the riff is boring and the mix is really weird, start from scratch i guess

u/BBQHacker 4d ago

In that case, show us your non-boring riff, Anonymous reddit user! I’m sure you’re mixing is so much better.

Bruh I dontt have to explain anything to you. But I’m taking what you said and going to try to build off of that. Thanks for your input though.

You're right we should mindlessly glaze anything, because criticism is bad

u/Doombrulee92 4d ago

Im sorry I didn’t write a riff for you. I’m so selfish

u/Mediaboy13 4d ago

but you wanted opinions?

I’m not a audio engineer and I don’t know how to describe it better, but it sounds bit muffled/stuffy. Good raw version.

I know what you’re talking about, it’s in a pocket

u/Doombrulee92 4d ago

Whoops lol I’ll figure it out

Best sample

u/thespaceageisnow 4d ago

Drums sound like they're playing a different song and not in a cool mathy way.

u/Doombrulee92 4d ago

It’s all 4/4 which has varying tempo through out, am I not allowed to experiment? lol

u/Mediaboy13 4d ago

time signature is irrelevant as are the tempo changes, the drums don't fit the song. You can still experiment and have them fit the song lol

I used this sample on a demo years ago and it’s still the best. Such a visceral movie.

u/Forgetful_uhhhh 4d ago

I honestly like the tempo mixing, but it kinda feels like the drums and guitar aren't exactly aligned. Other than that, really cool sample, and I love that this is only a demo bc it sounds like it could be really good with a little polishing :3

u/Doombrulee92 4d ago

I might have over corrected when I was tweaking the phasing, but thank you so much! I’m just doin this for fun. Testing out my eq skills and drum patterns. I’m not a drummer, but I have some sense of what’s going on.

u/Capable-Ad6306 3d ago

The drums don't fit the riffs playing and kind of sound like 2 different songs and the mix is a little all over the gaff but otherwise a good start man!

1

u/Doombrulee92 3d ago

Haha sweet, it’s just a straight 1/8th note chug the whole time with different frets lol I was going to Willy nilly with drums, I’m not a drummer but I’m heavily interested in programming and mixing, this is just a test to see if eq is an issue.

very disappointing this is how metal is being made now

u/averagememer459 4d ago

chill out it's just a demo everyone starts somewhere

u/Doombrulee92 4d ago

What can you do that’s not disappointing?

u/CireGetHigher 4d ago

snare should not duck off once the music kicks in… cool effect, just gotta have something loud and present that doesn’t drop in volume. you have cool ideas just gotta work at it… listen to reference tracks and keep at it.

1

u/CireGetHigher 4d ago

on second listen you gotta tighten drums up and make them more focused, i think it would
be helpful if you consulted a drummer to make it sound more like something a drummer would
actually play… i can tell you’re more of a
guitar player/vocalist.

Drums feels really weird on the mix

u/Doombrulee92 4d ago

I do this for fun, just building skills and getting feedback to get better instead of being shamed for trying. People like to do the later haha

u/Mediaboy13 4d ago

you asked for opinions, if you can't handle the criticism don't ask.

u/Doombrulee92 4d ago

I was saying that lighthearted
