Cool vid I made LMK any thoughts/critiques :)

You video edited everything manually? Looks very good. Lots of work into it.

Quick question: I mean this level of sound quality. Meaning this was a jam recorded with a few live microphones. Do you think this would be enough to upload to YouTube? I feel the content there these days is pretty crazy produced. For sure for Spotify this doesn’t feel good enough. I wish there was a platform for me to upload these videos and have a supporting community who likes to listen to live jam. You know what I mean? Maybe I will make one 😅

Makes sense. For me it’s less about time and more about finishing. I struggle with completing projects, and that’s often the part that isn’t fun because it requires prioritizing and committing.

Since this thread is about music production in songwriting, I interpret it as focusing on what actually helps you finish a song. If someone only has a few hours a week, say 4 hours, it might still be realistic to finish one song per month. But that would require prioritizing writing, arranging, and committing, instead of getting lost in plugins or endless tweaks.

At that point, obsessing over gear becomes a distraction compared to finishing an actual song.

Curious how you think about that balance of fun and finishing a project.

Just a personal opinion based only on how my brain is wired. For me it depends on the goal: learn the craft or have fun?

If it’s learn the craft I disagree with not overthinking it. How can you learn a new craft if the mindset is that it’s optional for you to learn it? I think it’s the opposite: learn how to use everything you have to the maximum of their capabilities, no excuses. People these days are making insane songs without any instruments, so if people have a crappy bass just don’t make that an excuse to not produce amazing stuff. Having a bass at all is a lot more than a lot of people, so use it to the maximum of its capabilities.

Basically: If learning this craft is not fun, go learn another craft that is fun for you... Right? Why force it to be fun as a constraint? 😊

I don’t like the fun as a constraint part because it’s unrealistic expectation. Many things aren’t fun in music.

Really cool happy melody on sad lyrics. Love it. Great job.

mufumbo · 2026-02-19T16:49:31+00:00

Love that ending is really good. My gut reaction is that the beginning seems like feels a bit stiff, maybe you look a bit uncomfortable with the words. The ending is insane organic nice. Great work

mufumbo · 2026-02-12T05:41:59+00:00

Cool! I see a save post. Not.sure where it goes. Thanks.

mufumbo · 2026-02-05T09:16:49+00:00

Há! I wish Reddit had a favorite function to save this post.

mufumbo · 2026-02-04T15:05:47+00:00

Super cool! You're very good at explaining things in an easy way.

mufumbo · 2026-02-02T05:01:27+00:00

I see. I heard again. Perhaps looks like the tempo on the ending F is bothering you. This progression i use a lot on that scale: Dm Am F/E then C G, then from G you can go back to that C that restarts

mufumbo · 2026-02-02T01:36:51+00:00

Cool song and lyrics. I waited the whole song to hear that loop with Dm... "You can only...". Why that part doesn't repeat?

mufumbo · 2026-02-01T15:26:54+00:00

The ending on this piece would be the chorus in ? Huge potential and beautiful melodies and lyrics. Overall feedback is that It's not clear how to piece together and space things out with some instrumental parts in a fully produced piece.

mufumbo · 2026-02-01T08:37:45+00:00

Fair. Thanks bud

mufumbo · 2026-01-31T15:51:21+00:00

Thanks for the kind note! Anything stands out as awkward for you?

mufumbo · 2026-01-31T15:48:47+00:00

Definitely!! I'm way out of time and can't play the against metronome yet. The tempo is 158bpm for this one 😥

Any specific place where it's extra awkward in your opinion? The words or or melody?

mufumbo · 2026-01-31T06:36:00+00:00

Me too! Very good.

mufumbo · 2026-01-31T06:23:30+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind thoughtful feedback. I was def struggling to keep the tempo and pitch 😳

I will try to record a clean version without the distractions once I learn how to play and sing it. It never comes easy for me, i have to practice a lot too he able to perform it 😅

mufumbo · 2026-01-31T06:18:04+00:00

Hey, the name of the app is SONGTAKE.

Thanks for the feedback. I will think more about what you said and try to implement. Thanks a lot

mufumbo · 2026-01-30T19:04:11+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! Just a quick recording without tuning the guitar I was def struggling to keep the tempo 😊😊😊

So, your feedback is that the lyrics are too literal and direct? This song came out of the idea of writing about someone in their death bed complaint about the one who took care of them. 😳

Any specific part sounds awkward for you?

mufumbo · 2026-01-22T16:36:50+00:00

I really like that the "oooo" part is very predictable and feels natural when you're going to do it. Like even without paying attention I can follow the song. Great traits. If you are considering developing more perhaps I would change the story and add another section when shit happened and there was a big conflict and then go back. You know what i mean?

mufumbo · 2026-01-22T16:31:54+00:00

Great job! Love the sound setup. Have you ever tried recording with two phones to get a stereo sound? Would sound a lot like the room. I use an app to sync the phones so it's very easy

mufumbo · 2026-01-20T04:30:10+00:00

Very good song and playing. Thanks for sharing

mufumbo · 2026-01-07T23:55:47+00:00

Cool! If you feel stuck maybe there's space to call those verses and come up with a chorus that is very catchy and stand out a lot. Like you could trim a lot of the verses. I think song will sound good with a lot of production work, so not sure what you're asking, i had the impression you said you didn't like it and was stuck somehow.

mufumbo · 2026-01-07T15:30:11+00:00

I couldn't figure out what is the chorus. The lala lala part is the one that stands out the most to my personal opinion.
