I would assume by "wildcard" we/he/they mean a song that truly hooks you in and the next thing you know you're totally digging it. It's not about the musicianship, it's not about the sound quality, the song just has that IMMEDIATE something that grabs you, forces you to bob your head, sing along...

"The odd time signatures (moreso in the second song) make the music fun to play, and I think it is funner to listen to from a musicians point of view." I've said this before but, there is a fine line between impressing yourself and impressing the listener. Do both at the same time and you end...

1) Make sure all of your loops, samples, are legal. Digitial watermarking has been the norm for the past few years and many lawyers are just now gearing up for this very profitable legal battle. 2) Copyright your work. I don't have the link, but this can be done in one shot by sending your CD...

This should be on the CD just to showcase what can be done from someone who knows how to use his home studio. A true showcase for the indie home studio. The song has some cool technical tricks. Good dynamics, good vocal technique, strings/synths sound properly placed in the mix adding some...

Not sure what you're looking for in comments, you know the recording needs work so obviously I won't comment on that. The song I listened to (Easy Street) had some good musicianship, especially the drumming. But otherwise not sure about groove of the song. Kind of "rapid" in overall delivery...

I think for how little time you put into it, it sounds GREAT! Sure, you could do a ton with this one. But, is that your goal? If it is, post an update when it's ready. Your live drums sound fine. You may want to add suttle amounts of verb to the snare and kick to make them slightly pushed to the...

Hey Jay, Sounds like you were trying for a Rob Zombie type vocal. Not bad, could use a tad less effects to make the vocals sound cleaner. I listened up to the 3:40 mark. It has some good chord progressions, some nice dynamics, and yes there are timing issues. But what I heard was not bad. Any...

Good heartfelt dynamic singing. The emotions were obviously there during the recording which really brings in the listener. I'm not a fan of ballads like this extending into the 5-6 min mark. I would think the listener was presented with pretty much everything the song had to offer at the 3-4...

Hi Pedullist, Thank you for your comments. You are indeed correct, real comments can be made with more tact and I will try to address that. Ascii text via the internet has no emotion and sometimes it can come across much harsher than intended. Thank you for pointing that out to me. :) Hi...

Won't comment on anything before 1:12 because I have no idea what you were going for with that. Would be a killer piece to open the stage act!! The song itself that starts at 1:12 is good and is deserving of completion. Another example why B.SABBATH continues to write music worthy of a...

"I must admit: I have a feeling Homeuser finds it hard to believe we do it just for fun and to improve ourselves. What the heck, let's get personal: Homeuser, do you find it hard to believe that?" Obviously at first I did. I'm still kind of surprised by how many are just doing this for fun, but...

"Didn't see that on your rather limited list of reasons to make music." Don't confuse the options in the poll. They aren't referring to why we MAKE music, but why we are posting the music for other people to listen. ;) Now me, I have the biggest EGO in the world. Sure I want my music to sound...

Reason to go to an Indie Label instead of doing it by yourself: Time. If you have the time to market your product, you can do EXACTLY what an "proper" Indie label will do. Most "local" indie lables will be able to get your music into the "mom and pop" music/cd stores and possibly get you some...

Disclaimer: As a newbie I'm just trying to spark debate about a topic that I'm a tad bit confused about. I see so many "people" here taking the time to write/perform music and then uploading it, posting a link and then ask for people on the forum to check it out. Sure there are a few who post...

Consumer thoughts here: ( not on the mix, just the tunes...) Overhaul: Vocals were the weakest part. Good guitars and the drummer is pretty good as well. Myself being a drummer as well, it was cool to see the accents your drummer is doing on the tune, REALLY makes a difference having a good...

The overall volume is WAY too low. :)

Not bad for taking in account for how long you put into it. Congrats!

Kind of "Dust in the Wind"ish, but nothing wrong with that. The overall feel was too mellow to hold my interest, but the overall sound was good. You have probably one of the best pop voices I have heard on this forum, so I'm going to back to check out your other tunes in hope of hearing...

First off, you're using the strings as a "pad" which is simply a filler sound to fill the gaps. They need to be "just audible" otherwise like in this song, they stand out too much. UNLESS ofcourse you're using them as a lead, which in this song you are not. :) Back to the tuneage, I like the...

Hmm... rock with horns , lead vocals with both female and male, a screaming guitar solo (with backing horns). I have to tell you, these are 3 things very uncommon. You may want to try a vocal structure where the leads take turns singing a line. It might make the vocals more up front and stand...
