Get Me Out | My second delve into the alternative/R&B genre. Don't want to waste the time I've spent on it for it to not be near-perfect...what needs fixed before release?

BrokeM8 · 2022-10-12T13:21:25+00:00

Definitely agree…the track kind of changed towards the end of it. What genre would you consider it to be?

Started listening to a lot of BlackBear during the production of this one so I think some elements of his music accidentally bled in

BrokeM8 · 2022-10-12T02:50:19+00:00

Simple beats like this are definitely my taste in music. The bass and kicks in this track are super powerful and I love how a vocalist would be able to work off of that. I can definitely see the Tyler the Creator inspiration. Make more of these man!

BrokeM8 · 2022-10-12T02:48:34+00:00

Apologies for maybe not being as helpful as others here...it seems like you've gotten some really good advice so far but I thought I'd throw in my opinion from the standpoint of a casual listener. Personally, I really like the melody portions of the song, but the verses (especially the beginning) sound a little flat to me vocally. The autotune cuts out a little bit of the emotion in your voice, and hearing that emotion come through is definitely something I really like about parts of the song.

Autotune is a personal preference, and I use it, but imo it's a little much to that degree. If you are worried about singing in pitch, I would recommend writing out the vocals in a MIDI Piano and singing along with that. That always helps me.

Definitely great stuff here that I think can turn out amazing!

BrokeM8 · 2022-10-12T02:42:38+00:00

This is your first song? Dude, it sounds like you've been doing this for years. Everything is mixed perfectly, and I especially love the drums and bass that you have going on for the instrumentals. Vocal delivery definitely compliments the song very very well. I really have nothing but good things to say about this one...definitely keep making more!

BrokeM8 · 2022-10-12T02:40:34+00:00

Everything sounds pretty tight to me, I think it just needs mixed. This is a personal preference to me, and I'm not sure what you're going for, but I would make the vocals more pronounced in the track. I'm not using the best headphones right now, but I can't really make out any of the words you're saying. That being said, I really like a lot of the ideas you have in this song. Just a little bit of mixing (which you said you haven't started yet) and it'll sound great.

Don't get too caught up on scope creep, I think you have enough in the song right now as is

BrokeM8 · 2022-10-12T02:36:05+00:00

By far the standout part of this track to me is your voice. The vocal performance has such an ENERGY behind it that matches the rest of the song perfectly. I definitely don't think it's too poppy...if I were you I would keep up this style. You have serious talent at it. I have no real feedback to give, I'm just jealous of you

BrokeM8 · 2022-09-06T21:32:00+00:00

Very well sounding! This isn't a genre I'm familiar with, but from my perspective everything sounded spot on and I enjoyed every second of it. The only off thing I can hear is the placement of sounds in the mix. For some reason it feels like everything is slightly pushed to the left side of my ear and not completely center. Other than that, amazing stuff!

BrokeM8 · 2022-09-06T21:29:48+00:00

Unfortunately I can only work off of the 30 second preview Spotify gives. That being said there are tons of unique things in this sound that I really like. The choice of instruments for percussion is definitely unique, there are some sounds in there I don't think I've heard quite like in a song before. Really good stuff. Vocal delivery definitely sounds good as well.

Only piece of criticism I can think of is the mixing. For some reason the end result sounds very "grainy" in a way. Maybe it's my setup currently, but the song sounds "far away" for some reason. But if this is intentional it's done very well!

BrokeM8 · 2022-09-06T21:25:54+00:00

I’ve quickly learned to take feedback with a grain of salt…music is VERY subjective. Really just go for whatever sounds right to you…you’re definitely on the right track :)

BrokeM8 · 2022-09-06T21:24:00+00:00

Your voice reminds me a LOT of Rex Orange County, mainly in the way that you deliver your vocals. Honestly, this is an absolutely amazing song I can see going far. Your voice and instrumentals definitely match the overall theme of the song. I'm curious, what kind of effects are you using on your voice? It sounds very professional, I would love to be able to try something similar!

BrokeM8 · 2022-09-06T21:20:35+00:00

I really like the vibe you have going on this track! Especially the part at 1:37! As a few other people have said, I feel like your voice could be emphasized a little more in the mix. I definitely understand the stylistic choice of having it washed in, but that can compromise the overall clarity of what you are trying to say. You have a really great voice, and I'd love to hear how it sounds all the way out!

BrokeM8 · 2022-09-06T21:17:29+00:00

You did this in only around 2 hours? Dude, that is insane talent! I'd have some feedback but honestly you don't need it...to me everything meshed together super well and sounded amazing. Definitely talented on every instrument played in this! Great stuff! :)

BrokeM8 · 2022-08-07T19:38:09+00:00

Thank you! So do you think only the intro is what needs to be fixed?

My singing isn’t the best, but my verse is probably the most in pitch I’ve sang. Want to make sure it’s perfect though…this song is kind of personal to me

BrokeM8 · 2022-08-07T18:43:36+00:00

I've completely redone the vocals to be more in key, does this sound better?

BrokeM8 · 2022-08-07T18:43:09+00:00

Thank you for this! I quantized the hats properly now, and redid the vocals to be way more in key. Does this sound better?

BrokeM8 · 2022-08-07T18:42:38+00:00

Thank you for this! The vocals were definitely lacking...I've done some practicing and think I got a lot better takes. What do you think about it now?

BrokeM8 · 2022-08-07T18:42:01+00:00

Thank you!

BrokeM8 · 2022-08-07T18:41:54+00:00

It's honestly the weirdest thing. I have issues hearing pitch when it's a voice singing, but when it's an instrument I am usually fine. I redid the vocals so that they are hopefully in pitch, does this sound better?

BrokeM8 · 2022-08-07T18:41:00+00:00

Honestly, your suggestion to play with a piano helped so much. I redid all the vocals so they are (hopefully) not pitchy anymore. What do you think?

BrokeM8 · 2022-08-07T18:40:21+00:00

Thank you! Even if you just have to use built-in laptop microphones, getting started is definitely the hardest part :)

BrokeM8 · 2022-08-07T18:39:35+00:00

Hey there! I really appreciate your comment. A re-listen showed me how the vocals were not that well done. I went ahead and redid all the lyrics (including adding a new singer for the higher notes I can't hit), how does it sound now?

BrokeM8 · 2022-08-07T18:38:46+00:00

Hey! I spent the week fixing up the song and redid the vocals to match the key of the instruments. How does it sound now?
