I'm working on my own music alongside you. We're doing this together. I just thought I'd remind everyone that's the case lol... and practice what I preach! So here I am asking for feedback. https://s.disco.ac/qnkhejohjcyw PHANTOM: This is a song that at this point is over 10 years old that I wrote with a guy named Vlad Holiday. It was my first proper co-writing session when I moved to New York and original, which is the first song in the playlist, never landed anywhere, and my skills since then have dramatically improved. The second version I started during covid that's a string remake of the original (still planning to get vocals on it)... but I've never found the right male vocalist to get on it. I'm considering singing it myself, although I'd need atleast a week of warm-ups and concentrated practice to get my singing chops up to snuff for this. Do I tackle it myself? Do I try to find another vocalist? Do I do both versions, the string version and an updated version of the more electronic downtempo vibe? The OG vibe worked great for 2010 but needs to be updated for 2026. Originally, the reference was Mickey Echo, if you all remember him (writer of Stay by Rihanna). Who's the reference for this now? This is one of the songs that I'm digging out of the crates and working on refinishing. Would it be helpful for me to break down my process as I work on finishing this in a video that I would share with you all? Let me know your thoughts. Appreciate you all. So grateful for the community that's building and growing here.

Welcome to The Sync Vault community. This only works if we all show up, so here's how to make this place valuable for everyone (including yourself). HOW TO USE THE CATEGORIES: 📍 START HERE - Read this first, introduce yourself, find your footing 🎵 Feedback & Finishing - Disco links ONLY! Share WIPs, get feedback, post accountability check-ins. 💼 Business & Pitching - PRO setup, metadata, contracts, supervisor outreach, pitch questions 🏆 Wins & Placements - Finished tracks, successful pitches, placements - celebrate here 🛠️ Tools & Resources - DAW tips, plugins, workflows, templates 💬 Off-Topic - Everything else When you post, drop it in the right category. Makes it easier for everyone to find what they need. HOW TO ASK QUESTIONS (Without Wasting Everyone's Time): DON'T ask questions Google can answer in 30 seconds. "What's a PRO?" → Google it."How do I export audio from Logic?" → YouTube it. DO ask specific, sync-related questions with context: ❌ BAD: "How do I get my music in sync?"✅ GOOD: "I've finished 3 tracks and organized my catalog in Disco. Should I pitch directly to supervisors or join a library first? I'm leaning toward libraries because I don't have contacts yet. Thoughts?" The formula: 1. Where you're at right now 2. What you've already tried/considered 3. Your specific question or 2-3 options you're weighing Give context. Don't write War & Peace. Be specific. We're all here to help, but we're also all busy finishing our own tracks. Make it easy for people to help you. HOW TO SHARE TRACKS FOR FEEDBACK: 1. Upload to Disco.ac only - We're all using it, keep everything in one place 2. Share the Disco link in Track Feedback & Finishing category 3. Be specific about what feedback you need: "Is this mix sync-ready?" "Does this hit the 'uplifting indie' vibe or miss?" "I'm stuck on the bridge at 1:32 - does it work?" General "thoughts?" posts get general responses.Specific questions get specific help.

I write in a myriad of styles and flavors, and also would love to collab with folks if they have vocal ideas for some of my tracks. I thought I would try to just pick three songs from my library that give a few different glimpses into the stuff I write. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts and feedback. Thank you in advance. https://s.disco.ac/raqknzbfudsk

They have a catalog problem. You can't pitch your way out of having three finished tracks. Agree or disagree? Let's talk about it!

Shoutout to @Tyree Newton for getting his first track approved on Pond5 after a rejection. A few weeks ago he was getting rejected and asking questions. Now he's got a placement-ready track live on a major library and already planning the 30 and 60 second edits. That's the process working exactly how it should. That's how it's done. Shoutout to @Joe Goldberger for showing up to Monday's Q&A ready to work. Came in with real questions about Disco, library research, exclusive deals, and how to actually build a contact list that means something. 55 years as a professional drummer and composer, brand new to sync, and already doing the homework most people skip. That kind of preparation is going to pay off fast. That's how it's done. Shoutout to @Virgil Cash for finishing 6 tracks last week, starting two more mixes this week, and still taking time to encourage everyone else in the Monday thread. Productive and community-minded at the same time. That's the standard. That's how it's done.
