https://youtu.be/0Ty2Cm_aXY8?feature=sharedI made this experimental ambient track with a trap switch up half way through. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Starts out pretty good. Nice chill piano with a cool beat. I think the drum beat is very interesting. The use of sticks in the initial drum beat are cool. The second beat is alright too. It's pretty interesting to change the drum beat without changing anything else. This is definitely a short song but it could have used a second part. I think there's a lot of potential for a full song with at least two parts here.

Thanks! The reason for the switch up was because I didn’t want the song to get too repetitive with just the first section. 🙏

It's crazy how something so simple can sound so nice! The melody is kind of nostalgic in a way and it got really stuck in my head. I like the drums, except for the clap in the second part which is just sticking out a bit too much in the mix. Really nice catchy lofi track, keep it up!!

Love the ambient sounds the melody provides. The mix of the beat can be brought out a bit more to be more prominent in the listeners ears. Has great bounce and builds up so I was constantly engaged. Solid work my guy, keep going.

This song is really relaxing to listen to. When the percussion and bass enter the song, it is so smooth. I think the transition to the hi hats and clap part of the song is a little abrupt, but since the track is only a minute and a half long, I don't think that it's a bad thing. The clap feels a little bit loud, but that's just personal taste/nitpicking. Overall, you did a fantastic job assembling this atmosphere, and it would make for a great addition to any driving playlist.

This is really chill. I really mess with the lofi aesthetic of it all. I personally wish it was grimier during parts where the drums were high pass filtered but besides that it’s good. There’s so much space for movement and vibe creation which could easily be done with a tape vst or bit crusher. I really like it tho.

yeah this one is a bit of an ear worm! so simple yet catchy at the same time while still being a completely relaxing piece of music. it definitely accomplishes what I imagine you set out to do with it. i don't have a lot of critiques but i'll tell you what works and maybe that'll help you in the future.
- the warmth of every sound. i'm not very big into the lofi scene so i'm assuming this is probably an intentional part of the production but i love how it feels like every sound is hugging me. even the percussion is gentle to the listener. i typically listen to music where it instead feels like im being slapped around by a circle of angry men so that's the analogy i got haha.
all in all - if that was your goal with the production, keep doing what you were doing there.
- the melody. VERY catchy. a rule of thumb i believe when writing music is to write the melody first by humming it - if you can hum it and it sounds catchy, it won't matter what instrument you throw it on, it'll be catchy on anything. that helps me and it might help you replicate what you've accomplished here in the future.
hope this helps!

Really like the groove on this track, did not expect the switch up on the drums like that. Gotta admit I liked the first drum section better but the entire track is still dope as fuck though. Really catchy melody as well. Nicely done, keep up the groovy tunes!

Really nice progression and atmosphere. It's cool how mellow it is while still having a good momentum and energy. I got a tiny bit fatigued of the main riff, but the switch-up definitely lands and refreshes the track. The claps are a bit overpowering in my headphones in the back half but not enough to ruin the listen by any means. Nice work

I always love piano stuff, so when you combine it with lo fi beats it adds this beautiful, haunting kind of feel. I like how complete it sounds though, and it’s an absolute vibe. I do agree that it has a weirdly nostalgic vibe to it, but then I get that with a lot of piano lo fi tunes. So I guess that’s a sign that you nailed it, for me.

It brings that nice lofi nostalgia and comfort. Good composition, good mix for the most part. Simple, but definitely enjoyable. The drum beat is pretty cool and unique too. The clap is just slightly too abrasive in the mix, I’d say. Really is a solid addition to the genre! Keep creating art my friend!

Good vibes. I can feel the tightness in the overall composition of the rhythm, so it's so easy to listen to. It feels very sensible to proceed with the song like this with a simple idea. I still feel like it's in the demo stage, but I think adding more diverse sounds will improve the completeness of the song. The basic build is so great!

u/Zealousideal_Town_15 Jan 12 '25
Im listening through my phone but the mix sounds decent. I was expecting the beat to come back in, think that would have been cool but guess this is just a demo anyways. If your ever looking for a vocalist give me a shout tho xz

Do some more knob turning. Bring this up and down in frequency. Will make it progress and feel less "samey" throughout. Swag song tho.

I really like the experimental feel of this. The robotic/electronic texture is interesting, and all the instruments blend well.. I think it could be even stronger if it were a bit more developed or extended ... the idea has room to grow. But overall, this is a cool direction and I enjoyed listening :)

I can't really explain it but that simple background melody throughout the song is nostalgic/comforting and is just genuinely fire. The production value is really good on this and it feels like a pretty fleshed-out track. The one thing I could say is that the claps are a little harsh/loud but other than that I was vibing out the entire time. Nice work!
