New song, thoughts?

[Enderman]

Just testing if it is possible to upload audio files to LTT...

Any thoughts on my music composition? It is still a WIP, and I plan to use this for my 2k subscriber special. Constructive criticism is appreciated! I am far from a professional at this. 

BeatMMM2.MP3

 

P.S. I had to compress it to 64kbps to keep it under 2MB

sounds fine my only criticism is the drum samples, they don't sound good imo.

What software do you use? I'm about to build a new mega-PC that will be my audio workstation. i'm used to Reason, (and Finale for sheet music scoring) and am trying to get better at protools.

I dig the intro. I feel like if you re-arranged the song a bit and hinted at a catchy melody, (like a chorus vs verse vs bridge if you know what those mean in music lingo [i assume yes]) you'd be much more pleased with the overall song.

I agree with the drum samples. they sound a bit out of place.. mostly the high-hat and snare though. for the snare specifically i think a touch of distortion would make it sound punchier (fits the style a bit more), and then adding a splash of reverb and then mixing it to be a bit quieter relative to the rest of the instruments would make it sound much less out of place while still being audible and giving the effect that the snare should give used in this fashion. Hi-hat wise I think I'd shorten the sound to make it a bit more clicky and sharp, and then fade it down in volume just a tad so that you can still hear it and it's effect, but doesn't stick out so much from the rest of the mix.

Oops, after rereading the rest of the post I'm guessing this post is a bit too late and I'm unsure if you are even still interested in tweaking this composition.. grats on your sub special!

Good suggestions Currently I use the really easy Magix Music Maker

Ik its mostly for noobs, but I no longer have my Roland Fantom G6 workstation synthesizer So I have to make do with my computer

 

I have done most of the stuff you suggested, and using EQ and distortion/reverb to make the bass a bit higher frequency and turn down the high drums.

Also I need to find a steady theme throughout, because I find that I add too many different styles to one song

 

I just reached the 2k subs, so I will be making a couple last minute changes and then I will post the final version when it is uploaded

Thanks for all the help!

I have finally uploaded it to youtube, a couple days after reaching 2k subs.

 

 

It is not perfect, but it's the best I could do with the time I had. I will continue trying to improve with the suggestions from @Unclescar

Thanks everybody
