Description : ok so on this one im looking for some constructive crit.. some major go ahead and rip on this please lol.. its a 3 way collab between me oasis duke and sierra,, which is starting to sound rather nice.. i just want some advice on the guitars and how to make them sound authentic and any other critisism too.. the harsher the better.. hope you enjoy :) ok so ive tweaked this to the best of my ability and only swish i could play the guitar.. huge props to all you rockers on here.. its soo hard to get an authentic sound.. Ok final tweak i made the vocals dry on this, took the chorus on the vox and kicked it to the curb. Hope it sounds better..

This is a great tune...great vibe, I wouldnt change a thing, just maybe a little work on the panning.

Send me the midi and I will play the guitar...

I would look at the stereo panning of the vocals, focus them... Try a mid/side converter and get them very center, but then! Try an place them over the top.

JEssuzzz that's an awesome accapella.

Feeeuck. lol

BUt yea, the drums need to be way more forefront man, in my humble opnion. I would put them way forward in the mix, and then base everything else upon that.

Just my opinion.

MAN? Can I be honest with you?
I really really like your production style, and this one is like... kinda shocking.. I LOVE IT, don't get me wrong.. I am like.. PROUD of you for doing this, but why does this sound soo off

*BTW, I am listening with headphones.

That being said... I want you to know this is amazing.
This is great.

ON them vocals, MONO
Bring drums forefront and the focus, guitar is ok, but I would happily do this lol

Bass is great.

There's too much focus.. I like my stuff very mono and then do panning after the fact!!!
BUT please know I do everything by headphones.

Feeeeuck once again, because these lyrics....?

IS she hitting someone?

Let me treat some stuff?
Hah..

I love it man.
Either way.
This is music.

hey i like this man,it has that 90's rock feel to it,the vocals are okay(im not a vocal guy)but they seem to fix well with the track.

just add a little more warmth to track and loudness to the guitar in a grunge type way LOL

Nothing can take the place of a well played guitar through an amp, it's a hard sound to reproduce electronically, imo. I liked the track, overall was cool and the vox was well done.

You may want to try some effects like a simple delay, tremelo or reverb to make it have a sense of movement, it sounded a bit flat, some kind of modulation would be nice. You could also try doubling the track, pan them left and right and do a slightly different effect on each one. So many options really, it's an open track right now, anything is possible now!

Organ might sound good on this. A little hihat in syncopation with the drum might work. Look forward to the finished song.

Nice Collab guys! On the guitar sound - if you did this in Reason you could try adding a Sream 4 Distortion to it.

Is this 7/8. I like it! The guitar sounds a little Mr Roboto in spots, but the base of the track is excellent! I'd love to hear a real guitar (nothing compares to the real thing when it comes to a rock guitar) and better drums... but thats just because it would polish this superb track up to what it deserves!

Description : I wanted to produce something as close to conventional trap as I could, while still keeping the Mindway sound. The verses and bridge are as close to rapping as I will probably ever get, and using 808s is kinda growing on me. Maybe could be better, but I am liking where it is.

Description : This is a complete redo of a Jazz track I wrote a while ago and uploaded earlier this year. I attempted to remaster the original, and it bit me. So I bit back and here's the result. Jazz with a Latin flair. For those interested, I mastered this using the HUM JAAL mastering limiter. I'm loving that BEAST! Take a listen and share your thoughts Enjoy!

Description : What up LM family, next up is a track we put together last week, and one of my current favs. I got the stems from Nea Mera's remix of 'Make Em Feel This' and made some dope samples that really accent this track. He said it's hard for him to hear everything that I did with his stems, but I also know that LM is full of audiophiles who will pick out everything in a heartbeat. So Remember, this was your suggestion, Nea Mera LOL. I remembered to list the personel this
