Title: Need Feedback- any good?
Post by: FatherOfTheMan Sr101 on June 24, 2017, 09:57:28 PM
I've always loved the sound of old school hip hop... but I can't quite nail the feel

Is this any good? I may try doing some rap/singing over this if it's any good... thanks guys

There is some really fantastic atmosphere in this (not to mention I really dig the track itself); I can hear where you draw a ton of influence from the span of your work throughout the years. Put vocals over it if you feel that's where it should go...personally I'd love to hear something like the strings on Let's Go Away For Awhile (keeping it an instrumental but adding some melodious string elements, if strings aren't an option perhaps some harmonized guitar playing. Just ideas).

This is a fantastic track though, glad to see you evolving your style a bit.

Wow, I just love the vibe of the whole track. It has this 90's feel to it but could also stand well in this era. I'd love to hear some singing over it versus rapping but thats just me haha

I can confirm this will have vocals, singing, and some more instruments like bass :D

That's very cool, Mike. Sultry stuff. I rather like Rab2591's idea of adding strings, but it's your song!

Looking forward to the next stage. :=)
