Koso // Moombahton/Noisia/Odesza/Griz Style
« on: August 14, 2016, 03:57:38 am »
Me and my friend Revibe tried to make a song combining elements of Moombahton, Noisia (that crunch), Odesza style intros and pads, and Griz style basses (I will be adding more Griz elements soon).  The song is not very well mixed/mastered right now (the subs sound horrible I will get to that later) because I'm trying to get the foundation down now and will go over the rest later.

I'm not sure if this song is actually good or I'm just imagining it to be

I think this track has a lot of promise! It sounds like you have basically everything you need. If your song was a cheeseburger, you have the bun, you have the patties, you have the lettuce and the tomatoes, you have the ketchup, and you even have a sprinkling of salt and pepper in there for extra flavor.

Unfortunately your lettuce is a whole leaf, you have a single cherry tomato, your beef patties are different sizes, and your bread is too thin. Take some time to look at how the whole song should sound in relation to each other, and go from there.

Beyond the mixing, you should take some time and pick something that can unify the song together, and can give it something memorable the listener can hold onto. Look for some reference tracks that might help you if you're having trouble (Jay Fay, Dillon Francis, and Foxsky are some good Moombah artists that you could look to).

Hey Mussar thanks for the reply!

I like the analogy a lot and it really helps me visualize the song (or burger in this case).  I am almost certain that the main reason it sounds a bit all over the place is because we both worked on the song and have very different styles despite being able to work with each other.  He does much more chill/mellow/Odesza-ish songs whereas I like the big clubby/bassy/funky sounds.  He made the intro, we both worked on the first bass intro thing, I made the build, and I made more of the drop than he did.

I'm planning on unifying the drum beats so it's not all over the place in that sense.  But how do you think I should approach trying to unify other elements of the song?

Never mind I worked on it some more and sorta pieced it together a bit but ultimately I realized I needed to take a break on that song lol
