I have several more that I will put up if people like them and want to hear more. This was more of a test than anything else.

Let me know what you think!

[Sylus]

[ukeyouee]

k...I'm trying to download now. by the by - are you familiar with the band NIL8? They're from Springfield IL like me...your name made me think of them. They're still touring, and they're kind of hardrocking, so I thought you might have caught them at some point in Iowa, cause they're sort of your speed:-)

[LilRaverBoi]

Nah, Sarah....I haven't heard of em. But there are so many bands anymore, it's hard to know em all. The name is strangely similar, though.

just to give you a heads up, i will give you the best producer advice that i can. Please just take my opinions as advice and not personal attacks toward your skill.

before i begin i was wondering what genre you were doing cause you never mentioned.

Fearsome

Kick - you have used a semi bass kick. try layering it with kick that has a snap to it. (if you need me to explain just ask). Layering makes stuff sound full. Also, use an EQ on the kick.

Clap - Use a compressor to make it sound as part of the track rather than seperate. Reverb also helps

Snare - Same thing as the clap. Also, link it to the same channel as the kick but lower the volume on the snare. Too much snare can cause headaches

Finally words - Try to change the track up. so it doesn't sound repetitive all the way through.



Musical Insanity

Kick - refer to fearsome. but lower the volume.

Clap - refer to fearsome.

Bass - need more of a deep punchy bass

Vocals - Try compressor, reverb, EQ, Also, the volume is low when the vocals are playing with the beat. try adjusting the volume after you have added those effects.

Final words - repetitive. try to switch it up. Don't let sounds continue through the whole track

Those are my thoughts hope they help. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Also, looking forward to what you make in the future to see how far you have come from this.

[LilRaverBoi]

Well, I don't really have a genre, so to speak....I just kinda make whatever sounds good at the time. I usually go into making something with plans, but when I actually get down to it, it comes out totally different. As far as some of the modifications you have mentioned, Sylus....my version is very basic and really doesn't have many bells/whistles (or maybe I just don't know how to use em), so some of that might not be possible. I do appreciate the feedback, though. I think my biggest downside is repetition, but most of it changes up at least a bit throughout. Also, I've got very limited samples to use (some of the vocals I made on the program though), so repetition is kinda hard to get outa....honestly, I won't claim any of my work to be 'good'....I really just mess around with it. I don't expect to really go anywhere with it, but I do enjoy toying around from time to time....just wanted to see what people thought.
