Fun vocals for a chorus and rap verse. Excited to finally try out the new Ableton stock auto-tune. Sounds much better than the free M4L Autotuna I'd been using.
Feel free to roast.

Sounding good! Guitar attack is thick!
Thanks! I actually didn't think about the sound as being defined by the attack since its coming from a step sequenced tremolo but you are totally right all the vibes are really coming from the attack on that.
Cool guitar and tremolo beat, also like the drums and bass synth. But does this melody really need autotune? have you tried singing it without? never thought about that aspect of your singing. the rapping bit is cool but can't understand anything haha. maybe you need to try to sing louder in general? you got a voice! use it! I guess if this was a song speicifcally to try the autotune then what I'm saying is pretty tone-deaf (see what I did there) but anyway the comments stand in general for your music. cheers!
These are some tasty sounds. The guitar is smooth, and the organ even smoother.

dat guitar! nice rap and vocals though I think they could have been mixed a little louder. Organ at the end was a nice touch to finish it off!
That guitar sound is my kind of vibe. The vocals and the rest have this feel of calm confidence. I like it!
Nitpick: the lyrics are kind of hard to make out with the other tones somewhat fighting for the same frequencies. Easiest thing you can do in Ableton Live to circumvent that:
- EQ out vocals below 100Hz;
- make a group with the guitar, keys, and the bass;
- in the group header track set up a multiband compressor sidechained to the vocals.
That way when vocals come in, the other instruments will duck in the frequencies that are most noticeable in the singing.
such a nice vibe! really dig the guitar and organ sounds you got here. catchy laid back vocal hook too!

They are already sidechained almost that exact way with the lows rolled I think I just need to turn them up 😂 what's the benefit of multiband though? I have this elaborate setup with compressors mapping to things everywhere but I was thinking about swapping them with envelope followers mapped to utility gains actually

Ah I see so you're saying even in its default config multiband compression will just duck the strongest frequencies. I'll try that this week 🤔 do you also do that for drums?
