https://www.songu.com/playlist.aspx?v=2636&song=104270 All I need is reviews. I do have a created song from my DAW but didnt want to promote the song. So if some one wants to hear it can send them a link.

Hi everyone, before going any further, do you set aside some time to develop your own vision for your next projects and like... maybe some kind of mission statement? Mindset? Do you mind sharing yours? Here's my worksheet to develop mine.... Vision as the destination. Where am I going? Why does it matter? Mission as the actionable plan (specific, measurable, time bound). What am I doing to get there? Mindset as the fuel for actions. What I am thinking while I do it? Vision is the mountain peak I’m climbing toward. Mission is the path mapped to get there. Mindset is the voice in my head when the climb gets steep. Without vision, I’ll easily lose motivation because I forget why I'm even doing the work. Without mission, I’ll feel overwhelmed and not know what to do next in my DAW. Without mindset, perfectionism or self-doubt will stall me, no matter how clear my plan is.

Does anyone else go freakin nuts for free plugins? I mean who doesn't like free? The other day Reaper is going WTF Bro! Looking for a bit of direction I went into ChatGpt and he said... where the hell did you get those? LMAO! WHO ELSE?

What's your biggest win from this month, no matter how big or small? Celebrate your progress and inspire someone else to keep going.

I’m working on a vocal in Reaper that sounds good, but maybe a little too clean/polished. I’m trying to bring out more rawness, grit, and human feel without making it distorted or messy. Right now I’m testing a chain with Melodyne kept loose, Scheps Omni Channel 2 for shaping, Abbey Road Saturator very lightly for bite, Sibilance for sharp S sounds, and Vocal Rider to keep it sitting upfront. Abbey Road Saturator with a low mix on a vocal bite-style preset made the biggest difference so far. Curious what you all would try for a vocal that needs to feel more real, close, and emotional instead of overly polished?
