Trying out EMOTIONAL TRAP INSTRUMENTALS

Post by jessecarrigan » Sat Nov 23, 2019 3:28 pm

Giving a go at the emotional trap instrumentals listing. Would love to get your feedback:


EMOTIONAL TRAP INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Music Licensing Company that gets TONS of placements on numerous TV networks!

They’re on the hunt for Down-to-Mid-Tempo Instrumental Cues that have the general style and vibe of (but not limited to) the following references they gave us:

Emotional Trap Instrumental Rap Beat

Emotional Dark Trap Beat

"FN" (Instrumental) by Lil Tjay

Please submit rhythmically and melodically engaging Trap Instrumental Cues with rattling hi-hats, deep 808s, massive sub-bass, and rhythmic snares that are double or triple-time. Adding and subtracting layers of instrumentation as your Cues progress will keep your submissions from sounding too repetitive or linear.

TAXI Tip: Cues with reflective, pensive, and dramatic moods can all work for this request; but please DO NOT submit anything that’s too sad or somber.

I could only listen on the Laptop, so cannot say much about the low end.

One thing that hit me was the missing synchronization of the piano with the drums. I guess you have a 4 bar pattern and in bars 2 and 4, to me, its not synchrone....Easy ti fix I guess......if it was not intended :-)

Best of luck with that submission! :-)

Great observation, Stefan. That needed to be a little more on the beat than it was. Thanks for the listen!

HI Jesse

Liked the track, reminded me of Teardrop by Massive Attack. Quite moody.

I see a comment about the piano which was the only thing I noticed. Trying to get a few Trap and Hp Hop tracks down also just now and the kick and subs is definitely king on this style from what I can see .

Best of luck with it.

Joe
