info_outline#556 MONSTER MUSIC MONDAY
- The episode focuses on reviewing and providing feedback on music submissions from listeners.
- Submissions are accepted via the Mike Herrera Podcast Facebook group, where artists can share their YouTube links.
- Critiques various aspects of the submitted songs, including production quality, vocal performance, and song structure.
- Offers constructive criticism and praise, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement in each submission.
Some Advice and Tactics:
Avoid Excessive Auto-Tune
- Use auto-tune sparingly and only as an effect. Overuse can detract from the authenticity of the vocal performance, especially in genres like punk rock.
Simplify Intros
- Keep the intro of your song short and engaging. Long intros or unnecessary samples can cause listeners to lose interest before the main part of the song begins.
Focus on Production Quality
- Invest time and resources into ensuring high-quality production. Good production can significantly enhance the listening experience and make your music more appealing to a wider audience. Duh!
