El Diablo Songwriter

I should have worked on one... lol..

No offense... I think NO EP... cause I was creating songs at 3-5 minutes... then switched to 60 second songs and got triple the views! (Edit: People's mind spans aren't like they used to be... they can't handle but so much now-a-days)

I'm guessing the other 2.7 billion is in prison?

Look for #originalsong artists on YouTube that plays only a guitar and sings...(There's like hundreds of thousands of them) then ask them if you can remix their song. Post your remix / remaster and the original song links here! You'll show the original song from YouTube and your remixed version from YouTube... I recommend that you don't use the same video they used, even with permission. I plan to just use a blank screen with credits on them, including how to locate the original song and artist. I understand this could take a couple of weeks or so, because you've gotta wait for a response from them, if it's okay or not, then you've gotta do the remix / remaster... I'm putting in my requests today... I've done something similar before and it's pretty fun. The main challenge will be splitting their vocal from the guitar (I use Remix from Acon Digital, but IZotope has RX Music Rebalance (which I found isn't as good as Acon Digital). There's a few other software that can do it, but those two are the best as far as my knowledge goes. I then use Melodyne from Celemony to enhance the vocals (de-essing) (putting the singer on key) without making them sound like robots. I also use Melodyne to create a Tempo Map of the song, import the tempo map into Reaper, then I can add bass guitar, piano, and drums (depending on song genre). Cakewalk by Bandlab can create Tempo Maps of tracks, if you drag the track UP until it turns blue, then drop it. On finalization, I use IZotope Ozone 10 Standard & Sonible Smart Limit & Waves SSL G-Buss Compressor (Glues the music together) If you don't mind sharing your secrets to creating a remix / remaster, let us know how you did it

I didn't realize I was in the introduction area of the form and not the area where people actually ask for it to be reviewed. Sorry.

YouTube, being a video based place kinda wants a video instead of just music... So, I use Vizzy.io most of the time. I've tried A.I., but that's really expensive and very time consuming! I thought about using Cartoon Animator 5 I bought last year to make my next one, but I'll probably just end up using Vizzy.io instead, because it's quick and easy to use.

A "Song Critique" involves analyzing and providing feedback on a musical composition, considering elements like lyrics, melody, harmony, rhythm, and overall production. It aims to offer constructive insights to help improve the song's quality or identify its strengths and weaknesses.

Do you really think y'all have a spam problem on this website? Cause, I currently don't see that issue.

I have to go incognito in order to see which forums or topics that can be seen by members only. Is there a 🔒or 🔐or something that can give me a visual of I'm in that kind of members only area? P.S. tried to update quickly, but "New posts within a short time frame are limited. Please wait 14 seconds before submitting."

I listened and commented, thumbs up, on your song. I'm not much of a person that enjoys vibrato in a voice and I particularly do not enjoy slow songs. You have a good voice that is on key, but the songs reach out to those with tastes that I can not fathom. I enjoy songs of the Rock, Pop, Western (not country), and Alternative Rock genres. I may explore other genres. Classical genres and Opera isn't my cup of tea. Overall, you sing very well and I did enjoy that much.

Thank you! It works!

https://www.masteringthemix.com I've bought this combination in picture below... When you buy 3 or more it stacks discounts. I highly recommend FUSER, RESO, and Expose being thier best plugins. Tom's default cost of these plugins is $60 a pop without sells... I saved $75.45 doing it this way! RESO and FUSER combination beats Soothe 2 hands down. I had both side by side comparison in my Reaper DAW.

What sucks is that there's no way to reply to these pictures, so I guess the best way is to bring it to this discussion area. I'm really thinking that's over doing it.. where I lack in studio equipment, I excel in plugins. LoL 🤣 All I have is a Asus Intel laptop, Roland Midi keyboard (PCR-300) https://www.roland.com/us/products/pcr-300/ , Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, Yamaha HS5s, AT2020 microphone, AT2050 microphone. The PCR-300 was made for Windows XP, 7, and 8. I had a really hard time getting it to run on Windows 10, but I was able to do it. It works perfectly with Cakewalk Sonar DAW, even though I now use Reaper. It's Dnamic mapping button was exclusively created for Cakewalk Sonar, which still works in the free version by Bandlab. But I hardly use that feature, so it's not a big down fall for it. If I ever move to windows 11 (which my computer isn't compatible for), I may have to get myself a new midi keyboard. Intel is the best computer chip for making music on for PC. AMD is better for gaming. Just imagine a picture of my room ..lol... 90 sq.ft. of studio small room :P. Perfect for bass extension that only your neighbors can hear... LoL!

I have a few questions... What kind of genre do you imagine this in? Do you sing? Was this poetry revised as a song?

I bet 80% of your population uses mobile, but it's just a guess.

https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/34-deals/ Let me know Between Songstuff and Cakewalk Deals are the only two forums I currently use frequently. I might not post often on Songstuff, but eventually will. I'm more of a reader?

That's nice of you, but I only expect that nice from karaoke bars where the drunk can't hear good 😂 I actually know my voice isn't up to par with most professionals 🤪

It's probably a anti-spam filter. 😜

Sonible Smart EQ3 and Sonible Smart Limiter are their best plugins!

I'm joking about windows 3.1...🤣 Actually Windows 10 64-bit 32gig of RAM running on 2 TB M.2
