@Digitali Musix - "The Heist" I like the idea your going for. This beat has a lot of potential. Its either the sounds you are using come like that, or you're eq'ing the sounds way too much. They sound small and empty. Cut short (not filling in the frequency spectrum). I would suggest just focusing on the overall volume and mix first before you change the sounds (if that's what you were doing) Some of the higher pitched sounds will cut through the mix more than the 808 or bass will. Another thing I noticed was the bass clipping a lot. When you hear that crackling in the speakers it means that its too loud. The reason people are able to get loud sounding mixes are a combination of a (good overall mix, eq'ing, compression and limiting.) Its kind of hard to hear the bass in regular studio speakers, but its there even though its harder to hear. The human ear does a much better job of hearing the higher pitched sounds. Something I did to gain confidence in my mixes/speakers was to play the beat in my car. Id write down notes, (bass to loud, piano to soft, etc) and then go back and listen to it again on my speakers in the studio. This helped me to understand what I'm hearing inside the studio and I would make the proper adjustments to the mix. After doing that for 3-4 beats now I don't have to go to the car as much and I know it will sound good.
"The Suffering"- Some of the same stuff I said up there. I think this beat is dope. Something else I noticed is that you are panning one melody to the left and the other to the right. This makes the melodies sound like they are clashing and not uniformed. I know it would be nice to have a very wide sounding song, and there is a trick I use all the time to achieve this. Create two tracks of the same melody (duplicate). Pan one to the left and one to the right. The next part is dope. In order for the melody to sound wider and not right down the middle, create a 10ms delay on any one of those. Left or Right. The result will be a wider sound. For the counter melody you can do the same thing but not pan them all the way. Or you can just have that melody in the center with the drums.
I know this may sound like a lot but all you have to do is YouTube with the daw you are using and there is a video for it!! Overall you have a lot of potential to becoming a DOPE beat maker!!
