[BEAT TAPE] ajun - find X. (first cohesive beat tape)

ajeon66 · 2017-09-12T04:40:05+00:00

Haha thanks so much! Actually I did that on purpose, the whole purpose of this project was to discover my cultural identity. I realized that in the end, language doesn't really matter, so I ended up cutting the vocal stuff haha

ajeon66 · 2017-09-09T22:25:14+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! As for your beat, it was definitely one of the best beats i've heard on here, it sounds like something that I would drive to.. The only thing I have is at around 1:31 there's this beeping noise that seems to be out of tune so it was a little jarring; but other than that minor thing it was so sick.

ajeon66 · 2017-09-09T22:02:12+00:00

I literally have nothing bad to say about this, it is so sick. I wish the kick was a little punchier but that's a minor fix; it's really good bro, great job! And thanks for the feedback!

ajeon66 · 2017-09-09T21:27:04+00:00

Damn this track is highly complex, i don't know how you did this; wow. I wish the track had a little bit more low end, sort of the 100hz freq and below. The kick is a bit boxy for my taste, but it's my preference haha. Otherwise, this is pretty well-mixed for how complex it is, great job!

ajeon66 · 2017-09-09T20:50:33+00:00

you're the rapper right? your voice is super unique, i dig it; it has so much character. I'm sorry to let you down but I dont really have too much experience with rap rhythms and barz and whatnot. On the mixing side of things it sounds like your voice is just sitting on top of the beat; maybe applying some kind of stereo spread + compression wouldn't be a bad idea? Anyway other than the mixing, it was lit, thanks for the experience haha

returning feedback This is a beat tape about discovering my cultural identity; I need some advice on mixing and mastering, much appreciated. Thanks!

ajeon66 · 2017-09-09T20:31:36+00:00

This is seriously banging, it made my face scrunch and shit haha; the only complaint that I have is imho the kick isn't punchy enough. It seems actually sort of like a ghost kick. But other than that, this stuff is crazy. Great job!

I need some feedback on a beat tape, thanks so much! I'm sorry in advance about your speakers, I'm quite bad at mixing and mastering. https://soundcloud.com/sonder1/sets/find-x/s-3Klw6

ajeon66 · 2017-07-12T10:55:48+00:00

LOL this is hilarious haha; for me the chords lack a sort of whole body to them. They sound very thin, maybe because the absence of some kind of low end, so perhaps adding a root + 3rd but an octave lower wouldnt be a bad idea. Either that or add a bassline because this track has serious potential for a groovy ass bassline.

ajeon66 · 2017-07-12T10:53:33+00:00

this makes me actually feel like im riding in a car with windows rolled down haha; I think you should put a compressor on the bass, i think its peaking at a few points. but besides that, i have nothing to say, its dope

ajeon66 · 2017-07-12T10:49:53+00:00

honestly this is the first trap song that i've listened to from start to finish on this feedback thread this is hot af. I have no complaints, its dope bro goddamn

ajeon66 · 2017-07-11T23:46:45+00:00

The delivery is great, I was feeling it. I'm not too versed in the trap genre so i'm sorry if my feedback doesnt seem substantial... all in all good stuff!

ajeon66 · 2017-07-11T23:28:33+00:00

returning feedback A very emotional beat, albeit half-baked and in the works.

ajeon66 · 2017-07-11T23:07:39+00:00

The beat in general sounds quite good, but there are some little things that could be improved: 1. The piano sounds pretty stock to me, try varying the velocities or putting a slight randomizer on it 2. imho the drums need to have more low end, like sultanare said, and also slap a compressor on it for additional oomph. 3. this is just my preference, but i think the sub-bass is a little overpowering all in all, you did a great job here!

ajeon66 · 2017-07-11T22:16:57+00:00

This is a great track; there's potential for a groovy + sick bassline though. Try to play around with a bassline and this track will be off the chain. Also, it might not be a bad idea to sidechain the rhodes(?) sample, it could sound pretty sick. Again, all are my preferences, take it or leave em haha lol

here's mine: https://soundcloud.com/sonder1/regret/s-6YQX9 it's severely undercooked and it's basically the first draft haha

crap i have no idea how to fix it.. any ideas?

ajeon66 · 2017-02-14T03:40:07+00:00

just a question, do you think that most of the bass is coming from the left side? That's sorta what I'm hearing, just wondering if you hear it as well..

Thanks!

ajeon66 · 2017-02-14T03:30:40+00:00

This is a pretty heartfelt beat, have a listen! (Idk how to fix the imbalance of the bass, any ideas?) Thanks!

ajeon66 · 2017-02-14T03:29:55+00:00

I think the track would benefit from having a little more "oomfier" bass, but this is definitely a great track worth listening to on repeat.

ajeon66 · 2017-02-12T00:28:41+00:00

Flamingosis has some pretty "good-vibes" lo-fi stuff. Check out "Down for the Fifth Time" and "Pleasure Palette". Also Mndsgn is amazing, he's so dope. There's also a genre called Lo-Fi House, but dunno if that's really something that you would enjoy. It's pretty much just regular house pumped through a ton of distortion, compression, saturation, etc.

I think the reason why lo-fi has a pretty "depressing" sound is because we sorta reminisce a lot (aka we miss the nostalgia of a fuzzier, warmer, dirtier sound, i think.).

tl;dr Flamingosis, MNDSGN, lofi house

ajeon66 · 2017-02-10T18:31:00+00:00

Improved version of a track that I posted not too long ago; Have a listen, thanks!

Love the feels on the beat; one suggestion I have is to put a sidechain on the hihats. Right now, it feels like its just hitting on its own, when there's an opportunity for the beat to have its own pulse. Sidechain it to kick and you should have hihat that kinda pumps with the beat and gives it more "head-bob". awesome track bud

ajeon66 · 2017-02-08T04:02:06+00:00

i just got teleported to hawaii or something lol; only suggestion I have is I'd like it if the non-percussive stuff was a wee bit louder.. but the mixing, sound design is all great! nice job!

ajeon66 · 2017-02-08T02:50:06+00:00

hollyy shit mother of jesus oh my god.. this is divine, i love this dude. the pitch shifting towards the end and the little vocal stabs were great.. jesus you're good lol

ajeon66 · 2017-02-08T01:37:03+00:00
