    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...

    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...

    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...

    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?

    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...

    Arggggg! Vietnamese copyright law sucks!

    I was thinking about copyright my songs, but they refuse just because my songs are improvisations, not really songs. I use my pen name/stage name as Hibiki Itano for about 8 years, but they refuse as well because it's a foreign name, not a Vietnamese name. Anyone tell me how to due with those...
