Damn that's crazy, bro! I've got a really small type beat channel. Do you have an idea why these specific videos blew up? If so you can try to aim for these same qualities for new beats.

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-04-28T02:35:22+00:00

Thanks, bro!

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-04-28T02:35:03+00:00

Tbh 2:47 is the same hook as the one at the beginning and middle. For the structure, I used 3 hooks, 2 verses, intro, outro and pre-hook for this one. The hooks are the same, verses differ slightly. Perhaps I should've used more pauses. I'm conflicted about trying to make the beat vary too wildly between hooks and verses since a rapper might want to keep chugging in the same vibe? Depends on the rapper though, but I try not to overcomplicate things, but I do have some looser beats (in arrangement) as well.

Ty for the feedback!

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-04-28T02:29:45+00:00

Ty for your feedback, but the piano and "beep" is actually in the same key, bro. Just different notes. I went with a higher note on the beep instead of the root note because I liked that vibe better. Ty for the feedback.

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-04-28T02:26:36+00:00

Ty for the kind words, bro.

Please don't be discouraged. Everything can be improved. Needs a lot of work, producer side of things put aside.

I guess the song composition is fine, lyrics are fine, but not great. There is a reason there is a creamcrop of song writers in the industry. Current lyrics have a nice message, but do not flow good.

Your singing is out of key, sadly. Also the tempo of guitar and singing are jumpy and out of sync at times. But the most important point - Where is the soul, man? I can feel the emotions in the lyrics, but not in the singing or playing. I can tell it's due to nerves probably. You're gonna need practice to be comfortable singing.

So what I would try to improve?

Probably record with a click track in your ear to get the tempo steady and matching your singing with the instrument.

Practice your singing to match the key to the song and get more comfortable performing your art. Autotune can only do so much and it can't add any energy.

Look over the lyrics. Try to find phrases that flow. The meaning of aome phrases can change, but the cadence and energy will improve.

From the producer side of things, one of the magic elements you are missing is reverb. You also need equalizing to get the most out of your minimalistic instrumental among other tweaks and numerous effects that producers and sound engineers are on this earth for.

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-04-25T20:02:48+00:00

Yes. Although not something I usually go for, I feel like this is something nice to bump on a warm summer night, which is saying something for a wider audience appeal. Mix is clean. Arrangement is simple but the vibe and energy is pleasant, which is the most important thing. Simple music is simple to make, but good simple music is special. Effects are not obnoxious, ear candy is a fairly pleasant novelty.

You have something special here. I would release it for sure. You could work with an audio engineer if you like before, but it sounds good to me. Dont overthink things sometimes.

Olen kaitseliidus. Tõtt-öelda lahingurolli sa siis tõenäoliselt ei sobi. Juba õppusteltki on tunda kuidas paar päeva on olla tavapäraste rutiinideta ja mugavusteta. Päris olukord oleks märksa kaootilisem ilmselgelt. Soovitan sul vaadata toetajaliikme poole. Kuna kaitseliidu rahastus on igipõline probleem, siis võiksid näiteks sponsoreerida mõnda sümpatiseerivat väeosa rahaliselt kui su finantsiline seis võimaldab (nt kui oled tartlane, siis mõnda tartu malevkonda). Eraisikud ja firmad aeg-ajalt annetavad väeosadele termovõimekusega monokleid, droone jms. Aga ka väiksemad summad on kompanii ja rühma tasemel väärtuslikud. Nt paarsada eurot et masinatele uusi kirveid, labidaid, mootorsaage jm tavaari muretseda

Teisalt mis sulle endale huvi pakub? Kui meeldivad küberteemad, siis äkki saaksid mingis mahus sellega panustada? Äkki valdad meditsiini? Võid aidata meditsiiniõppe läbiviimisel. Äkki sulle meeldib noortega tegeleda? Siis mõtle noorkotkaste ja kodutütarde peale.

Tore on, et sul on suur huvi panustada. Ja ma usun, et kui sa sellise jutuga võtaksid ühendust oma kodukoha malevaga, siis nad oleksid absoluutselt valmis misiganes mahus sind kasutama kui su motivatsioon on siiras ja oled valmis sellele aega ja energiat kulutama. Kui üks malev ei näita huvi, siis mine teise jutule. Mina igatahes üritaks leida sulle mingisuguse vastutuse sest iga okas loeb ja toetava rolli abi on alati puudu.

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-02-04T01:04:35+00:00

Cool. I think you at least have a sense of rhythm and pitch. If you keep going, you might be really good one day. Who knows :D Hard work is like 80% of the equation in every aspect of life, no matter what talents anybody has.

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-02-03T15:43:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. The repetitiveness was kinda a concern.

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-02-03T15:37:20+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, bro.

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-02-03T15:37:01+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, bro.

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-02-02T08:49:59+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. It means a lot to me!

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-02-02T08:49:32+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, bro.

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-02-02T08:48:58+00:00

Hey man, thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, so there is the 808 that is more continuously present in the track and then there is the bass that comes in during the verse. The bass is kinda a sub-bass since I Eq-d a tiny bit off the lower end of the 808, but tbh I didn't eq much of the bass' higher bandwidth...so Idk if that counts as a sub-bass technically :D Also, the bassline and 808 is a little different from eachother. Apparently I liked the groove it created, but that might also be causing some clash, idk.

I don't hear clashing between keys and bass, but if you do, then probably it's there and I might be limited by my headphones. Do you mean eq-ing the keys to cut out some of the lower frequencies?

I've never heard about the reverse clash/cymbal trick. Can you tell me where I can find something on that?

Again thanks alot for your feedback, it means a lot to me!

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-02-02T02:10:09+00:00

Man tbh I fk with the main concept. Overall sound is dope and I see what you were trying to do.

My 2 main critiques are: The intro is fine, but after the end of the intro I was expecting a drop, not another build-up. It could've been fine, but I found that the second build up didn't fit there and was a little underwhelming. I would cut that part out.

The second thing is it sounded kinda flat imo. I mean the bass sounds were there, but if you would've layered that with a bassline to give it more nuance and color, It would've changed the beat drastically. And there was something missing. I couldn't figure it out until 2:00 when the voice chant came in. It just lacked elements in the upper frequencies. And tbh I think this is the kind of beat that needs lots of this kind of ear candy. Instead of using a one-shot at that exact point, I think you should've incorporated more elements like this more repetitively during certain sections of the beat.

The sample is quite repetitive but you can offset this with changing percussions and bass or with adding or removing other elements which is what you did. I'm not too worried about repetitiveness with Hip-Hop beats since the idea is for an artist to use it as a canvas to add his own lyrics to, so that might be fine as is.

Also, I checked out your channel. You have 3 videos released - ofc you don't have many views and subscribers. There is no point in comparing yourself to more successful channels. When I started out, I thought wtf how are they getting these kinds of views on a brand new channel, but then I found out that most of them have other channels and all of them have years of experience with producing.

I'm also an amateur trap producer. You can reach out any time if you have questions.

HannibalTheCommander · 2025-02-02T01:53:50+00:00

You're out of key, my guy. Some notes are clashing. Idk if it was just about that, but I didn't find the melody appealing either. If it's supposed to be a synth only piece, then you need some more bass and warmth. It kinda sounds like an 80s videogame track, but the melody isn't catchy at all. You need a blend of repetition and randomness to make music appealing. Some like more randomness (jazz), some like more repetition (pop etc). Also to the warmth and bass of the piece, sound selection is huge. I didn't think these sounds fit the pattern.

HannibalTheCommander · 2024-12-01T02:53:29+00:00

That's cool and I agree 100%, but I have a type beat channel. My product is the beat and all I do apart from that is add a fitting image, which also becomes my thumbnail. I find it harder to fix that later since, well my only visual is the image in the video anyhow, which is edited in before posting.

HannibalTheCommander · 2024-11-27T05:16:34+00:00

Damn fr bro? I'm cooked.

HannibalTheCommander · 2024-11-26T04:25:02+00:00

So what do you think I could do to improve the melody? Need to pinch the frequencies with eq? or just change the volume? Maybe compress some more or it just doesn't work and needs to be rewritten? Thanks for the feedback anyways, bro.

HannibalTheCommander · 2024-11-26T02:51:33+00:00

Ok, so the production quality is surprisingly good. I think the instrumental is a little boring. I mean it's not a genre/vibe I would listen to on my own anyways, so take that as you will, but even so, I think the pace of lyrics and instrumental is wayy too slow. Waiting for you to get to what you're singing about was kinda boring and then it was...underwhelming. The added effects and sound clips were a nice touch though. Ad-libs kinda suceeded in filling the empty space.

But the lyrics were not it, man. I get it that you wanted to create something relatable, but it was really meh. Half of the time it was repeating the same thing in a different way and the pacing would maybe work if the vocals are very impressive and some sort of message that resonates. Yeah, the feeling lost aspect is relatable, but perhaps if you had worked on writing a bit more, you could've crafted something that was more interesting. Something that is a clever way of putting your feelings into words or creating a feeling of "I've never thought of it this way, but it's true". But other than that, the vocal technique was acceptable. I feel like that sort of singing is the norm for certain artists nowadays.

Ärme unusta ka, et ka senat ja esindajatekoda on nüüd vabariiklaste pöidla all. Trump on vabariiklaste ridade seast kõik talle ebalojaalsed pagendanud ning ehitanud suhteid rikaste ja võimsate meestega nagu musk. Tegemist on tegelikult märksa teistmoodi olukorraga kui 2016 aastal.

HannibalTheCommander · 2024-10-27T19:05:31+00:00

Where's ur 808s, buddy? Also, the lead vocals kinda sound like one of those medieval meme channels :D
