This is really good - It's got a "radio"/commercial quality to the writing (that seems to be an insult these days but actually it's quite hard to do right). Is that an AI voice? Reckon it'd sound better with a bit more reverb on it? the snare bothers me fsr....could be that it sounds a bit anemic? I was thinking having them more impactful would fill out those brief pauses....but that's just me, I really don't know shit about this stuff so take with a pinch of salt :)

Hey Frank. That's for the listen and the feedback. I was going for a thin cracking snare on this one so I guess I succeeded. LOL. Most snares are all just so same sounding. I wanted something different. But yeah, maybe a little more reverb might help.

The voices are all AI.

Ok that's fair enough. I'm nit picking really. Do you submit these tracks to production libraries and the like or is it just a hobby? Would be good to hear more rock stuff. Also wanted to ask what tool(s) you use for the AI vocals.

By the way, if you have time I have a new track up incase you haven't seen it. could possibly do with some pointers. :?

Believe me, this is more than just a hobby. I have 6 songs released by Music For World Peace records and I've had 4 albums of my material recorded by a semi popular group out of Miami. They distribute their music in Europe and Asia. I just received a royalty check from them a few days ago.

The AI vocals are created by this site.

I'll go check out your new track ASAP.

Something a little different from me.
The last part with horns is very cool together with the distorted wah-like guitar. Could be longer, but I know nowadays instrumental solo parts are not that long any more, really very cool.
Where are the horns from?

This is my fav track of yours, very creative drum & percussion, sometimes you added more voices to lead voice and horns are good for your style, whenever you use horns it is cool.
And bass is one of my fav instruments, the bass very good, as well.
What is your horn machine?

Frank1985 from this forum said this track actually sounded professional. I think that was the term he used. You can look up his comment to check.

There is a secret to why this track sounds so good. I'm not going to divulge it but I'll give you a hint. I heavily relied on my influences growing up.

The horns are also Broadway Gig.

I also sometimes use Warp IV which is excellent.

This is really your master piece, wow, listen to it for the forth time. The way the bass and horns play together, really soooo good. These horns are awesome, also your vocals perfect on this track.

Horns are your friends, Wagtunes, use horn as much as you can!
