[robust veldt]

Sounds cool, but id tone some stuff down, sounds overpowering, other than that neat

[barren flint]

Yea it needs some mixing work

I was just happy to finish it and I posted it lol

[strong minnow]

agree the distortion is a lil overdone

[barren flint]

Made it all in reaper

Im the impostor of the server

[strong minnow]

not a bad idea

why tf u here then boi

lol im jk idc

[barren flint]

Because

This server is big

And active

There is no big reaper server sadly

[strong minnow]

cool to have more producers here interested in edm

[barren flint]

Check out my other songs

They are all over the place lol

I try not to stick to one genre

I probably should thi

[strong minnow]

are you on spotify?

[barren flint]

No

I'll send the yt video rq

@strong minnow

[cloud nexus]

Yep

A lot of muddiness

[barren flint]

What did u think of the other stuff

They're even more amateur

[strong minnow]

Yea man I gave the one you linked a listen its cool, u should figure out how to get some more creative sounds going and work on mixing em

Sure plenty of people would vibe with the simple beats though

[barren flint]

Yea

[clever rune]

Me when that kick bass dropped in :

https://tenor.com/3xuk.gif

I'm assuming this isn't my speaker acting up, that bass is pretty intense but more than anything you gotta clean the muddy frequencies up in the low end

Nice work otherwise, though iwould have like some more high register isntrumejts or sounds

Maybe a melody, but nice sort of twilightesque / passage of time scene backbeat

[barren flint]

Yea I need to fix it

[barren flint]

High register?

As for melody yea idfk what I should do lol

[clever rune]

Look it up, each instrument has a certain range it sounds most natural playing: trumpets sound good in the higher register to mid, violins are similar, but bass guitar and contrabass sound best playing low registers. Cello would be somewhere in the middle spanning on either side

[barren flint]

@clever rune also u would say this song is edm right

[clever rune]

Yes

[barren flint]

@fiery saddle

[barren flint]

how was ze song?

[fiery saddle]

it has that beginner vibe to it. good job on fleshing out an idea however and trying it. but the sound design, mix, and sound selection are apparently attributed to a beginner, i'd say, just keep making music and trying new things

[barren flint]

Ok

Yea the mixing needs some work

[barren flint]

Also what do u mean by sound selection

Like did some stuff sound really out of place?

[fiery saddle]

piano and bass guitar sound cheap and cheesy

or rather, it sounds like you're using a guitar as a piano?

[barren flint]

There's a guitar???

[fiery saddle]

bro

whatever the first instrument you hear is

it sounds like a stringed instrument

[barren flint]

That's a piano yea

Not a guitar

[fiery saddle]

yeah, it just doesn't sound that great of a instrument

[barren flint]

Hmmm I can maybe change some stuff around

[barren flint]

@fiery saddle changed the piano, added a clap, and did some leveling

[fiery saddle]

hey man, i know you want to ask for feedback but i can't just provide feedback every step of the way

[barren flint]

oh

well i felt like the track was almost finished(to me at least) so i just wanted some final opinions
