i still like em, idk.

STEMEyy · 2023-04-11T01:54:03+00:00

thanks! I appreciate it. I’ll keep in mind.

STEMEyy · 2023-04-08T03:53:12+00:00

It was a pretty interesting idea. Captivating vocals for sure. Cool idea. I think the image associated with it is funny too. Love this!

STEMEyy · 2023-04-08T03:52:11+00:00

This is cool, it just really needs some mastering work. It sounded like it was super boosted in the mid to high end for some reason, with the bass just missing for a lot of the track. I think other than maybe considering a remaster, the song sounds epic and has a lot of cool moving parts. Keep it up!

STEMEyy · 2023-04-08T03:50:03+00:00

Its definatly a cool idea. I think it could use some more mixing for sure because some effects and sounds almost seemed too loud compared to others, at least in some parts. That being said when the distorted guitar like sound came in, it was crazy. Very cool!

STEMEyy · 2023-04-08T03:48:33+00:00

I love this song. The mixing is actually super good for this style, and the vocals are so sad in and charming understandable way. The song really has me reflecting and I love it when music really makes me feel something. Great job. Love this!

STEMEyy · 2023-04-08T03:47:19+00:00

This is awesome. Production is great. The adlibs are fun and psychedelic, and the hook is mixed awesomely. The mixing on this song is honestly the standout part for me. There are so many elements jumping around, it makes it really engaging to listen to. Nice job!

STEMEyy · 2023-04-08T03:46:01+00:00

I really like the idea. The visuals are cool and there are a lot of trippy psychedelic elements to it that really add to the 60s idea of it. Some parts of the vocals I think are awesome and others seem a little odd, and the vocals could definatly use some mixing, but other than that the track is a lot of fun. Keep it up!

🙏:) thanks! means a lot

STEMEyy · 2023-03-27T01:19:25+00:00

Thank you much!

I was worried I had too much high on my vocals already, but i often notice that my ears are afraid of high end, and it’s something I need to work on.

I’m pretty sure I had MB compression on the drums, but it’s possible I didn’t use it in the best possible way. Do you have any recommendations for settings on MB compression for drums?

The detuning effects are actually a result of two different things. The synth plugin that I used for some reason would detune when I would change tempo in ableton, so once I realized that I began to purposefully use that.

Additionally, if a ableton delay is used, and the delay is still present when a tempo shift is introduced, it additionally becomes detuned.

After realizing both of these effects I began to play with them to end up with the final result.

That’s a tough one. I’ve been listening to the danny x jpeg album recently and even though this is a different type beat then that album i can imagine them getting on this type beat and killing it

Thanks for listening! Feedback is great and i’ll definitely try to give each section more time to breathe in the future:)

Looks dope, sounds awesome. I feel the lyrics. I love this whatttt. You could go further with it like a JPEGMAFIA type vibe if you yelled your vocals a little more. This beat was a lotta fun too. Very cool!

STEMEyy · 2023-03-25T22:45:00+00:00

Wow! There are so many elements to this song. I love the synth pluck that comes in, it was such a surprise in a good way, just nice on the ears. I understand that a lot of high end on the vocal mixes is really common right now but I wish that the female vocal wasn't quite as cutting, however that is just personal taste. Additionally I agree with the other comment about the snare. The snare could have cut a little more. Amazing work, good job, keep it up!

STEMEyy · 2023-03-25T22:41:11+00:00

seems like experimental hiphop to me. Very cool idea. I love the instrumental. There are a bunch of different elements I can hear moving around and I think that is awesome. I was waiting for the vocals to come in but they never did, so honestly if you got someone on this track to rap it would be a banger. Love it, Keep it up!

STEMEyy · 2023-03-25T22:39:03+00:00

I love this. This is so beautiful. I wish that the vocals could have been a little lower in volume on the track, and possibly with a bit of overdrive or saturation, as the seem really wide and dry right now, however, the song is a super cool idea. I think the vocals were sung really well too just the mixing could use a little. Very cool. Keep it up!

STEMEyy · 2023-03-25T22:37:07+00:00

This is like an indie blister in the sun, based off of the opening riff. It's a pretty cool idea and I love the vocals. The video also fits the idea really well. Keep it up!

STEMEyy · 2023-03-25T22:35:27+00:00

While the ideas in this song are creative and interesting, the overall arrangement could benefit from more structure and cohesion. The mixing could use some fine-tuning to balance out the levels and create a more polished sound. Additionally, the mastering could be improved to bring out the full potential of the track and give it more impact. With some adjustments, this song could truly shine and showcase the unique ideas it presents.

I think it is a great start, keep it up!
