You've managed to create a very smoothing track. Its so relaxing and just an all out enjoyable listen. I can picture listening to this track while on the road and just wanting to relax.

I love this one. Feel like a Martini just listening to it. What really intrigues me is how you mixed it. The opening Rhodes piano is compressed to the DB limit,But used in a staccato like way which works well and the percussion is so subtle. And then we have the heavily chorused organ, which almost gives it an old rotary cabinet feel. The bass also fits in nicely just adding to the sounds and not dominating the melody. good work.

I feel like I should be stoned and driving while my city while it softly rains. Thinking about life, whatnot, and what have you Fantastic! Maybe lower the gain a little. Either way it's amazing

very cool stuff here with lot of rnb/lounge feeling...those synths are great and the groovy too...could imagine some vocs (female) on it, of course with a widened version...

congrats and handshake, Danke

Some nice stuff here.

A subdued beginning and I like that simple kick, small clap and timbale/bongo drum setup.

0:18 good keys sound but maybe its a little too loud/powerful.

Chilled drums are very laidback but that instrument's overpowering them too much.

1:12 not keen on that far right panned fizzy string pad. Sounds too distant and too bright and fizzy. Could be filtered to be warmer (less fizz).

There's a good, lazy Sunday vibe here but I think you can make it more chilled out and smoother by turning some elements down, especially around 2:00. Otherwise, the simple movement of the keys is pleasant and inviting.

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

In retrospect, I do agree that perhaps the climax around 2:00 was a bit too much. Personally, I love the pad at 1:12 where it is right now, but I can see why you wouldn't enjoy it.

Thanks for listening!

Description : This short audio introduces MossFree Shoreline, a roof care service based in Shoreline, Washington. It explains how moss spreads across wet Pacific Northwest roofs, creeps under the shingles, and holds moisture against the roof all year long, and how a gentle soft wash removes that moss without damaging the shingles. It also covers the other services mentioned in the audio: moss treatment and prevention, gutter cleaning, and roof leak detection. roofmossremovalshorelinewa.com

Description : Made with a good amount of out of tune on a very minory chordy tuning I did about a week or two ago.

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me

Description : I wanted to create something similar to Celldweller's songs, but with a more upbeat vibe. :P

I created the vocals while benchmarking the vocal capabilities of various AI models: sound effects, transitions, etc. Modern AI models have already been reduced, so they won't be able to do that (I tried).

I used Audacity/OpenMPT (also audio2audio).

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.
