Super Secret Song I Need Feedback For

April 23rd, 2014

It’s really great! Extremely well produced! Lyrics are dope as fuck too!

“See i’m not that different, I just know about the time limit.”

I love it, such a cool way to explain that you’re existential/serious about what you do.

The production is dope as well

IMO the vocals could be a little bit louder/more present especially in the hook but its dope overall @Chop

I’d like to see the drums hit harder, the song needs to be real emotional therefore everything needs to have extra power to it. During the verse, about midway through, I’d like to see a new set of drums come in added with the old one to show the buildup. During the breakdown, “What are you afraid of?” I’d rework the drums, maybe add a set of strings to it to make it all dramatic, some Kanye type drums and shit.

All a lot to do but the song’s good, there’s just some things if added could bring it to another level.

@ewokABdevito thanks a lot man! much love

@ThaEQsplanator lmao! But this is a great place to get a lil feedback though before ya drop it in the main section. wish more people would do that. thanks a lot man

@D-shon my dude!

@ChrisLaBella yea ima see how it is turned up. i kinda turned it down cause i was iffy about the singing and let the synth that plays along with it louder. thanks man!

@noterosLittleBrother woooo in-depth! lol i feel what ya sayin. it would be a lot easier if I wasn’t mixing everything myself. i really don’t know how to make drums hit harder without fuckin up the rest of the mix lol. i’ll def. see how it sounds with more drums. there’s strings during the breakdown i’ll have to turn them up a lil louder. thanks man! Gonna work on this when i get home

@Chop Yeah, when I want to make drums hit I usually fuck with any pitch settings I got. I don’t remember what program you got, but for Logic they have add ons and I usally use “Pitch”, “Pitch Shift II”, and “Pitch, (something :/ )”.

@Chop as @noterosLittleBrother suggested tuning the drums can help along with playing with the velocity envelopes so that the hits decay in time with the beat. Also using side-chain compression (putting a compressor on track B that gets triggered by track A) on the baseline and music bed being triggered by the kick drum can help make the track breathe. Another trick is using parallel compression (leaving the drums natural while routing them to a second track and compressing the hell out of the second track) followed by some heavy shelving EQ on the low and high ends and then mixed in with the original raw drums ever so slightly can really make the drums shine.

This suddenly turned into such a technical thread that I love it, it ain’t even my song but fuck it, we need this in Producer Genius

April 24th, 2014

There was a problem with my taxes but as soon as i get that sorted out i’m gonna buy a website make it a domain like TheBeatShop or something like that; and link it to producer genius. It will be solely for people to hone their beat skills in a community of motivated beat makers. There will be some neat innovations like:

the ability to record a screen video of your beat making session so you can tutor in real time, or show someone how to reproduce something you’ve made.

This will link to the second innovation which will be a beat auction which ***Requires the beat to have a recorded video of it being made, so we know its not stolen and the buyer can learn about it.

The idea is to import the producer genius microcommunity over there to discuss these ideas and help with drums, samples, anything.

I would LOVE to see a high profile producer drop an album being made in real time…

then utilize the site as an alternative 2 way gate to RG and social media site.
Ownership of the site will be shared amongst the most active, prolific, users who first helped in the development and maintenance of the site. If it becomes a famous site and generates revenue from ads or the “Auction” a dozen or so people from the community will get their full share.

I like the idea of a community project where everybody prospers. What do you guys think? I will make a real thread about this once I buy the website.

@ThaEQsplanator i was prompted on a whim to reiterate this idea in this thread because of what you said.
