    does this have potential? Rough song idea!

    Yeah those high hats call too much attention to themselves. I think the arrangement is good but am I hearing some wrong notes on the keyboard? I think you also need to re-sing the lead vocal with more abandon. Also a few pitch problem in the lead vocals. I think the harmonies are good though...

    Stop - Original glam/pop/rock song

    I listened before reading any of the comments, and all I could think was, "Rocky Horror Picture Show Part 2!"

    Nigel Farrage Blues

    I like it and don't think it needs vocals. There's a sort of endless broodiness to that I think suits the topic, even though I didn't know what the topic was till I googled it.

    All I Ever... - alternative pop rock

    Top-notch! Now with the nit-picking… Two extra seconds of silence in the beginning. And I like that sound-thing you have before the song starts, but in general I think it takes too long to get to the actual start of the song. I like the yelled vocals it seemed it heartfelt. Vocal performance...

    Come Forth - spooky ass white boy shit

    I really like the part that begins at 1:55. Very unusual and interesting. The claps there seem a bit messy though. Maybe replace with samples? I see what people are saying about too much in the same frequency. It might be an arrangement problem. It seems like the guitar and the vocals are...

    Daw and PreAmp for Beginner Artist

    OK this isn't really answering your question but... I read this article yesterday and a lot of it rang true to me. The 5 Stages of an Electronic Music Producer (and How to Progress Effectively Through Them) - EDMProd For what it's worth, I use Logic for my DAW because I already had a mac...and...

    My first attempts with Reason

    I love the deadpan video. It's awesome. The song is simple and good. Very cool! Make more!

    Don't be shy, it says! *gulp*

    Congratulations on posting! Terrifying, isn't it? I think the melody is great. Good songwriting and arranging. Especially the vocal arrangement and mixing. I love it. As far as things I hear that could be improved... The bass guitar is out of time. There are some weird jumpy things in the vocal...

    Tall Order with easlern and ibleedburgundy

    I like this song a lot. The melody and the lyrics are really good. There is a great atmosphere to it, like resigned nostalgia. Nick's performance and the settings and stuff do sound excellent. Definitely a loud floor creak at 3:38.

    Love Is Made of Blood and Bone

    moptop: Thanks! i appreciate the encouragement. Jimmy: This is my 10th "finished" song so I plan to call it an "album". Third rate music blogs look out! DM60: This is good feedback because for some reason I wasn't hearing the problem with the volume in the vocals. VomithatSteve: I think what you...

    Apologies, need a sanity check...

    I think this sounds pretty epic. I see what you're saying about the reverb tail. I can't decide whether I like it or not. I'm generally a fan of lots of reverb though. I think that's a lot of what makes this song sound epic to me. I agree the guitars sound amazing. I feel like maybe the...

    Cha La Head Cha La - Glam rock ft. VHS and Greg_L

    I love the song, I didn't know it. I think the chorus vocals sound very good. Yeah, I hear the timing issues too. That is going to be a PITA to fix. Also, your website is awesome. I love the photo, the font of the band's name, and your description and bios are hilarious. Nice work!

    Love Is Made of Blood and Bone

    Thanks Nola. I appreciate that. Yeah it's just everything that comes with Logic. I just record the vocals.

    Love Is Made of Blood and Bone

    Thanks so much for the compliments....that's ideal, "Don't change a thing!" Andrushkwit: Thanks. I will even that out. I think that is a problem with a lot of my songs even though I do automation volume and use a compressor. I don't know why this plagues me.

    Love Is Made of Blood and Bone

    I fought with the verse 1 vocals for a while but finally left them as they were with their flaws. I had a lot of trouble with mixing the chorus vocals too, not sure if I ended up with the best option or not. Thanks for listening! I appreciate comments on whatever about the song, not just the...

    Lack of choruses

    Sounds to me like you just have a personal style. That is something to aspire to, not run from. In my opinion, a good song will have a balance of variation and repetition. Not too much of either. So if you can achieve that without a chorus, great.

    Do you/will you copyright your songs?

    Meh. I don't. If someone stole my song I'd be so excited about it. I looked into it once and it seemed that if you wrote it, you have implied copyright. Someone can steal it with or without a copyright and then it would up to the courts...I guess the copyright would improve your standing but...

    Any good? Looking for an outside perspective.

    Well I am no expert myself but here's my input: I think you have a great-sounding voice. I wouldn't worry so much about the "right" way to do things if I was you. Even when someone tells you to NEVER do something. Do your own thing. Own it. My main advice to you for improvement, would be don't...

    Climb The Wall - alternative - feedback wanted

    Holy crap that sounds amazing. The only thing that occurred to me was that the kick in the beginning was a little too pillowy and might sound better with a bit of click or whatever.

    How does my track stack up to these tracks

    Well content-wise I noticed that the others are slower and seem to leave more space for the lead guitar. But I agree that it probably has more to do with advertising, the title, how many videos you have, etc. in other words not the content. That was interesting. I didn't know such a thing existed.
