Fully original track and has a Mau P - Beats meets GW Harrison - I Make You Go vibe.....

Let me know the good, the bad, and the ugly....

Key Areas of Focus:

  • The Arrangement and Overall Flow
  • Sound Design
  • General Interest and Dance-Ability
  • Anything Additional Needed (FXs, Synths, Donks, Risers, etc.)

Leave the vocal out the first minute. I personally hate it when there's a vocal in the extended

It's on the grid, but just drag it to the right

#

It comes in just too fast

#

And your drums need a little work. They're not very groovy. Make sure every different sample has the same starting position of the transient

#

I know the bass synth and vocal are different keys but I thought according to the camelphat wheel that certain other Keys are compatible with others… is this incorrect?

Makes sense

flint wagon
#

Or at least, make sure to start with that. Maybe in a few years once you're an expert in music theory, you can go off key. But my advice is make everything in the same key

#

Beginners error lol I blame it on

flint wagon
#

Atleast it doesnt feel right

orchid sonnet
#

He said that for some of the drum sounds

flint wagon
#

When I play the start of the track, it definitely sounds like your open hat is stretched out a lot

orchid sonnet
#

The synth, bass, and vocals he said seemed out of key

flint wagon
#

I would advice you to get a tighter open hat. Your open hat is the main issue for the drums not sounding good

#

I think maybe make it also a little quieter, like 2-4 db

orchid sonnet
#

Noted and will try different ones later

flint wagon
#

and boost your vocal like 5 db. Can definitely be more in the foreground

#

I’ve spent a total of 8 hours so far on the track so I was expecting a lot to be tweaked

flint wagon
#

I bought expensive speakers and they will arrive in maybe 1-2 weeks. I plan on going all in on making music again after that. We could also start something if you want? 😄

#

Instead of recording a video, I could just show you how I make your track better or something like that haha

orchid sonnet
#

Without a doubt always open to it.. I actually have two vocals that are awaiting to be used lol

flint wagon
#

Sounds good, I'll hit you up when I'm gonna start again!

orchid sonnet
#

For sure sounds like a plan

Which speakers did you get

#

I was going to look into krk rokit 5s but maybe down the road when I get a job lol

flint wagon
#

Kali Audio IN-5

flint wagon
#

It's not a studio speaker though

orchid sonnet
#

Currently I used my headphones

flint wagon
#

damn they're expensive

#

I got the Astro A40 TR. Honestly everything I have is for gaming and listening to music, not producing music. But the stuff I have is extremely good for producing music imo (for speakers and headphones that are not meant for that)
