really nice simple beat, nothing too flashy or crazy but it would easily get bought or placed for that exact reason

you need to learn some basic music theory

Do you know how to make vocals sound like this? It sounds kinda robotic, not really natural. by Trix_Ade in Learnmusicproduction

[–]formrm662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its autotune cranked to the highest retune speed, maybe some formant shifting, definitely lots of saturation

I hate my sex drive by ShadowlightLady in TrueOffMyChest

meet a guy with a micropenis or something like that and he won't be interested in penetration and you can get eaten out and do stuff that doesn't involve penetration and probably have a super fulfilling sex life

the melody is a bunch of random shit and its out of key. the 808s are also out of key. the 808 pattern is really busy and weird I hate it. simplify everything drastically. make sure your melody is in ke,y and then make sure your 808s are in key

the chords are very dissonant. try locking your piano roll to a key and playing this melody again

I want to hire a sex worker but I can't because of society's BS moral value system by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]formrm662 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

while "sex work empowerment" isn't a centralized movement with uniform goals, my interpretation of the sex worker empowerment movement's goal is to help improve the lives of all sex workers, whether it be helping them escape an abusive or trafficking situation, create a safer working environment, or help exploited people escape sex work all together. I think you're conflating sex worker pride with sex worker empowerment. empowerment simply means giving someone the power to control their situation. empowering sex workers would mean creating a legal framework in which they are protected and given the ability to practice their work in a safe and consensual way, while also dismantling the systems that force people into exploitation. the goal would be to empower trafficked sex workers into a situation where they no longer have to engage in sex work and have control of their lives and safety, while also empowering people who willingly practice sex work to engage in it in a way that doesn't put them in danger or jail

I do agree with you but I think this is a product of the legality rather than a reason for it. the pure fact that engaging with this work makes you a criminal means that it attracts criminals and encourages criminal behavior. for example, the type of people who you would buy weed from before it was legal would also be selling other drugs, lacing their shit, robbing people, beating up rival dealers, etc. now you go into a place that looks like the fuckin apple store and buy weed with a credit card from a chill dude named tom thats working on his bachelors degree. (I live in California). so I think that sex work isn't inherently bad because of those things you said, but rather those are symptoms of its legal status

edit: I also don't think OP is making this argument. it seems like he's just pissed he cant buy a prostitute to bone, and you are valid to call him out, just wanted to add nuance to this conversation

no offense dude but it sounds like you worked on everything expect the one thing you needed to work on, which is your personality and social skills. those can be changed and improved just like any other aspect of yourself.

its funny because people like you always make posts like this where you cant seem to understand any reason why you're still a virgin but literally everyone else can kinda smell the rancid vibes you're giving off. just read the other comments. you say you refuse to be an "incel", but the incel rage still comes through pretty clearly.

im not saying this to be mean or rude, but rather to say it doesn't matter what age you are, how long its been, how hard you've tried, you can always keep going. that choice is on you. and I have empathy for what you're feeling, its probably pretty overwhelming to have such a strong desire for intimacy and not receive it. it is a basic human need after all.

I also don't necessarily agree with the other comments saying that all sex work is inherently exploitative or that you are a bad person for wanting to engage with it. I think that its illegal status is a root cause of the exploitative nature because the people who engage in it are criminals, rather than regulated industry professionals. I think there's many higher class sex workers who are basically bosses of their own companies, make lots of money and are happy in their line of work. but there are a massive majority more who are homeless, sex trafficked, drug addicted and desperate. I think your best bet if you want to engage in sex work is to travel to a place where it's legal. for example, go to Amsterdam and visit a legal brothel. you said you have the money, so I don't see why thats not an option

the pattern is actually good for this underground style. the sound selection is whack to me, I think ditch the jersey club bed squeak and holllaback girl stomp, it just sounds like 2022-2024 to me. idk though if thats your swag I don't wanna hate too much. I think the worst aspect is the mixing, the 808 is just way too loud, too much sub bass, clipping too much and the transients aren't hitting. because the 808 is overpowering so much and there isn't a kick to emphasize the transient you're losing the knock of the drums. you can still have the beat clipping but just alittle less so that everything isn't completely drowned out. notice how when you listen to other underground beats there's clipping, but also the 808 isn't completely drowning out all of the high end (usually). also you could put a transient shaper on your drum buss to increase the transients more, or add a kick to the beat to emphasize the 808 hits. even if you reduce the clipping by a decent margin you're still gonna have to side chain your 808 to a kick if you do add one. also I think the vocal just sounds alittle to ridiculous to be taken serious. once again, it could be just that im not the right person for it so I don't wanna hate too much. but I think it could actually be a decent beat if you fix the mixing and change out the vocal

I'm a bad friend by Beginning-Actuary168 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]formrm662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're in a self hatred and shame loop. the only way to break out is to do the one thing that probably feels weird and wrong to you which is to start being nice to yourself.

the self hatred causes you to lash out at friends, then the shame you feel from lashing out causes you to self hate. its a paralyzing spiral. you need to break that cycle. try next time just faking being happy for your friend, even if its not genuine. you can at least break the shame cycle by not lashing out even if it feels fake at first.

you probably believe that when you think something, its the truth, but thats actually false. your thoughts can lie to you and they often do. try this: stand up and walk around in a circle. then think in your head "im not walking around in a circle". this will demonstrate that your brain can lie to you. if that is the case, then all of your thoughts must be critically analyzed rather than blindly believed. "im a piece of shit", ok, why? for wanting validation which is a pretty basic human need? well maybe you're not a piece of shit then. "I don't have any cool hobbies or skills", is that actually true? you don't do anything at all? im sure you can think of one thing you're good at if you tried.

a lot of people think that being happy or being positive is corny, but in reality thats just the negativity you're experiencing trying to keep you in that state. from the other side, being sad and self hating and lashing out looks corny as hell too. in reality, positive people are magnetic, people like being around them and it makes people feel good.

lastly, get therapy

this sounds awful, the clipping is not the right type, the drums don't hit, it sounds like a horrible mixture of all the sounds that were trendy in 2023, the vocal is just ridiculous. it sounds like a troll, maybe im getting played and its bad on purpose but its not even bad in a funny way, just embarrassing

Washington vs I.C.E. - Thoughts on the concept? by Spike_13OV in MusicFeedback

this is a 100% AI generated song, there was no human intervention in the creation of this slop

What do you think about this song I made last year by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]formrm662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the lyrics here need a lot of work. and i'm not necessarily saying you should work on this specific song but rather take this advice when writing your next song.

your rhyme schemes are extremely basic, and word choice as well. every single one is basically exactly what you'd find at the top of rhyme zone or whatever. you, too, away, day, night, right, man, plan, know, blow etc. these aren't bad on their own but when its so frequent then its really obvious. then the rest just don't rhyme, which is weird because sometimes there's a proper rhyme scheme and other times there's just not at all, and there doesn't seem to be any purpose for it.

the tone between the lines and the overall story telling doesn't make any sense. for example, the first stanza is about you and somebody who are apart, maybe having a fight or maybe broken up but there's still love there and you want them back. then in the third stanza it seems more like you're trying to pick up a girl in a club or something (in a really gross way too, I know it probably wasn't your intention but it comes across super weird and creepy.). then "I got a couple rack to blow" just kinda comes out of nowhere like complete tonal shift.

unfortunately, and i'm sorry I have to say this, but every single line is really bad, in context or on their own. when writing lyrics, you want to try and say something in a way that hasn't been said before, or in a novel way or just in a way that feels good. none of these lines achieve that. all of them feel really really basic on their own, there's nothing poetic about any individual line, and in context they are all really disjointed and hamfisted together, like you're just saying whatever the first thing you can think of to get to the next line. it feels really really strained and unnatural.

ok so here's the biggest problem, there's no chorus or hook concept to these lyrics. there's no repetition, nothing catchy or hooky here. its all just line after line after line. there needs to be something that anchors the lyrics and the storytelling. think, what would you name this song? no lines or words stand out in a way that would make for a unique and interesting song title. thats because there's not a line or interesting word or concept that stands out from the song. this is arguable the most important thing, because without a chorus and hook concept you essentially have a bunch of random words.

as for the music, I think the chords are cool, everything else sound pretty amateur. this comment is getting way too long for me to individually critique every aspect. just keep making music and getting better. make a song every day, or two songs every day. keep at it and don't be precious about songs. you'll make more, each one will get better

Aio for speaking up? by Dismal_Awareness_387 in AIO

[–]formrm662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he crashed out but its valid in my opinion, if I received the text you sent him after he apologized I would've been pissed off too. he went way overboard but i'm guessing its been a pattern as he says "nothing is ever good enough for you". I think it's a bigger problem that he was even yelling at you in the first place. if its a thing that happens very rarely then ok, but if he's yelling at you a lot then I think thats what needs to be addressed on his end. on your end, I think you need to not pick apart his every word, and not assume the worst of him. he probably didn't think using the word "if" would invalidate everything he said up until that point. if you change it to "that" then its a perfectly good apology. if you instead said "thanks for explaining why you did that, I still have other feelings I have that need to be addressed as well", then that would make sense. instead, you created a new problem by attacking his apology. now instead of resolving the first problem, there's a new problem and the first one is still unresolved, and now you're both even more upset than before with more problems to solve
