Asian-influenced hip-hop/breakbeat WIP
« on: January 07, 2016, 08:55:44 pm »
Started this idea last night. Taking a breather to clean my ears so-to-speak, so I can get back to it with a clean set of ideas. Messy mix and whatnot at this point, yada yada yada. Let me know what you think.

It's a private upload, so I can't embed it: https://soundcloud.com/sprout/hyperion/s-vn9TA

^^^UPDATE: This link is now dead, the finished song has been posted here: http://theproducersforum.com/index.php?topic=893.0

I actually kinda like this but I don't think your snare really punches hard enough. It would be cool if you layered it with a preshifted clap or some foley or something too to add a little bit of texture.

I think this sounds phenomenal. The snare sounds creative and fits well imho, but if you're going for a more punchy sound, layering it with a fatter 808-ish snare would give it that extra punch.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Taking everything into consideration. :)
Been trying to find a way to make that snare more appealing. Will probably post this thing in the Finished Tracks sub when it's finished, which'll likely be within a week.

^and yeah, I just bought a Zoom H5 field mic, so I'm going to figure this gadget out tonight and get to recording some cool foley later to layer with my percussion
