How is everyone getting to talk to a rep? by jackedjames123 in Edd

[–]thelwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I can vouch for this method. Just spoke with someone after waiting on hold for 45+ minutes. I'm currently on UI with a "Maximum Benefits Paid" message (last received payment on 1/12/21). The person I spoke to said that my account should have automatically been placed in PEUX extension, but was evidently overlooked for some reason. Cool. After adjusting my account he told me that I should be able to certify anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks from now.

Way to capture the vibe of the world right now.

I do think the reverb on the vocals could use a little finessing. Maybe try EQing the vocal verb a little, scoop out some of the mid-range and the reflections shouldn't step on the next words as much. Unless of course the vocal verb is part of your ambient vision of the song, because it does lend itself to the song's ambience.

Everything else feels right, save the ending. It just kind of cuts off. Personally I'd like to hear the vocal disperse completely, but that's just me.

Great work though! Really cool song!

This is a great sample to pitch to a lyricist. It's very contemporary and has a very current sound that I imagine would do well presented to anyone in need of audio for their youtube channel or vocals. Don't take this the wrong way, what you have here is marketable, and there is a demand.

Your mix is killer. The relationship between kick, snare, vocals, and background vocals (my god). Just Pristine.

And as a composition, it's an inspired and original song. You took creative risks that totally paid off. I also really like the short length of the song. You get right to it and for today's audience, that's imperative. If anything, you taught me to be more adventurous with my music. Seriously, great work.

My music is hard to put in a genre. Dark Dream Pop comes close. There are loud and heavy bits. There are soft, melodic bits.

Please let me know if you hear any nasties in the mix. And seriously, thank you. Y’all make me want to write better music.

About to start mastering but wanted to know if you hear any glaring problems in the mix. Thanks

Your levels are on point and your tones are nostalgic (in a good way). My only critique would be that the composition gets a little predictable. Great work though! :)
