First time making music, any tips or advice as to what i could add to this?

this is fire, i fw it, its rly good for your first time.

it could use some variation and some eq on the drum breaks

i love the intro

Thank you!

I tried to do stuff with the eq on the breaks but i wasnt sure how to edit it exactly, and as for variation atm im trying to see how to work shaperbox

[strange grail]

personally, if im not sure then i just do a low cut and a small high freq boost, u could try that !

works most of the time

if professionals try to tell u other wise, dont listen to them because they know what they are doing so that means theyre NERDS (i am joking)

but a low cut and a high freq boost could totally work

[slow delta]

Okay sounds good! I appreciate that a lot, thanks

Should i do it on both breaks? Because i layered them togrther when the drop happened

[slow delta]

@strange grail is this better?

im still not sure what to add for a melody on the second half of the drop, but im sure it'll come to me sooner or later

BUT, that aside i made sure to do what you said with the EQs, a low cut/high pass and slightly boosting the high frequency

not sure how much of a difference it made but i think it made the breaks have an interesting feel to them

[strange grail]

oh hell yeaa thats tuff

slaps

sounds way better

at least on my speakers it sounds good

[strange grail]

add a slow bell synth typa melody that follows the chords

[slow delta]

Like a stab or are you thinking of something different

[strange grail]

nah like a droning synth thingy

[slow delta]

Ogey swag

Im eeither considering using flex or vital or serum

If thry dont work ill spend my time looking for samples

ALSO, how’s the sub bass on your speakers?

I heard from someone else it was important in a way? Not sure though
