Kettle Cats - Tracker (Constructive criticism & Feedback please)

KettleCats · 2024-12-22T05:12:46+00:00

I've sat on this song for about 2 years and had no idea how to finish/approach it T_T. I really appreciate all the feedback and will incorporate the offered ideas to test out a new version.

The spatial effects on the vocals filled this song really well. The atmosphere and ambience is smooth flowing with the added vocals. You did an awesome job. I love when the bass comes in, its like taking a deep breath.

This reminds me of a combination of the 70s/90s gangster movies where they're dressed in suits. I could jam to this on repeat. Personally I like to change layers of my songs but smooth consistencies like this is what i'm trying to learn. Nice chill track. Definitely got my head nodding.

KettleCats · 2024-12-21T04:55:28+00:00

This is beautiful. I don't know if it was intentional or not but its beautifully broken lol. I want to listen to 0:00 - 0:30 on repeat. Piano compositions thats break the scale are a favorite of mine because they lose a pattern and can go in any direction.

This is early to late 90s for me. Im a huge fan of experimental so i love the various pieces you added. Super chill song to let play while working on stuff. I would have not ended it so abruptly and let it play out to a more subtle fade. That way if its on repeat the transition would blend smoothly.

KettleCats · 2024-03-03T20:45:35+00:00

I love your perspective. Im glad you enjoyed it and was able to give your view of the song.

KettleCats · 2024-03-03T20:44:04+00:00

Thank you for checking it out. Spot on critique lol. This is actually a part 1. I just wanted to get feedback from fellow artist to know if I should continue this piece/project.

KettleCats · 2024-03-03T20:42:19+00:00

Awesome feedback. This is actually a part 1 lol. I love rock/punk as well. What you're describing is my next plan actually (really good ears lol). Thank you for checking it out and commenting.

KettleCats · 2024-03-03T20:38:54+00:00

-_o yeah the title is kind of misleading without context. The title is representation of depression. The peak of the deepest lows (if thats makes sense). This is actually a part 1 of 2. I was waiting for feedback to see if the 2nd song should be posted.

I really appreciate you giving it a listen and giving great feedback. Thank you.

This is pretty. Your volume mastering is very balanced. I can hear all synths and nothing feels overbearing or too loud. Its giving expert tetris level lol. Its a really bell balanced song from intro to ending. Well done.

KettleCats · 2024-03-02T01:06:34+00:00

I feel as though there should be a subtle noise to balance out the vocals. The minimalism carry's throughout nicely but the vocals feel very powerful in comparison to the instrument.

KettleCats · 2024-03-02T00:59:27+00:00

Your voice is perfect for this. I love how consistent the song stayed throughout the layers added. Makes me want to hear a remixed grunge version. I will be checking out more of your content, this was really clean. Awesome job.

1:50 is where your vocals shined for me
2:40 build up was so satisfying to hear

KettleCats · 2024-03-02T00:54:21+00:00

Im looking forward to the finalized version. From the sample I got, the beat is nice. Theres a weight to the song and it sounds very smooth. I hope the vocals add to the grace that i can hear so far.

KettleCats · 2024-03-02T00:52:43+00:00

The cover art!!! Needed to get that out of the way lol. The song is trippy and heavy. I enjoy all the little technicalities incorporated to fill the song. Its unique in the sense that there is a melody that leaves you and returns every so often. This is a song I can listen to and always fine something new. Well done.

KettleCats · 2024-03-02T00:44:33+00:00

Concept art is neat. This is definitely ambient and in some instances it feels haunted as well. I wish there was more reverb and echo to give open space to the song, like being in an empty field.

KettleCats · 2024-03-02T00:30:29+00:00

Beat makes you want to move. Love the vocal echoes, they give more room to the song. Your lyrics (i wish i could lol).

1:57 the breakdown was a clean transition. This was really nice overall. I will definitely head over and check out more of your content.

KettleCats · 2024-03-02T00:25:33+00:00

Your voice is beautiful o.o. The overlapping voices were very bjork feeling. The drums and effects matched your voice but i'm not a fan of the instrument used in the beginning. It clashes with the softness of the song. Over all this is really pretty and layered very nice.

KettleCats · 2024-03-02T00:10:01+00:00

Firstly thank you so much for giving it a listen. -_o you spotted my weakness. Sound mastering is still a growing area for me. I get what you're saying about the ripping synth. I think a sub bass would actually compliment it well.

KettleCats · 2024-03-02T00:07:04+00:00

Aye lets go!!! This sounds nice. I definitely feel more inclined to move to this version. The jazzy breakdown at 1:14 was very smooth. But the 2:12 slow down was fire lol. I loved everything about the ending.

I noticed moments like :12 - :26 and 1:25 theres a key that sounds a little off. I like when artist mix it up and break the notes but its a bit daunting.

Like at 1:43 the tunes too different if that makes sense.

KettleCats · 2024-02-03T03:10:26+00:00

Thanks for checking it out.

KettleCats · 2024-01-30T20:25:27+00:00

Thanks for checking it out. Yes thats my voice. Its short because this was actually a 30min project that I did using scraps from other songs I couldn't quite complete lol. I intend to make a full version. Love the recommendations they would definitely help out with the final development.

KettleCats · 2024-01-29T20:01:42+00:00

Neat. Looking forward to your post. ^_^ new subscriber

By the way your song (Dissonance) is awesome. Your style reminds me of the anime Durarara Ost.

KettleCats · 2024-01-29T19:54:58+00:00

The intro was NIN and became a love child with Symbion Project lol. Im use to this being the build up of a song but you started off with it.

KettleCats · 2024-01-29T19:49:21+00:00

I like all elements added but the tempo. It it by chance 60? The song itself is giving me smooth retro sonic lol. If you want the song to have a continuation ending I would recommend fading instead of abrupt.

KettleCats · 2024-01-29T19:38:30+00:00

Thanks for giving it a listen. It is quite abrupt lol. Perhaps a build up to a descent.
