votes & notes:
joa- I like how different this is and the redman verse works well. the snare is kinda quiet and the bass line is a little muddy
trakmake- mix is quiet. I don't love the melody I feel like it needs some synth chords or something stronger musically
Godall- god vibes. trap drums usually aren't my thing but this works I like the chords and melody it's not amazing but it's good
naturelle- nice vibes similar sample selection to mine but you definitely did more. I'd maybe swing the drums more and dirty it up a bit
mzfk- hip-hop vibes. same sample chop again but also a different flip. I think the bass line could be doing more harmonically to really hammer it home
4. dead- nice melodic vibe. I don't know if the tempo works and maybe the hats should be less swung. I'd try a 16th hat pattern instead of 8th notes
1. super sen- yeah this kinda feels like a record. nice mix and lo-fi vibes. the sax works really well with the chords
reef- def sounds like '94-95. the mix is solid lo-fi vibes and the vocals work well. I don't love the way the melody resolves
hugh- sounds like you just took a stock drum machine loop and randomly needle dropped a record. I have no idea what's happening here
elevated- solid vibes melodically. mix is kinda quiet and pretty lo-fi and muffled. the vocals work but I don't love how they're pitched
dino- vibe is kinda dark and slow. I don't really know if the music fits for a snoop/dre west coast verse. drums could be swung more
nbtbl- little quiet. the hat is kinda piercing. nothing bad here just not really grabbing me at all. again drums could use more swing
goodwill- the 808 drums and the processing on the sax aren't really doing anything for me. I like the synths in the background. more of that and less sax
5. mox- dig the vibey vibes. the drums are hitting but too minimal. could use more hats maybe and chill with the extra kicks. nice melody
dheurt- these drums aren't really hitting and the melody is just too repetitive
farmer- way too experimental. the rhythm and melody are basically non existent
bigfam- dig the melody but the drums aren't hitting. needs a looser feel. where's the bass line
3. ill hack- this hits right out the gate. starting with just the acapella is the right move. love the kick. the shaker is a little too panned. perfect melody for camp lo
2. swoop- this is the vibe. the drums, the bounce, the mix. it's all hitting. could hear more melody like the thing at the end
lil p- perhaps a bit too compressed overall just looking at the waveform. I don't love the melody and the bass line is kinda muddy
tough call between #1 and 2. swoop had the vibe but sen's track just sounds really cohesive. also tight between #3 and 4. dead had the melody but again ill hack's entry just sounds more like a record.

aight, could you all drop some hints for your easter eggs?
i think i caught a piano chop on illhack's that was different to rest.. i put a comment there.. don't recognize it though.. anyone?
think Wig's outro might be Phill Collins/ Genesis.. commented there too..
that's about all i have so far..
mine is an chorus sang/vocalised by "a couple of guys" on a track by one of the greats of all time from the same era as the guy my acapella is from..
sounds like it's the same aca huh?
super_sen said:Mine is very obvious and vocal-basedlet me know if you don’t know the song
yup.. got it now.. pitched way down.. well done!..
i'll leave it to be guessed for others

yoww, thanks for the feedback.. i appreciate it..
like i wrote with my post.. i got the bass from sample where it was layered with other sounds..
i'm definitely gonna try and clean it up more coz i'm curious how it would sound .. although i'm not unpleased with how it is now..
i think the placement in the mix helps
i filtered high out of it and eq'd low into it..
anyone else have tips to get it cleaner?
hmmm, snare are coming through everywhere i listen.. did already add 100 and 200 hz to it but that freq wasn't really there.. so it sounds similar to the hats..
normally i would layer the snare but i was too engrossed by the whole live tapping of the drums etc.
you make some valid points.. so thanks for your opinion(s).. i have to say though, sometimes the highly rated tracks don't always have the feels..
that's just mho
yes, onwards and upwards!
pz bro's!
Edit: replaced the file > non entry.. less muddy bass and layered snare with more low..

Was quite clear on the raw flip, but eventually it got a bit lost in the mix. The compressor killed that boomy base...
You can still find that track... Listening to that album is always worth it
jeez.. glad u didn't make it too hard? :lol: .. at 50<>51 seconds right?

Mines is an artist who had a birthday this month that was sampled for an artist who had a birthday last month

joa you nailed it on mine. the phil collins ad lib was spread throughout the beat and I played it at the end. the comment on your mix was based on listening through jbl lsr305's in comparison to the other mixes. of course those frequencies could have just been hiding on my system. my mixes are often dull so take my feedback with a grain of salt. I have no idea what anyone's Easter eggs were. also I thought cascassette's was a non entry

You got it!

Thanks for the detailed feedback!
The quietness puzzles me.. I had the feeling that it is too loud, maybe only that nasty bass which some speakers don't like at all...
If you keep up the feedback, my personal goal should be to make you vote for me once this year

how did i not hear that?..
( i really need that sweatdrop smile emoji here! )The Wig Master said:
cool.. was also an easier guess coz you never made a secret of the fact you are an 80's balad fan.
it's nice to hear something i made is dope.. although, when asking for feedback my first question always is: what can be improved?
i'm glad you added that disclaimer btw..
oh, with all that banter i'm totally forgetting to actually vote.. uhmm-hm..
