[winter herald]

[winter herald]

that's fast af

should it be half time?

[cinder ridge]

leave that for later

make it 105 bpm

[winter herald]

I'll make some coffee n experiment sure

[wanton oyster]

would help to add some chords or progression i think!

[winter herald]

yea that seems to be my most consistent problem. adding interest without making it lose whatever cohesion it has

[wanton oyster]

fl studio's latest version has a chord progression tool i think, it really helps a bunch, try it!

that way you can build an entire melody out of some chords that the tool helps suggest

[winter herald]

[wanton oyster]

i think you can even choose how you want your chords to feel, like sad/somber, and it'll just generate a bunch of chords in minor keys lol

[winter herald]

my friend said this sounded like a certain hollywood undead song and zxz saying it was emo rap

that's pretty interesting actually

maybe i'll look into adding some guitar

[wanton oyster]

i'm not really sure what emo rap is lol. but the first thing that comes to mind is some of xxxtentacion's songs even if he mumbles through some of em

[wanton oyster]

sure. sample quality/choice is important btw, it makes all the difference. fl studio's default slayer sounds kinda bad, maybe you could get some interesting tones from flex. throw in some processing like FL's hardcore plugin and play around

[winter herald]

good advice! I think i just hardcore with buying signature so I'll remember that thanks!
