This is sounding great @shimmerisland – super lush with lots of dimension and clarity. Great work getting this beast to the finish line! Love the beat switchup in the bridge, as well as the drop chorus and beat switchup stuff leading into the ending. Fav sounding Shimmer Island track to date

updated mix, applying most of the notes y’all recommended. Thanks for your insight and enthusiasm. Means the world!
-
thanks for taking a listen @joerobinson ! Excited to hear your 5/4 piece. And yes, let’s definitely stay in touch! Would be a blast to work with you 🙂
-
thanks @dana !! DISCO’s “artist page” playlist share for the win on the aesthetic! Appreciate your kind words 🙂 Going to be releasing “Happy” in the new year with a bigger collection of original stuff.

Great to connect with you to @joerobinson ! If you’re ever looking for some cinematic orchestral additions to your work, I’d love to chat! Linked some of the (mostly) orchestral stuff I’ve been doing this past year or so.
Also @dana if I’m making a faux pas by sharing stuff in this format, lemme know! Want to respect the boundaries of the community 🙂

Love this @dana – going to be a point of reference for me moving forward (as your responses to that initial post already are).
Also – how cool to see @JoeRobinson here in the Mix Protege community. Been a fan of yours for many years!

Thank you @dana !
All the love

Roy! Thank you for the feedback my friend. I’ve tamed the wow synth and the ending piano a tad, and adjusted a few other things (vocals, dynamics between sections) a bit. Appreciate you taking the time to listen 🙂

Dana! Thank you so much for your kind words. Half of the joy I get from completing music these days comes with getting to share it with this wonderful community you’ve gathered here. So grateful for the words of encouragement.
2:34 dropout idea is great!
I definitely agree that the wow synth is a bit forward. I’m gonna soften it a bit
Great call on the breath suggestion too. I toyed with removing them, but that didn’t feel right as I wanted the “choir about to start” vibe to hit strong. But you are on the money with the clip gain suggestion.
And I agree piano on outro is loud. It’s a super low quality living room recording with people talking outside and stuff, but something about it felt like a keeper. Will toy around with softening the mechanism vibeThank you so much for the kind words and suggestions. Honored ❤

Jesse! Thank you my friend. You humble me!
I very much appreciate that constructive feedback. I definitely went back and forth on the beat on the verses…I ended up sticking with it this way cause it just made the fall into the choruses that much more of a landing pad, but you make a really good observation.
And I hear you about the chime guitar at the end. I think there are still a few panning related things I’m going to adjust on the choruses that should provide a more balanced overall image, Thanks for pointing that out specifically though, as my ears had grown so accustomed to it that I didn’t even notice they were panned left haha.
Again man, so grateful for your kind words and suggestions. Honored 🙂 -
Damn you nailed it bro. My favorite part is when the Zucker-worm is singing “Bigger man”

Thanks Charissa!!! I’d LOVE to collaborate on something. This choir is actually from an iphone recording of a school in South Africa singing in a courtyard. I pulled a couple clips from different parts of that recording and built a new choir from it. But maybe next time there will be a budget for a custom choir!
