What’s good everyone?
I’ve just finished a rough version of my first boom bap beat and just wanted some feedback? I made this chill beat with the main intention for artists to create their own melodies and freestyle over, this is why it’s made up of guitar chords, bass and drums.
Listening to it now theres a few things I’m unsure on, the first being the audio loop transitions, I don’t think they sound that smooth, the second being the drum sounds, I just grabbed a random kit online and went with it, the small drum fills at 10 and 40 seconds in, are they too choppy? And the last thing being the mix, I have no idea how to mix so I went off what I thought sounded best by ear.
This is just the first 17 bars, but I feel like I’ve listened to it so many times to the point where I’m finding all these different faults so any comments, pointers or pieces of advice in terms of sounds, musical ideas or the full mix they would be greatly appreciated!
Do you think an artist would actually be able to rap over it is the main thing though?
Thanks!
