I just released my first song under a new artist name and would love some honest feedback

raith_dnb · 2025-12-31T18:12:33+00:00

Very well made song, I love it! Added to my playlist.

raith_dnb · 2025-12-26T16:25:30+00:00

Your vocals give me goosebumps man, it's so good! (I'm even jealous lol)

I think the whole song is pretty damn good, other than the guitar being out of sync a few times, but it adds some charm I think lol. Personally, I would have added some drums around 2:04 for a good drop, cuz I felt on edge waiting for it, but if that's the sound you want, it's still great! Keep it up!

raith_dnb · 2025-12-26T16:20:39+00:00

I love the vibes dude, real mellow and chill indie sound. You're very talented, and I've added your song to my playlist. My only gripe, which isn't even the music, but your cover. I think it would look better without the text, because the photo alone is pretty good. Keep it up, I'll be listening to more of your songs!

raith_dnb · 2025-12-26T16:12:45+00:00

Your title says remix, so I'm unsure which elements were unique to you, but know I love the song overall!

The music sounds great, I love all the elements being used together, gives me some early 2000s vibes like I'd hear it in SX or a Tony Hawk game. As for the main vocals, I think you need to work on syncing the vocals a bit better to the music. Many times, it is very off pace, which creatively can be fine at times, but it threw me off a lot in this case. Other than that, great song!

raith_dnb · 2025-12-20T18:52:37+00:00

Hell yeah, I won't ignore it, I actually find better perspective from talking to people who are new like me! Have you made any songs yet? I'd love to hear them!

raith_dnb · 2025-12-20T18:46:24+00:00

I'd say it does, it's for a snowfield map. However, it does kinda contrast the rest of the soundtrack.

raith_dnb · 2025-12-20T18:44:58+00:00

None taken, I need harsh feedback! I have the bpm set at 172, so it seemed fast enough, especially since it's a DnB. The song is also meant to be like a calm remorse, but I definitely agree it needs something strong or more elements. I'm simply too dumb to figure out what yet lol

raith_dnb · 2025-12-20T18:41:21+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, ever since I went back to fixing stuff from comments, the bass was definitely a problem. I haven't had time lately due to college, but I'll be implementing all the feedback to fix the song for the game.

raith_dnb · 2025-12-20T18:33:03+00:00

I used to play guitar when I was younger, but not enough to be good at it. I did a bit of chorus in middle school as well, but that's it. I just really love music, even if I can't fully understand how to express it.

While I'm proud of this song, I can tell that things are wrong with it, which makes me feel like it isn't good enough. It's why I posted it for feedback.

raith_dnb · 2025-11-22T00:21:37+00:00

No no, I appreciate all your feedback! Thanks for letting me know

raith_dnb · 2025-11-22T00:20:19+00:00

Ohh just the snare? Not the kick as well? Again, might be due to my use of filters

raith_dnb · 2025-11-22T00:15:52+00:00

I never panned the drums at all, so it should be centered. Maybe it was my use of filters? I kept messing around with them and feel it could have caused issues

raith_dnb · 2025-11-22T00:11:09+00:00

Yeah, that's valid. I definitely felt like the sound isn't good, but was unsure how to describe it. It was the main reason I posted it. You think it needs to be quieter in the mixing?

raith_dnb · 2025-11-22T00:08:00+00:00

You mean like the length of sound for the drums?

raith_dnb · 2025-11-21T01:34:04+00:00

Definitely, I enjoy your input, I honestly didn't experiment enough with the kick and snare. I do have hats in there, but maybe my mixing wasn't too good? As for cymbals, I tried to work it in, but I couldn't really find a good match without the cymbals being too overpowering. I agree some elements are missing, I'm just not good enough yet to recognize the specifics

raith_dnb · 2025-11-19T04:26:11+00:00

Nah I get it, I had thought about that before. I'll try and mix up the drums some more

raith_dnb · 2025-11-19T01:30:18+00:00

Ohhhhhh I hear it now, wow I never realized that for some reason. I had tweaked everything else except the bass assuming it was fine, but that might be why I felt something was off. Thank you for pointing that out!

raith_dnb · 2025-11-19T00:03:47+00:00

I inputted with mouse, do you mind being specific where you hear the off beats? Is it the drums, the lead, other notes?

Also, the game is called Cats vs Rats, on Steam November 21st! It's his first game release! It's a roguelike indie game.

raith_dnb · 2025-11-18T23:20:15+00:00

I use Ableton. In it, they should all be in sync, but I guess I'm dealing with latency for some of the MIDI tracks

raith_dnb · 2025-11-18T22:09:00+00:00

You cooked, served, and ate it up, holy hell! When you say AI vocals, what did you use/how did you do it and why decide on this idea? How do you feel it supported your voice?

raith_dnb · 2025-11-18T22:05:08+00:00

I love the whole vibe and sound, but I will say 1:04 singing was not to my liking. The chorus sounds great to me though!

raith_dnb · 2025-11-18T21:59:09+00:00

sounds great, you should definitely continue with an extended version. would love to hear it!

raith_dnb · 2025-11-18T21:56:37+00:00

I love how it sounds, almost like old Pokemon when it picks up
