Crunchy song (feedback and help)

[gleaming knot]

ok so i think you have a rlly good idea you just need to perfect it so this is a great rough draft

i think some parts where its just the vocals lack and feel isolated

so id suggest adding some instrument whether it be a lead or chords whatever

[unborn adder]

hmm imma try that

[gleaming knot]

and fill up some of the high end and stuff unless that doesnt fit for your genre or thing ur tryna go for

just try to fill up as much as you can and if things sound like youre isolating tracks of a song you know youre on the right track ytou just need to keep going

[unborn adder]

high end?

sorry i'm really early in fl studio stuff, so i don't know what that means

[unborn adder]

btw do you have any tip on the melody? I feel it sounds quite, off.

somehow

[gleaming knot]

youre doing the melody on some off beats

which sounds strange

and sometimes the notes are too short

[unborn adder]

oh yeah, the start is supposed to be like that, but at the part after 40... it still feels like that

[gleaming knot]

unless we're thinking of something else idk? the melody to me is that weird low mid distorted instrument near the start

[gleaming knot]

because youre leaving parts empty

you could maybe add some delay to the lead at that part

or sound effects in between

[unborn adder]

i really lack knowledge on using serum, imma try something smoother at some point
but i like the distortion

[unborn adder]

a lead, alright

[gleaming knot]

serum is hard to me

[unborn adder]

i ask for help mostly cuz i don't really know where to start things out

[gleaming knot]

i meant the melody lol but u could also try a lead too

[unborn adder]

just the fact i made that song is a miracle cuz i give up easily

[gleaming knot]

its fine youll get into it eventually

[unborn adder]

oh right right

[gleaming knot]

thats good that ur doing smth lol

and just remember even if it turns out bad its good bc you can learn from what made something bad

you can always improve

bad once doesnt mean bad forever

[unborn adder]

ohh a delay in the start ok ok imma try that

[gleaming knot]

yk what delay is right like the lil echo thing

im talkin bout that

[unborn adder]

ye ye

i'm learning the meaning of the effects, but i think i'm getting the hang of em

[gleaming knot]

oh its alright

by delay i mean the effect called delay which is basically just echo

[unborn adder]

i use gross beat and hardcore vsts a lot

[gleaming knot]

thats good i love gross beat

also just try like evry plugin

try things u never used

if ur new its good to just experiment and find what works best for you

[unborn adder]

i was aiming for a bass like this https://soundcloud.com/astro-pup/astro-pup-bitter
but failed so i went for the basic distorted

[gleaming knot]

you can find a similar one in flex

the plugin

its called 808 destroyed i think

you can work off of that

the bass also just sounds that way bc the way the track is mixed as a whole

if it were unmastered youd hear a different bass

[unborn adder]

it is quite similar yeah

didnt knew what was flex, gonna try that

[unborn adder]

right

[gleaming knot]

flex is cool

has nice presets and 808s

[unborn adder]

pfft and i was busy finding samples for it cuz i didnt knew

[gleaming knot]

i use it mostly for 808s bc most presets arent my style but to each their own you might find stuff u like there

[gleaming knot]

ohhhh

fl studio has its own cowbells and a lot of other stuff

[unborn adder]

i tried my best but it ended getting really, uh... bad

i think i'll leave it now

gonna try making a new beat tomorrow cuz now i got a big headache xd
