Oh wow, such kind words. So glad you liked it! It was so fun to see her so excited to make it! She’s sitting at the piano right now working on the next tune :)

I had that same thought about the rhythm guitars. I didn’t think the bass was very bright, but I’ll take a look. I appreciate the feedback!

Thanks, she’s having such a great time making music…and so fun to collaborate with her and teach her about song writing/recording! Really fun!

New original tune my 13 yo daughter came up with: Reaching for the Moon She wrote the song, sang, played bass, and added keys I played drums and guitars. Fun project to do together!

Cool, I liked the subject matter. Well executed. Very digital feel which I think is the point! Only critique would be to cut some low-mid mud to make things a little clearer and let it breathe if that makes sense. Enjoyed it, nice work!

I wish I was almost 30!

That’s funny, I looked up 29 and there are several meanings out there I’d never heard of. In fact, I didn’t know it had any meaning other than, well a number. Fortunately nothing too crazy! Not sure which you’re alluding to! One was “a moderator might be watching”. My favorite was: 2.9 is less...

Thanks for the comments and suggestions! I also thought it was a bit awkward, I tried a couple other things and thought “oh well” and went with it! The drum machine at the beginning was just there to record my scratch tracks…to later record real drums over. Then I got so used to it being there...

Hey HR folks! I wrote these lyrics in the depths of winter… 29 (Longest February)…’cause leap year made winter EVEN LONGER this year, get it?! Ok, yeah! Anyways… I just got a chance to write and record the music yesterday. It’s the old “long winter, moving into spring” motif. Some familiar...

I really enjoyed this! I only had one thought. Maybe cut a little low mids (250-400k?) from the main vocals. Might sound slightly more “old-timey” and not so round…if that makes sense. But sounds beautiful as-is…love it!

Sounded great to me. Nice guitar chops! I would probably double track and hard pan that rhythm guitar, then put that lead up front and center. Sounds great Also, that Sincerity track came up right after…cool tune!

Cool feel/vibe! The lead guitars should have a little more “bite” in the upper mids so they jump out a little more. Also, I think the vocal double should be a little lower in the mix to support, but not overtake, the main vocal. Maybe short delay on the vocal double (and make the delays panned...

I just eq, compress, and pan individual tracks. I’ve never used a M/S EQ; I’m a total amateur! I need to learn more about it. I’ll see if I have any plugins that would work. Which do you use? Edit: I just did a search. Looks like the EQ 8 in Ableton has a M/S mode. I’ll dive into that and...

I appreciate the feedback! By “widening in the top end” do you mean a little more top end in the panned instruments (drum overheads and rhythm guitars)? Thank you!

Tha Thanks, I really do appreciate all the comments. It’s so hard to judge your own music that you’ve heard one hundred times. It’s impossible to listen objectively. I’ll make some changes with I have some time this weekend.

I’ll play with that, thanks. The snare and kick are compressed pretty good, but there’s always more room. I do start to fight the cymbals when compressing the snare too much. A balancing act. I have only a touch of reverb on the drums. Put a convolution reverb on to hide the room sound…I can...

Real drums, no replacement or samples…I figured my sloppy playing would give it away! It’s been a real struggle trying to get a good drum sound in a small room…but I’m determined! Is there a specific aspect of the drums that could use some attention in the mix? EQ? Volume of an individual part...

Thanks, I appreciate the comments. Ideas to make the mix sound less narrow? Is it an EQ issue? Or main vocal a little too loud? Thanks. I’m guilty of long intros!

I wrote and rock-corded this last week. Lyrics are about a recurring nightmare had when I was a little kid, lol! Kind of slower pop punk/alternative. Curious how this one sounds on your end. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks for listening!

I didn’t do a real critical listen on my little Bose Bluetooth speaker, but everything sounded clear. Nothing jumped out as strange. Great vocals. Nice work!
