REMEMBER - This is subjective. Therefore no opinion is wrong though asshattery is. Please make criticisms in a constructive fashion.

While music/composition is important, this subreddit is primarily focused on the evaluation of audio work; editing, mixing, mastering, and any other facet of sculpting great sound. Let's hear what you've got and then talk about it.

[Vocal Levels/Panning, Mastering Volume] Metanoia

I’m incredibly excited to share with you my brand new release, Metanoia. It’s an indie folk track that blends soft, emotional vocals with storytelling vibes that will take you on a nostalgic journey.

✨ What to expect:

  • Indie folk/singer-songwriter vibes
  • Emotive, reflective lyrics
  • People say it feels like it belongs in a movie soundtrack during a heart-wrenching scene
  • Mixed and mastered by me 👐

If you’re into songs that make you feel deeply or you like those emotional moments in movies where the music just gets you, give Metanoia a listen. Every stream counts, and I would love to know what you think. This is a really personal project for me.

Feel free to check it out on your favorite platform:

🎧 Listen here:

Spotify

Apple Music

YouTube

SoundCloud

Lyrics excerpt: I was a boy Fragile in a crimson creek So unaware Tickled by your tepid teeth Your eyes were a fire Oh, I’d be a liar If I said I didn’t love the burn…

(Full lyrics available via the song links)

Thanks so much for checking it out. If you vibe with it, feel free to share it around. I’m also thinking about reaching out on Instagram, so if you want to connect, drop your handle or DM me!

Appreciate all the support! 🙏

TL;DR: New indie folk song Metanoia out now! Check it out and let me know what you think! 🎶
