Sing a song, improvise, share WIP, covers, stuff you made.

This is a little song I've been working on and wanted to get some feedback.

>>128702556
That’s kinda rad dude, I dig it. If you asked directly what adjustments i would make? I would like it better if it was sped up by about 50-10 bpms. add some ripping bass and drums and you’ve got a nice little piece there. And finally, what vocals you choose to go with will give the definitive character to the song, so make that choice wisely. Again, if it were up to me, I would try and recruit an amateur female vocalist who’s got a raw, maybe raspy, definitet rugged mid rangey kinda voice. That’s my vision for it. Maybe end on a modulation?
Anyway, here’s a little song I wrote, just now. Just for posterity. Thoughts? Does it have potential maybe?

>>128702683
Thanks man! Yeah my rhythm’s a bit sloppy and inconsistent lol it sounds good at times but drags an at others. I’m a bit out of practice, but felt inspired lately and was really feeling this and wanted to get some opinions from some strangers.

I dig your song too! I like the lyrics and the chord progression a lot. Really the only advice I have is to keep practicing and recording yourself and it’s only natural that you’ll get better.
>>
>>128702683
I think there’s definitely potential in it though. More than anything I’d work on making your vocals cut through a bit more, if you know what I mean

the line itself is *really* cool. some of the more low-end parts like the intro sound a bit muddy, but obviously you want the distortion there - maybe double it with a another line that’s clean or up the octave? love the slow divebomb at the end too.

>>128705180
Thank you! Yeah if I were to make a real recording of this I’d make the intro/verse cleaner so it’d be less muddy. I like your stuff too. If I were to make any sort of suggestion it would be to have stronger hooks?

I'm nearing completion of my first EP. It's all stuff that's 3-4 years old at this point, some of the earliest stuff I ever wrote. They're kind of like naked baby pictures at this point, but it's better late than never.
https://voca.ro/1kRt6K1dijbi
This one is the oldest, around october 2021
https://voca.ro/1BVOvX4lJq5a
This one I like a lot, but I think maybe most of it drags in a way it doesn't when I play it acoustically. Any ideas for something subtle I can add to give it some movement? I want it to still have the feel of an acoustic song
>>128702556
>https://voca.ro/1dCioG38GJlt
I like this. Guitar tone sounds a little dull, but that also could be the mic placement or something. Cool.
>>128702683

>>128703667
This is the music that plays in the internet tubes. Cool stuff.

I put the whole mix thru outboard comp and it sounds warm
>>
https://vocaroo.com/15Qi0RlscOcw
fuckaround session from last week
mostly vocals and yamaha keyboard with a bit of guitar
some parts I like a lot and some parts are dogshit, but figure I'll post the whole thing
>>
>>128708185
Whole thing seems a little quiet, not much else to add
>>
Made this in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. I don't think it's working, will probably scrap it but a bump is a bump I guess. Stays on the one harmony so long any change sounds weird. Need to either have a harmonic rhythm established earlier or not have one at all.

>>128702556
It's fine, musically. Maybe a bit too much distortion. It does sound like it's waiting for the rest of a band though.

Thanks for the advice! I'm definitely going to add bass, vocals, and drums this weekend and I know what i want to do. I was just excited that i wrote a song for the first time in awhile and wanted to see what people thought of what I had so far.

>>128707479
You can say “faggot” on the internet, it’s okay.

>>128707848
Yeah, none of these are very hook-y songs tbf.

>>128708114
>1kRt6K1dijbi, “I’m the Asshole” or whatever
The underlying song idea here is really good. The love some of weird little chords in the mix.

If you wanted advice:
Nix the vocal harmonies. One tuneless voice works with the vibe you’re going for. Four of them makes it sound worse, not better.
Something about the rhythm guitar sound here doesn’t quite click: maybe the tone is too trebly/twangy.
The solo is very good obviously but it’s a bit too forward in the mix, given the lax sound of the rest of it. This sound paradoxical but I think I’d be more impactful if it was dialed back a little.

>1BVOvX4lJq5a
The good news is that that you’re right to like it, I think: the song is good. The guitar playing and the overall sound and evening the mixing in the final section absolutely kicks ass. The bad news is that you’re also absolutely right: as it stands, it absolutely drags. We have to sit through a pretty repetitive 4 and a half minute song before we get any of that dynamism at all. I see what you’re trying to do with the slower section bursting into the later thing, but the first part is just way too static and repetitive to get the payoff from the last part.

Despite how nicely written the instrumental parts in the main sections are, they don’t have much impact because a) they’re all the same energy and sound as the guitar parts on the verse, and b) we hear them quite a few times. If you really want to keep the structure, you might want to rethink how the guitar sounds are used, or in general make the sound contrast with the verses. (eg. you mentioned liking how it sounds with acoustic guitar - why not just… use acoustic guitar for some of it?)

Also, vocals might a bit too low energy here for me imo, because fuck there’s a really good song here and I want you to sell it to me.
>>
>>128711428
>>128711441
>ambient nu-age-y thing
no, a harmonic shift here works I think. just approach it as sections a, b, c, etc each playing with different chords, and think of them more like key changes than a progression.

>>128702683
> Does it have potential maybe?
dig the half-assed buzzy acoustic guitar strumming but unfortunately the song is atrociously written and couldn’t be so much as a minor underground hit no matter how many pedals you decide to slap over it
>>
>>128713765
>just approach it as sections a, b, c, etc each playing with different chords, and think of them more like key changes than a progression.
Yeah my initial plan was to basically drag out 1 more or less traditional harmonic progression over several minutes in sections of fluctuating rhythmic complexity. Which I think is exactly what you suggested.
Still trying to decide if it should also turn in to a drum and bass track.

ok so i’ve been writing this record for like 10 years

all the scratch tracks are done, we’re going in to do final drums next week, at which point we’ll start building final bass, final guitars etc

here’s some selected songs:
https://vocaroo.com/13yRbbevTMUX
https://vocaroo.com/15KsYucdq08L
https://vocaroo.com/15Fvtbsc2L1h
https://vocaroo.com/1nwm7rdykDzV
https://vocaroo.com/129G6Q8Ex4tF
https://vocaroo.com/1mYFHa1usxPs
https://vocaroo.com/1mnzBbhxcHST

so obviously like there’s this rustic thing going on for a lot of tracks… so like… idk, do you guys envision that as the ideal sound for this record?
like a kind of roomy, intimate, bright eyes ‘i’m wide awake it’s morning’-but-with-modern-mixing kinda thing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ETCo4sl_90

cos if so i can totally get an SM7B to do some intimate vocals, and record upright bass instead of electric bass for most songs, put a tea towel on the snare and toms, etc etc etc

unless you guys are thinking like, maybe it should sound a bit more like the most recent wednesday album? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAoz3ykn2t4
like idk, more poppy, less room, etc etc

i guess both of those things sound mostly the same once you mix both of them modern

i guess it’s more just a question of, idk do you see this as a rustic folky album with like mandolins and mostly acoustic guitar-driven, or do you see this as a folk-rock record like wednesday/wilco

idk.

any direction would be appreciated, obviously we’ve been writing this for a long time (music's changed a lot since we began) and now that the final drum sessions are finally booked in i’m getting a bit nervous
>>

oh I remember this! been a while anon I think it was back in 2020-2021 when I first heard it. Will reply later with more thoughts just wanted to say that I remember the tune.
>>
>>128722038
just got 20 seconds into the first track and holy shit you weren’t joking about going for a bright eyes sound. be prepared for very direct comparisons if you get reviewed, because your voice sounds identical. (not a bad thing, just very striking.)

also holy fuck it’s all just extremely good. honestly I’m not sure how much input you really need on this because these tracks are perfect for what they are. congrats with the last few sessions man. (I know this isn’t a shill thread, but do you’ve a name for your act, so I can know when the record comes out?)

Took until my 30s to get diagnosed with adhd, was kind of a surprise but looking at the like 10 ongoing music projects in completely different genres I've got like 20% finished each I guess it shouldn't have come as a surprise.
Anyway here's something from a thing that won't get finished, featuring a slightly too loud ocarina.
https://voca.ro/1kO7lnSju1P3
>>
>>128713653
Thanks for all the feedback. A lot of it is stuff that I already knew I had to do, but it can be good to hear it from someone else, as opposed to friends who say it sounds fine. For the second song, I think I might track acoustics for the whole thing and have the electric cleans come in after the first chorus. Then I'll slowly add small, subtle overdubs so that things are always changing, but not so much as to detract from the rockout at the end. I want to redo the last chorus at some point, I think it should be done louder and up an octave, but in general I thought my pass at the vocal was one of my better takes.

I tried to make an entire track in a single synth ages ago, think I give up. I just can't make this free emulation of a Roland Juno 6 produce good drum sounds. That's not even something I can manage on a modern synth. It's just been sitting on my hard drive for ages but I don't think its happening.
https://voca.ro/1lzYNljrJ9nQ
I'm not imagining it right? This would be listenable if I just swapped the drum sounds for literally any others.

you WILL write in some high hat articulation (whether it's foot closing or otherwise) in the intro section
you WILL compose whisper distorted deftone vocals for this
you WILL add dynamics by having a quiet or staccato section

****ALRIGHT EVERYONE HERE I NEED YOUR HELP****

drummer for these two fairly large artists enjoy our work and are happy to track drums for us instead of our current choice:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR9w_CfrH1c
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAoPryBArwc

my thoughts on drummer 1 vs drummer 2:

- drummer 1 is my literal hero, and it would bring me great joy to listen to this record when it's done and always go "wow, i'm just like w1lc0", or feel like m0dest m0use when j0hnny m4rr joined them.

my concern is the problem that this fella brought up >>128724048 which is that we sound a bit too much like 2000s bright eyes, and tracking with a 2000s drummer (with his touch and tone) would compound that problem and probably hinder the success of this record on streaming

- drummer 2 i am also a big fan of, and he's obviously played on many big hits with tea towels on his snare, so he knows how to get the tone without any guesswork.


SO GUYS, ARE WE HAPPY TO HIRE DRUMMER 2?
we'd probably end up sounding a bit bedroom 2020s indie pop like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3IrW-Hbb4w&t=89s

^ that's also him

idk i think it would make us sound a bit more original, a bit more modern, a bit more subdued in a way that's accessible to normies -- would still sound like bright eyes in performance, just wouldn't have that 2000s trebly, higher energy kinda sound

would ideally sound like the sequel to bright eyes rather than the ripoff
>>
>>128730030
Honestly the main thing I was underscoring with the Bright Eyes comparison is literally that your singing voice sounds very very similar to Conor Oberst - and well, there’s presumably not a whole lot you can/should do about that right now.

I don’t think the choice of drummer should be guided by the comparison worry; do what you actually feel is best to bring what you want out of the songs.

The flute sound here is awful sorry. Especially given this melody and the sort of little runs you’re doing.

Literally just go out and buy a flute, you can get cheap bamboo ones on eBay/Ali/Temu/whatever for a few dollars.

The warped stuff in the background is cool though. The piece could actually work if you finished it though.

My latest sloppy noodling drafts. I would appreciate your opinion on structuring.

This version goes from bedroom elevator muzak intro/verse to a bluesy riff at 1:44 after the chorus, however it feels more disjointed
https://voca.ro/1mZSa73Cd5sK

This one has a bluesy thing integrated as a part of verse before a chorus, which I feel as a better introduction of the riff, however it makes overall structure too repetitive

New one to show off. This is song number 2, 3? I can't remember. It screams "track 1." The lyrics are indeed bad, but I have a weird thing about whether words are kept or not. In my estimation, I was a terrible lyricist back then, but if I was able to vomit up this stuff, which isn't terribly offensive, it can stay. I also don't want to sound like I'm deteriorating as a lyricist on my later work.

What cymbal? There was no cymbal. Only snare and kick drum. It sounds like indie/post punk video game music. Maybe the drum sound could phase into a real drum sound or you can keep it that way. Needs better production or you can keep it intentionally low fi.

I wish I could sing a trad song like this properly. I can barely sing in my natural accent at all, and my voice is so fucking melodramatic the only one’s I can pull off are the haunting laments about wanting to throw yourself into your lover’s grave. (I mean, that’s no small repertoire, but still.)
>>
>>128759082
Just go for it.
This weekend when you have a few pints, when you get home put on rebel songs or a ballad and bellow a few lines.

The thing I found is to sing within your "range" basically your normal speaking voice but drawing out the vowels without going to high or low.
aaaa
oooo
uuuu
iiii
eeee
yyyy
You can warm up like with vowels and dont forget to record yourself so you can get over the cringe.
And when you reckon you got a song you can sing sort of try and project it to a fake audience in your room.
I have weeks that I sing and then nothing for months and then I sing for weeks and so on.

Yes, it sounds a little warbled and washy.
>How
Pay someone or get better at your craft. We all suck in the beginning. Nobody was particularly good in the early stages of their craft.
It is up to you. Being not good is a necessary step in artistic evolution. Plenty of bands and artists who had not so great debuts or early eps that eventually got better with time and with familiarity with the process

I cant remember the guy you sound like but it sounds british I think.
I might be wrong, I am not that well versed in music/bands/singers etc.

Heard something like this a lot in movies, maybe RockNRolla or Lock Stock and three smoking barrels.

I'd say you could go pro

Wish I knew some rappers to work with. This is a WIP beat.

this is so sick, love ur vocals and the style of ur production!

>>128750506
i LOVE the slacker tone on this so much, i see what ur going for here and id rlly like to hear more. this really reminds me of what id be listening to when i was first getting into all the 90s pavement/malkmus stuff, if i heard this during that time period itd definitely be on rotation. the screams toward the end also r so raw.

>>128745514
the production/beat on this is really nice, but seconding the other anon that suggested a diff miku preset or just adding more effects on her vocals to give it a more unique feel
>>
>>128768289
Thanks! Pavement is not what I'd expect... I think the original idea was if Behind The Lines by Genesis was on Weezer's Blue Album. The song was never finished until we went in to record, so I quickly figured out that bridge section, which by my estimation is shameless Dinosaur Jr plagiarism. It feels to me a little bit like a song that was never strangled into it's proper form, but it's so old that I don't care. Never came up with a proper title, so it's just called Yellow cause that's the color it sounds like to me.

i wish i could sing so i could partake in these threads.

Rough little whiny emo bedroom demo of a song about my old truck that caught fire. First attempt on the vocals, need to re-record them and mix the track better. I'm recording with a 4track and mixing to a older tape deck.

"I just put it in again
It's been a long time
Motor spinning
but the belt is slipping
The laser eye can't shine
The metal teeth from the apparition
hit the cylinder and bite
It tried to turn over again
but just wined and wined

and I just shaved my head again
instead of putting memories in it
and I don't remember when
I wanted to be in them

I just stuck it in again
To see if it would start
my heart was clicking rapidly
like spokes with trading cards
the platter spun a couple times
and then it started smoking
I ran behind a joshua tree
and watched the commotion

black soot in the air and in my lungs
I know that's what I'm made of

In the air
And my lungs

Tires stuck in snow
on a desert road
feeling dead-end commotion
Think I'm stuck in limbo
Stuck in limbo"

vocals are almost unintelligble.
No idea how you can change that
>>
>>128770241
just remembered, you can upload MP3s to Vocaroo so no need to record live.
Get a free audio editing program and slap the vocals together with the track and upload it and boom we can hear your voice better :D
>>
>>128768289
this is pretty cool but like these ones >>128760576 >>128770241 it is hard to hear the vocals

The track made me think of Ice JJ fish, no idea why xD
sounds good tho

>>128770317
I'll just re-record the vocals and mix my shit better when I get over this flu I've got going. I lurk this board a lot so ill repost when ive got this cleaned up eventually.

Another tune for the prospective EP. I remember listening to that dog. and trying to write a song like Long Island. I think this needs a few touch ups in some places, I don't really like the way the last note of the guitar solo dies. The different guitar takes also get so slightly out of sync at the start in a way that drives me nutty. Maybe I'm losing perspective, who knows.

What is this song? It's a female singer, guitar backing track I think, kind of like beabadoobee
>>
Spent an afternoon channeling my inner Trent Reznor.

Heavily auto-tuned vocals because I'm not gud at the in-tune sings.

> -16 lufs. Maybe drop the volume a bit

Yeah, very very much has that late NIN vibes. I like the little details like that rattly texture in the beat. Not that keen on the strings sound, though that might just be me; maybe experiment with some other sounds, different synths/patches etc? Vocal delivery could maybe be better (not in the sense of like, singing ability or whatever - moreso just there’s a kind of affectation to it that doesn’t quite fit imo).

Really good start.

No, it's more like new soul by yael naim or that coffee song by beabadoobee. It most likely has millions of views on youtube. The song is not very samba at all, the backing track guitar is just bedroom pop stuff, but the vocal melody maybe has a bit of a samba rhythm, maybe

Please someone help me find this song. The robots have failed me and BRAIN-FM can only satisfy me for so long. Some kind of folksy or sea shanty song. Old. Attached is the tune in my head in da's: https://voca.ro/18ecbJOV0xjc

Pleasant mumbling from you and your guitar, but mumbling can only be so good. One of you needs to straighten out.
>>128777334
Not a fan of the bass sound, personally.

Honestly sounds like too generic a melody to tell from this. Hope you remember it bro

>>128776882

there’s something about this that’s really compelling. the musical ideas on the guitar and in the vocals are beautiful, and the overall atmosphere is there. I can see this becoming really really special (and I’m not just gassing you up - develop your sound a bit, and I could easily imagine your work being the kind of off-kilter folk I absolutely love to listen to).

*but* I also largely agree with the other anon. the complete lack of articulation in the vocals, to the point that to the listener it just wordless groaning, is jarring, especially when the guitar is also a little messy (even if it’s very well-composed).

Thom Yorke gets away with singing like that because he’s got Radiohead behind him and nobody actually wants to hear what he has to say anyway. Quirky indie Lo-fi folk people get away with playing the guitar like that usually because they articulate their lyrics clearly enough that the whole thing comes together anyway.

you don’t need to change anything drastic or start enunciating like a theatre kid like >>128705180 but even just a smidge more control over the sound would tip this from a great idea to a little masterpiece.

Is this a generic AI generated pop song about God?

Don’t like it man. That shit’s Satanic, sorry.

Came up with this blues-ish acoustic guitar riff that goes into some weird modal stuff.

Is it worth developing/working into a song?

Mostly wondering because I find singing while playing this kind of riff really hard so I want to know if the riff is actually interesting enough to be worth trying.
