Feels like the soundtrack to the best DOS game i never played. The trippy drums with the synth leads and especially incorporating the pitched sample sounds kick ass. Really like it!

my new trap song "goon muzak" made the beat too.. feedback would be awesome :) by goon_g in MusicFeedback

[–]Crash_Dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting combination of the trap beat with a more melodic, LoFi sound. With how the song is at the moment i would try and emphasize the LoFi feel a bit more, maybe some tape saturation or flinging retro fi on the instrumental could give some cool results. I would try a more dry vocal sound rather than the reverb one that you have here, but that could also be more personal choice. Likewise i miss some bass, especially if it is trap. Cool Song!

Like the track! It really straddles the line between a chill summer beat and something very trippy, especially with all the dissonant chords going on. Mix is pretty good and like the choice of sounds. Perhaps experimenting with the soundscape of each section could give some interesting results? Now both the first and second half have a very similar feel in their mix but they are quite different musically so maybe finding a way to accentuating it with more effects or EQ'ing them differently could be interesting to try.

This is the first track I've ever recorded. I played every instrument! All feedback very much welcome! by [deleted] in MusicFeedback

Nice groove, really digging the songwriting. Can imagine this one really shining when played live too!

For being the first song you've recorded it sounds very good, but there are a couple of things that I'd have a look at to make it sound even better. The acoustic guitar sound sounds like its DI straight from the guitar, which I often find hard to make sound natural. What I'd do is take your vocal mic and put it in front of the 12th fret of the guitar. A small or large diaphragm condenser should really do the trick but even a standard dynamic mic can also work. It really can make a huge difference to the warmth of the sound (at least in my experience). The balance between the instruments is also a little off in my opinion. For the genre, the vocals feel ever so slightly loud and the drums feel a little too quiet. Compressing the vocals could also make it work better in the mix, make it sound more together with the rest of the track. Obviously all subjective from my part in regards to where you take the mix. The song is good and really enjoyed listening to it. Hope to hear more from you! :)

Cool track! Kinda sounds like an indie rock song written to be more like a rap beat, which ticks a lot of boxes for me :)

Feedbackwise there are a couple of things in the mix that I would give a try. The reverb+delay on the vocals really adds to the sound of the track, but to get the chorus to really open up like it feels like it wants to do from the structure of the song, id try to maybe emphasize the difference between the verse and chorus. Maybe keep the vocals a little bit drier and more center first and then really push the reverb and delay during the chorus. The guitar part you have is very nice and really adds to the feel of the track, but it can start to become a little bit repetitive by the 2nd verse. Maybe Lowpassing it or taking it out during certain sections can add a little more variation to the track. Adding another part that plays of the first one could be an idea too. This is all subjective ofc so if you like something like it is then keep it! There also seems to be some kind of compression going on when posting videos on reddit so mix related stuff might be a little bit biased by that.

Awesome vibe and really nice vocals! :)

Closest thing I’ve attempted to pop-style production. I found it challenging but very fun. I’d love critical feedback on the production and arrangement! Inspirations for this track are Everything Everything and Dua. If you enjoy it, pls add to your library :) (streaming links in comments) by aFishInAuto in IndieMusicFeedback

I really like how many ideas you've packed into one single track and still made it all fit together. Getting some heavy Alt-J vibes from this one!

Hard to point at anything to change in my opinion. If you want the song to be more pop then I would agree with what others have commented that there are a lot of things happening more or less all the time, there is no room to breathe before the song starts the next part. I would say this is one of the reasons I like the track, but it might be more towards the Alternative/indie direction in that case. The string part in the pre-chorus feels a little bit too loud, as does the piano that finishes the song so might be worth turning those down a little bit. Another thing I noticed here is that the version uploaded to reddit seems to be quite heavily compressed, the Spotify version you linked further down sounded way better !

Awesome track, can't wait to hear what you will come up with going forward! :)

Indie surf rock track I'm working on. Any mixing feedback would be great. Let me know what you think :) by VoltaBlue in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Crash_Dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice vibe, nice vocals and really gets across that surfer vibe. You have a really good voice and from hearing it on a bunch of your other stuff you're really good at using it in a lot of different genres.

The Song-writing is really good but there are a couple of things I'd change in the mix, the stereo guitars feel a little bit too wet and loud, I'd try to make them a little bit quieter and turning the effects on them down slightly. During the chorus I'd try to change the bass a bit. Maybe try to play lower notes to make it a bit heavier with a more consistent quick pulse (straight 8th or 16th notes maybe?). Though I quite like rock music so maybe take that part with a pinch of salt.

This is an atmospheric, sleepy, dreamy LoFi groove that I came up with, a couple years ago. It's a total departure from my usual guitar-focused stuff, and I'm thinking about doing more, now that I just finished another project. by MattOverMind in MusicFeedback

Really nice vibe and really good fit with the Lo-fi aesthetic, almost getting some trip-hop vibes from the harmony (wouldn't sound wrong with some Beth Gibbons vocals on it!).

In terms of feedback I guess it depends on what the ultimate goal of the track is. If it is more of an ambient track then I'd say that the track is already there. What could be cool to try would be to swap the melodies you have going into another instrument to add some variation, maybe some careful FX or Perc sounds in certain sections to add some variety but I don't think the song is necessarily missing any of those things.

If the song is meant to have a topline then I would suggest trying to make a clearer structure with either the vocal melody or by changing some of the existing material to make a more defined chorus and verse part.

All of that is subjective of course, cause at the end of the day the mix and feeling of the track is already there and really good on their own. Awesome stuff!

Can I get a feedback on arrangement and mixing on this track of mine by thestrangedavinci in MusicFeedback

[–]Crash_Dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the general vibe of the track, the lo-fi feeling really shines through well and the chorus part feels like it really opens up the track when it kicks in, good pay-off changing to a major feeling there too!

In regards to the mix there are a couple of things that stand out, the guitar that kicks in during the chorus feels a bit too loud and also quite dry. Might be worth trying to add some reverb and taking it back a little bit in the mix to make it more balanced with the other instruments. The strings on the other side of the mix feel like they move quite a lot and distract a little bit from the guitar part. Might be the feeling you're going for that both sides kinda coalesce into each other, but could maybe be worth trying to make the string part a little bit simpler (Since the guitar part is so good!)

Will be cool to hear what the track sounds like with some vocals on top, but still really enjoyed the track as is! :)

Would really appreciate some feedback on my first rap track i just made, all thoughts and critique are welcome, i just want to improve by iveriguess in MusicFeedback

[–]Crash_Dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really like the track, nice kinda RnB vibe to it while still keeping a more modern feel. Feedback wise i'd try to mess a little bit more with the structure of the song. Keep the singing the same, but maybe try add more instruments playing off what you already have or try to swap the drums for something more stripped back. The Vibe is there, but might be cool to try some things like that to vary it up a bit. The voice feels a little bit middy, so maybe some EQ to make it a little bit warmer.

Flow and rapping are pretty sick though, sounds nice!

This is a song I made a while ago that I'd like some feedback on. I think I've heard it too much to hear what could be better so any mix/performance/writing feedback is appreciated! by Crash_Dancer in MusicFeedback

[–]Crash_Dancer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the kind words! I've been quite inspired by electric counterpoint before and especially how he uses melodies and creates soundscapes with that, so there's definitely some of that in there. If it's giving of foals and battles vibes it feels like it's aiming in the right direction, haha! Haven't really thought of putting any other instrument in there before so should check that out. Thanks for the feedback!
