"Getting Started"


          

Been producing and writing for a while but deciding now to put myself out there and get some constructive criticism. Check out my page, www.betarecords.com/kruelinstinct and let me know what I should work on. Thx

Disclaimer: I say all of this without any hate. So take it for what it is.

To be honest, there are a few problems with your beats. The primary one is that they aren't mixed very well. The drums, in a couple of cases are way too loud in the mix. Also, there's not much bass in all but "Feel Me," and that causes the beats to not "hang together" very well. They lack a certain fullness.

This is a matter of personal taste, admittedly, but I don't care for some of your drum sounds either.

Your chops aren't bad, and while you've got a very clean sound, I might recommend some reverb or something to fill in a few gaps in your sequence. Again, this goes back to making everything hang together.

"Fly" is probably my favorite, even tho pretty much everything negative I said applies to it. I see a lot of potential in it, tho. Interesting sample.

I hope I haven't been too harsh here, and I'm far from being above reproach as a beatmaker either. But you asked for feedback and constructive criticism, and that's what I have to say. Good luck to you.
