Sick beat, great rhythm in your rhymes and great lyrics. I would just like to hear more "on the table". Like lean into the feeling and give it some energy. Whatever that energy is. I can feel the edges of it but I think there's a lot more room there that you can explode into. Not necessarily volumeRead more
Sick beat, great rhythm in your rhymes and great lyrics. I would just like to hear more “on the table”. Like lean into the feeling and give it some energy. Whatever that energy is. I can feel the edges of it but I think there’s a lot more room there that you can explode into. Not necessarily volume (although it could be)…more vulnerability/attitude/emotion. Let us in more. I feel like I want more of what these rhymes mean through your performance of them.
One interesting exercise is to re-sing/rap the whole thing again at full volume. Almost yelling it the whole way through. Maximum energy, over the top, just ridiculous energy. Just to see where the top is. Then scale it back a few levels and do it again. Keep doing it until you find the level of energy that feels interesting. Sometimes hard to find a place to do it but I always find a car ride is good for some high-energy lyric testing.
As for feedback for the track, I think it’s great. I think don’t get too caught up in what it needs at this point. Just keep creating. Follow what feels right for you. When faced with a decision whether to create more or not, usually pick the create more option… if you don’t like it, just delete it. When you create more, at least you have the choice. It also lets you explore different avenues rather than just imagining what they could be.
Work with some ppl and other singers and that sometimes helps inform decisions about structure. Just follow your gut, it won’t let you down.
Congrats on the first upload, the hardest part is over. Now just keep going 😀

yo this is cool! Totally nailing the prescription. I can see the animated character in that stand still looping actions style. Loving the conga work. Spread across the stereo nicely.

this is really nice dude, it has a very Traumprinz feel to it. I fully get what you're aiming for. something that hits like the video I linked. kicks are my mortal enemy but I get what you're saying. It feels like the kick is almost swallowing something up. I cant tell for sure but maybe your kicksRead more
this is really nice dude, it has a very Traumprinz feel to it. I fully get what you’re aiming for. something that hits like the video I linked. kicks are my mortal enemy but I get what you’re saying. It feels like the kick is almost swallowing something up. I cant tell for sure but maybe your kicks clashing with something in the upper mids. I see the vision though and know the emotion you’re striving for, there’s this Portuguese word called Saudade that is this bittersweet/longing/melancholia hard to describe but it has that feeling of longing.
2 things I’ll add though some hi-hat variation would go a long way maybe some slight variations in the hats every second, third or fourth bars, whatever feels right, maybe like ghost notes or just slightly different pattern to pique interest. This one might just be me but the vocal sample is nice and I think you had some frequency automation making it open and close but by the end of the track it definitely was a lot to hear “im in love” once every bar. you could maybe reduce how many times it hits maybe once every 2 or 4 bars that way it’s something you look forward to hearing as opposed to potentially something that is monotonous. In terms of replay value the number of songs I’ve wanted to play again because I’ve wanted to hear the vocal chop again they’ve always shown restraint in how it’s deployed. You want your ears to be eagerly waiting to hear the chop. if you like the every bar I’m in love, you would probably be able to achieve the same thing by giving us a break in the middle and then bringing it back to finish. I also feel like ive heard tracks slowly complete the phrase over time so like going from “im in..” to “I’m in love” but yeah i dont know if that’s the vibe.
All in all great piece man, i really see what you’re trying to do, hope I didn’t come across as too critical, i really do love the track much love & happy mixing

Another banger my friend! Intro has a cool 90's vibe that I'm all about at the moment :D. When listening, my mind wanted it to be a lot more glitchy & the beat to be broken - you definitely get elements of it when the drums come up.

I would love to hear some resampling on those vocal pads to glitch them a bit, and add some 90/00’s style breakbeat drums and samples. Would give it a nice vibe of organic sounds blended with mechanical glitches.
But they are just my opinions 😛

Really dig the vibe here! Enjoyed the stereo vocals - not sure it was two takes panned left & right or just an FX, but it added a 'weirdness' to the track which I enjoyed.

Excited to see what you do with it. Seems like there is a lot of space for exploration and sound design as there are no percussion elements – the stuff you were doing at the end with the glides and pitch bends. Keen to hear where you take it though

Love the percs, including that persistent triangle :) Your description is apt, low slung chugging along for someone who needs to 'lock in' on the dancefloor after a gruelling week of hard yakka.

Love the percs, including that persistent triangle 🙂 Your description is apt, low slung chugging along for someone who needs to ‘lock in’ on the dancefloor after a gruelling week of hard yakka.
The chords that come in at the end could be an opportunity for you to flex your skills and do a bit of a solo. Nothing hectic, even if you just ran up and down the scales in between the chord stabs you have there… Even if it doesnt make the final cut, perhaps a challenge for yourself as I know you’ve been levelling up in this regard.
And especially since the overall tune is a sort of maintaining the same vibe throughout, a lil bit of spice at the end for the listeners interest wouldn’t go astray!
Well done bro!

Overall, I love the beat and rhythms, and sound choices. Really makes me want to get up and dance, so well done for inspiring that!! A little refinement and it’ll be an absolute banger. Can’t wait 😄
