Don't know the heavy inspiration track that give you the idea for your track but who cares this one stands very well like this
i like the atmos
Compress your beat more i'm pretty sure that a fatter beat gonna works very well
PERSONALLY, not a fan of this chord progression. To me it doesn't resolve itself well. Mixing and mastering is definitely improved from your last works. If you ever want me to mix and master some tracks let me know, I would love to work on my skills.
You could add another melody around 1:50 - 2:00 and that would sound dope! This is definitely X it sounds good but I'd lower the higher bands on the equalizer the get the sharpness mellowed out.
This was really great. I actually enjoyed listening to it. My advice is to make faster tracks (like 130+ BPM) and youll be making hits! keep up the good work.
So I listened to the reference you made and on that particular beat, it is simple as yours is. However, there is use of the intro sample vocal that is sparsely used in a few spots. Its a small detailed element that keeps the listener entertained by the music.. although the music is obviously not what makes the track. The layered vocals in the reference track are well done and do fill out the track overall. Again, its about the rap, not the music. However, the beat itself (drums) of the reference track have a couple of extra hits that are placed in the hooks which also add a small, but detailed element.
Your track isn't far off from this, and always go by your ear before you go by visuals of the actual .wav files that you're looking at. You can make up that volume by compression and EQ on the back end. Your extra guitar part is the thing that clashes with the key of the song (its on the last hit), I'd leave that out and allow the initial guitar to play that awkward voicing.
When you add the second guitar back in the middle of the track, perhaps put a small, soft delay on it. Add a couple of voicings to the bass in the hook to make it move a touch more.
At the end of the day, yes, the vocal is what is going to bring a track like this to life, but you can't just assume that the artist is going to fill that void.
Sounds good Davidarcade, the only thing i think i would change is the bass, the song itself is pretty good, maybe a little more mixing and add a few more instruments to the mix. awesome work!!
Ok. So dont take anything as a negative as I am a very critical listener. Plus, I feel as if the goal is to uplift folks.
1. Very interesting chord progression that could make it challenging for one to sing to (artist adds a chorus).
2. Original guitar loops seems to sit pretty far behind the kick and snare on certain hits. Not sure if you intended this but if not, take a look at the grid there.
3. Personally, I feel as if you need a few more elements as the track as a whole seems a tad bland.
The mixing on the drums was actually something I was very confused about. Just by looking at the peaks, the drums seem like they are so much louder than they actually sound. I had an earlier mix that I was actually more happy with where the drums were even louder and the guitar loop was maybe 20% quieter. I thought the drums really filled out the track and made it sound a lot less bland when they were mixed like this, especially because of the reverb on the snare. But after I exported it and saw the waveform (which was much worse than this is) I was concerned and thought I should start over, even though it sounded better just by ear.
Also, I was trying to do somewhat of a recreation of the beat from "jocelyn flores" so I left the track somewhat empty, imagining that there would eventually be thick layered vocals over certain parts of the song.
Any specific tips you can give me to work around my situation in the future?

Keep putting material out bud. Good job.
