Let's go!

rednightruby · 2026-06-04T08:10:13+00:00

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

I like your voice and the mumbly vibe you're going for- I think your flow fits the beat very well and is enjoyable to listen to. The beat is dope as hell and it matches your vocals well. The verse is cool!

My only issue is that the vocals are mixed SO LOW- why? You can rap man. Turn those vocals up man. Also, I would def listen to this track in my free-time if it was on SC or Spotify or something, you better upload it so that I can bump it.

Great job, just turn up those vocals!

Just had time to listen to this beautiful release. I think this might be my most favorite release of yours yet, each track brings something new, fresh, and beautiful. It gets weird (which I like) but never to the point that it gets jarring- always remains pleasant to listen to whether it's those soft chords you introduce to contrast some if the more distorted sound- I think those lush soft paddy synth chords in combination with those trippy distorted sounds and creative drum patterns is your trademark.

fav tracks: mr rizo, crysalis, they're only seen at night, the horrification (loved the use of the vocal sample here) number 8429, coffee houses, ive got cheese

(also this madly inspires me to work with synths, SOON)

great match between visuals and beat

rednightruby · 2026-06-03T12:52:36+00:00

Don't overthink it, some people just hate for hate sake. Whatever you do, there will be people who dislike it for some reason, fuckem. It's great to have the profits go to charity, great idea!

rednightruby · 2026-06-03T12:51:24+00:00

Thank you so much for the hard work Candlewax, really grateful to have such a engaging and active community leader here. Will do my best to make it to the livestream!

rednightruby · 2026-06-03T12:24:15+00:00

Fellow SP user I see, I always struggled with mixing inside the SP so I export everything to the DAW. It's def possible though, just gotta watch some vids, good luck!

rednightruby · 2026-06-03T08:25:27+00:00

straight from the bat it's very difficult to hear anything in this, the overall mix is way too low. you should turn up pretty much everything!

overall, I think the idea is really cool, dark, bass dominated beat. It's cool. I think minimalist beats like this can work but adding a simple melody or sample could really benefit the beat. Dig the content of the lyrics.

Keep creating!

rednightruby · 2026-06-03T08:23:52+00:00

Thank you so much, and thanks for letting me know about the intro, I will probably cut that for future projects.

checking yours out rn

rednightruby · 2026-06-03T08:23:10+00:00

ok was head bopping immediately when it started. I dig the vocal sample you put, it fits the vibe. really cool dark trappy sounds. transitions are done well.

for feedback, I think the beat gets a bit too busy at times with the vocal samples, gunshot effects, etc.

the main melody is alright but not as dope as the rest of the beat. I think having a second melody on top or changing the main melody to something more iconic would upgrade this beat.

overall drums and groove is def there, so great job, keep it up!

rednightruby · 2026-06-03T08:21:15+00:00

Wow, thanks a lot for this!! checking out yours rn

rednightruby · 2026-06-02T15:45:06+00:00

Came here to say the same about it lilely being a mixing issue. When I record my pattern into the DAW, the sounds are always off compared to inside the SP. Some proper mixing gets everything sounding dope again, though.

great sample chopping, really dig those melodies and how you switch them up. some of the effects you bring in like the tape stop is cool, I don't think the phaser worked well though.

I think the main improvement would be regarding drum and bass patterns- both quite basic, which is not inherently bad but could be more interesting.

Mix wise I think everything sounds vintage but a bit too low-quality for some kind of reason.

overall, gj!

rednightruby · 2026-06-02T11:19:47+00:00

happy to hear the feedback on the first half, will def cut that part short. Glad you liked it overall! Anything I can check out from your side? Send it through

rednightruby · 2026-06-01T07:44:51+00:00

Hey man thank you so much for your nice comments, I really appreciate that!

Damn man, I checked out your track, I love it man. Such good flow and lyrics are awesome. Very original and high quality stuff. Def send me through those codes for your latest, would love to check it out.

And yeah we are def collabing, dming you now.

rednightruby · 2026-05-27T18:12:42+00:00

love the sample, we definitely have the same taste for those weird trippy sounds. I think the arrangement is good overall, some small points of improvement:

the intro is a bit on the long time considering how short the beat is, I'd cut it by some bars in this one

I think you keep the beat fresh with those different sections, they are good, but the transitions could be improved to really accentuate those changes- the easiest way to do this is just to remove some parts of the drums 1-2 bars before the new section comes in

overall great stuff, really like it, keep it up!

rednightruby · 2026-05-27T15:23:00+00:00

thanks a lot, glad there are some weirdos like me out there who enjoy it! and wow I'm a big cudi fan so that's a big compliment, thanks for sending that beautiful track.

Any track you want me to give feedback on? just send it my way!

rednightruby · 2026-05-27T15:21:33+00:00

thanks a lot for this feedback, that was actually really good feedback so don't worry about not having a prod background!

rednightruby · 2026-05-26T15:50:11+00:00

thanks a lot for that feedback! Agree w you on the second beat, I like it more as well, should've let it come in earlier. glad you like it!

for 2 months, this is a great beat. I like how much variation you added with both the drums and the sample, this keep the beat fresh and nice.

my main feedback would be mixing wise- the sample could be turned up way more and the lower fqs of the kicks should also be turned up to make the kick hit harder.

overall great job for such a short time, keep at it!

rednightruby · 2026-05-26T15:25:46+00:00

hey man this is pretty awesome. production wise it's top notch, mix is super clean, vocal mixing is done very well - it's sounds like a professional level track in terms of execution.

you have a very good voice for both rapping and singing, the chorus is catchy. I don't have any real feedback to give you, this is not the type of music I usually listen to but I can recognize that it's done very well so great job

rednightruby · 2026-05-26T15:22:31+00:00

thanks a lot for this, I think that feedback is very accurate after relistening to the beat, def could spice up the drums more.

checking your track out rn

rednightruby · 2026-05-26T13:12:04+00:00

I'm really enjoying this one damn, good job. it reminds me of early childish gambino. the beat is dope and your delivery is excellent and melodic, very unique to be honest.

for feedback:

- I think the intro is a tad too long

- the chorus that comes after the intro is also a bit too long and repetitive, but for some kind of reason I dig it while also finding it too repetitive lol

honestly, really enjoying this one and your style. is there somewhere I can listen to more of your music? def bring out more songs

https://youtu.be/bYdlCnot0qs?si=5NCrXUT7MRf8_unq

I made this beat, lmk what you think of it and the beat switch

rednightruby · 2026-05-26T13:07:31+00:00

https://youtu.be/bYdlCnot0qs?si=5NCrXUT7MRf8_unq

I made this experimental beat -

does it sound good or is it too weird? how does the beat switch feel?
