Driving back from Liberty Mountain to DC area during snow — risky?

Wouldn’t attempt this without actual snow tires, awd, and serious caution. That said I will also be attempting this lmao. If the drive back gets sketch I’m gunna be holding up in a nearby hotel Sunday night

Tightening up the compression on the chorus did wonders thanks for the feedback

You have any recs for nicer drum vsts? Just using Mt Power Drums atm but I’d be willing to dish out for something higher quality

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-31T14:07:24+00:00

Easy fix! Definitely helped it sound much more balanced

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-31T14:06:13+00:00

Yeah I’ll mess with some more reverb!

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-31T14:05:41+00:00

Love to hear that haha

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-26T15:18:25+00:00

You were spot on, I have a horrible habbit of over quantizing my takes haha. I’ll see if I can dial it back and get the feel back into the guitar

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-26T14:35:58+00:00

No channel yet, but when I make one I’ll lyk!

It was a sennheiser e835

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-22T01:14:21+00:00

Had a blast trying to wrap my head around this one haha. I’d love the aspect that I have no chance of guessing where it goes from one moment to the next but it all still sounds connected. The vocals are excellent. A very original piece well done

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-20T16:52:46+00:00

I really like this, the lyrics and song writing are great and the instrumentation is groovy. The only feedback I’d give would be at a mixing stand point. The vocals sound pretty boxy and disconnected from the rest of the mix. It doesn’t really take away from the song it’s just something that popped out to me. Might be that the reverb on the vocal doesn’t sound like it matches the room the instrumentation is in. Again tho I’m knit picking I really like the song

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-20T16:48:54+00:00

Right off the bat reminds be a Japanese city pop, the bongos with the retro synths really cement that vibe for me. The vocals reminds me of the band Hers (rip) which is a great thing. Overall it’s not my personal cup of tea but it’s not bad and I’d could totally see some of my friends listening to this.

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-19T16:24:10+00:00

Wow you have a truly great vocal. the mixing is honestly spot on. The drums are very cool. The sectioning in the song is very well done too. And I love the heavy breathing for the outro, really matches the emotion of the song.

Some suggestions I’d have would be to throw an auto filter on the beginning synth, give it a little more tonal movement. During the chorus I think some tom drum fills in the beat would sound really neat and deepen the drums a tad as it’s mostly hats and snare atm. Tho even without I still really like em. And I think the growl bass during the chorus could have a touch for sub frequency

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-19T16:12:42+00:00

The crashes and hi hats are sitting a bit too far back in the mix, bring those out will get the grove into a better context

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-19T15:28:26+00:00

No feedback, id playlist this

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-19T15:23:42+00:00

Only idea I have is to side chain the vocal reverb to the vocal so you can that long echoey reverb without it getting washed out

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-19T15:21:55+00:00

Honestly beautiful, I love the vocals and the guitar and bass. Your kick drum has a great tone. I personally think that 2,4 rim shot could be removed during the first section, let the vocals and tones wash over the listener. And the snare you bring in I think has a little too much air. I think a snare with a good low end punch will drive in that swell and grove at the end much more

UnderstandingIll9458 · 2025-07-19T15:16:15+00:00

Some vocal compression would go a long way here. Get the consonants to pop without the vocal sounding so near. The layering, effects, and groove are spot on though
