[Your name (maybe)...]

Pretty emotional beat you have here :D But as for hiphop, the beat should be more in front, right now it too quiet imo. At 1:21 when the 808 hits is amazing, nice work. At 1:25 when the 808 switches tone, i feel like there's a bit of bass distortion, the higher and lower tones of the 808 seem to clash. but overall, good work :)

EdKempeper responds:

Hello ! Thanks a lot for this very constructive review !
Yeah, the beat is a bit "low", because when I made it, I tried to add vocal parts (but deleted it), so I focused on the pad and lead synth part.
Yes, there's a problem with the 808 : I used a sample and FL Granulizer, so when I switched tones, there was this "distortion" problem...
Thank you again for your review ! ;)

The drums sound a bit dull, they need to sound sharper. I can hear at 2:10 quite clearly, you don't have to cut out the high end of the spectrum. Also run the break through a compressor, make it banging :D overall a nice job, got my head nodding.

luce responds:

i lost this project years ago honestly, otherwise i'd probably do that lol thank you

The bass gets pretty repetitive, you gotta mix up the bass and percussion, maybe add some more instruments or FX. Or change the beat so it keeps you on the edge all of the duration of the track. But overall, I liked the spacy feel it gave me :P

[Retinue]

Man, piano sounds amazing. That's a nice improvisation, maybe not the best quality, but I still listened all of it. good job :)

ChadWiggy responds:

Thanks! I'm recording onto my phone still.... cant figure out the midi transfer!!

[Renegade Town]

It seems that the piano is clashing with itself or some other instrument. I suggest you look some vids on youtube about music theory, all the notes should be in the same scale, if they're not in the same scale you get distortion which can be good in some cases, but not right here. Maybe start off by listening to those piano chords, if the chords sound fine, check for other mistakes. good luck :)

5Dollar responds:

Very true, i'm just what you call a lazy and or bad musician lmao.

Edit: Also I sort of got it in key I guess

[90's]

Love the vinyl crackling, beat has a nice flow to it, maybe shuffle those hihats from time to time :P nice work, next time add a bassline that compliments the string. overall, nice work :)

RabbitG responds:

thnx man)

[Heart to Heart]

Man this sounds beautiful, great work. Just gonna tuck this to my favorites for future sampling :P Good luck on your RPG and album.

viewtifulday responds:

Thanks man! The album finally got finished but it hasn't been uploaded anywhere as of yet. Gonna keep staying productive

[thVTA - Yat]

That's a nice experiment, but you need to dedicate more time and love to your music, think your music through and then release it. Many of the sound were out of place. I suggest you google music theory and maybe search on youtube how to master and mix your tracks. And then you'll get better as time passes by. good luck :)

thVTA responds:

Yeah, i know. I'm trying to dedicate more time to learn hot to make my song!

[Blessed Be]

Love the bouncing snare at the beginning, also im a sucker for jazzy types of beats, i wish it was a bit longer tho :) just gonna cut it and loop it i guess :D 1love
