first beat ever made

[gaunt bobcat]

tell me what you guy's think about it? i've only been producing for 7 days. be critical and tell me what it's lacking, i feel like a counter melody and an 808 personally

[velvet gazelle]

needs some variation. musicality is good, I like the guitar and chords. drums are in a weird pattern. snare seems fine but kick feels odd being only a triplet starting on 1. normally in hip hop triplet kicks end on 1.

[astral holly]

That beat is so boring

Try to add some melody

[velvet gazelle]

yeah definitely don't just repeat the same 8 bars for 2 minutes. you have to have different sections and it can't be just 8th note / 16th note hats

[gaunt bobcat]

What videos would you guys say I should watch to get better with my melody and drums

Cause I know that's what I'm lacking with this beat

[velvet gazelle]

there's a few routes you can take to learn music stuff. 1: just do it until you get good. 2: watch people produce and hope some of their techniques stick with you. 3: learn theory

[gaunt bobcat]

@velvet gazelle are there good music theory channels on YouTube?

[ember ibex]

internet money vids might help and also watch nick miras beat making vids u can learn stuff from em

[ember ibex]

watch the internet money vids on chords and melodies

[gaunt bobcat]

i was playing around today with the first beat i made, idk what i was doing but hopefully it sounds much better

[upper blaze]

Why do I feel like it's better originally 💀

[empty tiger]

bro thought he could add plucked and get away with it 😭

[gaunt bobcat]

yeah basically
