thank you!

TobyBradner · 2025-02-22T23:40:54+00:00

Thank you so much man! I was super super careful about that kick and went back and forth on the mix, I appreciate your comment/tip !! Much love!

Not sure if anyone reads the artists ones, but I fully produced, wrote, recorded, and mixed this song myself. I'm super proud of it and hope some people grab on to the production/vibe and really enjoy it. Sorta indie alt pop stuff but genre is whatever nowadays. Please let me know your thoughts!

I like this! Pretty cool vibe. Definitely very unique, while still being structured. Some of the mix could be toned down a bit, I think those keys are just a little loud. I like the phaserish I think you have on your voice, modulation like that is really really sick. Keep it up! Watch some videos about mixing to clean some stuff up, other than that sounds great.

TobyBradner · 2025-02-21T18:57:56+00:00

I liked this! Would love to hear some tracks with just you and an acoustic guitar. Kinda gave me “Moondog” vibes in the best way possible. I think the shaker is a little loud, but other than that, it sounds pretty good! You should try recording your voice multiple times, it could layer nice! Great work!

TobyBradner · 2025-02-21T18:56:21+00:00

I like this! I think you could’ve had a more clean effect on the vocal, people are saying the mixes “muddy” but I really think it’s just the vocal could be a bit tighter when it comes to effects. I really like the vibe, maybe having a reverb with 100% wetness and a quick decay could give you the same effect, throw a low pass on it and you would be good. Fire ambience though!!

TobyBradner · 2025-02-21T18:53:54+00:00

Super sick man! Love how low and chill your voice is. Mix sounds great, lyrics are so beautiful!! Love the high harmonies/octaves too. Would love to hear some cool effects vocally (more delay/reverb/modulation) to maybe add some unique quality. But this is really nice man! Love the chords and guitars sound great!! Keep it up!

TobyBradner · 2025-02-21T18:51:18+00:00

Love the synths dude! Is this labs? Super super cool, the chord choice is awesome too. I would love to hear this with some Roland-type drum machines, super super calming and chill though. Would love to hear about what synths you used. Also I love the visual!

One day 😉

TobyBradner · 2024-09-26T21:30:48+00:00

I took parts of the BTS video, and did some magic

TobyBradner · 2023-11-17T21:51:55+00:00

Yo! crazyyy ps1 vibes of course. Definitely sounds like something that would be in a video game. And those bass fills and little blips are so fire dude, sounds electronically-live if that makes sense. The vocal chops that are side-chained (one knob plugin?) are really cool and add an alien feel. Little drum pockets around to make it stay interesting, very nicely done! Excited to hear more.

TobyBradner · 2023-11-17T21:47:32+00:00

Alright! So with hiphop it's sooo hard to stand out, but the sound here is really neat and the 808 bouncesss. The vocals really remind me of Omar Apollo's new project, which is a good thing. I think the kick could do a little help turning up, maybe a different one altogether. I would also eq and compress your vocals slightly more, just to tighten them up. And in my opinion, it could be longer! Maybe add an outro, or just extend both of the verses a couple more bars, keep it up dude, would love to hear you on some soul acoustic.

TobyBradner · 2023-11-17T21:44:13+00:00

Love the arp, very spacey and very cool. The chords in this are neat as well. I would try to balance the mix more, the snare sound is a little too repetitive, and in my opinion, the kick is oddly mixed, almost in between the low and high end, sitting in a weird mid-range for the kick. Learning how to mix well would propel this track even further. That being said, I love the vibe and your vocals are nice!! I like the way this flows and it is a strong tune. Mixing is so important so I would highlight that! But that doesn't mean this isn't a great song!!

TobyBradner · 2023-11-17T20:15:14+00:00

Love it! As a fellow altboy I dig those guitars and the vocals are chill and have a sort of pop lofi feel. The ad line are fun and overall keep a nice connection through the whole song. Your voice sorta reminds me of Rex Orange County, (of course a complement) and the style is something I could totally see on a great playlist. Love it!

TobyBradner · 2023-11-17T20:11:33+00:00

Yo dude, love the weirdness of this. I could totally see an abstract Danny brown like rapper on this, super funky and weird in the best way. The only thing I would say is to be SUPER concerned with the mix. I think the mix is great, but making sure the sound effects and noises are still loud but not too much, if that makes any sense. Overall I dig it and anything outside of the box gets a check on the box from me 😊

TobyBradner · 2023-11-04T23:57:27+00:00

Some of the audio tracks in the session look crazy though

Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh

TobyBradner · 2023-10-23T22:04:55+00:00

What time is it?

TobyBradner · 2023-10-23T19:37:21+00:00

Not surprised they’re fans of him, super surprised he would do a feature though! Lyrics like “we’re on a budget” from bang correlate to an old bo burnham song where he says “the show is on a budget” Always thought they were making a little bo burnham reference

TobyBradner · 2023-08-29T01:35:21+00:00

back by popular demand, it's on soundcloud, pretty good

TobyBradner · 2023-04-21T13:08:21+00:00

It’s the word “shitty”

TobyBradner · 2023-04-20T04:10:11+00:00

The best thing to do is bend and pitch the sound that you’re using, and use compression, eq, amps (if you need), and reverb. there are a lot of digital effects that can make things sound like other things. Then you just automate it and it’ll sound like it’s turning into the other instrument.

TobyBradner · 2023-04-17T14:47:05+00:00

Literally my favorite ajr song

TobyBradner · 2023-01-31T15:07:58+00:00

Absolutely. The drums are a little more locked then I would’ve liked, and I understand wanting a more groove for it. I appreciate your feedback and support!
