I received a commission two weeks ago from MonnieBiloney, who is making an anime opening for promoting a book named "The War On Magic", a cozy fantasy novel written by her older sister, M. S. Remington. The result was this song. Mastering was a pain, but here we are.

This was overall fun to make. I hope you'll like it as much as I do.

Edit 2: I changed the mixing. I hope it is better.

Lyrics:


Before I met you in this world,

I wouldn't listen to a word they said

I turned a blind eye instead

But here I am, magic is real,

A world of fantasy,

Yet there's a war around me...


"Should I trust my destiny?"

I'm moving on from the past me

I'm gonna take a leap of faith 'cause I...


Fought my fears away,

I will find my way!

I'll follow my inner light

When I don't know what is right!

Leave your doubts away,

I am here to stay!

I will be a splendid flower,

Blooming rose into the summer breeze

In myself, I'll believe

The reverb feels a bit dry, it is more of a taste thing, than an objective problem. I think there might be clashing reverb spaces though? Do you separate reverb mixer effects in each sample track, or do you link them all to one mixer track?

If it isn't the reverb, then it might be an E/Q problem. I don't have perfectly linear headphones, so tough for me to tell 100%. Old ones broke and I am super poor atm.

I think that the vocals are clipping dB wise. Could be due to compression or a Limiter with its Gain or Ceiling effect slammed up way too high lol.

Anyhow, I love the drums, e-guitar, the vocal work (wow synth?? Things have really improved...good ole AI).

Production side, there is a bit more to improve upon. Don't think it'll be a huge amount of work for you to improve on. I'm a bad teacher though (plus my own E/Q work is kinda mid). There should be a ton of YT tutorials...also I think you're using FL Studio, judging from your other works that I took a peak at. Could be wrong. Anyhow, if so, FL Studio has a bajillion tutorial videos on E/Q, reverb, using a BUS to link mixer effects, and also on Modulation. [EDIT: oh your instruments section says FL as the DAW...d'oh!]

Keep improving, and you'll get there.

Also on one piece of advise for reverb, I like to exclude kick drums and bass samples from my reverb mixer effect, reduces the mud. Unless it is for like a cavern or cathedral* reverb space effect (or 80's style)

TrandafirTeodora responds:

You're spot on about the EQ and the reverb. I'll try looking at Youtube tutorials about FL Studio for the EQ and reverb, plus tutorial for other effects and mastering.
Thanks for you feedback!

Fantastic voice!
Edit: That's a shame. Those things are way too believable these days... oh well, good besides voice too.

TrandafirTeodora responds:

Thanks, but it's not my voice. It's a virtual singer's voice. The voice is from Dreamtonics' Synthesizer V Solaria.
