Sounds great to me with just an acoustic and voice. I might turn down the compression though, sounds a little bit too compressed.

Nice. You rarely hear songs today that are produced and mixed like this. Thank you for showing us this song!

Instruments such as the horns sound pristine in the mix while the vocals and drums are too dark, which doesn't create a good contrast. I'm interested to see what you can improve on in this track.

Wow. An incredible resource for recording! Thanks for sharing Gtoboy.

I've got to try this myself. Thanks for sharing your exercise, kickingtone!

Nice selection of songs FiSHSTiCKZ! I think I like "Sleepy Sunset" out of the three of them. It was an upbeat vibe to it that makes me want to listen longer.

It's always honorable and innate I think as a musician to write towards someone's passing away. You did the right thing in playing this song at his funeral.

Hi all. I just wanted to pose a question on this forum: When you have writer's block in creating your music, what strategies in the past have helped you overcome them? Hopefully, your responses can help others surmount their own creative blocks. As far as me, nothing beats good old exercise. I...

Hello Home Recorders! Back here with a song wildly different from my last one. I hope you all enjoy this song!

Hm, unlike most of the users here, I only usually work on one or two songs at a time. I'm adamant about completing songs that I've started.

I own a small Dell computer with an Intel Core processor (i3-4130 CPU @ 3.40GHz) and 8 GB of installed RAM. So far, I have not have much trouble working my songs in FL Studio. Although, I am wondering if an upgraded machine could assist me better in producing or if staying with my old computer...

Klaviam is back! This time with a harder/alternative rock piece. I used real guitars and bass and arranged the drums using Garageband. Enjoy! YouTube

I always try to make my songs sound different from each other. For more synth/piano based songs, I find it easy to radically change up the structure from song to song. For my more guitar/drums/bass songs, it can be tough to stay away from the verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge trap that so many...

Some tips I would recommend: - Once you've think you completed the mix at a normal level, turn the master volume to a barely audible level and see what stands out to you first. This is a great way to tell if an instrument is too loud. - Turn the master track on mono and also see if anything...

Welcome to the forum LZoSo! Mixing can make a song sound radically different that what is was before. However, going overboard with effects. EQing, and compression might distort what you intended to create in the first place. I recommend using only the basics at first and gradually learn and...

Woops. Thanks for pointing my faulty signature out. I would definitely look forward to hearing a full production of your rendition, maybe adding in guitar/bass along with the vocals and piano. I hail from the city of Rancho Santa Margarita, my friend. I have set my goal to become a video game...

There is no one secret to elevating your mix techniques to advanced levels. You are doing the right step by asking how to improve though. I will share what bits of knowledge I have acquired with you... 1. Take breaks when you are working on your mix for too long. Often, returning from your...

Thank you grn for sharing this. The world of music is benefited when knowledge is shared.

Nice rendition of this piece, TAE. The piano really works greatly with your vocals and I respect how actually played the instrument, which leads to a more organic-sounding song.

It must be rough as musicians to have tinnitus. I really feel for all of you who want to enjoy music, but can't without boosting the volume. Hopefully, there is some sort of permanent treatment in the coming years that could fix this.
