Meh. I think you could have done more with the drums to spice it up. Maybe ocassional fills or something. I am feeling the rapper though. He has a good voice. You could definitely get the mix tighter with gated drums and more ambitious compression. Especially on that aux/secondary snare. It's not bad in general. The whole mix just needs more character...including vocal mix/comp
Hey, I really like the idea of the progression you got going. The 808 is a pleasant sound and the drum fills are going ham. The major downfall in this beat is the main melody feeling a little lackluster and repetitive. There are also some minor problems with the mix, for example, the kicks punching too much and the snare needing to be turned up. The drum patterns after a while also felt like they needed to change up more. Overall though I like the idea you're going for with an A and B on the chorus and verse and I thought it was a pretty cool listen.
Honestly, there is no difference in stylistic sensibility. I like trap metal. I'm just stating my opinion regarding your brand of it. As for my beat, it's a commission. Typically I don't make music like I posted. This is for an African artist.
No. With all due RESPECT, I loooove Death Grips and Jpegmafia, too. Ironically, my stuff is more in line with that than your particular track. I'm not fighting you. I'm just saying that if it's experimental, you need to reach further for that bag. This track is more structured and cohesive than Jpegmafia. It's not experimental ENOUGH. And then, you're screaming on a beat (which actually is pretty hot... but conventional) and passing it off something that personally I don't think it is. I like it. I don't think it is wack. It's clean, which is the main thing I look for. I'm just saying you asked for criticism. I gave it. My criticism is shared by many. Take it or leave it. It sounds like screamo on a random beat. Listen to the structure and composition of Death Grips. It's more loose. No hate.
Ima be honest, I make Pop music. The only reason I post here is because I have rap influences along with electronic. If you don't like Pop or Electronic don't respond. If you do wanna respond, comment on mix. There isn't a form for Pop beats.
I love everything since itโs a WIP canโt say too much as far as the vision goes add some highlight on the dark contrast maybe another bold color like yellow or a neon. Highlight the line work maybe? Maybe instead of โliningโ use - - - - or โขโขโขโขโขโข make it funky.
I would suggest throwing in a few subtle values like you have in the green ball in the lower far left. But itโs not missing much just a bit of depth to pop.
I think the mix is pretty great, i think whats holding you back rn is sound selection, like a few instruments dont feel modern, or get a tiny bit fuzzy at their peaks. So i think creative m/m would elevate it. Your ear and technical skills seem super refined though, the depth and layering and sharpness is there. Even if going for an older vibe it could be good to try to create what those sounds would be like with all the technology and innovations that have been made since.
Thanks for the honest! Conceptually, I was going for a more retro sound, but believe it or not, sound selection for this particular track was the one aspect I was iffy about. I'm glad you picked up on that.
Nah, looking through your comment history you just like to trash people. You offer positive pearls every now and then, but you have some serious negativity that tinges every interaction. Your music isnโt some godlike quality or anything special. I liked the variation in the synth, but it ultimately felt really repetitive and harsh. Wasnโt a style I could listen to for more than a couple minutes. Keep it up I guess, maybe youโll get more clicks if people want to prove you wrong.
Cover art on this is extremely dope! This one embodies early 2000s Pop in a really cool way. Heavy Justin Timberlake & Timberland vibes. The bass is really a high-point, same with the piano strikes, you used both to really switch the mood on the drop of a dime and things like that keep the song exciting for me. I'm liking it

Just dropped the mf
It's hot dude. Love the concept. The mc is ๐ฅ. So simple but so effective.
Worked hard on this one, and I'm excited to finally share it with you all! ๐ง

Please be honest. I def will be with you.

Okay, it works now.

Tbh, we weren't really going for trap metal though.

That shit is beautiful. You deserve more likes!

Thx. I'll try something

Thanks. I'll try that!

Also, did you listen to the tracks I critiqued?
