I made this as a remix of one of my favorite Sonic tracks. My forte sides more with hip hop beats and instrumentals for rapping over. I'm still working on this one, have about 2 more verses to go. I'm free to any and all tips and suggestions! Hope you like!

Welcome to the forum! I hope you like it hear, we're pretty friendly :)

I like the volume work with the piano at the beginning, though I think there may be just a tad too much filter work on it. Nonetheless, it sounds solid.

The bass is nice, but I would love to hear more of it. Great snare sample though, absolute perfection on that. That high hat sounds a tad subdued as well like the piano, did you throw a low pass filter on that by chance? I would like to hear some more high end on it for sure.

I like the vibe the string samples bring, but some more reverb on them would fill the mix a little better. Contrary to the piano and high hats, I also think some filter work on the strings would do them justice.

I really really like the section starting at 1:02 with the eighth note hats - it sets a good vibe, and the piano melodies are really solid here. Very nice work.

Solid track man. Just as you said, your forte is definitely with hip hop instrumentals. I would work on the timbre of your samples to make them sound more natural, but other than that very nice work!  ;D

Thanks for the feedback! Indeed I do have a low pass filter on it, though it came with the patch I used so I've since eliminated it. It does have a lot more crispness to it now.

I've definitely put a lot more work into it and it sounds a whole lot better as a result. I've got this thing where I get so happy with a beat and not running out of creativity that I want to share as soon as possible, instead of stepping away, letting it sit, coming back to it and realizing I can do a lot more. I wish I had Soundcloud pro so I could just constantly update it lol.

[EDIT: I've updated the track to reflect it's final form. Not sure if I should up it to the other forum. Ah well. Hope you guys enjoy]
