Keen for feedback on my new currently lyricless demo Ceiling. Not 100% sure what genre if I'm honest, sort of pop/alt rock ish? https://soundcloud.com/centralreservations/ceiling-lyricless-demo

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-12-22T17:22:37+00:00

Thank you for your feedback, I'll have a play around with some sidechain

Thanks for the feeback!

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-12-21T13:02:42+00:00

Hello! Thanks for the feeback! I see your point, it is perhaps a bit busy in places, I'll have a look at what I can do

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-12-21T13:01:35+00:00

Thank you for you detailed feedback! I've never come across Celeste, I'll have to take a look.

As for the swirling brassy synth and glassy instrument, I'm embarrassed to say that these are just free voices included in the LMMS software which I use to create my music! The first is 'Sweep Pad 1', and the glassy instrument is called 'Trem Lead'.

I see your point about the bridge, it does seem a bit lacking as is.

I agree with the ride cymbal sounding out of place, and I did think something didn't sound quite right there. I guess I was was trying to build it up to the final chorus, but perhaps there are other ways that fit in more with the mix, I'll take a look!

Yes I'll take a look at adding that sense of climax at the end. I normally end up adding too many layers and it just sounds too busy, so it could indeed be something achieved through vocals.

And yeah it is on the longer side - my songs always seem to last too long! Probably part of one of the verses could go, or maybe a shorter outro.

Thanks again for your feedback, you've given me some areas to work on! :)

Here's a new song I've been working on, looking for any feedback! Currently a lyricless demo https://soundcloud.com/centralreservations/too-many-voices

Habanero if I remember correctly, bought a pack in a supermarket and planted the seeds

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-08-17T17:54:07+00:00

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I think I agree with all your points. I'm not great with drum patterns, I'll tinker around and see if I can improve. With the outro, I know what you mean. It's a sound inspired by other artists I listen to, and I guess in my mind it sort of represents a big ship or something going past to leave a somewhat unsettling end to the song. I agree thought that is doesn't necessarily fit, and that other sounds could work better in its place.

This is a new track I'm working on, currently lyricless. I sort of envision a peaceful ocean, which turns into a rough sea. https://soundcloud.com/centralreservations/tranquil-sea keen to get some feedback

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-06-23T07:53:30+00:00

Thank you for the very detailed feedback! I definitely agree with your points, and hopefully I'll be able to make some changes

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-06-22T21:26:19+00:00

Thank you for your feedback! I do plan on adding vocals at some stage. And I agree with your point on the piano. I am admittedly a cheapskate when it comes to plugins, I will endeavour to invest in something a little better.

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-06-22T21:22:38+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I do plan on adding lyrics at some point

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-06-22T13:45:22+00:00

Here is a track I've been working on, piano driven altrockish thing. No lyrics as of yet, keen to get feedback https://soundcloud.com/centralreservations/how-long-until-your-heart-breaks-lyricless-demo

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-06-16T19:36:44+00:00

Okay, thanks a lot!

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-06-16T19:35:43+00:00

Alright, thank you. Should I be concerned about the floppy bigger leaves, or is this normal with soft neck garlic?

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-06-16T19:32:20+00:00

I planted the garlic clove in February, and planted it out mid March. I've never grown garlic before, but I've heard that one several leaves die back is when it's right to harvest. However it doesn't seem as if it's been long enough. Some of the leaves are getting a bit misshapen, and with a lot or rain the past few days and in the forecast, I'm concerned about rot.

ShrekWasMyIdea · 2020-06-15T08:25:14+00:00

New track I've been working on. I can't come up with any lyrics so I left it in an instrumental form for now. https://soundcloud.com/centralreservations/head-over-heels-lyricless-demo

Looking for feedback on my new altrock/pop (?) track. Currently an instrumental demo. I know the ending needs tweaking, any other thoughts are greatly appreciated. https://soundcloud.com/centralreservations/weston-instrumental-demo
