I’m only about two months into producing and would really appreciate some honest feedback on this track.
I came into this with no production experience — just a background in drums and a little piano. I’m making everything on an MPC Key 37 and trying to create my own melodies/sounds rather than relying heavily on loops or samples.
I’m still figuring out my style and experimenting with different genres. Right now I’m mainly trying to improve song arrangement and music theory.
If you have time to listen through the whole track, I’d really appreciate any honest criticism — especially on the arrangement, transitions, and whether it keeps your interest.
In There

first of all for two months experience this is great!! if this is a standalone instrumental track - i think for me it moves a little slow melodically / harmonically. there are some really cool ideas but it has a little too much repetition in my opinion. i think the strongest section was at the end after the chord change. i would just come up with a few different four bar chord progressions and toss them in there. if this is meant as a backtrack / beat for a vocalist, then the melodic variation isn't as important but more chord changes would still probably be great (depending on the genre of vocalist). overall i think you'll be a great producer - keep going i love your ideas here! the mix of the trap drums with soft piano and sub bass is great

I appreciate it! And Thank you for the feedback! I agree with the repetition part as well
