This is one of my newer songs. All the instruments were various VSTi instruments I have, and I'm on vocals. (Synth V2 does background vocals for me this time around). This is technically an alt pop song, but that's not an option. It's too bad you can't select your own custom genre.

Nice!

 

[Craig Anderton]

I like this a lot. It's fun, and has actual songwriting, which is missing from a lot of music these days! Persaonl bias alert: In the future, don't be afraid to do a shallow, braod notch around 300 Hz or so to give a "snappier" high end. You nailed the high end and bass.

Very creative.
Love the melodies and lyrical phrasing.
Oh yeah and Fun too!

 

[Stuart Welwood]

Very cool! A nice combination of song and sound. I tried adding just a little bit of a one or two octave cut at 300 Hz, the way Craig suggested, and it blossomed into luxurious space. Again, very cool. I'm going to play it again - it's on my bingo card!

BTW, my system is biamped, time-aligned, and 1/3 octave equalized to +/- 1 dB from 25 Hz to 16 kHz at the listening position.
