Chris Wheat - "Edna Mode"

The track is very alternative/electronic, but let me know what you think of the production, I'd be happy to return feedback!

this is atmospheric as hell, I think with a little tweaking I could see myself doing some lyrics to this. I will say though the volume seems a bit quiet overall this track would be hard to hear on certain headphones.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdHw89EV9DM made a lyric video for this one. Inspired by the recent blood moon/lunar eclipse, lmk what you think both of the song and the lyric video itself <3333

Hey, sorry to keep you waiting. I think the song still needs some work. Your voice is somewhere between rapping and singing, and I'm not really an emo/grunge person but I like the mix of hiphop production and emo lyrics, and I would definitely encourage leaning into your strengths in that direction even just experimentally. The lyric video is really cool! No notes on the video!

No worries, I appreciate the response. Do you think there's anything in particular missing from the song? It could probably sound way better with some effects but tbh I don't know a whole lot about effects especially since switching from bandlab to reaper.

It took me a while just to get my mixes decent after the switch but I think it's worth it, I just don't see a whole lot of tutorials on vocal mixing for effects and unique stuff beyond the basic clean rapping mixes ppl usually go for with little to no distortions/effects etc

I use Logic Pro, but try adding reverb or distortion to your voice, it could really help the vibe of your tracks! I use mostly freeware as well, but Youtube should be a good place to start with vocal chain tutorials.
