  1. Bonjour Manfred! Welcome to Songstuff! You mention overdubs. What do you use for recording? Digital/analog? Hardware/software?
  2. Hi Velourrr! Welcome to Songstuff Looking forward to hearing your tunes (seeing your vids?)
  3. Hi Thought I’d touch base and find out the attitude to making videos amongst members. Please vote! Cheers John
  4. Hi Hsin! Welcome to Songstuff! You say you are planning a debut release... what are your release/promo plans?
  5. Hey Esbey What a great version of Riff Raff. Nice to hear an original take on it. If only you had a video! Keep up the good work Cheers John
  6. Hey gang I wanted to ask a few related quick questions. They are NOT Songstuff specific. They’re about artists/songwriters/Producers/Musicians in general, across multiple platforms. This comes from a general impression of attitudes, interest areas, active numbers and expressed ambition/aspiration. There’s a lot more negative views being expressed by musicians online, almost to “What’s the point?” Levels. They largely still make the music but it’s almost treated as a “Meh”. I have seen this across the various features and various platforms. I’ve also noticed, less experienced artists/songwriters/producers/musicians seem willing to get involved. Like burn out, been there done that sort of attitude. So much so that younger musicians beginning to come back to music activity have much fewer experienced heads chipping in help. I see that even on platforms with an older audience, like Facebook. Importantly, have they lost their passion? If you have insight or opinions on these questions, please comment below! Cheers John
  7. I love a good home studio project as much as commercial studio. A project studio can be approached with ingenuity and creativity to transform home space into something both functional and aesthetically appealing. Even multifunctional! Many is the bedroom or corner of a living room that has been transformed by a tech head into an awesome home studio space.
  8. Lyrics I called you "love", just for the last time In whispers, I'm sure you didn't hear What is it worth? Well, you are the smart one With answers, go on and disappear Time took its time And so did miles Love took the blame too far to remain For us to realize That when we were young, our troubles were small things And comfort laid all too close in hand We didn't learn 10 years' worth of virtue Direction ill-treated all the plans I wasn't kind And you were blind Love took the blame too far in the game For us to realize Mahesh is a singer-songwriter from Bangalore, India weaving elements of folk, pop, and indie into heartfelt melodies. Currently signed to the U.S.-based indie label Red Circle 7 Records and endorsed by Astha Guitars, Mahesh has drawn vocal comparisons to John Mayer, Damien Rice, and Thom Yorke.

The EP's lead single "Fading Colours" resonated deeply with fans, amassing over 400,000 streams worldwide. Beyond his own music, Mahesh operates the vocal coaching business "Rewire the Voice" where he shapes emerging vocal talents in the film and independent music world.

  9. Many thanks for that David. Sounding pretty good. I’d be interested You should consider posting individual songs to our showcase request board. There are restrictions/rules but they are few and understandable. One song at a time. Perhaps we can explore ways to help promote your release?
  10. For all it counts, I enjoyed the song. The Beatles have been there all through my life. I don’t give them credit for all their songs have meant to me through the years. It might not be their best song, but still it was an emotional “So long”. I liked the idea of the video, though the execution of some parts could have been better. It was nice that after all these years an unreleased original still makes it out.
  11. Hey Esbey! Welcome to Songstuff Ah the joys of building your own studio. If interested, you could start a blog on Songstuff and share your journey. There are so many aspects that can provide a learning opportunity for others. I love studios. A bit of a studio geek if I am honest! I look forward to hearing some of your songs! Cheers John
  12. Hi as the title suggests, a short clip of the Beach Boys laying down some smooth grooves.., their harmonies are out of this world.
  13. Hi Just a shout out to call for submissions of songs to be considered for the Songstuff UK channel playlists for general play listing and specifically for our use on our Thanksgiving playlists and our Christmas playlist.

  14. Thanks Peggy. Just to highlight that it is on the Independent Music Stage, specifically the Independent Music Stage Channel. Remember: Support the channel by subscribing, but remember to like, comment and share our platlists as well as individual songs. Cheers John
  15. Hi and welcome to Songstuff Jr Dreads An interesting mix of influences! I look forward to hearing your music
  16. A good outlook to have. Can you say what kind of songs do you want to write? Are there any writers that inspire you?
  17. Glad to help. The track is High Hopes, off the Division Bell album: It takes a minute to get into it (hey it’s Pink Floyd, a minute is nothing!)
  18. Hi and welcome to Songstuff Stephanie! Good to meet you! Do you have an aim/purpose for your lyrics?
  19. john

    Hey

    Hi Wes A big welcome to Songstuff! I look forward to hearing some of your songs Do you record at home?
  20. Hi Gang What are the greatest gigs you have been at? Please, just one gig per post, and if you can manage a story of something that happened at the concert, something you witnessed, or experienced. What made the gig stand out? Cheers John
  21. Nice voice. The intro reminds me of Pink Floyd - Division Bell. Other than that it’s a nice arrangement. You could have more build for transitions to create a more dynamic mix, but it has a lot of promise. I;d be interested to see if a more dynamic mix would have resulted in an even better vocal performance. I say that only because, for all the singer has a good voice, I get the feeling they still have more in the tank. I’d like to have seen a performance video or a lyric video at least. The static image adds nothing to a song performance that deserves more. All in all it’s a good job. You’ve just missed a punch or two imo.
