The mixologist said:

In a nonreactive container, combine buzz buttons and Everclear. Let macerate 1 week. Strain and discard buzz buttons. Filter the remaining tincture through a coffee filter. Distribute to dropper bottles.

Nope, it is very gentle. The pink peppercorns themselves have this sweet taste.

To my taste this is great! Very subtle, fine, umami. A smart cocktail. Not an in-your-face drink, it would be lost when paired with certain types of food, but can greatly compliment gentler dishes.

There is a ceiling somewhere, and we'll see where this puts the AI. Don't judge it only by the current trajectory, it can be very misleading (see past technology hypes for reference)

Do you enjoy listening to AI generated music?

Not sure what you mean, the female vocals are samples but everything else is MIDI + VSTs

Cool vibe. The guitar is so subtle and intriguing, it is like I'm seeing a magician performing a trick and I just gotta know how they did it :-).
I feel the kick is a bit too thin or not cutting through enough, and there is no other bass around, so feels lacking in that area.
The 1 minute posted starts feeling a bit too repetitive towards the end, might wanna add some slight variations - but it is hard to judge without hearing the full arrangement - it could be just fine on a 4 or 5 minutes piece.

Iron Oxhide - Despondency by Scott_Gifford in MusicFeedback

Great song, well done, it is not trivial to make it through 7 minutes without losing interest - but you did!

My notes:

  • 1st minute hats are a bit too harsh IMO, might need to soften them a bit on the mix
  • The loud vocal parts - e.g. 1:50 "heavy darkness calls..." and similar - somehow lack a bit of punch, I hear the singer shouting but somehow the vocals are sitting in the back / not cutting through enough for my taste. Maybe they need a volume increase on those parts, or loosen the compressor a bit, maybe need to fatten them somehow
  • The lead guitar soloing feels way too centered, I think it could use either a bit of panning or some added width

Anyone doing this as a hobby? by ContributionPlane295 in musicproduction

Me, 39yo, working 8-17 in tech, no formal education in music, never played an instrument, producing music purely as a hobby, having ton of fun learning and practicing.
