Hello,
My name is Alex. I’ve been producing music on and off for the past 10 years, mainly in the genres of Trap, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Pop.
I’m currently stepping into the sync licensing world and doing my best to get accepted into a music library that aligns with my sound.Here is a link to a 5-track submission I put together:
🔗 https://s.disco.ac/dwuxorgnsnmzI would truly appreciate any feedback you’re willing to share. I’m very open to honest, constructive criticism — I’d rather hear the brutal truth than a sweet lie.
Thank you for your time and for listening.
Best regards,
AlexHi Alex, I gave a quick listen. My immediate thought was that the drums were to upfront in the mix. I also thought the music could develop more of the course of each piece. Just my 2 pennies worth. 🙂
Hi Alex,
I agree with Art… I listened to the first track “All or Nothing” and here are my thoughts.
1) The ending part where the high synth comes back in, has the exact same energy as when it first appeared in an earlier section. One golden rule… if there is such a thing with all of this…. is Always Be Building!
There are exceptions, breakdowns, etc, but for this kind of “NFL Sports Music”, it’s a hyped party music feel.
2) I REALLY wanted to hear big staccato brass hits in this! Almost accentuating the rhythmic motif. That would be where I would go with that ending part… for sure!
3) I was listing on my laptop, but really didn’t hear a discernable bass… I’m not really a Trap producer, so if that isn’t appropriate for this genre… ignore my advice. I DID hear a sustained bass tone, but I’m thinking more of a bass married to the kick.
4) I felt as Art said, that the drums were too “up front”, but I really don’t think its an issue with the drums or their volume I think it’s more a general “softness” with the other instruments.
In trailer we are always making sounds that are normally soft, hit and bite harder. I almost think if you can get Jeager or Nucleaus (by Audio Imperia) or some other trailer-oriented orchestral library and use those more “trailer” sounds in place of (or in addition to) the ones you have, you will have more impact with this.
