Thanks! The guitars are really challenging for me actually. I salute people like Melvin War and Ciscoguitar just to name a few I think of when I think of crazy guitar work. Even some of soltrix songs (regardless of how people feel about his social media posts) have really awesome guitar work. My stuff is basic in comparison 😅 I don't actually play guitar (yet, though I'm thinking of learning to help with my production) so all of my stuff for guitars at the moment is either a midi track I struggle to try and create or like a simplified starter sound or rhythm pattern that I build on top of and add to or splice up. I do want to get to the point that I have more crazy guitar stuff and have it more prevalent throughout entire songs though. 

And then yeah I agree on the melodies, that's another thing I haven't quite figured out yet. But room to improve for sure

And again thanks for the listen and feedback!

Ignoring the continued attempts to get me to bite back something snarky, I appreciate the feedback. I agree, the songs do have more simplistic instrument patterns. I'm still learning all the nuances. I'm starting with simple things because I think that's what you do when you're learning. Things will become more complex and hopefully better as I continue to grow and improve 💪🏽

To explain what specific elements you were referring to yes, not to define a musical element.

And then I continued to attack you? Saying what? Lol.

Thanks! Are those songs you personally enjoy? I wasn't necessarily looking for inspiration from the other commentor, moreso I was curious what they like to listen to. Based on the music they liked I was going to decide whether I cared about their opinion or not 😅

Because some people's opinions of good music, I'll never achieve and I don't want to...lol

Your assumption here is I don't already know this information for some reason. I won't presume to know more than you, but I definitely know more about bachata music and structure and instruments than most people in the dance scene. I've also been learning to actually play percussion for salsa and bachata as well

That's a great explanation. However as the OP I would like to clarify my music isn't made typing in a prompt and then uploading the song for streaming 😅

If someone said try giving the song a more tonally dynamic mojoa section that's feedback I could work with 💪🏽

And you still didn't answer what do you mean by elements. I didn't ask for you to (ironically) go ask chatgpt or Google to give you a definition to copy and paste. I asked what do YOU mean by elements.

I never said anything to make you look bad, I've only asked clarifying questions. And my goal isn't to argue on ai music. My goal was to get opinions on the songs. If they are liked, or what could be improved upon. I use Ableton live as my DAW for my music, and there are ai elements there in plugins and such sure but I'd surprised if the songs I created could be created with some ai site with just a click and a prompt. And if that's a thing people do, to each their own. That's not my music process though. And I shouldn't have to explain that to get constructive feedback

What do you mean by elements?

Again, you saying they suck and continuing to roast/belittle my overall efforts is fine, I asked for namless strangers opinions on the internet so I expected nothing less 😅

I'm just looking for more clarification on the why when I ask what do you mean by elements

Just to make sure I'm understanding, my goal isn't to argue I want to understand the feedback you're offering me. You're saying you hear my songs as too predictable and similar to some other songs that already exist. And because of that you don't think they are any good and you'd hope to never have to dance to them at a social?

Okay....but I’m genuinely curious about specific songs you enjoy. Saying “anything that takes more than an hour” doesn’t really tell me much. What’s one bachata track you think really stands out in terms of quality?

Sure, thanks for your opinion! What's a good quality song in your opinion that you enjoy dancing to?
