Real hard hitting crisp drums! It's like modern retro, wish it was longer. Sounds like it could be in cyberpunk!

Oh that intro could definitely lead into a future bass drop! As this is your second beat it's pretty good, some tips for the future would be watching Youtube on mixing and just raising the overall volume. Still a good job!

Adding on to my previous comment. Try light distortion, saturation or boosting the 808's to give them some harmonics. Aside from the kick, they take up pretty much all the low end space. As for patterns, you may notice a lot of trap only uses one note for majority of the track. I find it works well when the kick hits with the 808. Also don't have long release times on the 808 or it will clash and sound real muddy. Hope some this helps!

I don't think this is trap, I'm getting more RnB or Reggae. It's a pretty cool piece though. Trap is pretty easy, the 808 patterns are generally much more simple. Most will find a catchy guitar or piano loop and splice it up. The drums are tight and snappy. There is always a really strong hi hat pattern. Repeat it for like 3 mins with some variation in the drums and 808's every 4 bars and boom that's trap! Just make sure kick and 808 are sidechained and in key.

I love the clean acoustics! All the sfx really suit the track and the drums hold it all together nicely!

I have the weirdest sensation going on inside my ears right now, it's making my hairs stand up!

Pretty good track, I like the atmosphere! I feel like its missing some things to give the drop more energy. Sidechain to really let the kick pump the track, and stereo. Obviously stereo is good, but when your whole track sounds really wide it takes that energy away from the drop. A good tip I learned is during the build up, add and automation for volume and merged/separate or stereo/mono. Then during the entire build up, ever so slightly drop the volume down around 4% and mono as much as you need before it sound too weird, then bring it back to normal when the drop hits. Makes a big difference if done properly!

I kinda like the minimalistic vibe it has!

I'm liking the atmosphere this track gives! Real clean vocals as well!

Got some proper head bopping energy here!

I'm gonna add lyrics and see if it turns out good.
Love the melody and sounds used!

This is pretty unique! It's definitely telling a story through music. I can't tell if it reminds me of space or the deep sea.

Nice! I love that slow attack synth that swoops in. Gives the song a kind of swing.

Good stuff! I do like that old school style hip hop flow.

Ayo I used ya beat man. Let me know what you're called so I can change the title. I'm not using it for profit. Hope you don't mind.

That's a real nice vocal, keeping it as raw as possible. Harmony is on point! You definitely have a live music voice.

Some parts of the vocal are out of sync, but for your first time working around the vocals first, it's a pretty good catchy house track.

I like the power of the drums, the deep bass and the kinda mystical feel of this one!

The part where it opens up gets me every time! Nice Work!

Wow! Beyonce of looperman! Very good pop track for sure! This might just be personal preference, I feel like if this was slowed down a bit and it had a bit of eq to add clarity and reverb to add a big lush sound, it would take it that extra step. Regardless, I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Nice take on my vocals! Yea you can upload to youtube non-profit.

It's actually not bad! I think a future bass drop would fit in real good.

Solid modern sound man! Clean vocals, snappy drums and a killa groove!

I'm loving the sound, reminds me of the kind of music I grew up listening to. As far as eq goes, in my opinion the 3 best things to remember are;

1. Not to overcrowd a frequency range with too may signals e.g. A bass guitar and a mid bass synth would clash because they'd both have a signal between 100Hz and 300Hz (which creates a muddy sound).

2. NEVER mix a signal alone because it might sound good solo, but horrible with other elements in the mix.

3. Get familiar with Mid/Side eq. It can create a huge amount of space while still keeping the core sound.

Obviously there's WAY more to the art of eq, but these are the 3 points I wish I knew years ago.

Hope this helps anyone reading.

Damn! I would love to be able to make proper cinematic pieces. Have you been producing this kind of music long? It all merges together really well. The second half really paints a picture!
