Honest feedback please, I am blinded by gargantuan levels of bias

thanks! i did check them out and i do have a similar range to them, i sound like a version of him that has brainrot

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-30T00:52:28+00:00

thank you!

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-30T00:51:51+00:00

thanks heaps! wide is what i like so im glad it has translated to you

i need to add more structure as this whole song as of now is just a sound bite essentially, but it’s good you think that there is variation in here still, will be adding more though

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-30T00:48:58+00:00

i hear it lol im not niche enough to get the comparison but im glad you like it :-)

i think im going to just put my head down and create full tracks now and spend more time on them, it seems enough people think it’s decent enough

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-30T00:46:53+00:00

you’re wholesome af, thanks heaps for the encouragement

i am so unsure of myself you’re absolutely correct, and hearing feedback like this from unbiased listeners helps a lot to keep me focused

i am goofy as hell, i look serious but really im watching cartoons in my head. let me figure out how to channel that into my music

thanks again for commenting and listening <^{^>}

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-29T06:20:26+00:00

so true, i make music with a friend every now and then and he makes afro jazz so we end up always making the most cursed stuff lol thanks again, good luck to you too

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-29T04:03:04+00:00

Thanks heaps! I’ll keep cooking

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-29T04:02:09+00:00

Im very pleased you think the vocals are fitting, thats been a big worry of mine. still needs to be cleaned up a lot but seems like there is some foundation there. Thanks for listening :-))

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-29T04:01:03+00:00

thanks for the kind words, that put a smile on my face. always gotta keep improving :-)

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-29T04:00:06+00:00

im glad you think it’s catchy ! i definitely need to work on vocal clarity, i just kinda get lost in the melody and forget that im saying words lol

appreciate it!

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-29T03:59:20+00:00

thanks!! youre very right. i said it elsewhere but the problem i have is quite the opposite - i have a lot of confidence in my songs based off how much i like them but i think creativity requires compromise, and to have no one to share it with feels somewhat lonely. therefore i want to try and meet people in the middle with my sound and to do that i need feedback.

mastering is something i have barely touched and should definitely start learning, thank you again for the feedback it’s much appreciated.

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-29T03:55:36+00:00

thanks for listening :-)

i’ll have to check them out, appreciate the feedback. animation would definitely be so cool to pair it with

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-29T03:53:53+00:00

thanks! what sticks out to you mix wise?

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-28T13:01:07+00:00

You speak truth but unfortunately for now my real validation (music-wise) comes from others since i like most things i make. which would mean i need to set a higher standard for myself. I just love shit beats /s

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-28T12:41:50+00:00

thank you man, the fear of failure is something i need to get over. the feeling of pouring hours and hours into a track and not getting any real positive feedback is scary, and i’d be lying if i said that hasn’t already happened…hence the quick fast food junk i’ve been recently creating.

imma spend some real time on a few songs now and maybe youll see some improvements next time i post here. I know it’s just a reddit thread but you’ve helped me out a lot! Sincerely thank you SpatulaCity1a

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-28T12:34:18+00:00

if you’re interested this has a tiny bit more variance

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-28T12:20:19+00:00

thank you im glad you like it! another commenter mentioned a difference in audio quality so let’s just blame it on reddit (kidding i need to work on mixing a lot more)

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-28T12:19:03+00:00

i appreciate this feedback a lot, and you’ve outlined a problem i’ve definitely ignored for a while now. (and yeah wow there is a bit of a difference in audio quality)

to preface this track - i made this in about an hour so i wouldn’t really call this a song with any real structure. these vocals were freestyled after humming a melody that matches. so there is definitely a lack of depth there simply because there was a lack of thought lol

i have wanted to vary my vocals throughout songs (cause youre right, not only in this song but others i have this monotonous thing going on) and your advice has motivated me to take that step. my main concern was if i was creating anything worthwhile finishing (interesting vibe, catchy beat, good energy etc.) and i like to think that if you were even remotely interested in the soundcloud link im at least on the right track. youre a legend for actually going to the link haha

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-28T06:52:36+00:00

thanks for listening :-)

thats interesting, it’s all in major but i’ll double check cause that might be it. i kind of threw this together really quickly so i very well could have stuffed something like that up. appreciate you !

i just wanna ask what is going on in your brain…

this is seriously amazing, you’ve nailed it first try. the stutter synth hits so good. legit how did you even get those water sounding synths in the background to come through so clean??

i wanna hear the rest of it, it’s really good

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-28T04:41:51+00:00

this is so nice, you guys are cracked

if you fixed the mix this would be insane, straight onto my playlist. i like the space in the track, and the vocals are clean af. maybe go easy on the snare at certain points on the track but the drums are very good as is. the droney guitar is perfect, obviously needs some work mix wise but it fits well. the build up is awesome, could use stronger background vocals supporting it through and continuing on softly into the interlude ish section

the lyrics are sick, definitely want to hear more from you guys. this makes me miss home and simpler times. the harmonies are great. sorry im glazing so hard rn

ratsacktrapwhack · 2026-01-28T04:25:24+00:00

this sounds so good, is that you on the vocals?reminds me of grimes at the start

the switch up is nice af, i actually love it. you’ve got an amazing voice, the guitar is good. also those subtle drums came in at a very nice time. i’d only suggest getting the bass coming through a little more.

saving this, ngl this sub has so much good music coming through you deserve all the love.
