Here's one of my Battle That throwaways
First time I've used the mic for the intro, then pitched down my vocals because I hate my voice. Composed this then added 2 guitar samples and a vocal sample from splice
Another Battle That throwaway I swapped out at the last minute.
@Hadoq A couple things I really like about this. The first 8 notes are the first one, reminds of Neverending Story I think it is, I would love to sample that. Also really like the bass, the little breakdown is nice too and electric piano section. Dope work.
Thanks for the love, appreciate it
Listening to your beats
You got talent for arrangement, vision, orchestration, these sound pristine and very pro.
however, I feel there's one element that's detrimental to the whole and numbs the inherent personality of the music.
Keep in mind this is taste related, so someone else might take my advice and think it's shite, and that's fair enough, maybe you like it that way and I'm the one missing something (high likelihood of that, actually), so this is through the prism of what I like to hear and listen to, in relationship to what I heard from you here.
that element is the timbres, the way the instruments sound feels very generic, whether it's the instruments themselves, or the effects, layers and to some extent the mixing.
It is all well put together, but I feel if you would dig a bit more into the sound design of things, play with layers, saturation, tweak the presets a bit, try some texture effects, noise, flutter, filter that moves throughout the song etc...
You can get narration done through timbres and layers, and you're so good at all the other elements, it's really not much at all to get to the next step and dig into your sounds more, make them bite a little more, play with intonations, nuances, timing, harmonic tension, tempo even, change one chord one time for that effect etc...
There's plenty of things I dislike about lofi, but one thing lofi artists do well is that, timbres, moods, atmospheres, depth, so if nothing else, it's a good genre to explore as a way to develop these and implement them in your work.
Ultimately it's not much in terms of skill development, in a week, you could be there, as you obviously know your way around the making and recording of music, which makes me think maybe it's an artistic choice, in which case, it's fine, again, taste and whatnot.
In any case, great music, I appreciate it very much !
sorry for the wall of text
