I've watched some of your videos and you should keep doing what you love! I do have to say though, if you're open for constructive feedback.. maybe look into how you implement quantization in your loops. The drums and some other stuff sounds pretty out of tempo in this song and some others as well. And especially with loops, when everything is stacked upon each other this ''out of temponess'' just increases with each layer you put on. I feel it would drastically improve your sound if you figure out how to use quantization, which gets rid of the imperfections in your timing (especially on the drum parts)
Hey thanks for listening and for the feedback. I think I know what you mean. I have been hesitant to use quantization at all because I want to be a human and not a computer. This track in particular gave me some headaches trying to get things lined up. I tend to play just a little before the grid and then it cuts off my first midi notes in the loop and so I either have to try to shift them a little or move the whole loop over a little and it gets messy quick. Maybe quanitzation would be a better solution. I will give it a try thanks!
@@MattyTSounds No problem! And i do understand your point on the whole ''wanting it to feel human'' thing. But.. i hope this is not too harsh, but i don't think your timing is good enough to just wing it. As a drummer myself.. its just hard to listen to this without feeling an almost physical pain at the timing of the drums. Maybe you will realize how far off you are if you take the audio and sync it up to a click track. Having said that, i do think it's something you can get better at with practice and i am only saying this because i think this song (but also some of your other songs) would be so much more enjoyable with good solid timing. Does it have to be perfect? Definitely not. But better than this? I do think that would do wonders for the listening experience. Anyway, it's your music and do what feels good or what you enjoy so don't take this as me telling you off or anything. It's just my honest thoughts. What's most important though: keep enjoying the process and the music that you make
@@Plop-9292 Thank you so much! I really do value the feedback. You are very right. Part of the reason I strayed away from quantization before is that I would try it and then the whole thing would be off. I realize now this means that some of my hits were actually closer to the wrong beat than the right one. Yikes! This happened with two of the notes in tracks I quantized in my new song so I manually nudged them over after quantizing. It also fixed the problem of the first midi note not being included in my loop! Does this sound better to you? Curious any other feedback you may have: ua-cam.com/video/FQ7USJjkcaM/v-deo.html
