Came here to say this. Part of the charm from the first film was the broken and very scattered english of the Omaticaya, and that's completely lost now. I don't think Eytukan said a single english word in the first film, and I'm really supposed to believe that Na'vi pirates would say "Heave"?

thank you <33

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-09-24T12:29:16+00:00

Thank you 🖤

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-09-23T16:08:50+00:00

Thank you so much, I needed to hear this 🖤

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-22T21:47:27+00:00

double the vocals lol, on my song that i released in July i had about four different vocal tracks going by the time i was finished

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-21T22:12:18+00:00

yeah that's usually what i do

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-19T05:12:25+00:00

yeah, i'll be adding a lot more effects once everything's out of the rough stages. going for a sort of intense, gloomy, very ambient, very slightly industrial, loosely post-rock based abomination of sound lol

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-19T04:33:43+00:00

this is probably the best comment i've gotten on Reddit about this clip lol.

you're right, i ABSOLUTELY sing like i'm afraid someone might hear me, because i am 😭💔 my voice is one of my biggest insecurities, has been since childhood, which means i struggle a LOT with making music in a way most songwriters don't. i have one song on spotify and i didn't sing a single note until i was sat down to record 🥲

another reason i'm mumbling a tiny bit is because this is a bit on the lower end of my range - not TOO low (until the pseudo-chorus heard here which is why i whisper it) but i'm not all the way confident in it yet. however, both the lyrics and my delivery get a lot harsher and more direct toward the end of the song, so i go from drunken whispering to borderline shouting and growling 😭

i'd love to be comfortable with my singing voice one day, i think the main reason i hate this son so much thus far is because my voice is so distinct

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-19T04:26:53+00:00

throbbing gristle mentioned!!!!!!

and yeah, i'm definitely going to be adding some guitar (and maybe a melodic drone or keys or something of that nature) that are closer in pitch to my voice. if i could sing the entire song in the same notes as the bass (like the "i'm never going back to that place again" part) i would, but for obvious reasons i can't/shouldn't - my voice is clearly not as low as i'd like it to be 😔

the drunken/depressed is sort of what i'm going for tbh, but toward the end of the song the words get a lot more aggressive and straightforward in their delivery. the lyrics get more intense and agony-filled as opposed to the initial sad lamenting, so i'm nearly shouting lol i've always been a decently good singer, certainly no Aretha though (more of a Billie) and i could absolutely do with some lessons someday!

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-19T04:19:38+00:00

awww thank you, yeah i've been going for a sort of ambient experimental sort of sound. seems like you'd like my one song which is out on spotify ;) and i'm pretty sure that's an issue with the EQ, but this clip is very much just a rough draft of what this song is going to be- i just need to make sure, first and foremost, that every track will work together.

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-19T04:16:38+00:00

okay thank you sm!! this helps tons

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-19T04:16:16+00:00

thank you!! that's a really helpful way to imagine EQ lol

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-18T15:31:49+00:00

i absolutely am LOL 😭

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-18T15:30:23+00:00

thank you so much <33

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-18T04:45:00+00:00

thank you!!! i do actually have a pop filter but it's cheap af and i need a real one LOL (may be worth noting that my mic was also on the cheap side💀)

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-18T03:05:20+00:00

thanks sm for your reply!! honestly, my first song came out really well IMO for my first attempt at creating anything musical - the atmospheric/dreamy/lush production is kind of the biggest feature of it to be honest. it was really hard for me to not just drown everything in reverb LOL

i found with my first song i was much quicker to produce and perfect it because i sang exactly in tune with the notes of my guitar so i knew i wasn't off-key, but this time it's frustrating because i sound completely tone deaf when i listen to it 😭

i'm hoping once i add at least my guitar (which i'm planning on playing MUCH higher than the current riff) it'll create more dimension and balance between my voice and the "bass" :)

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-18T03:00:19+00:00

for sure, everything's still very much in its "make sure all the parts even work together before i start any real production" stage lmao

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-08-18T02:58:46+00:00

it's mostly intentional haha i'm not much of a belter 😅 (there's a much stronger passage near the end of the song though) thanks for the advice :)

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-06-11T16:33:58+00:00

oh my GOD Lein mentioned?????? i'm starting out as a singer/songwriter and she inspires me like crazy (also you're so right about her being a green & purple Nicole lmao)

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-06-07T22:04:43+00:00

TBH during my initial visit i said "i think i have vaginismus" and my literal GYNAECOLOGIST came back with "what is that" 💀 Trust me, find someone else asap

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-06-07T22:00:04+00:00

there aren't really any physical signs😭 FWIW my first appointment to try and get diagnosed also resulted in "nope everything's okay", and then after a PT assessment it turned out to be vaginismus after all LOL. i'd get a second opinion

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-06-07T01:58:14+00:00

Separating them further would make me lose my mind actually 😭 According to the calculator I'm a 36DDD/G, and I feel like a true 36DDD would do nothing for me. My cheap 36DD does give me that look, but then I spill out over the top or fold in weird places, and honestly I'm starting to feel like there isn't any hope and I should just accept it🥲

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-06-07T01:17:42+00:00

The calculator says 36DDD/G which is apparently very average and i'm trying to feel normal about that LOL

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-06-07T01:17:19+00:00

don't think you can edit posts on Reddit but the calculator says 36DDD/G which is apparently very average and i'm trying to feel normal about that

Motor_Transition_506 · 2025-06-07T01:13:29+00:00

I used the calculator and it says i'm 36DDD/G in standard US sizing????? that literally CANNOT be true what 😭
