That guy's is a pro and it's pretty amazing. It's also not how I write songs anymore, so it wouldn't fit my current tracks anymore but holy smoke it's fun.
Now this is what I did 10 days ago:

I might do another one tonight :) (that's UK time)
Yeah the "blank canvas" is what's most fun to me but also the hardest to make work for an audience. Now that I'm slowly getting more confident performing I might give it another go. Maybe on a secret side channel :D

It's really interesting though, great use of the booming bass... vocal? or is it a synth? It's very good, and I love the mix and how you put all kind of little details in the background, loud enough so you notice them but not so loud they're distracting.
Great job, so many interesting tracks this morning!

The piano loop works well and the spoken vocals give it a great vibe; and then with the dubstep you make it something new again. For the final part from 2:17 maybe you can introduce again a new element so it feels more like a climax?
Good job!

Ca me plait beaucoup!
on GO LOW ft Nat James - Second Nature by secondnature1
The intro (and the transition after the chorus) may need a bit more work - it throws me off a bit at least. Eg in the intro the beat wasn't entirely clear to me until I heard it the 3rd time; and around 0:40 there's something that doesn't flow perfectly in the vocal.
But all those are little niggles. This is a really strong track; I'm just mentioning these as I think you can lift it from an 8 to a 9.5.
Good luck man!

I was originally scared of streaming 'blank canvas' music. But if it inspires new artists I'm all for it.
Although some people didn't appreciate how long I took to do certain things...I informed them "Guys, sometimes you have to listen to a riff 250 times to make sure it's what you want for the song. You're going to listen to your own work a thousand of times before you release it into the wild. That is what the stream is for, that thought process too."

Mostly you've done an amazing job though and as a game maker I would love to use this. It's also amazing what you've done with free resources.
Great job!

on German Piano No 4 by Seelengold
Same for making music - I had a bit more background than you but the main thing is to make a tiny step every day and 5 or 10 years from now you'll look back at the journey you made :)
Oh, and from experience I can tell you now... Get a teacher :)
Especially the past 1.5 years I've made much bigger strides due to amazing teachers, first for drumming, then singing, then production... And that really made a huge difference.
Viel Glück! Und viel Spass :)

I love the little sounds in the background and it's a happy little tune. Good job!
on German Piano No 4 by Seelengold
thank you for listening and your advice!
Yes, I have to take care of chords, which I have neglected so far.
On the other hand, I am glad to have brought it to the present state at all. Half a year ago a DAW was a complete mystery to me and I really found absolutely no access to this mystery; absolutely not, not even rudimentary (my musical activity and knowledge had never gone beyond elementary school time) and someone whose knowledge in these things I could have queried was also not there.
It was really infinitely tedious.... In this respect, I am very grateful if people give me hints and tips. I do not take it for granted and appreciate it very much!
Kind regards from Germany

on Fourteen Eighty Seven by SoapTape
I'll upload version 2 of this with the drums.
on One Funky Song by FunkRick
I do feel there's something slightly weird in the melody you have them play; one note that seems a bit late and sticks out. Otherwise it's very smooth and funky!
Mixing wise: all instruments have a good volume; the balance left/right is generally good but the guitar really sticks out panned to the elft like the rest of the band didn't want him to sit with the rest (maybe he's smelly).
You can probably increase the master volume for Looperman; some streaming sites do this automagically but Looperman doesn't. In general some mastering wouldn't hurt; put a compressor on the master (and on the individual tracks of you haven't) plus saturator/limiter etc (EQ the individual tracks if you hadn't already done that). There's also plugins and even sites online that do it for you.
Good luck, as said it's very funky, and that's how I like it!

on Galactic Strut by yuggy5
It's doing well actually - by my standards. It has some streams on the various platforms and I even sold 4 physical CDs :D
Now let's see if the album can sell 5 ;)
Thanks man!!
on instinct by TheBride
Consider shortening the intro a bit though, because you almost lost me before I got there. Eg maybe start at 0:30?
