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

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?

Between briefs due, vocals getting recut, and backlogs finally getting cleared out, this weekend is about closing loops, not opening new ones. Whatever's sitting at 80-90% done on your hard drive right now, that's the one. Comment with the one thing you're finishing (not starting) this weekend. I'll check back in on this thread on Monday to see who actually did it.

This week I watched an Accelerator member give themselves a full week to write a song instead of one day. They got less done. Rabbit-holed on synth sounds for hours because they had "time." More time doesn't mean more finished. Often, the constraint is the very thing that actually gets you unstuck, not the thing holding you back. What's your natural deadline? Is it a day, a week, a month... and be honest, does giving yourself more time actually help you finish? Or does it just give the second-guessing more room to move in?

Just finished 'First Light' writing against a Taxi brief. It was supposed to be Chill Out. I studied the reference tracks, and respected them with this piece, but it still came out more smooth jazz / light funk. It was great fun to write. Fingers crossed that someone at Taxi will like it, and it still goes in the catalog! Now off to the next project! https://s.disco.ac/zvatqnqgqveq
