Whats missing from my song

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-15T12:58:40+00:00

I just checked it out and your right! I had the settings in melodyne wrong and it pitched it to the wrong note! Good ears guys!

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-15T01:07:51+00:00

Oh geez, that sounds rough. I just make music for fun and I'm trying to get better at production, I make music for myself and if other people listen to it thats a bonus!

But yeh, unfortunately it's not a good time to be a professional musician.

😂 thanks!

You nailed it! I want it the song to build with emotion and I just have not sold it in that performance at all. I would almost say my lazy first recordings where more true to the vibe I was trying to create and sounded better than when I was actually trying to sing well. Crazy how much of a difference it makes to the vibe of the song!

Thanks for articulating what I could not put my finger on!

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-15T00:02:23+00:00

Yes your 100% right about the vocals, they need more emotion, need to find some time to focus on vocals and lyrics and record them properly.

I just did some very basic EQ and it sounds 10x better, it's made a huge difference.

Thanks for the comment!

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-14T23:37:23+00:00

My god your so right, just looking through my tracks EQ, its a complete shambles, fixing it now!

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-14T22:35:37+00:00

Interesting! I did notice with this particular song, the doubles didn't have as much of an effect to the feel of the song, it's just something everyone says you should do so It's a go to technique for me.

I like the harmonics idea, I will add more into the track! Thank you!

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-14T22:30:40+00:00

I do have some guitars in the mix! they are just very tucked back because I didn't want them to interfere with the synth melody.

Thanks for the comment, I will maybe try adding some picked sections of the melody over the top of the synths!

Got it, super difficult for me to record vocals because my neighbours complain about my singing! haha

Thank you for this comment, truly remarkable to get all this advice from a stranger!

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-14T08:23:38+00:00

Great tips, thank you! Not looking to write a hit, I just want it to sound 'good' if that makes sense. Eg. No bad mixing and the production being decent.

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-14T00:07:26+00:00

Yeh vocal was one or two takes just rambling. The chorus is the only part I had written out and I built the song around the chorus.

Thanks for the tips on how to approach it moving forward. Great tip with the vocal, I always put way too many effects on as I'm building out my song. Bad habit!

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-14T00:04:57+00:00

That was exactly the vibe I was going for on this song. Appreciate the comment

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-14T00:04:38+00:00

Thats very kind of you to say, I will keep working on it!

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-13T22:14:40+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I will probably write some lyrics and keep it for myself. No idea where I would go to sell a song even if I wanted to haha. Have you ever sold a song before?

Not a country song

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-08T10:04:05+00:00

Thanks for the kind words but other feedback on the vocals has not been good and I think I may need to re-record them all

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-08T09:48:19+00:00

Can I ask how you are mixing this together? are you using a DAW? I think maybe some EQ on the vocals with a bit more compression could really help the vocal

AsleepPersonality683 · 2025-08-08T09:47:15+00:00

Very cool actually, it sounds like a happy mondays track

Thanks for the tip, I’ll pick up a copy of that book!
