I like it! Very chill, nice downtempo beats, and the mixing sounds great with the lower pitched vocals and higher pitched melodies.

Awesome! I hope making music brings you joy. What type of music are you hoping to create?

Back in September 2025, I set myself a goal to produce 100 songs before I release anything publicly. Yesterday, I finished #35, so I am making good progress, and the songs are definitely getting better. The first few were really horrible, and the latest few I would call "good but not great". My goal for 2026 is to finish those 100 songs in order to produce something that I like and start getting feedback from others.

@Shannon Ryan I know exactly what you mean about recording live instruments! I, too, have too many stringed and otherwise non-electric instruments that I would love to capture accurately. Even my acoustic Concert Ukulele sounds much better in-person than any of the recordings I have attempted. I have heard that a combination of a ribbon mic and a clip-on pickup can work well, and my favorite Harpist actually uses a pair of Condenser Mics mounted on a stand (Harpist KT: https://youtu.be/fDVejsCbSPw?si=g0xjRzhU3WZcMgUT). Good luck to both of us in our recording endeavors, and I hope you can get more comfortable with your DAW!

Like others said, this is a great bass pattern you came up with, and it sounds very clean. Great work!

This sounds wonderful. Like Martin pointed out, the mixing is great, all the sounds are crisp. The structure flowed nicely, I like the short bridge (Or maybe it isn’t called a bridge for R&B?) around 1:30. My only minor critique in the interest of providing feedback (and this is very much personal preference, so feel free to ignore): the claps felt a bit too frequent and in the vocal range, so if you were to add a Chris Brown style vocalist, the claps might get in the way. But I am sure you’d notice and remix a bit to decrease them with an EQ. But in the absence of a vocalist, the higher pitched claps fill a gap in the frequency spectrum, so it totally works! Overall, this is great, thanks for sharing!
