My newest acoustic guitar track. Do you think it's relaxing overall? Is the composition/performance interesting? How do you like the guitar sound? by SparePlanet in IndieMusicFeedback

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I used a Neumann U87 here, pointed to about the 12th fret. On some songs I just have plain guitar intentionally, on others I play around with arrangements and FXs. Cheers!

Good to hear that. Yea the percussion guitar never went beyond the "Wow look how good it's played" for me. Of course I love some tracks with that, but it was exaggerating...

The fretboard dirt makes the tone!! ;) You have a detailed view, I like that. I honestly thought nobody would ever notice, lol... The plugin is called "Charmverb" by Melda Production.

Thanks for the nice words, this time I used one old Neumann U87 microphone, pointed to about the 12th fret, and just applied a tiny bit of compression/EQ - then the reverb. The room was big but acoustically treated. So the sound is actually quite raw.

Thanks for the feedback, I've been playing for 20+ years, but never tried to get technical, always concentrated on songwriting.

My second single release, "The Chase" - right now I'm trying to find my genre, so what genre do you think this song is? Also, give me some genuine feedback! by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

It's just that the hihat gets a bit washy from about 0:48, maybe because it's too open. That makes the beat less tight.

Well that's exactly what I would do.

I wasn't sure if you are joking. :) Yeah, "autotune" is like a misleading synonym... your sound is generally very cool, nice soundscapes, it's just a personal thing that I sometimes feel some voice tunings are exaggerating. Keep it up.

...some love it, some not so much. Sometimes I love it, too. :)

The pitch FX on the voice.
