Your sound is really interesting, Im curious about your workflow. That way I can help you improve your sound a bit more, without you having to get overwhelmed trying to figure everything out on your own.
Saluti, Chris
The vocals are completely untouched, just as the AI generated them with a slight reverb.
And the rest of the tracks - bass, violins, synths, etc. - only have their volume and panning adjusted, nothing else. Since using equalizers, reverb, delay, etc. was too complex for me, I found a VST called "Neutron 5 Elements by Izotope" which seemed simpler. By simply indicating the type of instrument playing on the track, it presets some parameters, making it easy to open up the stereo effect, apply dynamics, and so on. But I've realized that's not the solution. If I want it to sound good, I have to use specific effects for each element. This track hasn't been mastered at all. When it sounded good to me, I just rendered it to WAV and MP3, and that was it.
To learn how to master, I've downloaded Limited Z as a limiter, Youlean Loudness Meter to adjust the LUFS, and I'm undecided between two spectrum analyzers (Spectrum Analyzer and FreqAnalyst by Blue Cat). I'm also planning to use TDR Nova for equalization.
Seriously, don't waste your time with me. If I can't understand things by watching YouTube videos, I'm certainly not going to understand them this way, haha. Just your intention alone makes me feel like I'm on cloud nine, that artists like you dedicate your time to amateurs like me.
Thank you so much, Chris, really. I'll learn little by little. Besides, I take care of many very old animals (between 10 and 15 years old) that take up almost all my time. Each day I have a little time to see what's been uploaded here (I've become addicted to listening to all of you) and then watch YouTube videos to learn.
Best regards, Juan Carlos

The vocal performance is captivating, and the atmosphere is beautifully crafted for the genre. Theres a clear artistic identity here. With a refined mix and a polished master, this could easily stand alongside high-level releases. Great work this definitely deserves further development and exposure. The track has a solid foundation and strong emotional delivery. To elevate it further, the mix could benefit from more clarity and balance especially in the midrange and vocal presence. A tighter low end and more controlled dynamics would help. With proper mastering (EQ, compression, stereo image), it can reach a very professional level.
Thank you so much for your interest, I'm flattered.
The vocals are nothing special; I used AI because if I sang them myself, I know people would have nightmares for weeks, haha. With the help of ChatGPT, I adapted the lyrics I had in mind into English (I don't speak English) to make them sound good using different words.
Once I had the lyrics, I went to Suno.
I told the AI: "An a cappella female voice for a chill house track. The chord progression is B-Ebm-Db-G#m, tempo 120 BPM, each chord lasts 8 bars. A soft, ethereal, and sweet female voice with a warm and emotive tone. The performance is intimate and expressive, with whispered textures and clear pronunciation. Avoid excessive vibrato or an aggressive performance. Maintain a soft, calm, and hypnotic tone."
I also explained the song's structure to him and how he should interpret each part of it.
After several attempts, we came up with something I liked.

The vocals on the first two songs are by Odarka, whose voice I found spectacular. I created this vocal using AI because I wanted to express in the lyrics what I had in mind and adapt it to the chords I had already partially created. I find each process very complicated. Too many parameters and adjustments in the plugins. Many times I can't tell if it sounds better or worse when I change something; perhaps at my age my ear is no longer able to distinguish certain things. I started watching tutorials after Christmas, and in March I finished my first song, which I published here. In the next few days, I'll upload a new, very simple one, which I'm using to put into practice the advice you give me in the community about effects, panning, and things like that. And above all, to see what mastering is like, since I've never done it before. I'll wait for the community's advice on what I'm doing wrong.
I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for your comments.
All the best.

I'm very flattered by your interest in my song. The vocals and lyrics belong to Odarka, a member of this community. You'll need to contact her; I'll leave the link at the end. I'm sure she'd be happy to work something out with you. The music is mine, and I have no problem with you using it. The only thing I would ask is that you let me know how you'll be using it and, if it's for any kind of publication, that you include some kind of credit to me. I don't want any financial compensation. Just knowing that you liked it would be enough for me.
I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Best regards.

By the way, I appreciate your offer to send me the album when you release it, but I think what you do is so good that it should be paid for, which I'll gladly do.
Thank you very much for listening to my music and commenting on it.
Best regards, Juan Carlos

I'm so glad to hear that you joined this community because of the fantastic Odarka - a musician I greatly admire, but even more so, a wonderful person. And now that you're here, you're already a valued member of this small group.
As others have mentioned before, this song is very well arranged and thought out - it really lacks nothing. You wrote that you're still having some difficulties with mixing and mastering and want to learn more. But you've already done a great job with this track.
I can't give you any general advice, because every song and every instrument needs to be considered individually. But just like with composing, you'll develop your own style in the technical aspects over time.
Years ago, a brilliant sound engineer - who was also my musical mentor during my vocal training - gave me some advice that I've never forgotten. He said, "Mixing is the stage. You have to use it to its fullest." Just as every musician has their place on a real stage, every instrument has its place on the soundstage. Each one must be audible and locatable for the listener. It's crucial to decide which instrument should dominate at any given moment.
Be careful with effects - they can easily cause everything to become too muddy and the sound muddy. Left and right create the width of the soundstage; reverb and echo create the depth. In this sense, music is three-dimensional.
If mixing determines the placement of instruments in the listening space, then mastering is like stage lighting. It's even referred to as a sound image. And again: be careful with mastering effects - less is often more.
Another helpful tip: mix and master in several sessions. Give your ears a break. And when you think you're finally finished, put the song aside and don't listen to it for a few days. You'll often notice things afterward that you missed during the process.
If you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact us. We're happy to help if we can. There are some very competent technicians in this community one of them is TheFrenz. I think he can give you a lot of valuable advice.
Best regards, Manuela
I was so impressed by your message. It's clear you love music, not only because of the songs you make, but also because you took the time to answer me in such detail. I'll definitely keep your advice in mind. You're absolutely right about letting your ears rest before continuing. The first song I made, I was in a hurry to upload to thank Odarka for her contribution, and then a few days later, when I listened to it again, I didn't like how it sounded. It seemed to have too much bass. One of my problems is that I thought mixing and mastering were the same thing: adjusting the volume of each instrument, equalizing, adding reverb, etc.
I was so touched to read your message and see that there are people like you, even as professional artists, who care and dedicate their time to answering and helping people like me. Although we may have come to this world later in life, we're still excited to learn and create something that can bring joy and happiness to others.
Thank you so much for your advice and for taking the time to help me.
