About 3 years ago after 5+ years of spending ~15-20 hours a week trying to get professional at music production I realized I just don't have the skill set/mindset to be a pro producer/mixing engineer (and I think this is the case for the vast majority of those pursuing a career in music, tbh). However, I feel like I have professional level songwriting/arrangement abilities as well as other strengths that lend to being a music artist.
With that said, I have been doing a lot of behind the scenes preparation the past few years and things are starting to finally begin. I just want to be transparent and honest about my songs from here on out. Here is my debut track, which I wrote and worked on with Anske:
___________________
Songwriter/artist and reluctant producer.
I've also got an app called XTRAX STEMS that splits audio into three parts [vocals, music, drums]. But that's never going to be as good as the masters.
I just wanted to make a more modern-sounding mix of that ABC song. Also the original mix lacks reverb.

I like this musically, a nice journey. I think the sound design and engineering could be higher quality, and more epic to match the music that is being played.
Thank you. Merely a wip , nothing more than the idea put down. After all, isn't this what this thread is about? =O)

nice melodies n stuffs caleb, not a fan of the production style but I dig the track overall.
combination of no motivation to make music + trying to improve the only wip I have thats worth improving. Not skilled enough to write a good breakdown, maybe I'll stumble upon something, this one should be cleaner maybe, but its still a bit busy. no has monitors.

This idea is really cool a specially that was develop in 5 min lol - I think would be worth it to spend some extra time on adding additional sounds/melodic ideas to it - also dynamics of this WIP could be improve substantially - just my $0.02
Cheers,

this is my favorite track so far..
I actually like the sound of this but I think to complete it, it needs a different bassline as it kinda spoils the groove for me when it comes in
