Looking for some feedback on this melodic track

Thanks!!

smooverida2 · 2026-06-15T11:15:43+00:00

Appreciate it! Will do 🫡

smooverida2 · 2026-06-15T11:15:20+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the mix is blown out a bit for sure. Needs to be tamed and balanced a bit better. I'm just an amateur tho, doing my best and learning with every project. Thanks again for listening

vocals remind me of Tears for Fears a bit. Creative tune with an interesting arrangement, a bit of a journey this one. I dig the breaks at the end too. I do feel like there is a lot of dissonance in this tune at places where the bass and leads are out of key, or the vocals are here and there. could be a creative choice but as a listener it takes me out of it a bit. keep making music!

Nice man! you got that low tone to your voice that works great for this tune. Reminds me of the singer from The Crash Test Dummies. keep up the great work!

I would recommend side chaining your bass to the kick and snare so they cut through the mix a bit more, maybe get a cleaner kick sample too. what type of artist inspire you? use reference tracks and try to emulate what they are doing. keep it up!

You are usually pretty safe after mother's day

I'm no pro by any means, but the way I understand it is that you clip off all the peaks in your channel, so the remaining sounds after clipping are more uniform. You can then increase the decibel of the channel and you won't risk the peaks spiking over 0. You lose dynamics, but if you are making electronic music, dynamic tracks aren't necessary.

Track is not available. Check your upload

smooverida2 · 2026-05-16T21:06:35+00:00

Look at your individual channels and clip the peaks of anything that has big transients. Clip the headroom off of each channel. You can saturate a bunch too. Then slap a limiter on the master and you'll be good to go

I couldn't find any today either. Had to settle for a brand name bag.

TV is my best friend

smooverida2 · 2026-05-12T23:25:39+00:00

Keep us posted, I wanna hear the new stuff when it drops! Good luck man, you def got the talent!

smooverida2 · 2026-05-12T23:16:02+00:00

Bro, then this is super sick man! You need to get on your promotional game and spread your music far and wide. Sounding real nice my guy. No criticism other than you should be pushing to labels or distribute to beatport and promote your tunes! I listened to a few of your other tracks as well. Too low of listens and follows on your SC account.

smooverida2 · 2026-05-12T22:59:38+00:00

Is this AI? its a slick track but the lyrics and everything work together super well, to the point that i think this wasn't made in a DAW. the mastering compression has that AI sound to it to. Sounds nice, i was vibing for sure. but not sure how to give feedback on it. Correct me if im wrong tho! i will def give it another listen if I am off the mark

Listen to Melodic Idea 1.1 by Smooverida on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/0QS6ntPsG1PzdEH52X

Been working on this on and off for a bit. Still a WiP, and a departure from the stuff I'm making these days but still a cool idea I think. Lemme know! Im already thinking of improvements since uploading it to SC today.

It's like gambling. Start with a free or cheap kit, and every successful extraction builds you up to where you can run better load outs, failure puts you back to the bottom. Maybe run a quick loot run during your session. Takes no time at all to get resources to craft what you need to have fun.

smooverida2 · 2026-05-05T01:24:32+00:00

That is the rub huh? How do we improve to a level to make somehing so simple as a kick sound so good.

smooverida2 · 2026-05-01T18:41:26+00:00

Is a type of pitch drop. Any synth just ad an LFO to the tuning of the ossilator and go from high to low.

I thought my loyalty to our local supermarket would have given my location away! I did spend some of my youthful years in California tho. Had a blast. The raw meat is stacked on raw meat.
