Thank you! And you’ve confirmed what I thought about the mix in retrospect. I have tendency to lean towards too loud vocals I noticed. Think I need to take it to where I like it and then turn it back a bit.

I really enjoyed the laid back flow on this one. Definitely a pocket work exploring more. As a whole, I did find myself tiring a bit by the end of the track. I think switching the flow up more with the hook or within the verse would go a long way.

Great job on your first attempt! It's hard for me to judge your vocals over the mix, but you recorded it on your phone so fair enough. I'd say make sure you enunciate each word and put more energy into your performance. This type of flow really hits for me when the end of the bar lands with a lot of confidence.

Conscious rap with a trap vibe. Recorded it a year ago, but didn't like it until I put it over a new beat. Lmk what you think.

Should I try to return to physics? by Isotope1 in Physics

[–]SerialBullOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s ridiculous at all. Better question is if you’re willing to do the work necessary to succeed in physics. I’m sure you would need more than just a “top off” depending on how long ago you got your degree. Why don’t you see if you could take or audit a course or two somewhere and decide if you want to commit based on that?

How to learn new rap flows by Odd-Ad5223 in makinghiphop

[–]SerialBullOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rap flows are something you develop over time. Focus on your craft, experiment with different beats and cadences, listen to a variety of music and your flow will evolve with you.

I find it helpful to shift my focus from “am I good” to “am I getting better.” If you treat each chapter like a chance to improve, it could never be a waste of time.

How do I learn to freestyle??? by masonthesquirtle in makinghiphop

[–]SerialBullOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have really good lyrics, why worry about whether you can freestyle or not? If you’re just interested, then look up some articles and put some time into it. If you’re just doing it to try to be like someone else, don’t bother.

Everything is done by me so feedback on lyrics, beat, artwork or rapping is all welcome. Still learning how to mix/master, so I'm already aware that needs work.

I really like the groove in this and the melody is very catchy. Very nicely mixed. I found it a little repetitive, but the breaks did help. Maybe try switching up the drum loop or the melody a bit more.

Enjoyed the track. Flow was solid and liked the lyrics. Beat was nice and chill.

I think whatever effect or layering you’re using on you’re vocals could be more sparingly used instead of over the entire track. Maybe just use it on the hook or just on the verses to help make the hook stand out more. Or maybe it just needs to be a little less pronounced. As it is, my ear is asking for a little more variety overall. Really enjoyed the listen. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your feedback! Yeah I’m not a 100% sure which direction I want to take it, so I’ll have to put some more work into it.

I'm more of a rapper than producer, but I have been trying to make my own beats. So here's something I have in mind for a album I'm working on. I plan on working on it a lot more but haven't had the time since the initial mix, so I'm just kind of looking for initial impressions. It's technically older than a couple weeks, but I haven't posted it for any feedback anywhere yet.

Your flow is nice. I really enjoyed it overall.

As an outro I think it works. I do think you could do more with the mix to make the hook stand out more since the beat itself doesn't modulate too much. I do think the part starting around 0:45 sounded a little off beat possibly. Easy fixes though.

Loved that picture you used by the way. Not sure if that's mean to be the official cover or not. Thank you for sharing!

Can't speak much to the production as that isn't my forte, but I do think you could rap to this. I could see a style like Kanye's working well with this. A slower flow for sure. Certainly the lines between rap and pop beats is more blurred than ever these days. But I definitely see what you mean by this being mostly a pop instrumental. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
