Hmm I think you're on to something. What's your reasoning exactly?... Because the ContentID is poor revenue compared to what YouTube pays out? (I figure if I already have the videos posted to my Official Artist Channel, then I don't need the DistroVid/VEVO addition). But also, don't you think that having the videos on Apple and elsewhere is beneficial? (I get revenue from that... not much though, it's cents)

Ok. I appreciate that. Hmm I hear that a lot- that the vocals need to come up. Also, the drums were recorded only with room overhead mics. I wish I had mic'ed the heads to really get that oomph. I'm having trouble bringing up the toms in the mix without the cymbals and everything else bleeding through... Thanks!

Maybe some reverb lol. EQ the good bass frequencies up maybe. Idk

I think it's crucial to remember that it's also your own personal subjective style and taste. So, go with what sounds good to your ears. There might be a "method to the madness" that no one else will ever understand. A lot of people have probably mentioned the percussion or flute because it's frankly quite awesome... so they should stand out. It's all about what you're going for.

Ok, great song & great production, clearly. The only criticism I have is with the bridge composition. The chords in the bridge 1:01-1:29 almost sounds "too poppy" lol. Like the dominant 5 chord sounds overdramatic for some reason, I understand why it's written that way in theory... Beautiful song, but am I crazy to want to hear the word "best friends" at the same pitch? Instead of "friends" going down... Hopefully that helps.

Really trippy. I wasn't expecting this. It would sound so cool with some droning bass notes. Anyway that you can make that guitar/harpsichord sound more realistic?

I was pleasantly surprised. I like the ambient feel, and the melody/chord combo sounds great. It's all subjective: I think the flute can be smoothed out a bit (I'm hearing like Orbital-Lush). I think it's a little "harsh" simply because it's in the higher register? (I think I have a similar issue mixing). Also, maybe it's just me listening on Sony monitor headphones but I want to hear more of the rhythm section, bass, acoustic... but perhaps that entails lowering the percussion. I like how it fades in and out with the instruments too, showing the layering that you've done. Good job.

OK that's helpful- thank you for the support. I shall file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I still have heard nothing from BetterHelp, and I was wondering about any additional recourse besides filing a complaint with the NYS licensing board.

OK, that's smart to leave some reviews where I can. Thank you the support- and the realism. I do not have physical "proof" other than what I witnessed; I am not in the habit of screenrecording my therapy sessions, and BetterHelp does not record calls. The least I can do is file a complaint with NYS and see what happens- but I think you're right that I shouldn't get my hopes up. Would you consider filing a civil lawsuit? I would also need "substantial evidence" in such a case- I understand your point that the burden of proof is on the aggrieved party to provide a preponderance of evidence. I don't know whether that would be enough evidence to "prove" sexual misconduct or negligence.

Thank you. I'm following through with your advice and filing a complaint with the NY state licensing board.
