I dig the melody, lyrics, and the vibe of the music. Cool song.

Constructive roasticism: lots of production elements all smushed together in the low mids. Needs more separation there.

Vocal production is improving! Audible now! Nice job!

Smooth chords, melodies and beat. I like the electric guitar.

Solid prophisee track! Nice laid back main beat, tho a little bit oldschool newage, a bit cheezy for my taste. nice guitar solo.

not sure what to say about the bass tone, I think the issue might be that the instruments are going a bit on top of each other and are not so tight, but kinda splat together. maybe consider how you want it to sound in the general sense, like bringing up some highs, giving some more / different color in terms of the sound design.... idk. lots to experiment, but overall doesn't sound bad, it's just a matter of taste and choosing where you wanna go.

Nice underwater swirly thing going on here. I had to listen a second time as I was mesmerized by that and didn’t register any of the lyrics going by. Is that a single effect or a lot of things? Sounds like a bunch of independent wahs and phasers going off on a pad.

Re swirly sound:

1:14 timestamp on the swirly. Now that I listen some more, I think there’s distinct instruments going off in there in addition to the core sound, like a pad sound playing a swirly melody.

I won't be roasting anything that includes sensible vocals. That stuff is elusive to me. I'm a bit jelly TBH.

Besides that, it's a short but complete track. No notes, if I'd heard this in a bar I wouldn't think twice about it. Of course it fits a setting where many people are listening. It's just good music.

great track! so smooth and a great listen, congrats! favorited

Thanks! Yeah I used the free Fresh Air plugin from Slate on this one for the first time. Seems to liven the 7b nicely

Thanks! Yeah the octaver effect lent for a surprisingly cool vibe on this one. I might reach for that more often now.

Thanks! Great feedback

OK so what you are referring to is the live kalimba. It comes in early but I slowly roll in the highs and you noticed it later

Chain is:

- EQ high high and low cuts
- saturation + transient reduction from ableton drum buss
- Squashed with UAD 1176 and LA-3A
- UAD Brigade Chorus
- Subtle Slate Fresh Air
- 3/16 delay
- Auto filter with a little drive (MS2 circuit in Ableton)
- UAD Hitsville verb + Waves Metaflanger (Forget the preset) in parallel via returns

Of all of those, I’d attribute the squashing, chorus, flanger, and verb to the overall swirlyness

Thanks!!! Yeah I was inspired by @blighers_rock above to do some lyrics after I saw he made it work for 52 songs straight two years ago. Doubted I would have the same success but so far lyrics have come out every week. I found it helpful to start by just hitting record and saying whatever comes out, then building on that. Vs sitting down and trying to architect everything in a notepad.

Thanks!!!
