B-cock #1 641 Posted January 9, 2015 It feels like the first loop that you hear doesn't belong in that song, also I think if the tops were a little more forward/full then it would be an improvement. Edit: It is possible that I don't understand what you're going for, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: It is possible that I don't understand what you're going for, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Well basically in most of my music I wanna give it a little "trippy" feeling (hence "trip-hop" tag). That's why I got that first initial guitar loop going. I'll probably end up turning it down slightly though. Also I'm gonna do a lot of work with the drumline. That ain't done. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it.

Anzhi. 322 Posted January 10, 2015 Its a start! With time comes better product, im sure you'll start to see improvement over time. Keep posting some other products, it'd be cool to hear some stuff when you start getting the hang of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMatakami 120 Posted January 10, 2015 It is indeed a start, I will say that the first loop felt completely off in comparison to the rest of the song, what i recommend is to try and start with just the piano and then add in the first loop and build into what you had after. As for the drumline, try to experiment a bit more, what you had was indeed really good when it got going. I don't get a full vibe of trip-hop, however i do get a nice moody vibe from it. Something like a barren and abandoned part of a city or a dark and ominous area. So keep that piece around, but try to adjust it a bit more as you go. When you finally go back to it, you'll feel and hear your improvement. intro 6/10rest of song 8/10 Definitely a good starting place to be sure. Edit: reminds me, i need to take a crack at the ableton live 9 software i have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really care about hearing whether my music was shitty or it was amazing. All I want to know is what you thought. You hit the target. I'll definitely be doing some improvement based on your post, thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
