I like the sounds here. would benefit if you level out some of the sounds. I understand the loud bangs are supposed to be gun fire and supposed to be louder but they kind of over power in an extreme way. If that is what you want then thats cool too. I like this track. I think it would benefit from a stronger kick too. Maybe something that rings for a little while and has a bassy feel. Only throw it in maybe on every beat one or every other beat one. Something that is very 808 style? good work man.

give those vocals some more expression. This track sounds really good but the vocal performance will need the same kind of attention. I think you are saying some really good stuff in here but the delivery may not be expressing those words as well as it could. Make sure they are on tempo in every part. These are the same kind of issues i work on also. I think the delivery of the vocals is so key. That would make this song top notch! keep up the good work.

really like the sounds in the backing track. You are pushing the genre forward on this one. I like that. The backing track is so well done but the vocals don't fit in sonically with the rest of the track. If the vocals had as much production on them as the backing track this would be even better! Keep it up! I would suggest making the vocals sit in the mix a little better. Maybe EQ them better, sync up the timing with the beat. Spend as much quality time on the vocals as you do on any of the backing track because that is just as important.

hey, i like this track. I haven't heard too many complete songs on here. I am not the most experienced Looperman member. This has a song with a harmonized hook and a good beat. Well done. Its very laid back which is good and bad. Doesn't hit that hard but i think that's the point. everyone on the track is so laid back it almost becomes a fault to the song. But i think that is what you were going for right? Anyway, good job. I like it.

You need to make sure all the beats and samples are playing at the same tempo and arranged in a way that makes sense. I don't know what Mixcraft is. I use Garageband. The best way to understand sequence is to listen to a song that may have inspired this one and then take notes on why that sounds the way that it does. What is happening in the song that makes it so good to your ears and then try to replicate that in your song. I think that will help you understand what to do. I'm not saying to copy I'm saying to learn from that and really dig in to understand how the music works and all the subtle things that really go into it. We are all trying to do that. Doesn't matter what level.

I heard the other track you uploaded right before this one. I don't hear as many sonic key issues in this one. I think the intonation on some of the instruments on this one make it sound a little out of key. That happens sometimes with different effects you layer on top of your sounds. (Happens to me too by the way.) I like the laid back feeling here. Do you work strictly with samples or do you play the instruments? Do you build the beat or use a sampled beat. I think this one is cool.

this is the first track i've hear from you so i can't comment on the progression so far. But I think the mix is pretty good. The distorted guitar sounds like its not in the same key as the synthesizer. And then it has a sample come in that doesn't sound like its in the same key. Its best to make sure all instruments are in the same key. However the kick and the snare sound like they sit well in the mix and the other instrument levels seem to fit well in that framework too. keep it up!

opening guitar sound is a good sound. The bass is very heavy in the mix. its tough to get that right. Maybe some compression or EQ a little better in the mix. The vocals are hard to understand. maybe pronunciation is something to work on. Timing is key too. Make sure the vocals follow the rhythm just like you would with any instrument. Work on hearing what notes you want to sing and hitting the pitch. It may work for you to have a very specific melody to work on. that way you have a road map and foundation to build on. Then try your best to hit those notes. Vocals are very tough to get right. you may also benefit from some vocal exercises on your own that help train your ear and your voice to hit the correct pitch. good luck and keep working.

this would benefit from a hi hat so the listener knows where the beat is. It sounds out of sequence. usually there is some sort of beat indicator running throughout a song so that the listener doesn't have to find the beat. it doesn't have to be that way if you are looking for a specific sound. It doesn't even have to be a hi hat it can be whatever you choose. the kick sounds great. all the samples are fighting each other. I'm only trying to be helpful and not tearing the track apart. I think these comments may help you get to where you want to go. keep it up.

That sticky synth line at the beginning is great. I love those kind of sounds. do you ever post the tempos on the tracks? that would be helpful if i wanted to sample that sound or use a portion of something you have on here. or maybe the key if you want. Sounds cool man.

I like the way this doesn't try to pretend to be too serious. it sounds fun to me. I like the kind of thing happening here. I really like Beck and this reminds me of something similar to that kind of idea. Only more danceable and just fun

I like this track. pretty cool. I like the ideas you are throwing out there. that is to say the political/social ideals inside the lyrics.
