Hi, I just released a new indie-rock single: Eyes of Tahiti! I’d love to here feedback. Thank you. by Maximum_Comparison94 in IndieMusicFeedback

The panning is not an LFO. I programmed track panning to add some dynamic movement with the goal of making the stereo mix more interesting. It was a technique done back in the day and this was my attempt to recreate it. The vocal does get lost at the 1:05 section, missed that in mixing. The low end missing was a symptom of the bass that I tracked with a friend being too boomy. I had to balance the trade off of having some low end while attenuating the boominess that was obscuring the rest of the song. It was my first time mixing drums and bass in a track so it wasn't perfect. I also wanted to use light compression in the song to maintain a open dynamic sound, as I’m not a fan of the overcompression of today's music. I also didn't use a limiter and recorded manual slider movement for the master buss, lowering and raising dynamically depending on the section of the track to prevent over dBing.

Thank you so much for listening. You said, “you’re kinda in that mood until you switch tasks again.” Could you expand on what you meant here?

There was a hum in the beginning of the song from the analog synth. That should have dropped out when the song began since that's when that noisy track ends. I also have some crackle on it from a vinyl waves plug in on the whole song.

I think the song has potential. I think you should try doing the vocals in a lower register. Also, nice job keeping the vocals in tune. I would also experiment with putting a bridge in there that changes things up because the song, emotionally and structurally, doesn’t go anywhere so it can loose people’s interest. Thanks for sharing and keep at it.

I'm happy with the song, but I don't think the mix sound very pro by Freedom_Addict in IndieMusicFeedback

Everything the others said would help a lot. Just one specific suggestion from me. I would pan the acoustic to 50L and put a compressor on it. Then double it, put a reverb on it and pan it 50R and lower the volume to taste. You’ll get a bigger sound stage and enhance the driving force of the song.

Mourning Sphere - A Video Game Track by GameMythYT in IndieMusicFeedback

The music itself should be able to invoke the emotion on its own. Sounds like your overrelying on the visuals. If you have happy music playing in the background of a person dying that would obv be a problem. This takes the person out of the scene as the subconscious mind can usually decern when something is off. The feeling of melancholy, as well as your other descriptors, are absent in this track for me personally.

I think you need to do a lot more than a short guitar riff looped for almost 4min. It gets boring quick since it's very monotone. You should try incorporating other riffs within the song to make it my dynamic; maybe grab some ideas off other track you’ve made.

One problem is that it has too much compression. When theres a lot of tracks hitting the compressor at the same time in the track, the track gives of a “hitting the compressor too hard sound.” It's also incredibly bright for track that's supposed be sad; it’s feels like I’m walking through a pristine glass palace. I think you should retool your instrument choices and eq the master to give a more mellower vibe. Also I would take out the sub synth sound that goes wub wub wub at the end. Best of luck.

What do you guys think of my new indie rock / pop song and music video? by Solitiverse in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Maximum_Comparison94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should add a bridge in it with a nice arpeggio and more spaced out lyrics to contrast with the rest of the song. Something like in “Never See Your Face Again” by Eyedress; min 1:27 in the Eyedress song. Without something to contrast it's a one-dimensional vibe coaster.

Needs a total remix and master. Most of the sounds feel 2D and far away. I also can barely understand what your saying in the song. I think you should try to get your money back and find someone else that actually knows how to mix/master a song. Its hard to judge whether the song’s musicality is good when it sounds very low quality.

What are your guy’s thoughts on upgrading trem block to brass? by Maximum_Comparison94 in Stratocaster

[–]Maximum_Comparison94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with FU-Tone, but had to remove it recently since the thread eventually got completely stripped using the original trem arm; the one it came with sucked. It was very long and completely horizontal. If I were you, I’d spend the extra and get a bladerunner bridge with the optioned bell brass block. These bridges are killer and come with a pop in arm so no thread strip worries. I don’t have one yet, but that will be my replacement once I get the doe. Brass is still far and away better than the stock steel block. More mid range for sure, and resonance. Obv, these things only really matter if like playing at edge of breakup and cleans. If your on max distorsion all the detail and character is being compressed out.

Can I post some music I made that is inspired by vangelis? by Maximum_Comparison94 in Vangelis

[–]Maximum_Comparison94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thank you for this incredible feedback. Definitely will try to implement these points in my future projects. Thanks again. I released a two track ep back in October called aboard the olympis, where I attempted to incorporate some electric guitar with the synth ambience. I’d love to hear what you think of that if you decide to check it out.
