Reply To: PLAY ME TUNES
HybrisCool tunes! For the first one I’d just say please god don’t name it “funk,” but that’s far beside the point :P.
I really like how this is pretty intricate and the call and response of the hooks. What I’d recommend, is before committing to a hook and then iterating on it, really go through a few possibilities before you decide to run with it. I usually do this with clips mode in Bitwig, I’ll go through like 10 different tune possibilities before deciding to iterate one out. This one is cool, but the main idea is difficult to latch on to, and the intricacy might not prop up a whole tune. The fills and glitches are nice, I think the weakest link is the main mid riff idea. It’s not necessarily the sounds that are the problem, but how they all fit together.
On the second one, this is really bizarre, and I definitely like that about it! I think it might go too long without a sub for the main hook. I also think the “real” snare in there detracts from the weirdness of it, maybe a more clickity clackity or clappy sort of “not real” snare would fit better, as that’s what most of the drums sound like anyhow :). Also I’d really recommend against panning that kick. Good luck with it!
