Answers Me posted:Speaking of breaks, does anyone know of any good drum breaks in 6/8 (or 3/4)? Preferably from actual songs, but if someone could point me in the direction of some sample packs or whatever that'd be sweet too. You might be able to do something with the outro of "Manic Depression" by Jimi Hendrix.

I put up a few tracks of all different genres; tracks 2, 3, and 5 have more of a hip-hop feel than the others. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. https://soundcloud.com/jryan0858

quote:Musically, there's some interesting stuff going on but the biggest issue is about the production quality. I don't know if you're tracking with a real guitar, but there's a weird compression effect going on all throughout your songs that makes it disapear everytime the kick hits, I don't know if you're side-chaining or if it's a simple mixing issue, but it's distracting to say the least. quote:As for the synths, once again, there are some interesting things going on in terms of melody but they all sound like your "out-of-the-package" synths. They don't really sound original or personalized. You might want to spend some time tweaking them around and making them your own. It'll make a pretty big difference. quote:As for the mix as a whole, it just seems like everything is too loud. quote:You might want to bring most of your levels down and play around with compression instead. It'll help make your tracks bouncier and will make it a lot easier to mix your kick and snare so they don't cut every single frequencies. You can have your drums a lot less loud, but a lot snappier that way, and they'll shine through the mix anyway. quote:Keep at it, the potential's there.

slowfreq posted:the piano is well composed. either you sampled it from somewhere or you have a knack for writing piano pieces. either way, good job. Thanks! I wrote/recorded the piano piece myself, glad you like it. Made a few changes with the drums/dynamics (and the link, actually) https://soundcloud.com/jryanmusic/nimda

MrSargent posted:I really like it, really cool trippy melody but it isn't so weird that you can't groove to it. While listening to the track, I think at some point I was waiting for a faster hihat pattern to come in. That might just be personal taste, but I thought it could help the rhythm variation a bit. I am also not too familiar with trip-hop and how it is generally mixed, but I think the kick could be a little louder in the mix, the melodies seem to overpower it a bit when they are all playing together. Again, this could be personal preference but you asked for feedback so I wanted to provide some. I really like the track and overall it sounds great. Thanks for the feedback! I'll likely change a few things around and reupload. I followed you and liked the Pete Rock style track you made. The drums on that sound great.

MrSargent posted:Thanks a lot! I'll keep an eye out for the re-upload. Curious what is your DAW of choice and general workflow? Don't get a lot of traffic in this thread and it makes me feel like I am the only one on this forum making hip-hop, haha. I'm using Ableton Live 9. I hope to upgrade to 10 soon but it's about $300 that I don't have to spend right now. I've got a template that I've put a lot of work into in order to have a nice workflow. I can start up Live and have all my microphones ready to record, a sampled piano, a synth, a really flexible drum rack, return tracks (Short reverb, Long Reverb, Short Delay, Long Delay, Parallel Compression, etc.), and some auxiliary tracks. You?
