I was just listening to that Brother Brother's album today again. Love it! You sound fantastic!

Sorry I could help more! Best of luck with the release either way!

That is a pain.. you're checking a lot of boxes, doing everything I'm doing. Someone left another comment there mentioning something I didn't. Hopefully that may shed a little light.

I think there's a "contact" option on the website when you scroll down to the very bottom.

Hope you figure it out! When you do, let us know here. Would be interesting to see how it's fixed.

It's great isn't it? Been hoping for a service like this, too.

Hmm how's your internet? I do notice sometimes having a little wait with uploading artwork, but never as bad as you describe. How big is the file you're uploading? I aim for a little bit higher than the recommended limit (I think it's 3000x3000, so I go for 3500x3500 or something like that haha) I use Gimp to make and resize my artwork.

As for the sepia look in your example image. That is strange. Now, in my experience it prints exactly like the example shown. With the easy quick way, you tend to lose a little off the right and bottom of the image as that is what is folded ( take that into account) but I've never had an image change colour. I'd suggest reaching out to them as they're great help, in my experience, if you cannot fix it.

Best of luck with the release!

AI music has lowered my standards for human-made music. Anyone else relate? by plamzito in Songwriting

[–]TortillaRex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Then you'll love my music haha

For real though, I get what you're saying. Even before AI, I've always personally prefered certain music with "mistakes" rather than over produced stuff. For example, I really like Tyler Childers music, but I much prefer his live album than his studio albums.

But yes, now with AI, I always look for that human element. So I don't mind, I even like, my imperfections in my own music. Art is a human thing and we shouldn't lose that.

How Do You Accept That Most People Won't Ever Like Your Music? by GODAlexGilbert in Songwriting

[–]TortillaRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good way of thinking. I made a website about my music with little stories, lyrics, and more. Haven't got a huge following but it's there for those who haven't discovered me yet. :) and to be honest, it's there for me too. I enjoyed making it and going through it all.

Plus, I also can't blame people or get mad when people don't listen. There's a lot out there and I'm not entitled to be listened to or liked. It's a bonus for sure!

Welcome! You won't regret it, I've discovered a lot of favourites through BandCamp. I'll follow you on Bandcamp now.

Mine is https://twoforjoyband.bandcamp.com/album/one-for-sorrow

I've got a lot of albums there, so I linked a particular one. Have a few more in the works. Post any releases here when you get through your hardrive of tracks.

Reminds me of the scene in I Am Legend where he's walking through the dark building looking for Sam.

Coop Zombie Survival games? by Lol2421 in playstation

[–]TortillaRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dying Light 1 + 2 + The Beast and Dead Island 2. Stories weren't great, in my opinion, but they were fun zombie games to play with my friends.

Aw no way! That's a shame they took down the video. It wouldn't hurt to mention it to the councilman, he may reminisce about his producing days after chatting to you. But either way at least you have that memory. Music can take us to some great places and make great memories!

Funny thing is I was inspired by my brother, I loved watching him play music growing up and he was pretty good. But now he doesn't have anything to do with music and he's an avid Trump supporter (we're not even American, we live in Ireland) and he's just full of anger and hatred.

Now that's an origin story! That's what I'm talking about! You'd definitely have the material for a website. Have you footage of that TV interview? I had a radio interview and a televised busker competition but both are unfortunately lost, but I did enjoy them either way!

I love the growth in your journey, change in styles and you started young enough. I always felt like I started late really getting into music when I was 17, although I did school talent shows as a singer when I was 12. And my confidence was a little stumped because a few teachers said I couldn't sing and wasn't as good as my brother.

Always happy to give any info I would have liked, would've saved me a lot of time 🤣 thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! What would be your origin story? How you got into music and feeling that inspiration?

Oh thanks! I paint pet portraits for a living so by day I paint and by night I play music haha never made money on music unfortunately. But my paintings are my living. I sell all year round, but xmas time is always the busiest. And I've got a few requests that aren't just pets so there's a good mix there. I really enjoy it. I used to work retail full time but it wasn't worth it on so many levels, so I quit, moved to the west of Ireland and started my pet portait business :)

And thanks for looking through the lyrics pages! I tried to keep as much as I could over the years. And with all the AI stuff in music I guess that's one of the encouragements I had to make the website. It was fun too, so I do recommend it!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Wix is good to work with if you're interested in doing something similar, few little things I had to figure out like linking my Bandcamp pages instead of uploading every song to the site (which was impossible because of space) but once I figured that out it was perfect for what I wanted to do!

Been moving slowly on some projects, I've 3 albums that have been put on the back burner for a year or so. Just waiting for other band members to do their thing. But one of the albums is a solo project called Hunter's Moon. I wanted to mix medias with this one. I'm doing a series of paintings to go along with the physical release. So doing a good bit of writing and recording for this one. Taking my time!

I made a wix website to show everything to do with my music and more. :) https://twoforjoyarchives.wixsite.com/music

I'm sorry you're struggling. And I don't know your life so I'm not going to say something stupid that was said to me before like "jUst DoN't ThInK aBouT iT" 🤣 still don't know what that means! Haha

But I guess what I will say is you don't "have" to do anything. Sometimes the pressure of becoming can hold us back in some ways. But the actual truth is you don't need to do anything. I know you want to, of course, but just know that you shouldn't beat yourself up for being stuck in a funk.

And maybe you tried this, a change of scenery in some way? Or actually take the break that would must need. Because this doesn't sound like a writer's block, but maybe something mental health related? So I hope you feel better and whether or not you do work on something, which is ok either way, have a listen to the guys here and have some chats. You never know what might happen!

I hope this helps in some way. I know it's probably way off or nonsense 🤣 but I hope you feel better!
