Listen To Before I Go - By Mansasworld Pop Song By Juankar | Looperman

Description : A very short song, barely 2:30 minutes long, with very few instruments. It's simply to continue learning about mixing and mastering. I based it somewhat on the percussion from a song I love, "Say It Right" by Nelly Furtado.

And I used the acapella from Mansasworld - "Before I Go."

The rest is all very simple: bass, guitar, pad, and a choral vocal sound that I love.
I appreciate constructive criticism to keep improving.
I'm not sure what genre it is; I've listed it as Pop.

Muy buena cancion Juankar, mezcla muy bien equilibrada, la voz en el centro y al frente, y la percusion es perfecta, es verdad que tiene poca variacion pero a veces hay canciones en las que puedes estar escuchando el mismo loop sin cansarte y esta es un ejemplo de ello

Hello Juan,
for me, genres have always played only a very small role. There are several reasons for that. Most modern songs do not fit into just one genre anymore, and in the end it does not matter which label you put on a track. What matters is whether people find it and whether it connects with the audience.

A song needs to be interesting. Statistics show that most listeners decide within the first five seconds whether they continue listening or skip to the next track. And after about thirty seconds, the song has to convince and excite them, otherwise they move on. The genre does not influence that.
The same statistics also show that people do not search by genre as much as they used to. Cover art and song descriptions are far more important today than old fashioned box thinking.

If you are mainly looking for feedback on mixing and mastering, I can say that your track already sounds very balanced. Nothing jumps out as disturbing or wrong. Maybe it is a bit strongly driven, but that is a matter of taste. You placed the focus on dominant drums and percussion, which works well for a short version.

But if you plan to extend the track to a usual 3+ minute radio edition, then you will need more variation. Otherwise it becomes too one dimensional. That is more a songwriting topic than a mixing or mastering issue.

I am not a sound engineer, the professionals in the studio handle that, but I am sure some of our colleagues here will also share their thoughts.

A very nice track.
Warm greetings,
Manuela

Hi Manuela!

Thank you so much for saying that the mix and mastering are already sounding a bit better. I don't think I'll expand on it or continue working on it; these are just tests to learn in the little free time I have. I also felt like it sounded a bit louder, but I adjusted it the same as the last one at 14 LUFs, so I'm sure I'm missing something.
It's true that I got a little carried away with the drums, haha, but when I heard the Mansasworld acapella, I don't know why, but that Nelly Furtado song came to mind, and I got too focused on the drums.
I was amazed to see how thoroughly you've studied the market, how much time it takes to hook a listener; it's all super interesting. I suppose in your case you have to consider everything to reach the widest possible audience, although with the quality of your work that's easy; you only have to listen to one of your tracks to know you want to hear more.
I was asking about the genre because there are so many on the list that I get confused. I agree with you that searching for music by genre is a mistake. I would never have listened to Trap music, for example, but since I listen to everything that's released daily, I've found songs that are labeled as trap and I've loved them. If I like it... I like it, the genre doesn't matter to me.

Thank you very much for your comment and congratulations on the work you and the band are doing.

Best regards.
Juan Carlos.

Description : hi guys, so the object here was to write an original Christmas track that has all the Christmas trimmings but also brings home a few stark reminders, things that you don't necessarily think about as you selfishly open your presents with your families, i would describe it as a modern day festive treat, it has nods to the old, and the true meaning of Christmas, this is so not what you'd expect from dime, lol, tbf Im gassed about it :)

Merry Christmas everybody, hope you enjoy

Description : Please listen to the original version of Its Me by Speacarrier. She just picks up her ukulele and her beautiful voice sings the pain off her soul. After Rushes I couldn't resist putting her in a different musical bed again. I hope you like it.

A big Thanks to Juke 4060 and Takesbeat for your guitars.
