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

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?

on Hypnotic by carminerendina
I like how you combined the vocals though, and the idea of having only a bass and drums and no other instruments is also really cool!

Regarding "tracks to get played outside Looperman" - hey, I made that journey from "crap track on Looperman" to "decent track on looperman" to "some tracks on youtube" to "some listeners on youtube" to "some people to telling me to bring out an EP"... to doing a small concert of my own songs this weekend.
I mean... I honestly didn't think that was possible even a year ago and now I'm setting new milestones and new goals and while I still think it's all crap and I don't expect anybody to listen... some people do. So NEVER THINK THAT! Even if you're just being realistic, it can also be nice to be ever so slightly ambitious.
So, long story short, yes, people might play it. You might play it. You might DJ somewhere. Now imagine people standing around on the dance floor and you are starting your latest track and you want to blow their tiny minds - and your intro should tell them PREPARE TO BE BLOWN, EARTHLINGS. Wait, that's not what I meant ;)
So yeah, intros need to be interesting. Good luck :)
Congratulations on doing the concert of your songs this weekend! That's definitely a serious milestone!
Regards,
Eric
on I Cant Lose by EricMilligan
Great use of the vocals although I don't like the autotune. That could be in the stock vocal, else I would simply remove it?
Finally I didn't know Moses was called Bob, but he seems to have a nice side job besides splitting the red sea. Great danceable track man!
I think your comment on the intro is a good one, though. Not that I ever expect any of my tracks to get played outside of Looperan, but I do know that listeners want to get right into the track quickly, so long-winded intros are not favoured. I guess I forgot that.
You are right about the autotune being in the original vocal loops. Can't do anything to remove that effect, as far as I know. I did spent quite a bit of time searching the web for vocal Loops from R&B singers who had similar voices and styles, but didn't find anything that I could work with. It's interesting that almost all of what's available now is from high-pitched tenors with pretty much no "rasp" in their vocal delivery.

I didn't fully understand it (I couldn't really tell when you would be going from techno to guitars and back) but I guess that doesn't matter, and I certainly had fun listening. Kudos, more of this!
