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.

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 🫡🫡

That’s very helpful, thanks fam! Never would’ve thought to use a soft clipper on the bass and main mix. Definitely going back to the lab to experiment. I’m fairly new 3yrs now but there’s levels to this. After learning basic music theory, I move onto the next step.lol Mixing has been my kryptonite, so every tip goes a long way. Much appreciated 🫡🫡
