  • To crit harshly, the mastering is not the best. the volume is very low. the kick is very weak. since future bass is just trap with chords, try using a trap snare. oh wait, I think u are using their samples! XD Rides make everything better. Try using them. :D That snare is clipping a lot. Your synths lack distortion. In the drop when the chords and lead breaks, use filler basses, reverb, or FX. Try using an arp in the drop, making sure to sidechain it. Arps really do drown out the drums.

    • "Future Bass is just trap with chords." I dont think I've heard anything this objectively wrong from someone I have this much respect for in years.

    • the mastering is not the best i said. I mean making it not sound like it's made in a cardboard box. It's almost like everything is mono.

  • maybe pitch up the snare a little. :00000

  • re-mixing and re-mastering because fucking booster has different compression and dynamics to pubbed

    • I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices this

  • yeet its fixed

    slight mixing and mastering changes

    volume boost (+5.5 dB)

  • I think it drones on a bit too much, as mentioned before many MANY times. I'd suggest perhaps a key change in the second chorus, and some different chords for a change in the bridge, and/or even the part right after the first chorus. Then, along with some sound fine-tuning and drum sample changes perhaps, you're good to go!

  • You know what would be perfect with this? A piano.

  • >:)

  • I would emphasize on the highs, like most future bass songs. its a bit heavy on low end, in order to balance the rest of the track out. other than that, its rreally good. I couldnt make future bass, so your better than me. But thats the only real problem i see. Tune your mastering so that its more focued on the Highs.

    • Consider these carefully and you get Marble Soda. Put them on autopilot and you get Otter Pop.

    • Hinestly i think this advice leads to really generic future bass. The real problem is that there is little variety in phrasing. Future bass is at its best when it handles phrasing in unexpected ways. What is phrasing, you ask? Its an abstract concept essentially regarding how you craft a musical statement. How does your use of rhythm, harmony, melody, countermelody, and other elements contribute to a musical statement? What are the points of tension and relaxation? Treat it like language.

  • your chords are definitely less cheesy than mine. I have to make dark a$$ future bass just make non-cheesy chords.

    make sure to listen at high volume because audiotool loves fucking compressing everything i make

  • You said to crit harshly, so I will. Let's start with details, then move i to overview. The most prominent synth right at the beginning is really weird. It seems to be going for a halfway point between tonal and atonal, and you seem to be using it as though it were atonal, but the tonality really clashes with that sensibility. By giving this synth more tonal interest or more rhythmic interest, as well as paying more attention to how it meshes with the harmony its laid against...

    • This is all spot on.

    • The track feels like it's so focused on using elements that work that it's forgotten to make a statement with those elements. And as a result, while the end product is cohesive, it isnt particularly interesting.

    • Now onto the general effect of the track. Despite its clean production, the track feels like a better title would be Zedd/Kaskade Knockoff #268940. I feel like I've heard this track hundreds of times before. The elements are done very well, and there are some lovely bits to this track. But I've heard these synths play these chords, following these leading lines with these rhythms, incoroprating these drum patterns using these samples, using this overall structure hundreds of times now.
