i won't say its HORRIBLE, the chords are catchy. none of the melodies are premade, i did everything myself, including writing the chords. i like to write my own chords because it feels more authentic to me :) HOWEVER, that doesn't mean its without issues. the beat is kinda mid :/ its boring. way way too boring. i want something upbeat and catchy that some upbeat, high energy artist like jung kook or five seconds of summer could unleash his vocals on and blast on the stage, which gets everyone going. i think it has potential to become a crowd banger. BUT i want to figure out how to get there. the beat is semi-mixed, i just did some basic gain staging and eq-ing to get everything to stand out. it's all kind of boring and not high-energy the way i want it to be. usually to add to the music and make it LESS boring, i add some counter-synths to add to the main mix, but i've had a habit of just copying the basic chords down and using that, which just makes the mix feel muddier. so my main questions. how do i make this sound BETTER? more exciting, get it to its potential? and how can i mix this better to get it to hit way harder and clearer? worst of all, does it have potential? or am i just delusional? i'm a completely new producer btw, i barely have any experience. maybe like a month's worth. i've been using FL for a few years, but majority of those years were just messing around, trying to learn it. NOW i've gotten serious about music

If you want to share a link to a new release or anything else music related, please post it in this thread. Thanks!

I want to know how this artist creates a melodic, child-like voice effect in his intro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2rbuXXpqRI&ab_channel=DEVEL

Hey everyone, I'm super excited (and a little nervous) to share that I finally released a couple of my tracks on YouTube! For a long time, I held back—either being lazy or scared of how people might judge my music. At one point, I even stopped working on music completely. But now… I’ve decided I’m not stopping at all. I made a promise to myself: no matter how rough the mix sounds, how off my flow might be, or how imperfect the track is—I will release it. Perfection was holding me back, so I chose progress instead. This shift in mindset is changing my life in a really positive way. The songs I’ve released are far from perfect. I can already hear areas I want to improve but I’m committed to learning, growing, and dropping new music consistently from here on. Check out my channel and give the tracks a listen!

Hello family. I just got done building my new monster machine. It's an AMD Ryzen9 5950X CPU, Asus X570-E gaming WiFi motherboard, 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz RAM, 2 1TB NVME Samsung 990 Evo SSD's, XFX RX 580 8GB GPU and Thermalright 750 watt power supply. It's running Windows 11 Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Reaper DAW. It's all mounted in a 4U rack mount chassis. So far I have about $1000 in this system in all. What are your thoughts on this system. What would you do differently and why?
