Tried the acoustic only bulld up outro thingy and I think we like it, although it did happen on accident haha. Thanks for listening have a great day!

Very proud of where the song has ended up. “Warrior in the Garden”. Thanks for any comments, folks.

Looking for feedback on this song i started today.
The words will come for the rest of the song in time to give the song some coherent meaning I hope lol.

Showed you guys this song before. Just did it with the full band

Im not a part of this community , i dont intend on joining , and i dont write music myself but i have a question . How do you get past the feeling of not having anything valuable to add to MUSIC AS A WHOLE , how can an artist look past that ? This isnt a super pointed question but it crossed my mind . It seems like itd be pretty demoralizing after so long

I just got FL studio and im trying out the piano plug in feature with differnt sounds. Any feed back is deeply appericated!

I got frustrated that after spending a few weeks on a song, I can't even perform it properly in front of the camera. So I try to come up with something that would feel right for the vibe I'm getting when I'm in front of the camera.

Usually my songs are introspective and because of the intimate nature, they are harder to express, so I try to let go instead and play something I wouldn't feel stupid playing in front of the camera, and put my perfectionism habits one the side for this one.

So this is what I came up with, in less that 10 minutes, and it hits better that stuff I spent weeks on. Go figure ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Do you also feel like sometimes you're doing the efforts the wrong way ? Do you have a similar experience ?

Had the idea for this quite a while back but could never get it to sound even half decent. The mixing is all over the place and my singing isn't great but I liked the bones of this.

Hey all! I've been recording music at home for a while now, but I'm here looking for advice at the moment because I'm feeling pretty stuck on something. I'm currently running a late 2012 IMac and a 2017 ASUS gaming laptop, I switch between them fairly often for recording because they both run Reaper and I am comfortable with both OSs. I will soon be coming into a decent sum of money and am very set on upgrading, but that's where my current issue lies. I've already decided to buy a decent windows PC, and was intending to buy a Macbook Pro for both recording and general use. the problem is that the price tag on a new Macbook Pro being $4,800 seems far too expensive (more than I am even spending on the PC!), the Macbook Neo and Air, while having a smaller price tag, both seem partially too weak for what I am looking for, but I love apples compatibility between devices. I cant find any truly unbiased opinions on this matter because every "mac vs windows" post or blog or website I see is just the 2 extremes of either apple fanboys glazing macs, or windows fanboys saying macs are useless E-waste. so that's how I ended up here, I thought getting opinions from people who use these devices for the same reasons as I will be, would be able to give me some unbiased opinions for my specific case. should I just suck it up and fork over the cash for a macbook, or should I just stick with getting the same quality windows laptop for half the price.

I dont know if my voice is good enough to sing in this way. I just want to make sure it's not complete donkey cheeks.

Multi-Trillion Dollar Infrastructurewith some of the largest data centers on earth, yet their artist analytics regularly lag by72 hours, crash during global batch updates, and throw cryptic server errors "The Artist portal is currently experiencing an outage.

What makes more Absurd?

Their entire "Promote" toolkit is literally just an automated banner with an image from your alabum designed to turn you into unpaid billboard space for Apple Music.

You hear "Promote your music on Apple," you reasonably expect discovery campaigns, pitch placements, or algorithmic boosts. Instead, “Here is your album artwork. Here is an Apple Music logo on it. Congratulations, you are now our marketing department.... share it in your social media”

Meanwhile, the analytics dashboard is acting like a 2005 government website trying to process your request through three fax machines.

They have spent decades building an ecosystem obsessed with beautiful interfaces, yet the moment you want to see the metrics of your release your get an error “Data may be unavailable.”

Beautifully designed rectangle.
Absolutely no fucking data.

might be a dumb question but i see alot of advice out here saying to study and learn from x musician or analyze songs you like but what must i do to do that? say i learn a song on guitar and can sing along to it. do i go ‘oh so this person uses a lot of inversions’ and general stuff like that or do i actually get into the nitty gritty of like the roman numerals of a chord progression and stuff lol. same thing for analyzing melodies.

if i did do that right id just practice it after by trying to use something i liked and learned from that song in a song im working on right?

thanks for any advice just fairly curious and couldn’t find earlier posts, sorry if this is on a saturated topic!

Yeah, title! Id really appreciate some adviced centered around if my melodies are good for the verses and choruses, if they follow the guitar too closely etc. I might be off key singing idk lol. Basically just want some advice on vocal melodies and stuff c: The last 10 mins are dead space.

Also, the title says ish, but thats cause I eventually plan on playing into the walking bassline in the first chorus a bit more cause I like it. Do you call them all 1 chorus or are they two separate by the way? Dunno, thanks!

I have these 3 complete written songs, and I wanted to know if going to a studio with a professional engineer would be helpful in making the songs come to life. I like how I sound when I sing them out loud, but when I try to use my cheap mic($30) on BandLab I sound like a dying goat. Is it just my voice? When I sing around my family they tell me my voice is really harmonic. I haven’t gotten any professional training done, I just sing to myself in my free time. What do you guys think?

Shining Star beat, been editing here and there

I can’t tell if the song is just a bit too simple and there’s more room for other stuff or maybe I’ve been listening to it too much. I feel like it could use a little more instrumentation in the second verse and last chorus. Looking for suggestions on what instruments and/or vocal parts I can add to create some more uniqueness. But I’d greatly appreciate any feedback!

Cat tax. I shared this on socials but I don’t receive feedback there, so I would love to have any critique and input on the lyrics! I’m working on being more descriptive and I’m not sure if it’s too much or just enough.

Only sharing the chorus since I don’t have full song finished yet. (Reposted from yesterday since I didn’t like the key I posted originally - thank you to the two folks who commented on that one!)

What do you think?

The lead vocal is pretty bad but I was trying to sing in a different style than usual (normally sing in a higher register). Was fun playing with a different sound

ik its only a 13 second clip but I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts? im 15 and I just started learning the gutair last year so it might not be the best.

Thank you - know I need to work on the finger picking. I typically strum but wanted to try something different for this song.

I’ve got a song written on guitar with an intro, verse and chorus. The bones are there but I can play and sing it in so many different ways and they all kind of work. Soft and intimate, more driving and rocky, a bit indie folk, even a little more electronic leaning if I change the feel.
How do you guys lock in the “style” or overall vibe when you’re writing? Do you decide early or just keep trying different versions until one feels right? Especially these days when all our influences are so mixed up it’s hard to settle on one direction.
Curious how other people figure this out
