None Is Real 2021

Post by spamatica »

Hello good folks of this forum.

For some reason I found myself wanting to re-record a song I made around 15 years ago, which I've played live many times before.
I suppose it was partly therapeutic, recording is good.

It came out pretty OK, a very upbeat dystopian nightmare :D

As always, recorded with MusE and open source plugins except for Addictive Drums 2 which I have yet to replace.

I hope you enjoy!

And as always it pains me that I am so intermittent, and listen so little to others songs, so I'm gonna go do that for a bit now ;)

Very very good! Liked the vocals a lot :D

It gives me some strong space western vibes, really cool! I just finished playing "Outer Worlds" on my PS4, and this track would have fit perfectly :D

Hmm, got the wrong track somehow... anyway I quite liked this.

I like it! Everything fits perfectly. From the title, the cover, the music and the singing. :D

in mix, nobody can hear your screen

Thanks guys!

Ah, Space Western, a genre I didn't know I needed :D
Yeah, I think I can see it fitting. (Been playing that game too but haven't finished it.)

And thanks for the compliments on the singing, especially!

As I like to critique songs when I think it serves a purpose, I'll comment on my own song here. Listening again I think I have a little bit too much bass, both frequencies and instrument. It gets a little muddy in the low end. Especially since I master it pretty hard.

Great song, with a great "live feel" to it! And the singing is very nice too! The break/bridge in the middle is a fav part! :)

Hi!

Great tune and catchy chorus! Has a perfect bar room tempo and groove to whip the patrons into a frenzy, would be great to see it performed live I think! Remember when musicians used to play live in front of people in the same room...? Those were good times!

This mix is a bit more cluttered than some of your other stuff, it's a good mix, I'd like a bit less snare and more clarity in the kick and bass guitar but maybe it doesn't matter in a nihilistic sense... none of it is real anyway.. :D
