Thank you so much for this detailed feedback ! I'm gonna work on this right awayKolstad wrote:I like the treatment, but I think you are right that it is too busy as is.
I like the uke and the acoustic gtr, the claps and the vocals.
The strings sounded a bit midi, imo (If you add more ambiance to some other elements, you don't need them)
The background vocals sounded a bit mechanic, imo
I think you can make the arrangement simpler and more effective. It did sound crowded, and not very dynamic.
Maybe use a reference for your arrangement and mix, like a song or two from The Lumineers and/or Mumford and Sons. That would place this version in "indie folk".
I also think it can build more, if you subtract some of the elements in the beginning.
The claps sounds like they really can make the choruses effective, so take them out in the verses.
The uke and the acoustic gtr sounds like it fights the vocal frequencies (the vocal "drowns"), so maybe use one at a time, and bring it down relative to the vocal(s)
Also remember dynamics when you arrange the "build", you can build in more than one act when it is a full song. like intro-verse-1stchorus and then start again verse-2ndchorus, then bridge, then the end. That is 4 possible "builds", maybe just 2 or 3, if you want to build up until 2ndchorus, the bridge, and out, or bridge-3rdchorus-out (2 builds). By separating the builds, the song might breathe more.
You have everything here (solid idea, good performances, nice sounds), but thin it out, separate the builds, and focus on effective introductions of the elements, imo.
All three are "TAXI All-Stars" in my book: Matt Vander Boegh; Marcus "CaiNo" Cohen, and Paul Croteau.PhilRey wrote: Peter: who are Marcus, Matt VB and/or Paulie Croteau ? Who are these people !?![]()
