Goodbye July Hello August
Well - I stepped away from working on sync licensing pitches in July, but I have 3 newer tracks to pitch for August. Just sharing with the group here on Skool, as you all inspire me to keep trying...https://s.disco.ac/ebpizcphhrjl

GREAT to sample your creations! Status Dust is evocative and sonically intriguing. I can hear it in any number of scenes - or a game? Tall Grasses is sooooo cool. Then, I loved the pulsing in the 3rd section! Then you take us somewhere else completely. I am impressed with all of it because my brain can't conceive such borderless ingenuity. 'Carnival' as good or better than first listen - don't know what changes you made. Was there less detuning in this version? Or are you pulling me into your sonic world? :-)
What artists do these songs sound like?
Hey all! Finishing up a five song playlist that I will be sending out this week. Feedback is completely welcome, however, the thing I could really use your help with is figuring out what artists each of these sounds like! I'm finishing the metadata tonight and tomorrow so whatever artists you feel would fit well under the "Sounds Like..." would be very helpful! Thank you!! https://s.disco.ac/wxafcjguqvkz

'Wish I could help. Completely out of my league here. I know no current artist's sound. But, I CAN say that you sound as good as the best artists!
Need Mix Feedback
Gang, please take a few minutes to listen and give feedback on this MIX. It is an unplugged version of one of my old songs. As I'm picking up (many) mixing tips, I am hoping that my mixes are beginning to show improvement or even, dare I say, a bit of polish. I'm happy with the song and the arrangement. What about this mix offends you? What sticks out? What is too bright/dull? I'd love to move beyond tweak stage and master the damn thing. My goal since joining has been to put together at least 20 of my tunes. This is #20. Eventually I WILL have a female singer version. Also, GIVE ME YOUR VOTE: In the instrumental break should I 1.Keep the vibes, 2. record live nylon string/Spanish guitar, 3. Live harmonica (since it's a Stevie Wonder influence) or something else?

@Tim Jeffcoat Thx Tim. You were right about the horns entrance. Fixed it. I previously consistently mixed with too much high end. Of this, I have now been convinced. I am a convert and triple checking each project for signs of recidivism. Mastering. Moving on.

@Glenn Macrae In the future, I'll be checking my instinct for too much high end in my mixes. I'll continue to 'practice' comparing against my reference tracks - but successfully achieving that expertise is MANY mixes away. I'll also worry a bit less about "standard" EQ settings (per instrument) and trust my ear more for the cohesion within the larger mix.

Glad you found that Glenn. Informative, yes. But seeing real, normal, people at the decision-making end of this rainbow makes this seem possible.

@Jennifer Crowe The recorded version is at the same link. I watched last night.
Singer/songwriter playlist
Hey guys, I thought I would share the 1st track of a project that I will be working on in a couple of weeks time. It will be my first attempt at singer/songwriter songs for sync licensing. What are your thoughts on this song in terms of sync licensing. Any feedback is appreciated….. https://s.disco.ac/uqwghhyytflj Many thanks

Stellar production David- as always! At times the vocals work like instruments which is really cool. At other (several) times I'd like them to be more out front. On first listen I could not quite understand all the lyrics. But that could just be levels or the fact that it was first listen. Thx for sharing! Also is it singer/songwriter? What do we call this niche?
