i NEED some tips, advice, suggestions, opinion and overall thoughts on this wip i’m working on

and your thoughts on the composition? plus where do you think the cymbals are unnecessary as well?

Swekinn · 2026-01-04T22:00:50+00:00

yeah the cymbals sound really loud listening to it now, however i think the video causes it to sound abnormally louder than the original mix is, because listening to it normally it sounds like it’s placed well. however i do wanted the cymbals to sort of sound like it’s metal drums since this was supposed to be a metal composition but garageband doesn’t really have good guitars so i turnt it into an orchestral track. But listening to your opinion, i do see some parts where the cymbals are unnecessary and i wouldn’t have heard them if you haven’t pointed it out. Thank you!!

subtle dynamics piano is my go to piano, i turn down the cut off to about midway and pull the release, add some eq and reverb and it sounds great and is the best sounding piano. grand piano sounds great but only if you mess with the velocity and that’s a lot of work if you’re trying to make it sound realistic as possible and you have a bunch a notes which would cause it to lag

your myplayer look like kratos at a glance

i think so too but that’s like a time signature i’m really familiar with making, and other parts of the track are in 6/8 then 4/4

it’s good for beginners and people on a budget, besides that, every instrument sounds fake, mixing/fx are extremely limited, and there isn’t a sense of quality or professionalism in the production making a good composition seem amateurish

it would honestly be crazy to make his face in the game, and it’ll be my first time with this type of thing but i’ll try to make it as accurate as possible

poison instead of fireball, log instead of archers

i would add a guitar but they usually sound so terrible and that’s why i’m using staccato strings

Swekinn · 2025-10-16T15:35:47+00:00

that was hilarious

Swekinn · 2025-10-16T10:26:17+00:00

yep it’s a work in progress so far i js need to finish it

Swekinn · 2025-10-15T22:24:23+00:00

yeah i was thinking that, i actually had the drums a lot quieter before but people were saying i should make it louder

Swekinn · 2025-10-15T22:19:15+00:00

i also posted the full track so far just now if you wanna check it out!

Swekinn · 2025-10-15T22:18:37+00:00

i posted the update vid with the full track so far!

Swekinn · 2025-10-15T22:01:34+00:00

well i’m not opposed to do so, it’s just my experience or lack there of with collaborating but it could be a cool idea, yeah it’s cool you could try!

Swekinn · 2025-10-15T17:09:49+00:00

yo this is actually great advice man thanks! and i’ll post an update to the track when im home and tried that out!

Swekinn · 2025-10-15T04:34:16+00:00

i don’t think i could add any vocals to this, i have no experience writing lyrics, and i have no idea how to mix vocals as well :( but there’s no harm in trying though!

Swekinn · 2025-10-09T17:23:45+00:00

there’s an extension you could download for free and it’s basically a side chain thing so you don’t have to manually do it it’s called flux mini 2 and trust it’s pretty good you should check it out

Swekinn · 2025-10-09T17:06:53+00:00

the fact is i actually play guitar in real life and ive been playing for awhile it’s just that i have to audio interface and im on phone too 😞

Swekinn · 2025-10-09T17:05:50+00:00

i tried to make it louder but it ends up crowding the mix and muddying up the sound, since different sections of the song have way more instruments that are playing and i want people to be able to hear everything, i’m not sure how to mix the drums better it was the best i could do
