Hey, squad! Your feedback for my last pop ballad, Ghost of Us was extremely helpful, so I'm back again with another one that I'm working on! This one's a cover of a Jesse McCartney song called New Stage. Inspiration for this one is similar to the last with maybe some more electronic elements. Still working on the mix and adding some little details, but I'd love your feedback in helping me finish this one up this week! Things I could use help with: -Drums in the last chorus I feel like could be bigger, but I'm not sure where to go with it! @Tim Jeffcoat your drumming feedback is always welcome! -I took most instruments out at the end of the second verse, trying to create a moment going into the Chorus but it didn't turn out how I had imagined it! Haha, what am I missing? https://s.disco.ac/qxtskagzlrvs Thanks again in advance!

Jumping on the feedback train! Sync Vault friends - one of my aims, getting started in sync licensing, is to compose emotive, slightly mysterious vibing tracks for productions like fine arts dance, quirky indie films and shows, and documentaries, etc. I write other genres, but have been going deep into cinematic electronica production for the past year or two. I’m trying to figure out what my strongest sync “lanes” are, and Glenn encouraged me to share something I’ve written recently, to show one of the directions I’m taking. Glenn also encouraged me to start finding video content to practice underscoring, so I found a short dance performance film on Vimeo and paired it with a recent track of mine. It’s probably a little quirky, but I’m sharing it anyway! The audio is not mixed yet, so I’m looking for more feedback on the production. I’m open to any kind of notes and welcome all varieties of opinions. Most importantly, I wanted to join in the vulnerable experience of sharing something I’m a little unsure about. I’m also excited to keep learning, experimenting, and moving toward pitching! Some possible feedback points: -What genre does this feel like to you? -What video mediums could you see this working with? -Is it hitting as an audio dreamscape or overly simple? -Do any of the sounds come across as dated in a bad way, or in a good way (vintagey)? -Is it quirky in a cool way, or in a not commercially marketable way, lol? Thanks for checking it out - I’ve been loving hearing all the original work you guys are creating! https://s.disco.ac/wkmmnhdoocup

let us know down below!

First off I wanna say I greatly appreciate the feedback from the first post, I applied the necessary changes and overall I feel as if my track is that much closer to being finished. I am new to this style of music and have only been producing it for a few months now. I have experimented with ideas before but I’ve never actually gave it enough effort. Most ideas got abandoned in the wasteland of no return. However I am here to show the new and improved version of my track. I really analyzed the feedback and applied it to the track. I emphasized more energy towards the second half of the track. I decided that the first part of the track is more of the player searching and discovering. It feels pretty open and honestly I couldn’t quite figure out if it was missing something still or just over thinking. I really thought about the direction the track is heading and I opted in for a more action packed second half to signify a tense more dramatic feel almost as if the player has stumbled around the bosses lair. Again class I am here for help and feedback though I feel my track is about 80% complete. Be honest with me and help me elaborate on new ideas to help finish this first segment. I feel like now that the volume is up some elements are more apparent. Where can I go from this? Should I add more melodies to help fill in some space or add more ambiance or texture? How does the mix sound? Does it help convey the theme and story a bit better? Or does it still feel like our hero is lost astray? https://s.disco.ac/azrkuuubfpbx
