WOW COOL NICE

i just want to say its not easy incorporating exsternal hardware into a pc software and putting the sounds to gethere specialy without £3000 of kit to do it right yet its easy to mix within the software so i know where Ba0Bou is comming from

There is a lot more to learn on production than some people think..don`t sweat it my friend...it just takes time. There are some decent training courses on line at Berklee Institute but like everything they cost a bit. Some of the music magazines are ok too but they tend to be DAW or genre specific.If you can find a good mentor with the knowledge and patience that really helps..I was able to get several friends locally started back in the days when I had better hearing and was actively involved in studio operation...no worries...it will come in time. Happy to help if I can but my music time is really limited lately. Bet you will find some help here on LM...thats what its about.

Has a cool retro vibe. I think you have about all the ingredients here,,the main issues are with production: needs to be stepped up in gain and lots of punch added. Good idea to start with compression on the individual tracks that need it (drums..quick release will get them perking...guitar, bass...you can nail the bass with lots of compression & a slow release..insert some soft-knee limiting on the master when you mix down...render a pre-master mix, then set up a new mastering project to finalize & bring a little closer to commercial volume...but don`t do the loudness war thing..it just squashes your instrument peaks...cheers...sounding good. keep it going..have fun

NICE MAN IN WAYS I CAN IMAGINE a jazzy brass to this

I got a real "Sympathy for the devil" vibe from this one. it's a good tune, as Ben has stated it's in the mix, levels, and finally the mastering where you need this song to be elevated to the rightful lofty status it deserves. I need those vocals brought up louder. the only reason they are not is that you probably don't feel comfortable yet singing. This is where a taskmaster producer comes in handy kicking you in the gonads to bring that sound up. I would also bring aboard some Ozone 9 from Izotope to widen the mix with the relay, especially with those guitars. and maybe subtly add in Valhalla Supermassive for some space. Right now it sounds like a proper 4 track demo made in a basement. I can't wait to hear what ben does with it. If you need another perspective I can always lend a hand as well.
Good work.

ffffffff

Happy to help. Make sure they are all dry (no post EQ, but "baked in" wet FX are fine, such as guitar pedal FX), and normalized (if possible). Also, I get to wait up to 24 hrs for OneDrive to "unfreeze," so I might be sending you a google drive folder link instead, we will see.

TTYL.

Good writing and composition.

I think I still have a shared folder with you. If you want, I can send a fresh link. Drop your stems in. I will fix your loudness/saturation/muddiness issues, then explain what I did via email.

Up to you. Hope you are doing well, TTYL.

Hey there - I like the energy and the composition - the very live sound is kinda cool but I do wonder what a more 'studio' sound might do - sound wise there is a lot of space in there that might be utilised. For some reason the guitar had me thinking of talking heads - circa - more songs about building and food. Overall I think it is a great track - for sure keep going with it : )

The bones are there. I can feel the energy. I think the BPM needs to drop by 10-15. It feels a little rushed. But the overall melody, guitar strumming and bass are great. Steely Dan vibe.

loving the guitr sound and the over all energy of this track good work so far.

Hello BaoBou,

I love the composition.
I haven't heard any of your music since the old days
(2019) when I first got on LM.

It feels like you brick walled the EQ at 100Hz.
The Bass and Drums were jamming but I couldn't really
hear or feel them(that could just be me IJS)

I'm really into the Keys and Vocals.
The track sounds "Live".

Great track. Faved..

PEACE...

Hey BaoBou nice track, it's got bounce bro, vocal needs to be louder the guitars and bass are great as are the solid drums great rolls bro, I'm glad you're excited about this, don't care about anyone more than being you and doing it YOUR way great bones to master bro bring it back when you have your best cut
