I'm trying to make those hard trap beats that make you wanna turn up but i always fail. I like making different types of trap beats and once i lay down the piano or the first instrument, i get stuck and the song always end up sounding lame. Here's what i made

every time i try making something. it will sound good at first but once im done or get halfway through, i say to myself this crap sucks and finish it and never really listen to it again. The beat you guys heard from me is one of my newer ones too. So what can I do do get that dirty south, trap feel?

Appreciate bruh. It might be because I heard it 300 times already. I checked out your sound-click and the beat is real nice and even more dope that you played the instruments live. That is mad crazy. Good work man.
 
I think in you're in the right direction. You clearly know what you're going for. The best advice I have is to keep learning/trying to break down beats that you like in terms of what elements they have, don't have. Classify elements by hi/low end and think about how to recreate that sound. You're already making what I would consider trap beats just keep trying to add more elements and experiment with different sounds without getting too busy/overpowering. Nice work.

your in the right direction fasho melody is tight it just need some arrangement try adding some pads, plucks leads to make it sound fuller
since your doin trap beats, most important part of your beat is the bassline, download a free trap drum kit there are like 1000 trap kits over the internet and they have the same sounds so it shouldnt be difficult and the have nice 808 samples

as i said, practice makes perfect, so with enough time you wont get stuck, keep it up bruh!!!
check me out i just uploaded a trap beat on souncloud let me know if this is that turn up sound you like;)

Your on the right direction like said above but you could add little more to it . Add orch hit , brass , fast hi hats , crash cymbal . Rolling snare ect . Layer your instruments to to get the fuller sound like stack up 2 to 5 instruments to a melody will help alot to . Then just play around and cut some instrument at some part and add more at some other spots . That pretty much how trap is made . You can add some choir or what ever that come in mind to.

Hope it help .
