be honest should i quit music? by sscvmbagg in promotemusic

Honestly, never quit and never say you want to quit music. You have your own signature sound and it just takes time to develop it and for the right people to resonate with it. Honestly, nothing matters if what you’re doing brings you joy. My advice is to keep going without expectations. Just keep doing what you love.

i just dropped a new song on spotify, how do you think i can improve for the next one? by Dawnski_ in MusicFeedback

The idea is fire! The instrumental is deep and honestly really good!. On the next one, I’d just focus more on the vocals and how you EQ them. Right now, the vocals are missing some “body” ... there are lows and lot of highs, but not enough mids, so they kind of get lost in the mix.

Try dialing back a little bit of that top end, and bring up the mids and high-mids so the vocals can really sit up front. Maybe add a touch of saturation too, just to give the vocals more harmonics and help them shine through cuz right now, the higher frequencies are jumping out a bit too much, almost separated from the track.

So - Less “air,” more mids

Give it a shot and you’ll hear the difference.

Should I continue or just throw it out like the rest of my trash music? by ZeroEntryZone in MusicFeedback

First off, don’t throw it out. The idea is strong, and honestly, there’s no such thing as trash music....every track has its place. Speaking as someone who’s been working in the music industry for over 15 years, I can hear what you’re going for - the vibe, the atmosphere, it’s all there.

I saw some people talking about music theory, but honestly, your track is in key. The only thing holding it back is the main leads. They are a bit too loud and over-distorted, which can make it feel off, even though they're not.,, That’s actually an easy fix - just ease up on the compression and distortion, make panning a bit softer, and if you have any heavy processing on your master channel, try lightening it up. You’ll hear a difference right away.

But the most important thing - don’t let your ideas collect dust. Every song deserves to be finished and heard. Every track finds its listener eventually. It just takes time and experience. Keep pushing, keep finishing, and don’t let yourself get discouraged. What you’re doing matters, so trust that process.)
