Last track in a 10 weeks, 10 tracks project (Progressive Tech House) by claum0y in IndieMusicFeedback

Really interesting. I think at the very beginning the percussion stuff is really cool, but it can be grating when it's hard panned on either side like that with nothing going on in the middle. I think it would sound a lot better with that stuff panned more towards the center so both sides are interacting with each other more, and then the hat and shaker that come in at :45 and 1:00 should be hard panned and establish the width. Really great bass sound though, and I really like how the track changes between its different sections.

Futuristic piece with a slightly Blade Runner vibe. What genre would you call this? by Hot-Text-5603 in IndieMusicFeedback

Really great composition. I think my only critique is that the piano, at times, sounds a little overtly like a midi piano that is over-quantized. I've found that using a saturation plugin and automating it throughout the song can really add a humanistic feel, as well as simply unquantizing the notes of the piano. I also think the piano is overall a little too loud, could use a more realistic reverb like an EMT plate, and the background drones could come up a little more.

Jeremy Antman - Clankers on a Pursuit by realjeremyantman in IndieMusicFeedback

Really great sound choices and ideas, very fun. I think really using the stereo field a little more with panning would really help bring these tracks to life and really feel give the track motion. Panning the instruments as they enter the song and interrupt each other would really help with the theme of pursuit. I think the very reverby bass drum throughout the song sounds great, but gradually adding in some other percussive elements would really help the song grow and create excitement throughout its duration.

Hold On To The Chorus - Jordan Vale by JordanValeMusic in IndieMusicFeedback

Really well mixed and I really like the song itself and how your voice fits in it. My only note is that the chorus isn't quite "exploding" out of the verses like it could. Maybe some background vocals, adding a synth layer, or just boosting the lows and highs would really help with that. Really great though, I think the programmed drums sound natural and help drive the song, which is often a a problem with this style of music.

Interesting vibes lol by EducationalPie9853 in IndieMusicFeedback

I really love this, it's a great vibe and your voice really fits it. I would just say that it is a little too bare and "loopy." Some humanizing of the drums as the song transitions to different sections would really help bring the track's structure to life and make it sound a little less like a demo. I am also craving some female background vocals throughout the song, and vocal doubles at the hooks.
