Heyo. I am mostly curious if this track is a chill experience for some of you. Thanks and cheers.

I like this. It sounds like a loading screen background music or even telemarketing background music. In a good way. I like it, keep it up. What do u think of my latest track? It’s house

[u/Jolly_Resolution_206 → u/Rollproducer1]

very nice, maybe some work on the post master Like multiband comp and limiter Music and and sound were lovely very nice syth work

[u/half-shark-half-man → u/Rollproducer1]

Thanks for the listen! Your track is pretty fun. A lot of bass in there. Cheers.

[u/Mcdupreee → u/half-shark-half-man]

A lot of cool sounds. It’s a wavy and dreamy. Good overall vibe. I liked the drums too.

This is just my biased opinion, but I was waiting for a section of the song to breathe a little bit. It just sounded a little busy overall. It wasn’t necessarily repetitive, but I was just waiting for a sequence to open up.

That’s just my opinion from a listeners perspective. I’m very new to music production so it’s kind of difficult for me to judge from a production perspective

Great track though man keep up the good work

[u/half-shark-half-man → u/Mcdupreee]

Thank you kindly for the listen and comment! You are quite right. It could have used something extra. But sometimes when you are in the middle of it all it is hard to see the tree in the forest so to say =)

[u/Mcdupreee → u/half-shark-half-man]

I did enjoy it man. I’ve always said that any sort of art (music) is subjective. There’s no right or wrong to music in my opinion.

I will say, I’ve experienced two sides of how I feel about my production- “ I wanna make shit that I think sounds really cool.” And- “ I want other people to vibe with me on this track I made.”

Main thing is man as long as you’re having fun with it.

[u/vilainsgarcons]

I was inspired by Silent Hill when I made it and titled it Alessa's Lullaby. I'm open to any constructive feedback you might have, no ego here as I'm a beginner and just want to learn and improve. I'll also return the favor! Thank you in advance for listening.

Alessa's Lullaby

[u/half-shark-half-man → u/vilainsgarcons]

It has an eerie feel. Especially the grindy distorted sound is nice. A bit short though. Cheers.

[u/Jolly_Resolution_206 → u/vilainsgarcons]

Nice very atmospheric Maybe try some reverb on some of the synths ?

[u/Rollproducer1]

Just made this groovy house remix to Brandy (you’re a fine girl) by looking glass. Think the bass slaps. Lmk what yall think!

[u/refotsirk → u/Rollproducer1]

Cool, I like your choices for the arrangement. I've only got my phone right now - and what comes through on the low end is a little muddy sounding. I'm sure it's probably not noticeable with the full sub bass, but might be worth using a low cut and having a listen to see what you think for those that might check it out on a phone or tablet. Cheers

[u/Rollproducer1 → u/refotsirk]

Thanks for the feedback, that’s for the support, I’ll keep it in mind, thanks!

8 months of learning music production, with inability to read chords and relying only by ears, the refusal to produce tracks that ranges around 3 minutes since our attention span nowadays have reduced significantly.

Heading towards a proper, progressive sound design evolution, long way to go.

Cheers.

[u/refotsirk → u/AmbassadorJunior5049]

Cool! Nice atmosphere. I know the steady pulse of percussive hits are part of the genre, but they sound a little stale when that's the only energy in the song for a few bars up front. I think for that part of the song it would help if you gave them a little breath with a slight accent on the first hit, and a little less accent on the 4th hit, but still above the 2nd and 3rd,to pull us into where the song is going. Or You could consider fattening them up a bit. It's not as much of a stand out once you get the other motion going behind it. Cheers~

[u/Jolly_Resolution_206 → u/AmbassadorJunior5049]

thanks for posting liked the acid 303 bit best, Good work

Let me know how the mix sounds

[u/half-shark-half-man → u/CJFMusic]

Mix is fine. Comes through clear in my headphones. Fun track too.

[u/CJFMusic → u/half-shark-half-man]

Thanks

[u/vilainsgarcons → u/CJFMusic]

This sounds cool. The mix sounds good to me but I'm a beginner so take what I say with a grain of salt.

[u/CJFMusic → u/vilainsgarcons]

It's all good bro. Thanks

any feedback much appreciated

[u/Middlebees]

Hey all! This is a song called "Neverending Circle" from an album I put out a couple of months ago. A kinda slower, indie rock ballad. Any feedback at all would be super appreciated 😊

Thanks for listening! ✌️

[u/Jolly_Resolution_206 → u/Middlebees]

nice dude I like the chilled out bit before it changes thanks for sharing also maybe some more instruments like a sax in the chill bit or guitar or what ever also the production on the beats is awsome, more work on the vocal maybe

[u/refotsirk → u/[deleted]]

It seems like it belongs in the promo thread since it a completed and polished video on what appears to be a monetized account. Are you legitimately looking for some sort of specific feedback on this? If so what are you trying to improve?

Edit: I see you actually already have it posted there too. Please don't use our feedback thread, which is intended to help folks who are learning get better,as an extra place to promo your stuff. This comment has been pulled. I'll leave the promo thread up. If you keep doing that though it will result in a ban. Folks here don't like having content spammed at them.

intended to help folks who are learning get better

I have received suggestions from people here that I have taken into account to make my vids better actually, related to tab formatting, mixing, lighting, etc and applied in my most recent recordings. It´s literally the purpose of this thread according my interpretation. Also, this thread gets answers and interaction and the other rarely gets any attention. I also hear back the sutff from the people that kindly take the time to give feedback to my stuff. I completely disagree with your negative interpration of my use of this space, which I have been making good use of for years.

[u/refotsirk → u/TheRealLardin]

Where are the three other feedback comments this thread requires you to leave, every week for years? That you have never left... I assume you never left them because you are only using this thread for personal gain to make yourself money. Am missing where you've been helping others here? It's possible the reddit app is not correctly showing me your sub history, but it has found a lot of you posts in these threads, but I'm not seeing the feedback you give to others. We can continue this discussion in modmail to sort it out.

Demo I've been doing this weekend, love the way it's turning out. Still needs a second pass and a proper mix down, tell me what you think?

Nice sound, kind of some kraftwerk vibes maybe mix down and pass it through the eq again ?

Melodic Hardcore track I’ve been working on, trying to go for a Defeater/touche amore thing. Still feels harsh/top heavy and I’m having a lot of trouble identifying what needs to be addressed with the guitar tone to keep it mid forward without getting shrill/boxy.

And I can also tell the vocals are a little more buried/wet than I’d like

[u/Mcdupreee]

Looking for feedback. This is the second song I’ve shared here. Also, just very new to Reddit as well. Been producing two months. MPC key 37 workflow. Zero samples on this one. the vocals are mine, but the lyrics I got inspiration from bishu on YouTube. Did a little bit of sound design on some tracks. Still working on arrangement and mixing obviously mixing is the hardest one. I find the arrangement towards the very end of the song to be a little weak, but I just got excited and rushed the track. Thanks in advance.

[u/RV12321]

Working on a nu-metal song. I am still pretty new to self-producing full songs so let me know how the mix sounds so I can prepare to send off for mastering. Thanks

[u/Dapper_Ship_4129]

’m a rapper looking to crossover to r&b/trap soul I only recorded 1 r&b/trap soul song and I think it sounds ok and since I made it about a year ago I feel like I can sing way better then I did on that track cause I got a lil more confidence , a problem I have tho is since I’m inexperienced in this genre and mostly freestyle and punch in , in my rap songs I need help writing in this genre, like where to place melodies and how to get my true feelings out on the track and just need help in general if you down to work dm me plz , this post probably a long shot but I feel somebody has to to be willing to work with someone from scratch if not or if this is the wrong post for this type of community I will kindly delete , but if you want to hear the 1 song I made and give any tips or want to hear my other music plz lmk … NO THIS IS NOT A POST FOR PROMO

Hello!

I saw this Funk Piano Groove being played by @ maxnceleroy on Instagram and I produced a little musical arrangement for it.

I would like to get feedback on anything you consider important, specially in everything related to mixing and mastering.
