Beat This!The next Beat This! Competition is from November 27-28th!
love the intro...hypnotizing, lofi and ambient.
Said it before, but I DO NOT like trap...hence...these drums don't do it for me. That being said the trilly/verbed out clap/snare on the last beat of each phrase is very effective.
that bell/pad that comes in at 0:47 could use some automation to keep it breathing. I hear that later one you drench it with verb which is super cool! the taper of that vern is a bit abrupt. This is purely a stylistic choice, and you made one. No real critique just an opinion.
That Kick only drop around 1:58 could have a bit more decay to build emphasis when the beat comes back in.
The drenched pads in the back half of this track are super lush and gorgeous!
My only dislike is that, anytime you use alberti bases/arpeggios of any kind, you run the risk of being overly repetitive. Otherwise, nice arrangement!

I personally like the vibe and beat flow but the drums are weak on the mix for me. More bang for ya buck on the drums and I’m down, just don’t feel them hitting hard enough. As always, it’s personal preference. Nice work.
