Grizzy Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Just tell me what you think it needs. Music and Music Theory are not my strong points… so all opinions are welcome. ;) Also this is my first attempt at mixing trap/rap, mehhh.Edit: Tell me if this is better than the others and on the right track....[https://soundcloud.com/michael-cameron-vandergriff/the-minish-trap-preview-forward-to-151-in-to-hear-drop](https://soundcloud.com/michael-cameron-vandergriff/the-minish-trap-preview-forward-to-151-in-to-hear-drop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtaker26 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Played the first one, the beginning of the song made my ears bleed with it's obnoxious frequency. Then it got to the rap, and my ears continued to bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xelander Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I actually listen to all possible genres, including electronic, and some rap.They're soooo poorly synced, really, it's just a mashup of lyrics on a bad beat, they don't compel each other. I recommend you scratch the idea and just get a more ordinary beat, don't try to stand on your hands in the middle of the crowd if your arms can't handle it, just go with it, make a normal damn ass beat or melody, and work from there. I've been there as well, where you really want to just create something wonderful, but it ain't happening unless you know your ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzy Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 What would you describe as a normal beat?… and yeah, lol. I know I'm not to good. Learning as I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xelander Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If you want to keep on with the rap, you should go on youtube, look up popular rap songs, I recommend Eminem, since it's usually a bit faster beats, easier to work with, copy them, try some slower ones, copy them, just copy a lot of things you find, it will help you with rhythm, feeling, experience, and understanding of it.

Erikai Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The begining of the first song would attack anyone's ears if they are a frequent listener to this type of music or not, and after the beat had dropped it was like it wasn't the same song anymore.The second song was out of sync, and way too busy. Your first few songs should start off simple. You should have maybe no more than three instruments/effects.The third started off okay, but you should learn to turn some instruments/effects down or you will overwhelm your listeners. The melody was in the same volume as the beat, and when the new sound came in at 0:42 it sounded very rough. Most of it is just rough.Before you go into dubstep type things, you should make things with regular sounding instruments first. Listen to [different types of scales](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_%28music%29#Types_of_scale), when you hear a scale you like, use only those notes that make that particular scale until you become experienced enough to use accidentals. If you want a Blues sounding song, try a Hexatonic Scale. When it sound good as "live" music, then you can add alittle wub wub.As for your beats, you should try learning [Drum Rudiments](http://www.freedrumlessons.com/drum-lessons/drum-rudiments.php) first and how to properly count a beat so your songs won't become out of sync.A few tastefully done remakes that don't hurt:1.) [[X]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SlRiNAsUEs)2.) [[X]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUGzY-ihqWc)3.) [[X] I lied, this one might hurt.. Start with a low volume. The build up and base drops are awesome.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awaz1aNTNL8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzy Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks I just saw this… Well I tried something more simple and I've been trying to learn more about massive as well. I think mabe the 808s I used might be too busy like you said but this is a little better imo.I'll also add a link at the top.[https://soundcloud.com/michael-cameron-vandergriff/the-minish-trap-preview-forward-to-151-in-to-hear-drop](https://soundcloud.com/michael-cameron-vandergriff/the-minish-trap-preview-forward-to-151-in-to-hear-drop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikai Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 This is much better on the ears. Now you just have to apply harmonies and find sets of effects/instruments that compliment each other. That will come with experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
