on All Of You by alessandro5c
1) One thing I note is that the vocals are distorting. Not sure if that's compression or something else, but I think you can dial that back and have more of your real voice come out
2) You have your vocals and keyboard and no other instruments which is cool, not so many people dare do that, but then you need to put a lot of dynamic and the arc of the song in the keys and your voice.
Right now it sounds the same at the start as at the beginning, and I think you can make it richer, by for instance how loud you play/sing, by maybe adding a bit more rhythm i the chords, etc.
Think about it. I think you and your song deserve it. Good luck man!

Cheers!
on jesus has a mighty sword by Zootman
on Duck N Roll by MetalBear
Nice! But I think no live guitars were harmed in the making of this song and this is with keyboards/VSTs? Or with actual guitar?
Very pleasant song to listen to!
on Same Old Thing by pseudoble
Sweetness.
I use a nice old yamaha (unpopular but top of the range pacifica) mostly (also have a few classical and a taylor steel string cutaway. Usually play in the second postion sometimes the first so its a humbucker and single coil combined mostly.
I used to play through a little gadget called zoom which was pretty good but six months ago got onto Neural DSP - go check the range out - Ive trialled all of the archetypes and more https://neuraldsp.com/plugins. The range of sounds that you can achieve is amazing and well spotted there are two different set ups / presets / configuration on the guitar in this track
: )

on Greece by JCastz
As far as the track is concerned, I think you have a good start; but to me it sounds a bit like you repeat the same idea a number of times without too many buildup or changes, and I think that would make it stronger. Good luck!!
on Lacore Diamond - A Spark of Hope by Lacore
on Melody in my head by MMuller
on Not whistling dixie by pseudoble
One minor point you could consider (I'm hoping this would help) is that you could have maybe more of a focus or audible change, an evolution towards the end of the song or maybe even a sort of climax. I think it might make it even stronger, but it's already very interesting.
Well done buddy!
on Personal Memoirs ft Mike White - guitarist by OMaille
Very pretty, kudos to your guitar buddy too!
on GOTH ROCK GIRL by ClickbaitCabaret
on lo que hicieron de mi by Ashesndreams
I like the track. I remember working with your "Sonido de las Olas" and I wouldn't mind doing something again with your acapella, so I'm storing that one in my mind for later use if you don't mind :)
Adios amiga!
on And it could be different by vkislitsin
The bit around 0:20-0:25 didn't quite fit in my brain, but it's a minor blip and hoy crapballs there is much to enjoy this track. You do something similar around 2:40; there it makes more sense to my tiny brain and I get what you're doing - so maybe the first bit is just a great way to introduce that.
You clearly channeled your inner Mark Knopfler there and I want to hear more! Love it.
on My Rise Metal Demo Track by Vintyara
The thing you may want to work on is the lead guitar. I think a) it needs to pop more in the mix (so increase the volume relative to the other trakcs or - heresy for metal - dial the others back a bit ;) ) but also I don't really like the sound.
I'm going to assume it's a VST, because it sounds quite keyboardy (good playing skillz btw), so if that's the case, maybe you can find a better sample for it. If it's live recorded and that's just what your pedals give you, then sorry ;)
The switch to the piano half way is a very nice surprise and works really well!
yes. I use only VST instruments.
In the future i record with live instruments

on CityLifeish Featuring KingMT77-Drums by Jynxz
Mark started me out on my musical journey(back in the day).
The composition, Synth (playing) and arrangement are all me,
altho I don't coubt that Mark optimized some of the timings during his Mastering of the track.
Thanks for giving the track a listen and encouraging comments.
It's good to see you back on LM. You were here jammin when I first joined this great music community.
PEACE...
on Wonder by GomorTenzen
on AB RAIHAN-Be Happy by abraihan
Only comment I would have is that the build-up seems long compared to the "pay-off", so maybe you can shorten the first part a bit and make the main part longer?
