I wanna be unique

[prime imp]

I went to a lucy bedroque concert, it kinda inspired me to try beat making, I had made things in similar styles but for these beats it just feels bland, idk why. I also know the mixing is terrible, any tips?

[fervent socket]

huh these don't feel bland/generic to me
i'm thinking you could turn down the bass maybe because trust me it'll be much better during mastering if you don't redline everything before then

To be honest, I'm really bad at mastering 808's, i'll try a new track to try and study it but yeah i feel like i overdo it alot

[fervent socket]

yeah i mean who doesn't overdo the bass anyway

if you want crunchier 808s i suggest you put it at like -3 or -6dB whichever goes best with the kick and add a hard clipper to bring out some extra harmonics just don't overdo that too you should just tweak it until it sounds right

The volume variations are going to be a headache when it comes to mixing and mastering, but I like it when people make music that has personality.

[craggy grove]

Really good but i think it feels a bit too scattered like three different patterns are going on at once, but if that's the style it's really unique

The second one's 808s drown out the other instruments but great job

yo are these your first beats? the 2nd beat is hard asf maybe a beat switch if you plan on making it longer. Like you could transpose it up an octave

If it's good I'll mix it all properly and actually work on it, I'm just tryna learn the style. I've made music before and stuff various styles but i've gotten super fixated on rage right now
