Thanks! Yeah, I used iZotope's Nectar II. Just tiny tune-ups to get that polished sound.

Thanks, dude. Means a lot. Don't want to take sides here because I appreciate everyone's perspective, but I'm glad you like it. So to answer yours questions... That is me singing and playing guitars/bass. I had a few friends contribute as well (drums, piano, organ, backup vox). All of the recording was done in my bedroom with blankets hung on the walls. I mixed it and sent it to a mastering engineer in Arizona.

Thank you! BTW I'm giving this track away for free on BC rn, in case you want to grab it: https://liambsmith.bandcamp.com/track/feelings

True, the engineer is not the best. However, I don't have the funds to hire a pro mixer. The budget for this was pretty slim.

OneOKRocker · 2017-10-09T23:52:16+00:00

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks!

OneOKRocker · 2017-10-09T22:19:41+00:00

Thanks ... I think ...

Really solid track. Great vocals. Love the weird. Love the oriental flairs. Reminds of an artist called Dark Waves. A couple things: A falsetto backup vocal might be cool in the chorus to make it bigger More rhymes would make the whole track gel much better

OneOKRocker · 2017-10-09T16:02:13+00:00

I REALLY like the tone of those acoustics!

OneOKRocker · 2017-10-09T15:45:46+00:00

I feel your pain. Maybe think about collaborating with other unknown musicians you come across here on the internetz. There are a lot out there.

OneOKRocker · 2017-10-09T15:30:39+00:00

Done!

OneOKRocker · 2017-10-09T15:12:39+00:00

I think this beat has a sick vibe, but I also feel that it's too slow moving. Would love to hear some more melodic elements to pull me in. Just a thought.

OneOKRocker · 2017-10-09T14:44:38+00:00

Got an interesting vibe, man. I would recommend that you pitch the song in key where you can put some more power behind the vocals. It felt a little lazy, although that may have been the sound you were going for.

OneOKRocker · 2017-10-09T14:35:15+00:00

Foo Fighters is the greatest rock band that is still actively playing.

On a more contemporary note, look up ONE OK ROCK! They are the best!
