The mix is fine, perhaps boost the bass a bit.

Nice rock tune.

Hell yeah dude. Not only did I get a laugh from the metaverse but there's a lot of nice compositional chops being shown here. It's cool to see your songs manifesting . I love the post-chorus riff with the stops, gives it so much power and emphasis. Also the vocals being used as a pivot point for the transition into the solo at 3:12 is a really nice touch. Great work this week. I think the mix should be a stretch goal personally, I think writing a song you're happy with is important and then if you have time to polish it, cool, if not then you can always polish it up at a later time now that you have a finished song.

Also Matrix references lol. Fun lyrics this week.

Thanks! I wrote this chorus on Friday and by Sunday morning I was really doubting if I could pull it all together. Leaned into the cheese a little bit, and I ended up dairy happy with it!

Sweet geek rock sound with the guitars and synths (in the best way!). Love it!

me, whenever anyone asks for feedback: louder drums!

my only other tip, is to notch out a very small piece of low mid on the vocals.

BUT DANG WOW you are such a good instrument player/singer and your chord choice is *chef's kiss* great lyrics and melody/harmony

downloaded and favorited

Great sum up of the damn metaverse.

Super good instrumentation and sound. Love the drums, I also think they could go a bit louder in the mix but I also don't know what I'm talking about. It was great to listen to.

Dope composition, dope vocals and just right harmonization on the vocals. At first I was like is that just a chorus effect but nope, it's two voices! cool

so good powerpop!!

Thanks for the praise! Means a lot to me. Next week will have louder drums in your honor, and I'll try out the notch you suggest. Much appreciated!

Glad you liked the theme! Even though the lyrics are a little silly, I ended up liking them quite a bit! Thanks for all the kind words.

I was trying to think of the right way to tag this sort of thing, and I think you nailed it! Thanks!

Awesome song man, well tracked and recorded.  The lyrics actually remind me of the song Total Entertainment Forever by Father John Misty.  The mix isn't bad at all, but I think the guitar could come up quite a bit in the chorus.

listening again, this is so freaking good

I love drums so i usually like louder drums or a tight snare, but that's my personal bias. However, more importantly than the drums, it's the arrangement and the melodies, and you got those! I like the lyrics, vocals and especially the harmonies. I especially like the section with the synth like melody and the sudden stop (like 1:36 onward).

Thanks! I love that song you mentioned. It's been getting stuck in my head for the past week. I agree on the chorus guitars. I tried backing them off a little bit to make sure the last chorus was a little more powerful (gradually cranking them through the song), but I think I went a little too far.

!! Thanks !!

I haven't quite figured out how to record drums in the room I've got and make myself happy with them, but I'm gonna keep grinding at it. Thanks for the kind words.

This image has been haunting my dreams.

Damn I missed all your songs since the start of the year but this is solid tasty rock to my ears, plus I love the fact that those are real recorded instruments (I have nothing against the use of samples, or pre-fabricated midi stuff, some are stupid good creating track that way too).

Will follow.

Really cool opening riff! Mix sounds good, might be interesting to try increasing the amount of compression on the master bus to lightly "glue" the mix together.

Late reply, but thanks! I also try to listen to as much of the "meatspace" music on here as I can.

Thanks so much! I've definitely been experimenting with different things, and hopefully improving my mixes since this one. Will give that a shot!
