Have you read ONE positive thing anyone has said to you on this thread? Seriously, what the hell. I'm normally not confrontational at all but come on, there are things that have been said to you that are so damn helpful that you will never even understand it until you are comfortable making music. Take advantage of the advice, not offense. Nobody even made any digs at you until you threw up the defensiveness front. Just like, read what's being said to you? I don't know. You're not going to find a community that's any different haha, it's just a matter of how to effectively join a community online. If you act like a noob, you're seen as a noob. I have had my share of noob conflicts on this forum: it's actually my fault that the administration made the rule about descriptive thread titles...haha. It took me a while to gain the respect I wanted in this community, not because it's anti noob, but because it's full of adult people with real life experience. You don't just get respect, you earn it with good music skills, offering help in the community, and being a good, reasonable person. I have made all the noob mistakes, like posting my first songs for criticism and expecting to be great, releasing an ep that I thought sounded good after spending about 3 weeks writing (it's only meh, and only for sentimental reasons now).

I can only encourage you not to leave or give up, but honestly, making music takes so much dedication and work. I've been lucky to have been born around music, and to have my father as a genius composer. I've studied trumpet for 10 years now, and I still bbarely consider myself good. But don't think about that. Think about it a step at a time, building skills and learning as much as you can whenever you can.

So quit your whining, and act like a man this is real life, on the Internet, with adult people.

Peace.

I haven't listened to the song, but I can tell what it sounds like from my fellow musicians reactions and the first song you posted. You should definitely lower the volume of the vocals and try to make them more clean and fit into themix better. If they're the right volume with minimal effects processing it can sound good. The track is just loud right now, and thats no good unless it's clear what everything is.

Okay so the main reaction is less effects and cleaner vocals?

I definitely recommend you listen to the song it sounds very different to the first song.
