The Eternal Optimist 4 Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) From a mix, arrangement or really anything perspective. Very mild explicit language warning (Rap lyrics over guitar, bass, drums, synth) Edited November 28, 2022 by The Eternal Optimist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 2,064 Posted November 28, 2022 Not really my thing, but as you asked this is what occurs to these furry ears. The Vox FX gets old quickly, perhaps a break down without it. The drums are quite repetitive and lack punch on the kick, again a break down and come back with a different drum/HH pattern. You have the makings it just needs a fee tweaks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveT2 50 Posted November 29, 2022 I would drop out some of the these instruments during the vocal part, they would have more impact then when they come back. Drums seem a bit wrong for rap. Too rock style. Need more definition, not exactly sure how to describe it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've only been learning drums a while and definitely need to learn more beats and fills! The VoxFX is something I played with to compensate for singing skill but it does have a downside as you're right it is somewhat in your face Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to learn a few more fills and beats. I chose a 'classic drum machine' on my iPad to plug the drums into but still used a classic rock beat when playing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
