Personally, I think 1:00 is begging for a solid Lo-Fi drum entrance, but it depends on the mood you're going for. If you want to keep it minimalist, more intricate guitar during the chorus would greatly increase interest. It's difficult writing a song for only two instruments and you did a great job. If you want, you can contact me with your email and stems and I'll work with you.
I like the percussion a lot. It's very interesting and you mix up the sounds to keep it fresh. One thing I noticed was that the loop underneath the drums lacked in diversity. I think it would be cool to hear the music develop with the drums. Great track.
Very heavy. The switch at 0:54 was unexpected but very cool. I like the heavy house sound you have. This sounds like it would be perfect for a club. Great track.
I've been making music for about 10 years.

Read, listen to music, and watch videos to understand how instruments are arranged and mixed. Make an effort to follow through on a project to completion. Having ideas is easy, but having the discipline to work on your ideas is difficult. Never be afraid to experiment. You won't progress without trying new things. Above everything, always make music you want to hear. If you enjoy what you create you will find time to improve your sound. Something in this track tells me you will continue to make good tracks if you put in the time.
This is pretty great for a first attempt. There are a lot of cool ideas here. Mixing takes practice and time, just don't get discouraged. Awesome track.
and as far as the sidechain goes, i was a little unsure about it myself. but when i tried a lower ratio with the transient, it didnt sound completely right and it made it sound a little more, empty feeling. the sidechain was and still is a very important element in this track as i wanted to really try to bring emphasis on th ekick, clapsnare, and hihats. after hearing how it turned out, i am very glad that i decided to make it as aggressive as i did :)
thank you for your kind words, and i hope you have a great day :)
Very cool. I like how much is going on. The complexity keeps it interesting. It reminds me of something XXYYXX could make, but this is better. Great track.
This is pretty dissonant. Your chord choices are very unique. The change at 0:54 is very cool. I think some change in the drum pattern would help. The same beat for 2 minutes can get a bit stale. The instrument choice is excellent. Cool song.
I really enjoy the guitar's tone and playing. You do a lot with a few instruments and it sounds pretty good. One suggestion would be to develop the drums beyond being mostly a kick. A simple snare and high hat pattern can really make a good song great. Cool song.
It's put together very well. All the pieces flow into each other nicely. The accidental in the flute lead sounds really cool. The stereo mix is very nice as well. Great track.
The bells and piano work really well together. The change at 1:18 is super cool. Is it in reverse? The high hat is a bit strong in the high frequency, but other than that fantastic track. I really like the smooth trappy sound.
Thanks man. Nah that break is just the piano down 1 octave played at half speed and with a high pass filter. And the beats have an automated filter on them too.
Thanks for the feed back, after working on a tarck for so long U miss some key elements when mastering. I'm gonna fix those hats soon. Thanks again Heath.
Apologies for being unclear. By 'effortless' I meant that you sound smooth and at ease. You don't sound forced. You sound like you're in a conversation and, to me, it works really well with boom bap.
I didn't mean to imply this had no effort. You do great work.
understood! thank you for that.
as i said, either way i perceived it is helpful! which i appreciate
thank you Heath man means a lot, your kind words
much love foreal

thank you Heath! always showin support. much love my man foreal
would love for you to elaborate your comment on the effortless sound
im taking it in two ways , both are helpful and appreciated
maybe im reading it too literal but i would hate to have a plain track.
here im just rapping so i understand if its lackluster and nothing creatively different
regardless, thanks for the kind words Heath

It sounds like it would be perfect as a backing track in a movie or tv show. The ending is really cool. The choir with the violins fit nicely together.
The variations are nice and smooth. The break at 1:30 is very cool. I love the minimal approach. I second the panning, but there isn't anything bad about this track. It's great.
I like the rhythmic use of white noise and static mixed with the drums. I also really like the ending section. It sounds like it would make an awesome swell into something really big. The dissonant outro fits nicely as well. Cool track.
Very nice. The change at 2:37 was nice to hear. One suggestion would be to have a bit more variety. When you use a loop across the entire track it can become stale. You did a great job meshing all of those loops. Cool track.
Yeah, you are right - working with loops only are always a fight with the balance between monotony, complexity, sound quality and genuineness.... I don't like to use loops designed to use together because in vain harmonize, that's only reproducing somebody's musical idea. Sometimes it's inevitable ofcourse (mostly with guitar loops) for a more complex lead melody. I prefer wild and sometimes weird changes and unisonance instead, with less harmonizing or cohesive loops mostly.
This time i don't used this method, because the applied loop's sound quality - both of them sounds excellent i think, and did not find the result boring despite the repeating lead. Actually, i can listen it for hours without that i was bored. :)
Very cool. I like the future bass sound. The synths you used sound great. They compete a bit with the vocals, but it's still great. One other thing is that the volume of the track is quite loud and the compressor is squashing a lot of sound. If this is what Selena usually sounded like I'd definitely listen to her. Great work.
Awesome. I like the digital distortion. It has a very mechanical or industrial sound. The screeching synth is great. The breakdown at the end is fantastic. Great track.
The break at 0:41 is really cool. The variety of bells is really cool. There are some parts where it sounds like the compressor is a bit tight and squashing the volume, but overall it still sounds great. Awesome track.
