Dude on busy works barely knows what he's talking about. The only genre I'd really trust him with is trap

[Chase Perry]

just made a track can anyone give some advice?
clyp.it/moidx5bh
i felt the drums were lacking but i also wanting to take an ambient direction so im not sure about that
and the second part is definitely something i need help on, is it too boring? does the key change seem jarring or ugly?

[Caleb Perry]

I like your track but it does feel a bit bare
maybe add some ambient wind noises or some whispers

here is my clyp

my bad

[Brayden Jenkins]

those drums are way off beat

[Caleb Collins]

i was considering adding wind noises but i thought that it might contradict the theme, you're right about more ambient noises in general though
as for your track im not too familiar with what you're trying to go for but it definitely feels very lo-fi, also it's very samey maybe i'd work as bgm but as a independent track it leaves something to be desired, it feels like something that'd be used to build up hype in a another track

[Brayden Sanchez]

ok cheers, how do you get samples that are just piano on beat? seems very hard with a song like that can anyone give tips?

[Nicholas Turner]

usually when you use daw programs they have some system to let you know when the beat is/various subdivisions
like dark/light boxes on ableton
or the red/grey buttons on fl studio
also just change the sample itself like decrease the tempo or cut it in certain parts
although in jazz syncopation is a thing, just keep that in mind
