Decent beat fairly decent mix too.

The mix advice I will have is more nuanced stuff.

The guitar sample feels a bit weak, and a little disconnected from the low end. Not sure if you could push some more weight into it to help it connect. Also could be because it had quite a lossy sound to it.

Levels on the low end are fine, sounds are good, wondering if there could be more movement/groove to it has quite a flat feel to it.

Maybe could have grittied the drums up a bit.



Overall, nice beat and a good mix. Good work!

Cool af as per usual

Great groove, got me nodding my head. Love the freestyle sounding vibe.

Personally, I would bring the highs in the beat up a fair bit, would elevate the record. Not sure if it would detract too much from the 2000s 'mixtape' vibe, maybe it can still have the vibe bit still be a bit brighter.
Found some of the adlib panning a bit out of place, didn't really fit for me, or maybe i just didn't 'get it', but i might have tried sitting it back into the mix a bit more or a bit more fixed/gelled

As always, great stuff

Great sample choice and even better chops. Love the groove and flow of this beat. It also looks like you're having fun hitting the pads - definitely comes through in the beat!

@FOMO

The into is really cool - I get some mid 2000s underground hip-hop vibe from it. That 808/Bass is wayyyyy too loud and distorted. Not sure if that was a choice or by product of the mixing. From I can hear with the sample chops, there's some interesting stuff going on, but it's hard to really hear anything over that massive 808.

@WHAT1000

I think you can really bring this beat to life with some mix/fx. Some reverb or delay on the main theme, bring down the kick a bit and layering some other instruments can take a simple melody and really beef it up.

Thanks for the feedback! I kinda had it in the back of my head that the beat was a bit empty while I was making it, but didn't know how to fix it. Thanks for the advice!
