A Rock Hop song

Nice premise....bass sounds fine. Guitar tones are good too.

I am not crazy about the drum machine or whatever you are using. The beats and all are fine, just would sound much better with real drums. :)
 
Sounds alright overall...the beats in the first part of the song seemed to be real bassy when I turned my volume up...rattled the speakers, but maybe that's what you're going for. I'm also listening on some small stereo desktop speakers so maybe that's the problem.

The guitar tone/distortion sounds good and fits well in the mix. The lead synth/pad or whatever it is sounds pretty cool too.

hahaha damn. :rolleyes:
Who knows what the hell this song really is.
 
I'm also using a compressor on the guitars. Should I take it off? Should I raise the levels? I'm not completely satisfied with this mix but I can't put my finger on it.
 
Turn up the gits. There's some weird noise. Could be the guitar's dist. when nothing's being played. In which you could gate it. Otherwise if it's something deliberate, remove it.

The noise can be clearly heard around 0:01-0:04.

Remove the verb from the gits. And turn them up. Dry. And crunchy like they are.

The beat needs to be more hip hop. I notice many hip hop beats tend to be something 3 or 4 beat on different kits. Meaning there's a lot of stuff going on. This beat is more more rock with a drum machine. :)

Hope this comes across as helpful and not offensive. :)

Not offended at all. I don't plan on changing the beat cus I hate making hip hop beats enough but like what I said up top^^^. What should I do?
 
I like the consistent guitar tone of this. I assume without the compressor the guitars will be more dynamic and volume more uncontrolled. Which may give less of a hip-hop's mechanical groove like feel.

I'd recommend to leave the compressor on. :)
