Appreciate feedback :)

Answer 1

not bad, just try to make your vocals a little bit louder cause its kind of hard to hear over the instruments, but otherwise it was good

Answer 2

The structure is actually quite well done. I'm sure this was quite a lot of work and I think you definitely have something here, but I do have some suggestions.

1. the vocal timing was off quite a bit. If it were me, I might try recording the vocals a few more times and just get the timing squared away.

2. The idea and structure of the song is good. I would suggest looking into chord progression flow. In this song there doesn't seem to be much of a flow through the chords. It sounds good, but it ends up just being repetitive riffs rather than a real chord progression if you don't put some real thought into it.

3. The tone of all the sounds I thought was very good. I would be careful with the reverb when editing. I tend to put too much on because it covers up a lot of mistakes but putting too much on can make it sound too busy and messy.

Just some suggestions. Really great job. Keep on keepin on.

Answer 3

Thank you all! You guys are the best! I will take all that information in consideration for future projects.

Answer 4

Actually, I was being quite the stupid person when I used a thick pick on guitar strings. I had a like a bright 80s new wave type strumming pattern with guitar but the strings broke. So I just finished the song with a more dark Gothic tone. A lot of 80s gothic music doesn't really have a lot of bright sounds IMO. But then I started recording and it just came out as a bright new wave type sound. But yeah! Thanks once again for all the feedback! :)

Answer 5

It's great! :)
