New beat "Meh-ness" Feed return 100%

[CharlieTooHuman]

It's been awhile since I posted on here lol... Anyway, here's a track I threw together a few weeks ago. Still needs some work on the mixing side of things, but I'm enjoying the dynamics so far. I used a lot of clicking pens, vinyl crackle, crumpled paper and wheels of toy cars to make this beat so it is safe to say that I had fun making this one. Let me know what you all think and be as honest as possible.


sample used: Cocteau Twins - Lazy Calm - YouTube

I'll return feeback 100% full and will really listen to your music.

I like this beat. It sounds like something I would expect from Flying Lotus which is a good thing. That's cool how you used all those random sounds to make this beat so you get some cool points for creativity. Also good job on getting those recorded sounds to sound so clean in the mix too. The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way were the kicks. They sounded kinda distorted, but that could just be my headphones.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

I definitely agree, though I'm not getting any distortion with my headphones... but it could be that the bass is a bit overwhelming at moments when in unison with the kicks. I'll need to rework the sidechain and see if I can reduce distortion on your side. Thanks for the feed! I just left some on your track.

good beat. only thing that I don't like is bassline, I don't know just not working for me, but the rest is great. maybe try different kick.

i like the intro, i understand its at the beginning stage. keep grinding it out, this one may lead to another one thats better.

this is awesome, nice job.

i really like the intro and the drop, had me head bopping. the vocal sample works great, really chill

as for mixing i think the hats / tambourine / whatever sound that is need EQing/turning down a little, though you said it's rough so that's cool.

check me out if you got a minute: https://www.futureproducers.com/for...her-using-mostly-field-recordings-sad-469153/

Lots of great suggestions and feedback! Thanks!

This beat is pretty dope. It's cool and creative that you used those objects to make this track. I do feel that either the bassline is kind of overpowering or the kick is too muddled. Anyways great production!

Thanks for the feed!

Agreed, I do feel like the bassline may be the culprit for drowning out those kicks.

 

[mmc7]

[CharlieTooHuman]

Thanks Dazs!

I'll check your track later today when I have some headphones with me

I gotta say...your rough mix is smoother than my masters!

I really dig this, no s*** It's always a pleasure to come across something through this forum that has some boldness, that uses a combination of original sounds and judicious samples. To me, this is the joy of how democratic technology has made music-making.

I would be interested to hear the finished mix - I would like to hear the snare.rim/clap on the downbeat further up in the mix - that's where the head nod is for me. I like the way the 2nd bass synth "chases" the first - gives the whole a sort of loopiness.

Definitely got something going on here, keep it up,please.
