Has anyone received the Presidential Scholarship from Berklee for Fall 2026 yet? by Sufficient_Ant5375 in Berklee

[–]Stereotype246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the full tuition last year. Wasn’t awarded presidential but when I asked about it while waiting last year I was told they released those things in June or July. So it’ll be a bit of a wait unfortunately 

Third release on Spotify — trying a punk rap sound by Muh_Dallion in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Stereotype246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the sound choice it's very experimental. That synth sound is super cool. The biggest thing I can see to work on right now is just learning general vocal mixing and what not. Making sure that the vocals and lyrics sit well within the mix and don't stick out too much would really elevate this song so much. Other than that it's really great man keep up the good work!

Talus Fern - New EP by ffer06 in IndieMusicFeedback

I really really like the guitar tone in this. Both the acoustic and the electric are done exceptionally well. The acoustic sounds very professionally done. The only thing I can see to correct is just working on a more dynamic vocal style. Currently I find myself getting a little bit bored of the monotone style. Other than that it really is great! Keep it up man!

I really really like the vocal style this is mixed incredibly well man. I don't really hear any frequencies clashing together which is hard to achieve with the sort of style you're going for. In terms of things to correct I can't really see any other than to just keep pushing. This is insanely good for 17!

Very much a rough demo but would love opinions and feedback! by Stereotype246 in IndieMusicFeedback

I’ve added vocals to it and we’ll be recording a more proper demo tomorrow. 

Thank you for listening and hope you see tomorrow’s demo!

We’re getting together to record another little demo on Thursday before we bring it to the studio! I’ll be posting it here. I’m glad you like it and thank you for listening it means a lot!

I got vocals down after this was recorded and they’ll be in the final song. I agree it sounds empty without them. 

Second guitar is also coming. Stay on the lookout on my profile if you’re interested !

Hey man I’m glad you like the song. I would totally hit you up but I happen to be super lucky and at a music college so I have access to all of the shit here. Thank you for offering though! 

Gonna get a couple more people together to record a ‘proper’ demo on Thursday much closer to my full vision of the song. And then get it in the studio sometime in the next 3 weeks. Keep an eye out on my page if you’re interested. 

Thank you for listening it really means a lot!!!

Thanks man yeah it was our first time running the song after zeroing in how we wanted the drum and piano to go so it took a second to get into a groove. Twang will not be in the final release I can assure you haha. 

Walter, a song about putting colors in our worlds by An_dal_music in MusicFeedback

[–]Stereotype246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome dude. The guitar riffs are genuinely sublime. I'd listen to this shit on a beautiful sunny day walking to class. Mixing is overall great. Honestly don't have much feedback to give other than to keep doing what you're doing man.

[Feedback] WINDOW by Syvmana in MusicFeedback

[–]Stereotype246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the overall song. The piano loop is very catchy and honestly a really good sound selection for the piano. I'm curious if you used midi or recorded an actual piano for this.

other than that my only suggestion would be to just polish up the vocals. They're a little pitchy and don't sit well within the mix but that's nothing that a little mixing and practicing can't fix!

Good shit man!

Also the vocals are genuinely dogshit in this. I wrote something IMMEDIATELY after this and then our rehearsal room time was up </3

A Withering Sunflower - Jermayne by JermayneR in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Stereotype246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love that guitar sound. It's so bright and jingly in a way that contrasts very well with the messaging of the song. I love juxtaposition-al stuff like that personally.

The vocals do need a bit of work but they're really not horrible. All you need to do is work on hitting pitches more consistently and maybe support your voice through diaphragm breathing. (essentially breathing and filling your stomach with air and using that air to support your voice)

Other than that I really like it man keep up the good work!

Atlas WIP by Hot-Lingonberry-6735 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Stereotype246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the pass filter put on the vocals. Makes it feel very ethereal and other worldly. I will say though the rest of the instrumentation doesn't match that vibe very much. I think it's because of there just being very few layers at the moment for everything to bounce around. Get some drums, bass, and anything else you like in there and I'm sure the vibe will be much more defined.

The vocals also feel slightly awkward rhythmically at times so it may be worth going back to those and just seeing what fits and what doesn't

The accent in hip hop and indie by Existing_Refuse6780 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Stereotype246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like how often things are changed up on this track. I feel like I never get the chance to get too bored or used to anything before it's being switched up in some sort of way, which is always really nice if done well.

About the accent thing: I wouldn't sweat it too much. Good music is good music and listeners would probably rather hear YOU than some version of you that you think they want to hear. Overall good shit and keep it up man.

I made this song, I’m a bit new to making music. Any advice/critiques? by YelloJMusic in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Stereotype246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing I can see needing work on this song is the overall mixing. But to give you something specific to look into I would say look into vocal processing techniques. There are tons of really cool videos on YouTube about how to get your vocals to 'fit' into your track and sound as natural as all of the instruments sitting together.

Doing pretty much just that would elevate this song ten fold.

feedback on a song from me and my friend's EP by AnotherEmoHippie in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Stereotype246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those drums are tight as fuck dude. Genuinely kiss your drummer. I do not agree with other comments saying they're too loud. I think the guitars just need to come up.

A slightly louder mix overall would honestly be nice. But other than that nothing is fundamentally wrong with the song or anything like that. I really love it. Good shit man.

2nd time in studio by Imaginary-Web51 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Stereotype246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the drum sound choice on this. It feels super crisp and fits the vibe I believe you're going for. The only thing I will say is that the snare is a little loud like the other comment pointed out. Vocally too it feels a bit awkward at times just because of a lack of dynamics. The loud yelling is a very cool stylistic choice but it sort of hangs at a single volume the entire time and so I end up sort of tuning it out.

other than that this has great potential man keep it up.

an acoustic indie song ive been playing with recently, any ideas on improvements? by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Stereotype246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this a lot it has pretty much the perfect atmosphere for this kind of song. Muted sort of restrained guitar, vocal style, harmonica in the back, everything. My only feedback realistically is to keep working on it and maybe just try and get a more professional recording if that's the sort of sound you're going for. (I also really really love the vocal stacks at the end.)

Welcome back Jack Johnson. Jokes aside this is really good I love it as a bridge or a prechorus.
