Thanks for listening. I played the bassline with my Maschine using the Rickbacher bass guitar. This is my go to method. I do not really quantize my sloppy playing to give it a more human touch.
I like the more serious direction of your lyrics. Beat is nices and the hook is catchy. There is a nasty clipping sound in the first few seconds of the track. Keep up the good work.
The 8 bit vibe is nice but the melody gets very repetitive. I like the thunder.
The low end feels a bit overpowering and there is a harshness in some of the melodies.
I F with this. Dope drums and samples. I also like the vocal chops. As a rapper I would like less changes but as a instrumental I think it really works well.
Sounds like a classic boom bap beat until the chorus with the ill synth and the vocals. Very melodic and entertaining. I guess the synths are not for everyone but I think they add a unique flavor to the beat. Dope stuff!
Thank you @Ys Man @BNNBMB @InsideOutBeats and @XIS for your helpful input. Will pay more attention to get drums and sample working properly in future beats. Much appreciated.
Dope track. At times I feel that there is a tad too much distortion on the main synth stab but I am not sure. Especially the beginning of the track feels muddy in the low end.
The drums feel so great. The vocals and melodic chops as well. I feel the last synth layer could a bit more excitement with different panning or delay. Just mho. But again: feels so great I listened to it 3 times in a row.
The drums and the samples work well together.
I have some comments on the mix:
I feel the drums have too much distortion on them imho. The main sample on the other hand is very clean.
