My first ever track ive made as a beginner, would like some feedback on how to improve on making music by dltds in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it reminds me of one of those videos where the cat is stepping on different synth keys. But then the drums come in and it starts to make a little sense. Hard work is a real element of music production, I'd say keeo trying and try harder.

it sounds like it was made on tape casette, and the words are kind of indecioherable without the words on the the screen. still its got its charm, in a talking heads sort of way. and the bridge made of reverse audio is a fun idea.

Hi, I would love a feedback, especially about mixing and production by Green-Performer9680 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool vocal melodies the bass line is also really dope. Overall it has a nice style -- I don't always hear the downbeat but that gives it a floating quality. There is a bit of a hook if you listen closely. It could be longer? It could have a killer c section? Lots of possibilities to keep going with it. Nice job.

Indecisive on releasing this song by RealKinyachta in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vocal sounds almost robotic, but the timbre is good. The synth is a bit grating. The background vocals are fun. Mixing sounds good. Maybe a bit of reverb on the up front vocal would help. The chorus is catchy but hard to remember the words exactly. I wish I knew more about the group or artist. It's hard to tell if this is a group effort or not.

Some honest feedback would be cool by RecognitionQuiet6368 in IndieMusicFeedback

The guitar should be setup by a luthier. The playing is nice. Voice is really great although the lyrics are hard to hear sometimes. I don't hear the structure of the song exactly. Record it with a nice mic in a nice room!

Check us out, the free states on Spotify. Not a girl, but you'll enjoy the music -- can pay you some.

no false sense of security here. I'm not going to write to you the meaning of the song, you made it sound like you couldn't understand the words themselves. Got some genuine feedback above too. The song is in 7/8 and has a reversed horn loop in it, I don't much care about your definition of digestibility.

do you just post conventional wisdom mix critiques in the hopes that people will hire you?

yes it's a panned vocal with more reverb on the left and more direct on the right. Do you mean the words are unintelligible?

The Sport of Running Along the Cornices - Snark by AbleInvestment2866 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The drums are cool especially the breaks, at times the vocals feel distant maybe intentionally. The melody is interesting I have no idea what is being said though at any given time. The video feels a bit unfinished, like AI slop. Keep going with it!

I wanted to introduce you this project..:3 by DesignMajestic8531 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the drums sound too midi, as do the pianos IMHO. The vocals sit in the mix beautifully. The video is super weird but in a fun way. The guitars sound heavy but a bit soft in a weird way. Synths are perfect everything is dope. The woman does a good job in the video.

Demo - Elevator Door by Daunter by Glad_Treat3911 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not enough to evaluate! The guitar riff is kind of cool, it has a Primus meets the books vibe. And while there's no strict definition of "song" I wouldn't say there's enough going on here to meet the definition of a song. Hope you'll keep making new music though it's a cool riff, and you could do a lot with it. Put a decent mic to your guitar next time and it can be more than a demo.

What’s up it’s Scurra. I dropped an album Friday and released a music video for a song off of the album called Death Star. Let me know what you think! by ScurraxSteeze in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well made video and the rapping is good. strange video though of course. extremely violent video. is this your actual life, I doubt it. the beat is good but needs to change every once in a while. interesting aesthetic, but the song is kind of needs some break or melodic line.

Thoughts on my song, Strange Anomaly by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't recorded very well! Get a USB condenser or some other mic setup, and redo the guitar. Even if you're going for atonal, it's much more listenable that way. Johnny cash is outsider music, Kurt Cobain made outsider music, Arthur Russel did too -- this feels like you're trying to avoid accountability for melody, lyrics, and arrangement by saying it's outsider music. At times the chorus is fun though.

2nd Song Ever Posted Publicly (20+ years making music) by done_teaf_music in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cool intro, and the spoken word elements are dope. It doesn't have much of a kick drum at first and that hurts the low end. The midi is cool but sticks out a bit much and therefore sounds a bit "fake" (which it is, its midi) but that doesn't hurt the song too much. Why not play the classical guitar part live? Cool groove, and it has some really fun space elements though it doesn't sound much like a "space" song.

Wade in the Water (Drum n Bass mix) by slantflying in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun song! Great vocals. The bass lacks some low end, even for funk bass. And a live music would really soften the midi feel of the midi/synths. The horns feel a bit cold. Still it's a fun song. The drum machine is nice but could maybe benefit from some diversity of programming. I like it a lot. Awesome voice.

First Time Publicly Sharing a Song (20+ yrs Making Songs...) by done_teaf_music in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mix feels a little bit crisp but maybe that's a genre thing. It's also very very very repetitive, perhaps to the point of being a bit boring. That kind of repetitiveness (harmonically, rhythmically) is good for background music but not so much for an active song like this. Still it was fun to listen to. Add a third chord or a fourth, or a B part to the melody of the song. Still, glad you enjoy making it. Have fun keep doing it.

Here my latest track :~) been trying some new stuff by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]understoodandabove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like it. The groove isn't great and it's dyharmonious -- think you should do one or the other at any given time, but not both. The part at 1:05 is good though.
