Idea for trap beat, unmixed so may sound shit. Need opinion to see if I should continue making it. cheers
Another unfinished trap beat idea, mixed slightly but not finished by any means. Opinions on melodies, etc, any improvements would be appreciated. https://soundcloud.com/user-932614577/trap-idea-rough-not-finished/s-xkYoy
@ScaredForLife I would listen to a song with such a beat and melody
second one sounds pretty good also
but i rarely listen to trap music so I can't give you anything constructive
@Banjod Do you have any experience with mixing 808s and kicks together? I'm trying to give my drums a bit more kick. Cheers man.
Looking at this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ficloZ-fjO8
I don't really make music with kicks in it
what exactly do you mean give them more kick?
To give it more of a punch
So, you mix 808s together, with a standard kick sample.
However, as they are very close in terms of sharing the same frequencies, they can get muddy when mixed
well, the key about kicks is the rest of the music around them
kicks are usually perceived to be a way
even when they're not
so it's more about mixing the music around it
the more bass you have
the less of a kick you should have
or boominess of it
