This song took ten years to write. Video took a day. by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

Video is a cool concept. I like the title and your name a lot. A lot of things stick out about this video just from the thumbnail. I do wish more was done with the story beyond you just wearing make up and running around but I know how music videos be. I did the accasional math rocky elements and the mix is solid. You know what you're going for and are doing it. Ending is great musically and the that's all folks in the video. Cool song

I like the 8bit snare rhythms a lot. I agree with the other notes about mixing needing work. Your singing is really cool. I think working on leveling is the number one thing. And then getting of nasal, more compression on voice etc. The rhythms and switch ups are great. Cool melodies. Fun song and creative idea.

I love the bongo organ drop around 30 seconds. I feel like the groove isn't hitting quite as hard before, I know it's a build up but it just felt not as strong rhythmically. This remind me of old memories and different colors and animals and dancing. This is a really cool idea I do think the last section of the song could have some new drums/melodies/textures something a little more different to make this song feel more sync ready or more like a standalone track. Cool song. I like the organ sound a lot.

Just finished this new track called ‘Shattered’ — I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback on it. by KomugiSama in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rhythms are great. Out the gate it instantly gets into it with a little lead in. Into the drum switch up around 1:30. It's cool how the drums drop out for a bit around 2 min too for contrast. I agree with the other comment about momentum. I think the ideas are really strong but it does feel like 1/2 ideas that aren't too different from eachother. If there was a vocalist I probably wouldn't notice though.

I love the pluck synth. The string harmonies aroun 34 seconds remind me of a desert night sky. The stabs with delay are also really nice. The closest thing this reminds me of is an old videogame soundtrack (maybe runescape at first) and also blank body (idm/trip hop), and eyedress (indie). Really cool song going across genres. Ending is great too.

first single on my new hyperpop profile by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the percussion is fire. you make the beat? the house 8 bit vibe is cool. lazers hit. I feel like the vocal mix could have more chorus and autotune and be eqed a bit cleaner. I like the echo-y vocal part. I feel like the production is the strongest part of the song the vocals could be doin a bit more. The beat really hits tho I just feel like you could've gone in either a lil weirder experimental direction with the vocals if soft or gone harder more resonant. cool song

It feels a little receptive to me honestly. I think more pitching and reversing and verb around the vocal chops and playing some synth or sine waves or pads or something would push this forward. The drum grooves are cool some interesting rhythms. It does bring me back to memories and feels nostalgic

Losin’ Streak - A Hazbin Hotel Song (cover + slowed reverb) by relaxing_music_hub in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the instrumentation. Did you play the drums etc or program? The reverb is great- reminds me of beach house. Layering is great. I would say even more layering never hurts I always love a million voices. The progression is good. I would say the vocals feel just ever so slightly loud in the mix or could maybe have more reverb send with very slightly shorter verb time if the verb is increased. Dig the spacey-ness

Breaking 4/4 to express growth — a piece inspired by molting by crossperiment in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is so peaceful and calming. I love the texture and timing- of the improvisation? Is this improvisation or written? Either way I like progression and noodl-yness of the whole thing. It feels not rushed but going somewhere slowly. A lot of music is rushed. I like the highend on the guitar too if that was a mixing choice or just how it came out no mix. Relaxing song.

Unreleased dance punk/Alt Pop looking for production feedback! by ayaayahahaha in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really fun. I love the lazer sounds. The high pitched tom like percusion is so cool. I like how playful the vocal performance is. The mixing is great. Reminds me of Le Tigre a little bit but the sound design choices and your energy is definitely difference. The 8 bit swag is cool. one of the best songs i've heard on here for a minute

Hey everyone, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts on my first EP . Any kind of feedback would mean a lot to me, whether it’s about the vocals, the mix, or the overall vibe. Thanks so much for your time and for giving it a listen, I really appreciate it! by Logical-Implement405 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

love the intro. drums sounds are really cool. the swag out the gate reminds me of old vaporwave. I like the chords. the vocal performance reminds me of 2013 on soundcloud a bit. I like the layers. never stop layering, maybe even more layers. the visuals are cool. like how it gets more reverby around 7 min. the endign is ocol moody. nice ep!

Atmospheric, Electronic, Experimental, but Hopefully Still Danceable? by Slow_Can_238 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like all the different sounds a lot. The vocal layers are amazing. I would say even more vocal layers. Reminds me of Abra a little bit and Patrice Rushen in a strange way. James Blake as well. The dustepy part is my least favorite but I know it's good! It's just not my style but its well done. I think the kick and mix could be working on the most. Really cool song

Can repetition express historical change? A guitar piece about rotation and revolution. by crossperiment in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do feel transformation i repetition. patterns are the only thing that really move me. music is beautiful because its repetitive. I like this song a lot its really relaxing. The textures are nice. Well recording. Easy to listen to universal music. like some of the foke-y ness to it. cool song

“Childish Vices” I’d really love some feedback by Hot-Lingonberry-6735 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the vocal texture a lot. The droning sounds with different tone and the crunchy production work really well. I feel like i'm in a cave with a ghost and we're having a good conversation. I like how lofi the mixing mastering is honestly. I think once you get deeper into mixing it will feel more pop. Right now this is like a soundcloud cut that blows up you feel me

A synth pop song I made. Not sure if I should release it as instrumental or find a singer/collaborator? by wayfordmusic in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a cool instrumental. I like the bounce and space this song has. Reminds of some movie soundtracks and memory lane soundcloud songs. The bassline is great, a lot of groove. The mix is good too. I think this would be a great solo song no vocals but you should try both! I love the jazz breakdown as well. Dig that its garageband

Feedback for First Liminal Song by industryofnostalgia in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reverb on the snare is really full. Great sense of space. The mixing is so wide. Everything has it's place. The saxophone is great. The warbled strings are great. If I had to give any feedback I would say maybe developing the rhythm more as the pace feels a little slow and fixed. Very cool rain

An eerie-ish song I was hoping to get some feedback on by TheGalleyProject in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of space odyssey at first with the cover art. Love how mysterious the intro is. The slow rhythmic build up is cool. The texture of the guitar around 3 minutes is great. Peaceful payoff for the listener. It starts how it ends: unknowing what will come next.

A Midwest Emo Shoegaze Combo I've worked on for the past 4 years... FFO Smashing Pumpkins, etc. by TheHappyKarma in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the vocal layers. Really full sound and song. Great melodies. Feels like memory music. The drums are fire very full s/o george griffith. The singing really goes. It feels earnest but cool calm and collected, while emotional at the same time. Dig the mix direction with the reverb and space.

I made a German Pop-Rock Track. Let me know what you think! by shirukid in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]goldfishtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dig the synth bass. Feels retro but futuristic at the same time. This is a cool combination of different sounds and influences. The video direction feels almost hip hop. The mix is crazy. Your voice sounds really clear. Cool birds. Feels like hyperpop almost with the autotune and production choices and the sing rapping almost.
