This is a spectacular piece! From the large orchestral sound to the quality of the vocalist, I'm impressed with every aspect of this! (This is coming from someone who has consistently fallen asleep at every orchestra I've listened to live)
Not bad for your first! It sounds like a mix between trap and an EDM genre. If you wanted to make it more EDM-like, I think its just missing some basic build-ups and drops.
This is a very catchy way to bring a bunch of loops together. The only thing I can think of to improve this might be to add something to break up the repetition at some point throughout the track!
Nice track! It's very interesting. Some things I'd work on to make this sound better are setting better levels and using EQ. While the 808 is interesting, the amount of distortion is a little too much for how loud it is in the mix. It also clashes a lot with the lead you have.
thank you for the honest feedback!
And you are right im still amateur when it comes to mixing and stuff and educational comments are really appreciated!
This is a really nice track. I'm used to hearing only a good instrumental and mediocre lyrics when I listen to rappers tracks over the internet, but I like that both are good on this track. I also like the overall mix. Everything sounds like a quality old school records. Nice work!
I liked to piano and overall atmosphere of this. It's very relaxing. I do think the bass on the pad is too loud for being in stereo. It made my head feel like it was twirling a bit. Interesting effect if that is what you were going for!
Thanks for the comment Enzotic. As for the bass unfortunately due to Cod2pac's location some of his loops dwindle in audio quality as the analogue signals dissipate much more over the longer distances in a digital data stream.
I just loved the bass pad too much however so I gave it a shot anyway. It was a pain to try and master it and this was simply the best I could do.
I like what you've got so far. The piano really sets the mood and is the star of the track in my opinion. Two things that I didn't like as much were the choir and the ending. For the choir, I'd trying increasing the attack on it a little bit. Every time it comes in it sounds somewhat abrupt, but my ear wants to hear something a little more smooth. The ending wasn't bad, I just think that it might sound more interesting if you add another chord to the very end of it. Nice work though!
I like this. It's simple, relaxing, and lends itself well to meaningful lyrics. I do, however, feel as if something is missing for the majority of the track. I think that some sort of effect or sound (like what was used around the 2 minute mark) would fill up some space and make the track even more interesting. I think that simply using that little section occasionally in the background wouldn't be a bad idea.
glad you like the track. I thought of adding more to the sound but every time it just did not sound right. It's one those tracks I stared I just wanted get done.
This is a great track. Didn't hear anything needing improvement as far a the production and mix are concerned. For genre, I'd just call it pop (I'm not big on sub-genres :) ).
I liked this better than the majority of the content that I hear on the radio. Good job & keep up the good work. I always hear good stuff when I press play on your music & loops.
Thanks for droppin' in Enzotic. I think the only issue right now is that the bass is a little bit overwhelming, making it hard to raise the overall volume without hitting the limiter hard and muddling the sound. Also, the snare is a little sharp within the verses. I appreciate your comments on the radio issue, that's something I've been working hard to achieve. :)
This is amazing! I don't like trap music that much (with the exception of 808 drums and bass), so this surprised me. Love the synths, the bass and the mix of this. I've been thinking of doing a track with solely Looperman content and this has definitely inspired me to work on that.
This is really good. I feel like the sound selection and overall production make this a great candidate for what's popular today. As far as radio goes, I think this could easily fit (or be shaped into) a pop or urban hit. Good luck with this one!
Thanks...We are both glad you enjoyed the track...

Creative. I like the vibe of this and the sound selection. I think the improving the mix (mostly the volume, panning, and working on the snare) would make this beat sound better.
I like the originality of this piece. My only criticism is that I dislike something about the kick (not specifically sure what I dislike about it). Also, I think this track could sound even better with improving the mix on the busy parts. Everything seemed to by fighting for my attention and it was a little difficult to enjoy each sound. Maybe some volume automation might help. Overall, nice track!
Loved the sound from the guitars! That eerie sound effect was pretty neat too. It's giving me some ides for the next time I go make some weird effects.
Very interesting track. I wasn't expecting this at all, but I like it! The only thing I'd fix in this is the sibilance (mostly in the beginning). Nothing a few volume automations or a de-esser can't fix!
Thank you Enzotic for your appreciation of the song. I am working on the sibilance issue. My brother made a suggestion that I include a "male's " perspective to the song. So on the next upload, the sibilance issue will be addressed.
From what I am hearing, the guitars are taking up too much room in the mix. They drown out the drums to the point where I barely notice them. They also make it difficult to focus in on the vocals. As mentioned, subtractive EQ is your friend. A neat trick with subtractive EQ to make something stand out (the vocals in this case) would be to make a somewhat narrow EQ curve to boost & sweep through the frequency range of the guitars. Pay close attention to what frequencies are masking the vocals the most and cut them until you can clearly hear the vocals. Also, if you are using any kind of stereo or phase delay on the guitars, try toning it down a bit. In comparison to the rest of the track, the guitars sound really wide. In addition to this, your track might benefit from widening the higher frequencies of your drum kit.
Finally, if you aren't using a reference track, try pulling one into your session and use that for comparison and making informed decisions about the frequency range of each sound. If you'd like, you can send me a copy of your files and I'll make a rough mix for you to use as a reference!
I would really appreciate if you would like to take a stab at the mix. Ive worked on mostly hip hop and electronic based music so the guitar/rock production is new to me and my partner doesnt mess with anything on the mixing aspect so having another set of producers ears would be most excellent.
This is a fantastic record! From recording to mastering it, sounds great. I just recently finished mixing a song from a Christian band and went through a ton of tracks to use as a reference for my mix. I honestly think that this sounds better than most of the tracks I listened to.
Nice work and I hope to hear more tracks like this!
Thank you for listening and taking the time to comment!
Yes I compose a lot of these tracks for my friends who are studying game design, video production & animation. This track was composed for a scene in which the protagonists are approaching a military installation, the title "Numbers Station" is for that reason, the scene is silent, this track is all the viewer will hear.

I don't really like them drums too, maybe I rather should use percussions or simply no drums at all. Need to figure it out somehow ;)
