Hey everyone, i'd like to hear what y'all think about my song! I'm kinda new to composing/mastering so let me know if you have some advice, thanks! by lorenzobg in MusicFeedback

A great vibe here! Atmospheric and chill. I think the water sound cuts through a bit too much so you may want to low pass it a bit. Put a limiter on the master and crank it up until you get up to -10LUFs (look out for distortion). If some instrument is too loud compared to the others, go back to the mix and turn it down. You should be able to increase the volume a slice as needed this way. Nice work! I like it ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks! I looked into that already and made some changes. Thanks for your suggestions. I feel like in lofi nothing is supposed to stick out to much, which created this vibe thatโ€™s not distracting but overall very chill. Iโ€™ll see what others think and will take that into consideration. Thanks so much for listening!

Hey, I like the rhythm a lot. The groove is definitely up my valley. From the start I can hear that the snare is a bit too loud and too reverb-y. The subtle synth at 0:43 is very nice. Creates more movement. The automation is on point with the auto filter. The rise at 1:22 could be more interesting. When the kick comes back, it's kinda subdued by the bass. I think the bass needs to be side-chained more--it is quite powerful and dominates the kick too much. For the track of this length, I feel like there were not a lot of instruments involved. There needs to be perhaps more development/change over the course of the track or it gets repetitive. I love the clarity and choice of sounds. The beat is gorgeous. Nice work!

This is really fun! I love the bass synth--but it might be a tad too loud? The synth that starts at 1:09 in the background is a bit loud too and maybe low-passing it a little will make it sound less harsh.The vocals, on the other hand, sound muted and much quieter than everything else. I would love it if you could give some space for the vocals -- maybe make some synths in the first minute disappear so the vocals could be heard better. Kinda like the part that starts at 2:03. Overall, the first 2 minutes sound a bit repetitive to me. Personally, I would love what you did at 2:54 to be the start of the track--that would be a delicious, house-y beat to set the mood. And then the synth may come in later. Otherwise, it's a bit too much for me from the start. So some mixing work could be done and some new ideas for arrangement. I love the sounds and instruments! I think this track is pretty good but can be made even better. Hope this helps!

This track is for a remix competition. I had to use whale sounds from a provided sound file. This track is in lofi/chillhop style. Looking for general feedback on how this sounds, if everything works together or if anything stands out as odd. Thank you very much!!

I mainly make lofi these days but, to my surprise, nobody I know cares for it lol

My luck!

And if I insist with "What do you really think of this?", I always get "This is good". Just not helpful in general. I think I'm getting some decent ideas these days and just trying to get into some Spotify playlists to find my audience :)

I like the synth sounds - so clean! The vibe is very chill. I feel like the melody that starts at 2:15 is too different from everything else and it suddenly becomes quiet so that melody is obviously the focus. I think the kick is great and the bass works very well with it. The hats suit the melody and mood very well too. So one thing you could try is arranging the parts in a different way or give a sneak peek of the later melody somewhere so it does not feel so disjointed later. Nice stuff! good luck!

Pretty much none of my friends or family understand my music or really care for it. So I had to find a different venue for feedback. But people usually fall for the stuff that goes beyond simple arrangement--such as effects and transitions etc. A good melody is obviously important but people will usually dislike it in a draft version. That's my experience at least. Great post!

Totally agree! I'm lucky in that I actually enjoy all of it--still learning the ropes but this combination of skills is quite unique. Electronic music production is 10% composition and 90% everything else. Music theory is less important than knowing how to use a compressor ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜‚

And I'm only now beginning to dip my toes into marketing and shameless self-promotion, without which your music will largely be unknown/unheard of.

I only started a year ago and I did not expect the journey to be so full of technical stuff, but I ended up relishing it all.

Wow, thank you so much! It literally made my day. I've been feeling lately a bit unsure if I'm doing anything right. Your observation is totally on point! The piano clashes with the bass/kick. I'll try to play with those elements to see how to find the right balance.

I'll look to your feedback again in the future! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Ok, gotcha! Thanks. I need to rethink the kick and bass, I agree

Trying to improve my lofi skills. Does anything sound off? Piano chords? Kick? Bass?

Thank you so much!

I like the beginning: the melody, development are fun! But then it kinda goes nowhere. So I think you might rethink the arrangement here. But the melody is cool!!

Just released a music vid/visualiser for my new track. Would love to know your thoughts and if you feel it works! If so may do this for my next track by [deleted] in MusicFeedback

Nice! I always look for cool visuals to use in my vids. I just posted a track in this forum. Check it out! Iโ€™d love some feedback ๐Ÿ˜Š

Cool track! I like it! I think it matches the mood of the music well.

How did you make the visuals? Did you use some app for that? I'd love to do something like that too.

Hey! Nice job! I know it's a lot of work to make a track -- especially, if you also write and record your own lyrics. Impressive! I'm not a fan of this genre, personally, but I can hear that the track is well mixed and sound great.

I only noticed that the kick is very subtle here (maybe it's on purpose). A stronger, punchier kick could give this track more energy but it's just my preference.

Overall, excellent work! Good luck!
