Listening as I type
Rock Ballad Backing Track in E Minor
Strings are too loud. Some dynamic swells using these would go a long way towards making the song more interesting. The breakdown at 1:39 doesn't really work with fake drums, because they have no dynamic tension at all. It's a good place for a breakdown, but the drums...
Clean Rock Backing Track E Minor
This is a pretty interesting song. I like it. At 1:13 the song sort of loses energy with the drums going from 8th notes to a sparse quarter note feel. Lol @ 1:56. I feel like you sort of copped out by not finding a way to get back to the first part again.
Eb Minor Classic Metal Backing Track
I like the guitar and bass tones here. I think this riff would work better with a half time feel than a four-on-the-floor thing, but I like soundgarden too much. Okay, stop with the drums. Any time you program a drum fill in - I am looking at you, ride bell - it reminds me that fake drums are fake. Best of them all so far. I like it.
Heavy Metal Backing Track in A Minor
Yep, that's metal. Cool intro guitar tone. The drum sounds are awful.
E Phrygian Dominant and A Minor Backing Track
Most cohesive song so far, and the drums are mostly not ruining it. Great guitar tone here.
Oh wait, here come the drum fills. What is that, a splash cymbal? Criminy.
Metal Backing Track
It's pretty much Metallica, except with batshit crazy programmed drums. Toss up as to whether Lars is an improvement.
Groovy Jam Track In E Pentatonic
Suddenly a wild song appears! Give it a vocal already. This is a pretty solid rock song. The synth was a good call here. Sounds good. Good guitar tones all around. Stop with the drum fills. If you just program simple beats it can work, the cymbals sound okay.
Amon Amarth Style Backing Track in B Minor 100 BPM
Really cool delay work going on at 2:26, I like it.
D Minor Rock Ballad Backing Track 6/8 80 BPM
Not really much to see here. Guitar synth?
Punk Rock Backing Track in F# Pentatonic 180 BPM
Nailed the guitar tone. The fake drums don't ruin it. Cool riff at chorus. lol @ random hihat choke.
So here's my take. You have talent for the guitar. It seems like maybe you are a guitar instructor who makes backing tracks for his students to practice against? Why make us guess?
I say slow down and put 100 percent into something and then post it here. There's tantalizing glimpses of great songs throughout the tunes on your YT page, but none of them are really ready yet.
The drums you are using - and in particular how you are programming those drums - make it very difficult to listen to your music. You should sort that out.
I would really like to hear something that represents a real effort on your part.
