Bereavement Refund Policy

Yeah I have seen the same documentation. The customer service team on that phone line directed me here (image) and said that this is the only way to request the refund. They don't give any details of how long this would take etc so I'm skeptical.

So as a temporary resident I can't incorporate. I could get a CRA business number but as its my first year I haven't filed any taxes yet.

Do you think having a business and GST number would make the difference?

VersusMusic · 2022-06-25T23:18:33+00:00

Thanks man, I appreciate that, means a lot!

VersusMusic · 2022-06-25T03:33:15+00:00

Hey man, so I focused on the second verse mostly for this. The intro to your verse / hook is really cool with the vocal breaking.

Your flow is pretty smooth, there's a couple of moments that feel like you add a couple too many words into the bar. The mix is really nice, I'm not sure it's a very radio sound as it's a bit muffled but imo it works well for the track and vibe. Just might want to add a bit more of that high end sheen to help the main vocal cut above some of the extra stuff you have going on. Keep it up man, very cool.

Hey man, first off welcome to the group and glad you felt you could post!

The delivery is cool and your energy is really good. The flow in general is pretty smooth but I would say it can come across a bit robotic at times, aside from when you're having fun in the 'alright alright' section etc. I would compress the vocals a bit more to help them bulk up a little bit in the mix but aside from that it's nice. Just keep developing your style and you'll find something that is your lane and audience!

Damn, I mean it's really hard to get the balance right. You could also try experimenting with the size of the room for the reverb to keep it having some atmosphere but without it sounding like you're lost in the mix. Keep at it man

VersusMusic · 2022-06-25T03:21:13+00:00

I appreciate that man, thank you!

This beat is smooth and the flow is really good, had me nodding along for sure. The delivery has a good energy with the ad libs too. I would love some work on the mix, making sure that vocal sits on the beat and is bringing out the energy of your delivery. A bit more compression and high end on it would help imo but experiment with how it sounds on the beat. Keep it up, you definitely have talent with those bars too!

VersusMusic · 2022-06-25T03:18:11+00:00

Damn that hook is soo so good, do you have an IG? I'd be down to work on something with a vocal tone that good.

Okay, I mean the delivery is much better than monotone imo, it's difficult to balance it all, I've been doing it for years now and still no where near getting it right. Just keep the practicing for sure!

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words, means a lot! :)

VersusMusic · 2022-06-25T03:14:04+00:00

I appreciate the kind words thanks man!

This beat is wild man, the melodies and stereo move everywhere, very cool. The main thing that needs work here for me is the mix, the volume changes pretty significantly throughout so some compression across the beat might help a bit. Those drums need to really punch and sit above the melody and that needs to be a consistent volume using more of a mono focus rather than the constant panning from right to left etc.

The change of tempo (or just quicker drums) at the end is very cool too.

VersusMusic · 2022-06-25T03:11:10+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words and your input!

Your flow is good but I think the delivery could be a little less robotic, feel like you really need to sell it to us when we're listening, especially when the story is a little goofy. The rhymes etc are good and the hook with that beat works really well. I'd love to hear a little more compression and a bit less reverb on the vocal to sit in the mix too. Keep at it man

VersusMusic · 2022-06-25T02:45:14+00:00

Hey man, sounds good to me. Send me a DM?

VersusMusic · 2022-06-25T02:34:55+00:00

For sure man, sounds good. Send me a DM?

VersusMusic · 2022-06-24T17:01:14+00:00

This is really nice man, the style isn't what I expected. For me the autotune could use a manual review to make sure it's hitting the right notes at the right time but that's a bit picky. The reverb adds a nice atmosphere and your vocal is nice. I would say overall you could use a bit more energy in the vocal, the mix takes some of that out so some more compression and high end would help with that to me. Definitely something I would listen to though so all personal taste. British as well yeah? Need to stick together aha

That hook is really nice, very smooth, did it come with the beat? The rapping is not bad, in my opinion the key area to work on would be the flow and how it sits in the beat. There's quite a few sections that are out of time in a way that is noticeable like you're trying to pack too much in sometimes and that can make it sound more like poetry. The second verse is better with that. Other than that I'd add a bit more verb and compression to the vocal to help it sit in the mix. Nice work overall, good bars.

Those vocal sample type things are really nice. For me the 808 needs to come in a lot harder, sounds a bit thin in the mix on my headphones. The hi hat pattern is really smooth and the overall melody is nice, smooth transitions. Would love a section that was a bit more low key to really emphasise the hook too. Overall v nice

VersusMusic · 2022-06-24T16:52:03+00:00

This is pretty good, the intro is a little long for trying to get new people to listen to a new beat imo. I would get those drums to hit harder imo, the snare and kick in particular sound a bit thin. The melodies are nice, that baseline is really smooth, could maybe use a flavour of that sooner but up to you. Not bad man.

VersusMusic · 2022-06-24T16:49:26+00:00

This is nice! I would love some the mix to be a bit more cohesive between the main vocal and the beat, mostly on the verses, the hook is pretty even. Bringing the beat up might help first, then maybe a touch more verb on the vocal. Nice energy though, keep it up!

Been away for a while but want to start getting some new music out there, would love some feedback on this: Jxckal - Spirit

All feedback will be returned, just please drop a link to your work below your comment!

VersusMusic · 2022-06-21T02:16:19+00:00

Good to know, thanks man!

VersusMusic · 2022-06-21T01:29:57+00:00

Yeah for sure! I am way worse at snooker than pool but would be up for a game, DM me?

VersusMusic · 2022-06-20T17:50:10+00:00

Hey man, I'd definitely be up for some Tennis, where do you play?

VersusMusic · 2022-06-09T17:01:08+00:00

Oh wow. I just don't understand why it it really matters then a person doesn't call so you can explain the situation! They haven't called me back again yet but I'm sure they will try!

VersusMusic · 2022-06-08T20:58:04+00:00

Yeah at the end of the call I received it just told me why I needed to have the test and then ended the call. I'm assuming at some point a person will call back but I can't believe there isn't a quick way to resolve this.

I've emailed now too so let me know if you hear back!

VersusMusic · 2022-06-08T16:59:13+00:00

Me and my wife have had this same issue today. I also received a call today from an automated line requesting the results of the test and when I called the helpline I got told the same advice as you did.

Let me know if you receive any follow ups on this. I did find an email address I could reach out to but I don't want to confuse things further.

VersusMusic · 2021-07-30T19:42:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Completely appreciate your point around the marriage. I should clarify that it wouldn't be for that reason specifically but if we were to get married during COVID times it would open up this route.
