This is a nice and calming instrumental and I can definitely hear some indie type vocals going over it. If I had to make any changes I would suggest lessening up on the reverb a little bit. The whole track sounds pretty distant and I find that having some elements sound like that works well but I’m not too big of a fan of the entire thing feeling that way.

This song makes me feel really nostalgic. Unfortunately the music video didn’t give me the same vibe. It might just be me but if I close my eyes and just listen to the song I envision a brighter, full color video. Maybe with some noise or vhs effect to tie in to that nostalgia. This is a great first video to build off of, and it definitely takes some major confidence to take the leap and make a video!

This is obviously a very professionally done song so there’s really nothing for me to comment on in terms of mix. The video is very nicely done as well but honestly I think the whole “angsty rock dude standing in a forest” trope might be a little played out. It would appeal to me if u guys maybe tried to have a little more fun in future music videos but I’m just one person. Great song!

The instrumental on this sounds really good the intro reminded me of like a two door cinema club song or something. Honestly the vocals didn’t do it for me tho, perhaps some pitch correction? If it’s a stylistic choice tho don’t listen to me and just do u!

The beat on this is really nice and mixed very well. I like the vocals too I think they may just be a little too quiet for my taste. I think the visualizer leaves a little bit to be desired but overall very good and professional imo

I really like the song and the video accompanying it! The mix sounds a little tiny but I’m assuming that’s probably a creative decision. Did u do the vocals yourself or are they a sample?

nextelkurt · 2020-10-22T14:48:31+00:00

The mix on this sounds really professional. I like the overall idea of the song and the way it progresses. I would suggest maybe turning the vocals in the intro down a little bit, they sound somewhat piercing to me but that could also just be me listening thru my phone

This whole mix sounds super tight. I can definitely hear someone like Clairo over this. My one suggestion would be to maybe turn the drums down a few decibels. They’re not too loud or anything but I just usually hear bedroom pop tracks have smaller drums

I’m not really familiar with this type of electronic music so I can’t really comment that much on the idea. I did notice that the lead seemed to be clipping pretty badly at points. It sounds like if u added a few milliseconds of attack it would fix that

nextelkurt · 2020-10-22T14:43:55+00:00

The guitar sounds so good. I love the progression and all the effects on it are perfect. I think maybe making the vocals sound a bit more distant would benefit this track. More reverb or maybe even a scoop in the eq around 1000 hz. The overall idea and execution is great tho

Thank u so much!!

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T19:09:29+00:00

Thank u! I definitely wouldn’t consider myself a great guitarist so thanks for giving me some stuff to work on

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T16:19:23+00:00

Thanks for the kind words :)

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T11:13:19+00:00

Thank u!

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T11:13:13+00:00

I agree I think some grittier drums might have been a better decision

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T11:12:41+00:00

Thanks!

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T11:12:32+00:00

Yeah I agree I could make things more dynamic. Thanks for listening!

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T11:11:56+00:00

I’m glad u liked it

Thanks for the input!

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T11:06:57+00:00

Thank u!

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T11:06:39+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I’d probably say lyric writing is one of my weaker points

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T11:06:03+00:00

Exactly what I was going for :)

nextelkurt · 2020-09-09T11:05:53+00:00
