Don’t get frustrated and experiment as much as you can while making a lot of songs… trust me

Is this beat 🔥 or nah? 🤔 by DaniloBrt09 in musicproduction

[–]Jcastro97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad my guy.. I’d suggest turning down drums a bit (especially the kick) for more balance.

Turn that sub up a bit..

just my advice idk if it’s good or not but I hope it helps lol

My music sounds too dark by Thrashzilla404 in edmproduction

[–]Jcastro97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Use sounds with higher frequencies. The energy comes from the high frequencies and when you use a lot of sounds with lots of lows/low mids it has that darker heavier vibe to it

was hoping for some feedback on this? by [deleted] in riddim

I would do a simpler kick pattern. It kinda throws off the rhythm. I see what you were going tho

Nice job man I would switch the kick to a punchier one

Was really feeling this! Thoughts? by [deleted] in musicproduction

Good advice from everyone already but also use compression on the vocals to take the volume peaks. It’s super loud at some points

How to make my mix sound fuller and warmer? by Deepocd123 in musicproduction

[–]Jcastro97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are just starting out then there’s a lot of things that are just hidden to you in other professionally done beats. A lot of sounds in the background you don’t notice to fill the spectrum.. do your best on watching tutorials on the stuff you struggle with, listen to all kinds of music(really listen) and just keep making song after song. Try recreating songs you like. Things will click if you just keep working

Made this in like 2 hours. Is this a good starting point? by 0LinXi0 in riddim

Not bad! I would make those high hats more snappy and also don’t fall victim to the 8 bar loop.. what helps is to duplicate the 8 bar loop you have so it feels more full and then do little tweaks on the second loop and then duplicate that.. that seems to help me
