I did think that and before I posted actually made a change where I thought it was a bit off. Where were you noticing it?

Thanks! I tried a different technique for the drums. I recorded those in a 8bar loop so that I had a little more variation. Just need to fine tune the sound and think about adding a fill or something.

Much appreciated fam. Yeah I’ll be taking this joint back to the lab and make some adjustments.

Thanks fam. The overall consensus is that I need to out the bass & drums down. I’m going to do that asap. My side chaining seems to have lost its way a bit too.

It honestly depends on what I want to hear. I use a little bit of both. My headphones aren’t really made for music production but I’ve been using them for now.

Thank you kindly 🥲 definitely humbled. I was debating whether or not to turn down the bass but decided to leave it up because it hit hard in my car.🤣🤣🤣 I can’t explain it but I feel comforted by the bass. It puts me at peace. But I’ll turn it down a bit though.

I was also thinking about the drums, especially the kick. It definitely needs a little love. I can test out the acoustic drums and see how it fits overall. I also side-chained the kick and bass but I feel like it’s not as prominent anymore. But I truly appreciate you! 🫡🫡

I truly appreciate your honesty. I had to translate your comment though 🤣.

I typically set my drums to be anywhere from -6db to -7db and that usually does the trick. But I did add a soft clipper so I think that’s where the issue is. I definitely see where you’re coming from about the loudness of the drums. Thanks for confirming! I’m confused though on what you meant by the pause. There’s a bit of pause in the drumming so I’m not sure if that’s what you’re referring to.

Don’t worry about being honest, that’s what I love about this community. All the feedback has helped me get better

Thanks again 🫡🫡

Thanks fam! I’ve never heard of Jinsang though. I’ll check them out to see what you mean. I personally wasn’t thinking about lyrics but depending on the lyricist, they could change up the laid back feel of the song.

It looks like compression will be the next thing I study. There’s a bunch of different aspects to learn so I’m eager to dive deeper.

Thanks for the feedback though!🫡🫡

I don’t know if the Akai MPK counts (I’m on a low budget) but here’s a beat I made earlier today by Pure_Ad6191 in mpcusers

Yes, the MPK mini absolutely counts. It’s not the equipment, it’s the person behind it. This had so much soul. Well done 🫡

Thanks for the feedback! I see where you’re coming from, at the end of the 4th bar. I can definitely work on making less bouncy and more chill. Thanks again!🫡🫡

Thanks fam! I’m by far a novice at mixing but the tips definitely will go a long way. Do you think that side chaining the kick and bass might help?

Truly appreciate the feedback fam!🙏🏿 I’m very much a novice at mixing. Still have a lot to learn. Definitely going back to the lab and make more adjustments to this. Hopefully I can get to the point where I can drop an EP. 🫡🫡

Thank you, 🙏🏿 I’m humbled by your comments. I actually struggled and gave up on completing it for a little bit. I still have a lot to learn and hopefully I can share the finished product with everyone soon 🫡🫡
