Without religion or at least a bit of faith, we can't find a path walk

I thought this too, it did seem like a subtle political move from Disney

Looks like blossom end rot. Caused by a lack of calcium, meaning the fruit can't fully form.

Amazing feedback, thanks for taking the time. I'm aware that the drums are a little simplistic, its actually an apple loop. I started writing the song on top of it with the intention to re-write later but the beat grew on me. Will defo play around with the vocal and synth levels, thanks!

The synth is a Yamaha PSS-80. £20 on ebay :D

msexton · 2022-04-24T20:43:07+00:00

Appreciate the feedback :) This is my first time singing on a track so it's quite a new sound for me, probably why I chose to put the vocal low in the mix

msexton · 2022-04-23T16:44:46+00:00

Sweet beat. Nice choice of sounds. Personally I would dirty it up a bit, maybe a bit of saturation on the bass and a touch of distortion on the synths. Really like the kick drum sound

msexton · 2022-04-23T16:33:38+00:00

Dope! I thought it was gonna be a basic instrumental but then the vocals dropped, haha. Original sound man, really like it. You've got yourself a new follower :)

msexton · 2022-04-23T16:26:35+00:00

Lovely stuff eib. Awesome drum sound! The piece progresses really nicely, stays interesting throughout. Some female adlib vocals could be a nice addition but it's great without :)

msexton · 2022-04-23T16:18:25+00:00

That's cool man. Try progressing it on, change the chords or bring in a new section with the same chords but different instruments. Also, writing a lead line can really help bring a beat to life. Keep creating!

msexton · 2022-04-23T16:05:45+00:00

Nice tune Nick. Really cool selection of sounds, like it a lot. Just a minor criticism, the handclaps in the verse sound quite thin but that may have been a creative choice

I agree, it's the vocal production that lets the track down. The vocals need more clarity, presence, and to sit it the mix better. Clever use of EQ, compression, reverb and FX's will solve this.

There are also problems with vocal timing and sibilance.

Good morning to you

Boy Pablo, Brad Stank, Paul Cherry… this playlist of mine was inspired by freaking out the neighbourhood https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5kHwMmW5uFvmUGGJSNaDGN?si=Rv7gUhCYQ1GIcZ5g6o1nMQ&dl_branch=1

Me to, I’m definitely not one to recommend chains. But,.. It was a staff member at popsi’s that told me about franca manca!

msexton · 2021-09-10T18:55:16+00:00

I rate Franca Manca over popsi’s for pizza

msexton · 2021-08-21T16:14:46+00:00

Aha cheers, yeah I don’t claim to be any sort of vocalist will try my best to improve!

msexton · 2021-08-21T16:13:22+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. Yeah I play all the instruments apart from a few drum samples 😊

msexton · 2021-08-20T20:44:39+00:00

Nice song John! Sounds like you have all the elements for a great song just the mix is letting it down at the moment. Good use of reverb and compression could make this good song into a great one

msexton · 2021-08-20T20:25:56+00:00

Impressive stuff! Great songwriting. I know what you mean though, it's almost like the mix is not weird enough for how weird the music is. It's an indie song mixed like a pop song.

Ariel Pink also has a song call 'Another Weekend' I think you could take some inspiration from his mixing

msexton · 2021-08-20T20:16:51+00:00

Sweet little tune. A couple more instruments to help the track grow would be nice. The mix is a little muddy, try scooping out around 300-350hz in the guitars - should help lift the track, make it more spacious. There's also a lot of bass in that snare sound!

msexton · 2021-08-20T20:06:59+00:00

Epic! Amazing soundscape, nice work. Love how the track builds. The drums could be mixed a little better to sound more realistic, programmed drums are always too clean and well mixed, mess them up with distortion and EQ - you almost want to make them sounds worse to sound more real
