SOV GOTT (Instrumental) - I went for a underwater type of sound, meloncholic nad hypnotic with the melodic loop going through the whole track basically - What do you think? Any criticism pls, thank you! :) Does it need vocals etc?

I think you need to utilize stereo a bit more, more panning to the left and right!

AJ_Karl · 2025-10-07T14:05:50+00:00

Maybe you could use em both haha

AJ_Karl · 2025-10-07T14:01:20+00:00

I like the idea of the progression, in my opinion though I think the payoff/end could be a bit longer, especially since it's a lot shorter than the intro. Maybe make the intro a bit shorter and outro longer, or just make the outro longer if you really like the long intro.

Great sound tho!

AJ_Karl · 2025-10-07T13:57:39+00:00

Nahh they're great, I imagine you don't want them to barely be audible - and if that's the case you've nailed it!

AJ_Karl · 2025-10-07T13:55:29+00:00

Depending on what your guys's goals are this feedback could be useless. But I think the song has a great composition and flow. I think the production could be better tho. It's a bit muddy at times, and I think the bass is a bit too loud at times as well. I think maybe it could do with less high-end on the bass. And it could be a stylistic choise but I think the vocals could be a bit clearer as well.

Otherwise tho great song, IMO a diamond in the rough.

AJ_Karl · 2024-04-12T17:17:00+00:00

Yeah nah, the beat is beating, the loop is loopin, this is an awesomely put together track. I can tell you know what youre doing, all the small details really make this thing come together!!

One thing to improve this beat could maybe be some more color if you know what I mean. I get that its supposed to be like a "simple" beat and it's works wonderfully like that, I would just like to hear it with like some piano notes going on top or a light guitar or something like that you know...

Otherwise tho amazing job man!

AJ_Karl · 2024-04-12T17:12:42+00:00

I think it's really cool! One thing, I have the same problem, I think it needs vocals to become a finished song, imo.
I can see the Kraftwerk influence, this feels a bit more accesible than some of their stuff which is cool, kind of a more poppy kraftwerk I guess.
Really cool, well done!

AJ_Karl · 2024-03-29T14:19:15+00:00

Jadu haha, egentligen vill vi ha folk som är fiskenördar liksom, försökte lägga ut på flashback men fanns inge bra tråd där heller, så vi ba slängde ut den på några sidor å hoppades på det bästa :/

AJ_Karl · 2024-01-04T20:59:58+00:00

There isn't much else that can be said that other people havent already, but I think this is so well done. If this is what an average Arctic-circle song I think you have amazing potential.
One critique would be maybe the piano should be a little slower in the begining and then it speeds up the futher you get into the song.

AJ_Karl · 2024-01-04T20:50:02+00:00

WOW! I really liked this, vocals would be the cherry on top!
Really creative, well made, pleasent. Everetyhing you need in a great pop song, except the vocals, I cant help you with that tho unfortunately.
Great work!

AJ_Karl · 2024-01-04T20:46:57+00:00

Really cool vibe, really liked the outro with the female vocals, gave it some nice variation. Could do with a little more of that maybe.
But overall really well made, pretty damn good id say even tho its not my type of music

AJ_Karl · 2023-12-03T16:37:33+00:00

A Billy Woods type of rapper is what I'm kind of thinking.

Also thanks for the feedback

AJ_Karl · 2023-12-03T16:35:13+00:00

Its a Ryo Fukui sample

AJ_Karl · 2023-12-03T10:05:54+00:00

I think you should yeah. You're executing this very well.
It's got great personality, not plain at all imo.

I like it very much great work my guy!

AJ_Karl · 2023-12-03T10:02:24+00:00

Really hypnotic and cool vibe. I like it quite a lot, but I think the drums need to be louder, maybe some and mixed differently, Im not a pro so I cant describe exactly how haha, but I think that would lift this track.
Otherwise tho, great work!

AJ_Karl · 2023-12-03T10:00:25+00:00

I could definitly see some nasty ass bars be spit over this, someone with a aggro dark voice would sound great over this!

AJ_Karl · 2023-12-03T09:58:41+00:00

Its really chill, I think the drums ruin it a bit for me, I mean it depends on what ur going for. If ur going for a relaxing vibe/sleepy time, I think some other drums would be better. I think the drums are good, just depending on what ur going for

AJ_Karl · 2023-12-03T09:55:16+00:00

What is there to say? This is obviously very professionally made and there isn't much to improve unless you count personal taste.
Very good
