it's been raining here all week, so i wrote this hip hop beat
« on: March 17, 2016, 12:50:16 am »
hi guys :)

i've posted a few wips on here and i always get really great advice and tips, leading to an even cleaner final product. that being said, i figured i'd throw this little beat that i've been working on up here too, to see if there's any advice that you could give me. thanks so much for listening and giving me some of your time. i really, really appreciate it.

also, harsh feedback is welcome. it leads to the best results!

The lowpassed percussion is cool, but it leaves the high end of the track kinda hollow. This is just my opinion, but some stabby high end rich percussion here and there would bring some interesting elements to this track. Also, some hiend rich snares and fx would beef this up too.

The break? at 1.50 is kinda weird, i guess it's supposed to be like an message of some sorts but it feels to sudden to me.

Overall i think this is really good, i feel it's a mellow background or menu music or something. I also like all the details u've put in there. These were just some of my thoughts.

IKIS:

this helps a ton. Definitely going for the lo-fi vibe with the lack of hi end in the percussion, but I think you raise a valid point with adding some hi end rich content to spice things up (could make for some interesting fills).

the break is the FX from going to the home menu on a 3DS, which always cuts your game audio in a really awkward stutter. it's intentionally abrupt, and i know most people will share your reaction, but it's a super geeky little reference that i enjoy so i'll probably keep it there because i'm lame lol

thanks for the feedback! this is super helpful for fresh insight into it.

Yeah I figured the break was related to something. I dunno it's a cool idea, maybe try making it a tiny bit less abrupt i dunno XD
