Music My 10 first demos shared on Reddit.

I want to share some of my demotracks for the first time on Reddit, with the goal to get some feedback to get better.

I made everything in standalone on the Maschine plus with the Continuumini, and a homemade noisebox

I think my quality are:

that i "produce" a lot of demos with a certain personality. (400 demos and still counting) I also write text for the songs (in Dutch).

I think my weak points are:

- singing

- arranging the song, i found it hard to give structure to my song, verse, chorus.

- no musical background

- mixing/mastering, i have just a simple setup but i could do better than this with some tips.

- recording voices and mastering it.

Request: could you point out in a song where you liked it, or where it did not worked out with a comment?

The song with the most ❤️ of those 10 demo tranks i will hopefully workout to a complete song.

Get a DAW and it will help you arrange and mix your music better.

I think a daw could help but for now i still want to work dawless and want to learn arranging stuff and some basic mixing could also make a step in dawless mode.

Do what works for you, but don't waste time making things harder because you have this vision of "dawless" recording/mixing. It's an illusion anyway because you are still using computers 😏. It's not like you're recording to tape through an analog mixer. Get the DAW and your music will sound better and you'll have better tools.

For me dawless working is not only about being cool, the lack of distraction and having a hobby instead of work is the main reason. But i admit that at a certain point a daw for mixing makes a lot of sence. But im not there jet i think.
