[TheSilentKiller]

you mix yourself?

[ace23]

Why you always asking about mixing? Of course I mix myself and yes I know it's not a radio sound. It's not meant to be. I've mixed shit for other people to achieve that sound but it's not what I want my shit to sound like. Get your hating ass on.

After all these years I'd what? Mix something like this (I mixed this)?

Mixing is an art form. My shit sounds how I want it to sound. Keep hating from a distance and let the artists do what they do. ****ing clown

What's the issue I wanna know

[TheSilentKiller]

What's the issue I wanna know
number 1 is that the vocals are way too quiet, especially when the piano comes in, you can barely hear the vocals for several words at that point

number 2 is that the sound quality of the vocals doesn't quite mesh with the sound quality of the instrumental. are you using audacity or something like that?

[TheSilentKiller]

on the positive side you wrote well for the beat and had a really nice flow

[ace23]

Both of those gripes are mixing-related, and I addressed that. Appreciate the compliments though.

I'm not using Audacity. What DAW do you use? Where are your bars? Link me.

being able to hear vocals is kinda important

im not tryna make you cookiecutter the shit either bc you're right about mixing being an artform that everyone should try to cater to them personally - just one thing i think everybody should do is make sure the vocals are clean (yours are) and that you can hear them easily

Do you make music? I want to hear it.

[~primetime~]

This is the first time I have listened to anything you have posted in here.

Not what I was expecting at all...

You're from Houston...was expecting some trill shit

[TheSilentKiller]

nah i used to, just an interested party now :dancin

[kNIOKAS]

Good beat but shit lyrics. No creativity, repeating trash words like "bitches" "Hoes":hammerhead:

^^ He's correct on both points. Piano needs to be a little less loud, little less sharp. Vocals need to sound smoother. Sounds rough.

Like the song though.

FYI I have zero music background other than being a dedicated The Voice fan for years. Just my opinion.

Cool thanks bump

[ROCSteady]

They should use this track on an episode of Louie. Maybe one where he interacts with a black guy

[DeuceWallaces]

That's pretty good, but your mix does have room for improvement. Your delivery is nice but your vocals get off-rhythm a couple times when you syncopate against the drum/piano track.

[stalkerforlife]

:rockon: :party: :hammertime:

Cool link your shit

[Cali Syndicate]

It's got a Devin the dude type of sound and flow

[DonDadda59]

You ever work with any established/well known artists? Randomly saw an article earlier today where some kid I went to HS with dropped his first album and one of the tracks (with Freeway) was named a Top 10 Best Song of the Week (#4) (http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/04/10-best-songs-of-the-week-prince-lil-b).

It should be noted that the writer of the article went to my school too, they were in the same grade if I'm remembering correctly.

Lol.

You didn't even listen to the track, did you?

This guy can't even construct a proper song, let alone mix a single verse, and you think he's got industry connects?

Depressing freestyles over limp and hollow repetitive instrumental loops, only fellow rappers like this kind of stuff, I swear.

You must be spamming all over the place to generate all of those plays, because there is ZERO listener retention when it comes to boring music like yours.

One click, maybe twenty seconds of skimming and the X has been pressed.


But you are going to sit back and celebrate like thousands of people are out there really jamming this trash lol.

Funny.

Don't post uninspired and lackluster material and get angry when the responses are negative.

Nah not really. That dude probably paid hundreds for that verse btw lol

[DonDadda59]

Freeway is a professional rapper, makes sense he would want to get paid to rap. :confusedshrug:

And looking over his album track lists, looks like he also has Kurupt and Freddie Gibbs on. Gotta spend money to make money. Gotta respect that hustle. Never really liked that kid though.

Where'd it get him though? Track on USA Today with Freeway is at 150 plays. Lol it's whatever man

Personally I don't give a shit. Played football with him in HS, didn't really follow his life after that. Just randomly stumbled on that list.

But people can ask the same question about you. I don't know what his record sales look like, but at least he's working with the likes of Freeway and Freddie Gibbs. Bonafide, accomplished professional rappers think enough of him and his ability to collaborate with him, paid or not.

Have you even completed an actual album yet? :confusedshrug:

[ROCSteady]

ace, do you have full tracks?

Ace, why do you have to be so salty to constructive criticisms? I've told you once before & I'll tell you again, stfu & add flavors to your "tracks", man. It's so vanilla, dry, ugh.... I'm not clicking any of your shit again.

Underground type of beats doesn't sell. Learn & adapt. What the f* is the point of this?

[KiiiiNG]

Ace23, the black guy with the huge nostrils, spittin' hot doo-doo from his trachea. Wacker than shit of course. Literally didn't understand a word you said.

:lol

I'm kidding. It's good for a regular Joe, or an average D'Mario like yourself. Keep us updated rockstar.

[Im Still Ballin]

Don't worry bro I know how you can make it big

Try the vanilla trap distortion beat mumbling style

It's a hit these days with the youngsters!

All it took was one semipoorly mixed song for Nico and Vinz to go from their bedrooms in Oslo to Villa's in LA

Those guys were aiming for the pop charts and understoodd how to arrange complete songs.

Uninteresting soundcloud rappers freestyling over terrible production is not the same thing.

The only person to blow up on soundcloud was Fetty Wap and he was crafting catchy music, not embarrassing struggle flows.

Glad you feel that way man lol. Remember to spread that soundcloud link.


Have you even completed an actual album yet? :confusedshrug:

Not really a goal of mine. At least not until the fanbase grows a lot. Even then idk if I'd wanna do it.


ace, do you have full tracks?
Guess not
