for people to actually listen to some of my songs. But appearantly not, I guess? Maybe I'll just stick with bandcamp. I'm now looking at the...

Hey guys, I hope this is the right sub for this question. I see a lot of people just asking for feedback on their songs, but I would strictly like your advice on possible music distribution platforms. I'm a small time musician, and have been making music for some time now. I am finishing up an...

Does anyone have some new feedback maybe? Did the mixes improve in quality? I'm trying to finalize it, so I can complete putting together the album :)

I have now tweaked some of the things mentioned here in the songs. I've uploaded them to soundcloud again here. I spent most time working on the vocals and the drums. I especially raised the volume of the snare in most of the mixes. The vocals are now pretty de-essed. Also, I got rid of some...

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I'm also guilty of overdoing reverb. I guess it started way back when I was a worse singer and guitar player. Then a reverb tends to mask/hide errors. As I've become a better player and singer, I kept using maybe a little too much reverb. But then again, I think it...

Thanks for the lesson. That is totally clear. But in the example of a harsh tone, if I find the harsh sounds at a frequency of 2000 Hz, I'm not sure how/if that means that that same harshness can also be found in octaves up and down (1000 Hz, 4000 Hz, 8000 Hz). But I'll see what I can find on...

Haha, I think you convinced me there. I will at least reduce the level in between vocal lines. But don't you think at least the breathing is part of it? It always sounds a little static if I can not hear inhaling in between lines. Great tip about the reverbs on drums. On some of the songs, I...

I see what you mean, the drums do add a lot to the mix there. I will first simply try raising the volumes of the drum tracks, and see if that already changes a lot. I will post updates here soon, hopefully. Thank you very much for the compliment and the feedback!

Thanks, it is clear to me now that I have to get rid of them. Too much must be annoying, indeed. This song was one of the hardest for me to do vocally, as the chorus pushes my vocal ranges a little. I'm very interested in your explanation, could you help me with the 862 Hz/ 1724 Hz theory? Is...

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your insight. Always interesting to read about other peoples work methods. If I understand correctly, you apply compressing to the drum tracks to raise the overall/average volume a little? As in, the peaks will remain the same volume, but you are able to raise the volume of another...

Yes, I´m definitely going to raise the volume on the drums on some places. Do you personally use any other plug-ins to get the sound that you want from EZDrummer? Thank you very much for your kind words. Much appreciated!!!

I have heard that before. A good friend of mine who is quite serious in recording/studios/sound engineering can not get over the sound of the drums. They are too "weak". I have to agree, to a degree, as I've only got the nice samples of EZDrummer. I have applied Plug&Mix's Analoguer to try and...

Thanks for the reply, Much appreciated! Does the volume of the vocals bother you? On all three songs? As for the drums, I use a lot of stick drums early on in songs, where I leave out the snare but use the stick sound in EZDrummer. I do this do create some tension, so that once the snare joins...

Hey guys, So lately I have finally found some time again to record music, and I'm proud to say that I have finished recording 10 songs. I have already started recording these way back in 2013 (I was also posting here for feedback at that time lol, some things never change). I have been working...

Hi guys, sorry that I haven't replied for a while. It has been a busy month.. Found some time to work on the tune again, and I'm loving all the feedback. New version: https://soundcloud.com/hugo-huijer/small-lapse-of-silence-1 Re-recorded the entire acoustics. Remixed a few parts. Saturized...

Hi guys, Thanks for this feedback so far! It's helping me tons! I did some work on the mix now. - I re-recorded the acoustic guitar. It indeed sounded really boxy, without much detail. Used a different room setup and mic placement and the difference is huge imo. I think it's a lot better now...

Hi all. I'm kind of new to this forum. Had a little break in recording, but now trying to start again. This song is the first result, and I'm really curious to know what others think about it, both audio and song-wise. Bands like Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Fleet Foxes are a big influence to me...
