Hip Hop dramedy, need your criticism...LAY IT ON ME...

[thebeezmaster2019]

Vowed to use the Taxi forum more for help in shaping my cues/instrumentals...want your opinion. No need to pull punches, to get better at this I need the truth. Here is a hip hop dramedy instrumental that I threw together, I am more interested in what you would change about it then what you would keep:

Hey there! I went to listen to this and the link goes to a homepage for Songtradr. If you can put it somewhere accessible, I'll give it a listen!

Hey Jesse, sorry about that...all thumbs with that site. Try this:

No worries! I'm not a hip-hop dramedy expert but think it's pretty strong - good edit points, nice variation, groove. I'm not *entirely* sure about the sounds used - the strings seemed to not quite fit - but I liked the uniqueness of it and that was a specific part of that listing, if I remember. Others may have more feedback on things that need to be better but I liked it!

Thanks, Jesse...might have to change out those strings, but thanks for the review, much appreciated!

No worries! Maybe a more pizzicato rather than staccato string articulation would work better. Listened to it again and really like the bounce it has overall.

Great ear! I changed to a pizzi string, strengthened the piece, I think...appreciate the advice, you ever need an objective ear let me know. And thanks again!

Super happy to be of help. Good luck with it!
