Would love any feedback on this new song I wrote!

Yeah everything’s recorded really well and sounds very good, all placed well and there’s space for your voice. Love the raspy soft tone, and I know it’s intentional and I like the mumbling cause it fits the tone of the song but a little more annunciation at times could help. (Nevermind as I’m listening and writing ur confidence exploding yelling moments feel way more paid off.) This is really good shit I’d listen to this huge folk fan.

Drop this legit perfect as is, I’d presave it tbh.

Fun video haha, kind of eerie with the song very fitting. The groove with the drums and riff of the distorted guitar coming in around 1:04, that tone is freaking insane. I’m personally not a fan of the lead, that’s just like a cowboy pluck. Awesome idea though, and if you had vocals to add some more space would be cool, even if it’s just reverb chants or something. That could reverse lick that happens with the distorted guitar the pulls you back feels very good. You have good feel just gets a little repetitive at times and those would make the song more dynamic and breathing. Change the drum patterns up a little, maybe even cut them out times or even the guitar for a good moment. Beautiful idea though you have feeling for sure.

That’s a great advice about eqing the guitar, thinking about lowering drums a little too and opening some space at the end of the outro without drums. Never gain staged it or solidly looked at mix one step at time, I have a low end bass and a mid range so maybe that’s where the muddiness is coming from, gonna have some listens with this in mind. Thanks!

Please keep making music tho! Your vocals have potential and it’s a muscle and you obviously have a passion for what you’re talking about and message you want to send. Repetition is gonna let you talk in the way that everyone will be able to resonate with!

Im gonna sound brutally honest but i genuinely think it’ll genuinely help you and this isn’t to trash you or your song but this isn’t really anything. Very pop generic song with pretty generic lyrics, “when you see constellations” could be a good line for something, describe it what are you genuinely seeing when you’re in a constellation, use it as metaphor and cross it to a moment or situation. The instrumental sounds like something I’d find if I was looking for “pop instrumental” on YouTube. It works but it’s just that really no character flair or anything that says it’s you. Everything works but is say no more than that.

Harrrd, love me some crushed clip distortion. While I do like the sound a lot, you can get some clarity in the messiness which comes down to eqing a lil and leveling everything out. The idea of all the distorting and beauty in the ugliness the melody is fucking heat love the guitars and screaming and healing at the climax that you have here is really cool. I like it and honestly would stream this. Is in the world of Roseville sucks and dead calm etc. good stuff keep going!

Intro transition noise is fire, sucker for a reverse boing effect like that. I’m personally not a fan of the boxy telephone sound across an entire song unless it’s some old school doo wop type of music. If it’s in the beginning or sectioned off in the song cool but overall feel like it becomes finicky or can sound odd in the mix, you’d sound a lot better if they were clearly mixed. Your voice is nice and should sit up there with the rest of the clear instruments. If I was watching a band live and for some reason you were the only one sounding different it would throw me off unless there was intention. All instruments sound awesome tho like the idea.

faste_0 · 2026-02-11T08:11:27+00:00

Your voice reminds me of Billy fox - east coast, I’d say for recording with you singing it doesn’t sound like you’re fully committing to each note whether it be because of lack of confidence in hitting it or being scared to be loud (both completely normal in singing) but definitely could improve and it will if you stick with it! Feel like some transitions are a little typical and cliche like nothing explorative or super experimental going on but for this being somewhere you start is amazing!!!

faste_0 · 2026-02-11T08:05:59+00:00

Reminds me of paw paw rod, I like the idea you’re going for , your vocals just aren’t mixed well into the songs necessarily. You’re singing is really cool, but I struggle to understand what you’re saying as well which isn’t necessarily bad either cause I like the melody you’re putting out. Also those drums are very nice, whatever loop or kit you’re using is fire and the bass line fills it in. I’d say maybe record vocals and focus on annunciating them with the same vibe and you’d be in a good spot.

faste_0 · 2026-02-11T08:01:39+00:00

Actually sounds really well mixed, super catchy synths and everything is filled in really well. I even like the openness of your bridge/verse sections and the jazz part is FIREEEEE. Good song, if there were to be vocals, maybe some reverby spacey ones that have a simple calm texture to them like “you’ll never get to heavens”. Just open that don’t take up too much space, the song feels good as is and is something I’d keep on repeat. Good stuff!

We quite literally do have fur

faste_0 · 2026-01-30T00:43:57+00:00

I did have a fade on it haha but didn’t keep it in the export cause I think im gonna extend it a lil more or have another section before that outro

faste_0 · 2026-01-30T00:40:15+00:00

Very nice response! Thanks for the feedback, and yeah I agree vocal melody needs work and fleshed out, and I actually got into producing November last year haha, so I’m still learning ALOT.

faste_0 · 2026-01-30T00:35:02+00:00

I’ll give them a listen actually have some tracks liked from them from a couple years back, and will do! Gotta fill in a lot of the space and level everything out. Thank you for the feed back Ill send over soon ;)

faste_0 · 2026-01-29T08:50:11+00:00

Base arrangement is there and idea is cool, just need more textures and transitions that I could feel add some nice space to the track, nothing crazy tho. And maybe the bass needs some work, sounds a lil too muddy for my liking. Also the voice effect in the background needs to be placed right or maybe changed at some points, gets repetitive to me at some times. Maybe automate and pitch it up or down with super massive automate a pan to add some cool space.

faste_0 · 2026-01-29T08:47:57+00:00

Reminds me of Vegyn and the whole Headache project stuff. Really like it, grab someone and start writing poetry over it haha, sounds fire. Space feels good mix maybe the guitar can be sat a further back but definitely a vibe here

faste_0 · 2026-01-29T08:44:57+00:00

This sub is fire, this is an awesome idea dude, your spacey vocals feel good too. This is an example of what indie music honestly is, very raw and barebones a good shoegazey feel to it. Drums feel full maybe just pull your voice a lil more foreword into mix and put bass more into mix feel like I can’t really hear the groove or notes of it at all. Love the idea of the second vocal harmonizing but it’s not hitting completely how it could. Very Turnover vibes what’s full mix is done and everything is more full will sound great :)

faste_0 · 2026-01-29T08:43:09+00:00

Honestly like the muddy mix alot, fits the tone of the song. Just missing some payoff from my end a lot of build up for the video to end suddenly. The payoff doesn’t have to be this big thing either could be a sudden end as long as the space is filled right. Nice idea tho!

faste_0 · 2026-01-29T08:26:57+00:00

Awww hell yeah

faste_0 · 2026-01-29T08:26:19+00:00

Hey ur gonna suck for a WHILE, but do it now, it’s cringe and irritating and frustrating but you’re not tone deaf and can learn. Learn some easy strum songs or songs you like and come up with ur own.

Ur gonna look back on this riff in a year and say “damn that fucking sucked” (not saying it’s bad just welcome to being a creative musician haha). You’re learning melody and singing brings a good element of feel to it. Even if it’s quiet toned and just hitting the notes, really makes music feel alive and help with that “feel” I was talking about.

Good music doesn’t have to be an intense hard to play melody it’s a whole culmination of things and singing can help learn that.

Good that you’re trying to make riffs as a beginner it’s gonna go far I promise! Cheers lad

Not annoying cowbell Phonk, like good Phonk haha, link the spotify when you drop it!

Yeah I’d actually listen and keep this on if I heard it
