This Ain't H00d

By Oso Feo on January 31, 2016 11:59 pm

Ok this is a protest song to what's happening in Mexico. I made this song in a couple of days so please let me know if you hear anything that you don't like. I welcome all kinds of advice, even if it's about something you didn't like in the song.

I really dig the synth that ramps up

Nice groove in the second half. Feels out of sync in the first half, but thematically it says "something isn't right" so I like it

Toms are ringing!! I like the change in hats as the song soes along. But it sounds regid to me. Mess around with velocity and swing to get it a more natural and dynamic feel. That buzzy synth came in just when i wanted so good placement on that. The rising synth sometimes came in too often. Maybe use it a bit more sparingly

I agree with some of those advices. The track would enjoy some slight variations...

Anyway, in spirit, I think UR would be proud of this combat techno

OK I will definitely try to implement these ideas into the song! Thanks for the help!

Haha I'm glad you noticed the out of time synth in the beginning. It definitely was out of time, but I thought I'd keep the rhythm in there just because I really enjoyed that offness in the beginning.
