Rough Edge - One Hour Challenge - EphyMusic

Description : So, I started this morning. I had this idea in my head: I wanted to make a song that starts in 3/4, and transitions to 4/4. I thought it would be great for a 1-hour push. I got the song done in about 54 minutes, still had 6 more, so I mastered it to the best of my ability. I had to stop at 1 hour, of course. So I did. I apologize if it doesn't sound to great. Anyhow, It's short because I wanted it to be short. I just wanted to exemplify the idea I had, that 3/4 to 4/4. Hope you all like it!

Had to absolutely DESTROY those drums, though.

Note: This isn't ACTUALLY Drum and Bass, but Looperman doesn't have IDM so it's the closest thing.

This is really good for one hour, how'd you manage to get the beat done in that amount of time, it sounds great

It was actually just quick work for me. I tend to make drum patterns by beat boxing the beat out while I make it. But the glitchiness was done with just slicing the patterns really fine and such. Not too hard.

Yo.

This is some pretty powerful stuff and very good for only one hour.

Compelling, kind of pretty intro. Good soundtrack music, actually.

Then some massive bass and distorted, crunchy percussion. Sounds like a fat, very fast d'n'b groove might drop. But it doesn't.

Good to hear you're working on a fuller mix as this is well worth pursuing. Master isn't bad though maybe it's a bit too loud.

2:41 nice arp outro. In a fuller version, perhaps the fast d'n'b drums drop after 8 bars or so of that outro arp and then we're into the second half, with perhaps the first 3/4 half returning in 4/4 time.

What do you think?

Nice grunge to it. Kind of industrial sci fi like. Really good for 54 minutes of work. Master is not bad either. Like those synths. Really nice execution and arrangement

The ambient track I finished tonight. Got some ideas just watching a movie.
I used a tiny fragment from a Paperkup's track - Bits of a piece.

Description : This is hardcore hip hop. Very Dr DRE, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj style with a euro dance vibe /feel and with a hip hop beat. Lot's of bass in the track too. Hope you enjoy my new rap track. I have edited the previous track since I am allowed only 1 upload per day here. This is the final mastered version. The previous version had mastering problems which I have adjusted here.
