New beat that I just finished....
This beat has an ominous feel to it... maybe it's because the news was on in the background..

Tell me what you think...

Just uploaded a new version of the beat to YouTube, so I had to update the link here...

Re: New beat that I just finished....
It sounds good, man. Decent mixing, i couldnt check bass due to my speakers.


I'd say you started out super strong then copy/pasted the rest of the beat. Am I correct?

I'd say your song has a really heartfelt feel to it and you can sense a story in it, but you haven't completed the story. There needs to be at least one break-down that changes the tone of the song for 16 measures so that the story continues and does not just repeat.


Fantastic start. Great job

Any altering I did to it sounded forced or corny, so I took out the drums and a couple instruments in the middle and then had them come back in.

So, you are basically correct. The piano part sounds way different than it did right away. I layered 2 pianos together and some choir ahhs to get what you hear.

Maybe I shouldn't bring in the 2nd piano layer until after 8 or 16 bars/measures and then bring in the second layer?

Thanks for your input!

yeah man try it!! Fade one piano out as the other comes in in some sections and in those sections, pan each different piano to a different speaker. then when both pianos play together, have them re-centered instead of panned! Just an idea that popped in my head! I like your sound!

A basic MIDI keyboard and Digital Audio Workstation. I played the melody on piano first and then recorded it, layered it, added drums, fine tuned the EQs, and changed it about 100 times.

I changed it up a little bit, but probably not what you were hoping for...
