I liked it man, the intro (well it was only a couple seconds) was good, and then the beat kicks in. Sounds like a beat that someone could rap over it about political stuff (or maybe that's just me?). I enjoyed this beat, sorry that i cant give good feedback but for me it's just hard to feedback on something that I have no experience in.

the intro was actually the first 8 bars... and thanks for the feed, even if u dont know much about producing, you could still tell me whether you enjoyed it or you didn't or whether you were able to freestyle to it or not (and you did that, so thanks man)

it was preety good...
i loved the gutiar parts...
the melody was preety good
But I think you should have added a harder kicking bass...
if this beat had a really hard bass it would sound a whole lot better

i really liked this man. the intro was great, especially when it gets kind of silent with just the melody playing and that guitar thing. the drum melody is sick, and the hihats work really well with this. for some reason, i could imagine someone rapping about politics too :confusion:
didn't like the heavy guitar tho, just didn't sound right overtop of the melody, and violins. :y:

I like the intro. I also like how the beat comes in really hard and kinda softens up a lil bit until a few seconds later when another effect comes in.

It's something I could see myself rapping an emotional piece over. I like (what I'm assuming to be) the chorus. Brings you back into the beat because I was getting bored with it until it kicked in. Not as repetitive as some of your other instrumentals, so good job on that.

Overall I like it a lot man. It's not perfect only because during the verses around what would be the 12th-16th bar it gets boring, but like I said the chorus brings me back into it. Good job.

I tested it and rapped some old shit of mine over it and it sounds fine with vocals. I wouldn't go changing too much because then you'll just have shit in there that no one will notice because the voice is over it.

The idea behind the beat was good, think you could've had some low pitched brass instrumennts during the verse, at least the second half of it. Didn't feel the guitar went with the song, would sound better if you created a melody for it on the chorus all the way through instead of at the beginning. Alos, thought bass was a little low and the chorus melody at the beginning of it didnt cu it for me, but the strings you used were great, made me think of some political stuff

This was pretty boring, nothing I'd like to hear on a good track. There's nothing wrong with it besides the fact that its boring. Plus this sounds a lot like your previous beats.

I like the violin and piano melody's. the drums were good just not thumping enough imo. maybe by layering it the drums will pump up. the guitar was cool but maybe a little bit misplaced.... bottom line, eventhough you got allot going on it feels kinda empty and thin. try EQing the sounds a bit, give it a little bit of warmth and thickness cause it will add to the final mix.

just my two cents

oh I forgot to feed this :sweating:

I liked the intro, it's quite nice :y: probably my favorite part of the beat... the rest is cool too... one thing I noticed is when the hook starts, there's like a short melody that is really loud compared to the rest of the instruments, you might wanna adjust that... other than that I don't really have any criticism... maybe the drums could hit a little harder... and like xray said, it sounds similar to your previous beats, nothing wrong with that, but you might wanna switch it up a little in your future beats :happy:

anyways, nice work, it was pretty cool :y:
