#Y180710FH 90s Hip Hop Instrumental returned
Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2018 4:02 am
Hello there,
So a while ago i saw a listing that got my eye. It was the one below. I produced an old school instrumental for that one,
tried to give it a fresh and groovy vibe with an overall positive atmosphere and some melody changes as well. I got this in return:
"Hi Kai,
Thanks for your submissions.
I love the sound of your drums.
However, I feel that this isn't quite as "melodically and rhythmically engaging" as their references. In order to get closer, try giving more movement to your bass line a la their Bruno Mars reference."
I really don't want to bash other artist, but i have checked a few other forwarded submissions (also for the first listing, this was posted the second time, because they haven't found the right sound first).
And i really don't get why my instrumental is less melodically engaging than other forwarded submissions. I have noticed that some of them have way less melodic parts or even just a 2-3 second loop
for almost 3 minutes straight with rarely any variety in it. So yea, i hate to compare it with others, but this time it just won't go into my head. I submitted another instrumental, too (returned, but don't care)
and for both instrumentals they came with the "a la their Bruno Mars reference..." sentence, although i tried to pay attention to the other references since the Bruno Mars reference doesn't even sound
like a 90s / early 2000's hip hop instrumental to me.
But what ever, would like to hear your opinion on my instrumental: https://soundcloud.com/coldfingazbeats/ ... ght-groove
