So I use Tunecore to upload my music to iTunes, Spotify, etc.  I’ve been releasing singles for $10 a year.  Tunecore LOVES to upsell you whenever possible and its a fucking ripoff.  

Let’s say in January I release “Antithesis” by Nova Eyes.  In April Tidal launches.  Tunecore now wants to charge me extra to add it to Tidal.  It won’t do it automatically.  It’s about $1.98 per song, per store.  

Here's an e-mail between the producer and I on about a track he's mixing:  (This song has tons of piano on it, and tons of vocal groupings) 

Gabe: "Was this the tune that you mentioned having less solid double kick?  Because, yeah.  I have an idea I think will be very cool for the verses and one other section.  :)"

Yes, this is the tune that has too much double kick.  My favorite drum part is the section at 2:56-3:12.  

The octave build up at 1:45-2:00 and later in the song lose impact because of the constant kick drum beat.  The first half of that riff is straight through, then the 2nd guitar harmonizes - maybe we should just make that part double time and the part before regular?

While I like the new piano part it doesn't fit the vibe of the song - but I like how you have in the background during the 2nd verse 1:12-1:28.  So lets ditch it for the intro and leave it during that 2nd verse?  

The song is sounding better and better.  That woah-oh woah-oh-ohoho-hoh singing part seems funky now (I feel like it fit better in the earlier mixes, not sure what changed).  I know the song isn't mixed fully, but I'll just give you my impressions.  :)

1:04 -1:12section - lets go back to the original piano.  1:12-1:28 leave the new piano part (I think it'll build it really well).

2:17-2:34  the vocals are really low in the mix. I know its not done.  Just saying.  ;)

That choppy scream at 2:50 should be loud - I love it.  The delay sounds great too, not sure if that's new or not but it works killer.

I love that doubler you added at the build up part at 2:57 (the part I was messing up last time I went in).

3:28-end of song - I changed the melody at the end - should we just make it the same as the previous chorii?
