it will sound shit on phone, sounds fine on
speakers/headphones.

i don't know how to record or mix well. i am not able to do
mastering.

i threw it together pretty quickly with an mpc and a few
synths.

i don't need feedback on arrangement/composition, but how it
actually *sounds* i.e. quality, levels, frequency ranges,
volumes, etc. because that is what i currently suck at and
need to focus on.

If it sounds like shit on my phone which it doesn’t, I’d
like to hear it on some real speakers

Don’t be so hard on…..
Yourself dude.

It sounds good and I’m going to listen to others if
that’s okay? I’d buy a cd 💿 or a rekerd, If those are
affordable

My shit phone speakers are just fine

First, I think its mad pretentious to only ask for a
specific type of feedback, as if your composition is so
sacrosanct that you aren't able to use feedback to improve.
I dunno, if you post a track just put it out there and take
the feedback or dont post it. Its annoying enough to click
an amateur spam but its downright unappetizing when you add
those sort of qualifiers.

The track is decent, though it wears out its welcome by the
end, because the fundamental melody isn't particularly
interesting and youve shown it too many times without enough
variation. When it locks in it sounds pretty good. I would
just literally turn down the sharp lead a bit. Its loud in
the mix (stock car stereo listen). I like the pads at 1:20.

I think my posts was clear! But what I'll clarify a bit is
"its annoying to click an amateur spam."

That wasn't specific to hev. It applies to anyone who is
didn't specifically seek out. I paused a listen of autechre-
plus to listen to this track 3 times. Because I wanted to
reward his effort in making music, really no other reason.
So if ima do that, I want carte blanche on my feedback, full
stop.

Triple smiles warm the heart but give this dude some real
feedback! Reach down into your soul and tell him what can be
better in his music!

the arrangement/composition was done in about 5 minutes and
was secondary to the overall goal of *recording* a track,
hence my reason for not being particularly interested in
feedback over something that i spent very little time &
energy on; i already know it is lacking in that department.

trying to get the damn mix to sound right was what took up
all my time and it's still scaring me away from committing
my more developed ideas i have sitting around. i essentially
have these shit tracks/disposable tracks to get out of the
way first, where i kind of use each as something to teach
myself one thing i can apply to the next.

the lead & bass were the 2 things i was wondering about the
most, because the lead never sounded consistent across my
monitors, headphones, or in the car, so i didn't know how to
handle it. the bass definitely sounds like shit on phone
(too deep), but wasn't sure if it sounded
wide/muddy/overbearing compared to everything else. mixing &
eq'ing on an analog board is so difficult.

Budget Analord crossed with Guantanamo enhanced

25 years ago.

Why, if you were worried about receiving feedback about
sound "quality", would you post as an example something so
juvenile and execrable as to not warrant any meaningful
engagement?

quitted halfway through but i like the use of modwheel, but
5 minutes of that maybe too much
energy in the analog sound i agree, bit less on
arrangement/composition

basic human nature/human psychology: i've been called
arrogant & pretentious by 2 people in this thread and i'm
expected to remain civil & respectful towards them,
correct?

a) "yes"

b) "no"

c) deflect/non answer (which is another way of saying "yes")

B. You dont to be civil holmes, im a hardened internet
veteran. Do your worst! And I dont even think you're
pretentious holistically like you meant. You just asked for
a favor in a particularly inept way a single time. Keep
making music.

we're good, wolf. i can tell the content of your character
from your post: most won't stand on what they said and even
more people these days expect the other to sit there and
take it. sometimes i have to separate out the wheat from the
chaff with some of my own pushback.

One thing I believe 100%: everyone who does anything
worthwhile arrived there thru practice, consistent, focused
work. Were talking RDJ, autechre, and micheal jordan. Never
natural talent, that only takes you so far and blocks
helpful critique. All I'm advocating pure and simple is keep
banging out tunes. Practice makes perfect. And ill peep the
work if I'm around.

That's too long of a read for me today. I'm saving my juice
to read mb 100 pages of Stephen King's Holly later tonight.
Getting caught up with his work, I've read all the Holly
books-- the Mr. Mercedes trilogy, the Outsider, If it Bleeds
(which contains the *fantastic* novella Rat). Holly, the
novel, not the character, is unfortunately the worst of the
lot. Repetitive and preachy. But im invested in the
character now.

Im sure his glorious leader wrote a decent treatise there,
between burning down museums. The most interesting part of
natural talent vs practiced ability is how much a bit of
natural talent blocks you when you hit a wall. You're either
good or you aren't with a natural talent mindset, where the
mediocre pleb keeps putting in work and getting better.
