    How do you get over the critical comment about your musical ability?

    I know it happens a lot to all of us here, who chase our own dreams about music. Actually, I used to be a mainstream songwriter based in Japan. But I quit my agency for a couple months since I can't stand the iniquity of them in the credits. So I start all over by myself. Now I have the problem...

    (Again) An old-school love song! :'(

    I'd been working on this song for a while but too shy to public it on here. :p I kept on writing an old-school love song like forever. I'd listened to a lot of 80's Japanese love songs, so guess those songs inspired me so much. Please take a listen and tell me what do you think about it. Thank...

    I am a songwriter, but I am not sure if I can sing...

    Thank you for your feedback! Actually, I am very new to vocals. I have tried to looking for vocalists to do my songs justice but still can't find one, so I decided to sing it. I am really confused about my singing voice. I did post this song on the other sub-forum to get feedback. And once...

    I am a songwriter, but I am not sure if I can sing...

    Hi there, I am a songwriter. At the moment, I can't find a singer to collaborate with, so I decided to sing the songs by myself. So I really want to get the feedback about my singing voice. In this recording, my voice is nearly bare because I don't take much time on editing for a demo version...

    Is my song too "Asian Pop"?

    I know most of you guys will get in and tell me racist. But the truth is I am Asian. I'm just working on a project and want to get feedback if some nations in the world like it or not. This is my first work, and I hope you guys will make comments as much as you can. Your feedback is gonna make...

    Cello sounds too heavy?

    Thanks for all the feedback. I'd removed the track.

    Cello sounds too heavy?

    Actually I recorded cello then backed up by synth strings and added a church reverb effect. As you guys just told me, I think I should back off the reverb.

    Cello sounds too heavy?

    I'd recorded a cello piece. Since I have no experience about mixing cello, I think the cello sounds too heavy and too dark. I'd cut the bass a little bit, but still sounds too "ohm". I'm afraid if I cut it too much it won't sound like cello anymore. Anyone give me some idea or trick here? Please...

    Mixing Orchestra (Thoughts?)

    About the strings, you should try more slow strings to soften your sound. Strings play the melody or climax, you should mix them wih more violins (played by real player is a good idea, the tips are all around Youtube). Nice song anyway! ;)

    How to boost music from a live recording?

    My friends and audiences had recorded many of my live performance, but most of them are pretty noisy. I tried to cut and refine the sounds by boosting the middle in EQ but it doesn't work really well. Any tips? P/S: I've just worked on this one but the talking voice at the begining really...

    I can't sing or people are full of hate?

    Thank you for all the feedback. I'd removed my video due to the intricacy out of my control. I appreciate all of your replies, and no matter how harsh some people did to me, I'm still keen on singing.

    I can't sing or people are full of hate?

    Have someone noticed that I did press the Thanks button on every post that complimented me?

    I can't sing or people are full of hate?

    Dear Armistic, as I did say and always say, I love singing. That's why I made youtube channel to post my videos. And yes, my question is to clear whether I can sing or not. And, IT'S NOT WORTH for a few clicks to marketing myself here. How could you think I marketing myself at a place like this...

    I can't sing or people are full of hate?

    I know this kind of question is all around this site but I still want to figure it out. When someone tell me I can't sing, is it for real or they just hate me? Their comments are so full of hate, like "Your singing voice is so bad/horrible", "Stop singing this song, you ruined it", "Have you...
