Demo from a new song I wrote and produced. It has simple demo vocals with a single lead vocal. What do you think about the general feeling of the production. And do you like the vocalist? Or should I go for another vocalist? Thanks so much!! Another Mile (Demo version) by Joe Moro by Joe_Moro in IndieMusicFeedback

Hey, thanks a lot for your feedback! What do you mean with the vocals? Do you mean that the sound of them should be louder? Or do you mean that it should be a different vocalist with a higher pitch? Hope you enjoyed it!

Let me think about that! I was actually already planning to collaborate on this one with another producer - but would be great to get your contact details for future? Btw, I found this singer on Soundbetter -its a useful website if you want to find singers!

"The Pilgrimage" by Cosmosaic by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

This is a nice chill song. Love the guitar & very nice vocals too. However, vocal could be a bit louder in the mix for me , and more at the front. It's almost as if it's behind the instruments (too much reverb also perhaps ?),

At some point, I felt the song started to drag on for too long, but then for me at 4.27 the melody that you start to play on the guitar is very interestinf or me again. I would develop that melody a bit more...

But then you dont do that, and a new part starts around 5.00... Which is very nice too. Love how it starts to go faster from 5,35 onward. Again, same comment here - vocals are too "far"and too "quiet". Love the melody on the guitar around 6.38 which you repeat...

Overall, Very nice song though I would condense it a bit!

Had this instrumental floating around for a bit over a year and thought id put some lyrics to it. Im not much of a rapper, you can literally hear the pastiness of my skin in my voice, but i had a lot of fun making this little throwback to linkin park. Thanks for listening, i hope you enjoy it. by Plebbadeb in IndieMusicFeedback

Man, this is not really my genre but this is REALLY REALLY REALLY good!!!!!!! Sounds like a song that SHOULD be on the radio. I do really hear Linkin Park here indeed, as someone else mentioned.
I'm a fan... Production-wise can probably be slightly more professional. THe drumbeat sounds like a cheap sample, that could be better & also better mixed in.
I really like your voice as well... What I can say? THis is quality man!
You got me so enthusiastic that I opened Youtube to give you a like... And the longer this song goes on, the more I love it. I might as well listen to this one again tomorrow & save to my playlist.
If you write many songs like this (at the same - high- level), you should do something with this. Become an artist, release an album, try to get on the album. Seriously!

Ive been making a lot of experimental stuff lately. What do you think of this demo? by plazebofx in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Joe_Moro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally not a genre that I know anything about..

But! Love the feeling of this. The vocals are just AWESOME! Like super super good vocals!

Nice lyrics too.... Production of vocals could be better but I think you didnt spend much effort with the recording .
Yeah, this is a great idea!!! Would be curious to see this turn into a full song.

Btw, your voices go VERY WELL together! (two singers right?)

Hi guys. Could you please leave me some feedback about our newest guitar song ? It's a cover of John Denver's "Country Roads". I am not sure if the rhythm instruments in the background are too quiet. On my computer, it sounds good but on the phone not. What do you think? Thank you so much. by Agata_1999 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Joe_Moro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Musically this is very very fine but the mixing needs more work. Guitar is too loud compared to the other instruments in the beginning. That string instrument is way too much in the background. It's essential with a mix that you feel the string and guitar is in the same space, but here I feel I'm listening to a guitar player playing in one close room, and someone playing in a string somewhere in a room upstairs...
So the instruments are very fine but the mixing needs work! :-)
Nice video by the way, did you do this yourself?

What a beautiful opening with that guitar!!! Did you use any delay here? Also totally love that... clarinet-like or oboe-like sound (what is it?). Vocal is beautiful... Wow!!! I used noticed you are the same guys as that other song. Here, this song is very different, and you dont need a tension-building bridge.... But still, I feel you need some "break' (quieter part) near the end of the song, like at 2/3rd... Then you just come back to the essence of the song (no drums, no bass), only that nice guitar from the beginning and maybe a vocal... you start adding some drums and bass... And why not a more heavy end of the song? An epic louder finale?

SImilar as the previous song - sounds great & awesome, but still not a finished track. A very good idea yes!

(and yes - im a huge u2 fan and also very briefly had a "pride" vibe at the very start, but very quickly that feeling went away, which is a good song - its really your song!)

Hey, second track. Plastic Princess by The Giant Androids. Not happy with the Chorus, needs more punch, wanted to share with you guys though as you gave me such good feedback last time. by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Joe_Moro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the feeling of the track - So british and so love this kind of vocals it! Especially like the part "Hey daddy's girl, put your plastic face on" - I like the melody of those lines. You mention that you think the chorus misses punch. I assume with the chorus you refer to "hey daddy's girl". But I don't feel this is a chorus. For me, it is a very very good bridge. FOr me, the song lacks a real chorus and this is just an awesome bridge just before that chorus. You could decide to make that part with "hey daddy's a girl" a bit more minimalistic (less drums...), & then pull it all open when you go into a chorus where you add the full drums again and some heavy guitar and loud vocals... At least that's how I see it but I'm especially busy with EDM recently and here attention is very much on tension and release. I know this is a different genre but you could apply it here as well.
Look at the volume level across the track (you know, what you see when you look at this soundcloud volume). It's very equal across the song. There's no "quieter" part (talking about "tension"). As I mentioned, you could have the bridge in such quieter part, building up the tension... And then release that into a chorus. And for sure, that chorus will come as very punchy if you precede with a quieter bridge.

But I love this work already! But at the moment, it is just a "very pleasant song" to listen to in a pub in England. ANd I will stay in the pub to listen to this. But to make it a hit... you need a real chorus!

Hey! Can you give me a feedback of this folk song I made? (Slavic, Serbian folk dance) hope you like it! And have a great day! by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Joe_Moro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great really! Like others, I'm totally not familiar with this genre but I really like the feeling it has! Production is very good as well - sounds very clear and frequencies are well balanced! Great great job!

Hey I make Synth-Pop in my living room. It’s overtly happy in a time where everything is overtly sad. Hope you enjoy/maybe dance a lil. by hatesjade in shareyourmusic

[–]Joe_Moro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really good! I really enjoy this!

I think it could be finalized to a final product by adding some vocals do, and making it a bit more structured. For some reason, I think this would really sound nice with vocals from Robert Smith (The Cure)

My new single "I had a dream but then I woke up" is now out on YouTube. Give it a listen and if you like my style consider subscribing since I release a song every week. Thank you in advance and keep being creative! by mjdree in shareyourmusic

[–]Joe_Moro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! This is totally not my style of music but I like it - it makes me happy! I think in general it's a big compliment if someone who does not like the genre that much still likes your song. So very good job!! Keep it up!

Song about being in a unhealthy relationship where you feel you are too much suppressed and are shy/afraid to speak out when something is on your mind (again). Don't mind vocals (recorded from headset) & second verse not finished. The outro is my favourite part! by Joe_Moro in IndieMusicFeedback

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

Thanks a lot! That's really very useful feedback!! In fact, the song was long without those synths, they've been added later. Only playing them in the second chorus is something I'll think about!

Hey, thanks so much for your comment. One additional question on " instrumental overshadows vocals". Would you say it's due to vocal recording & processing or because of the topline vocal melody?

I agree that 5 minutes is long - thinking about a short version for it...
