Iron live review notes:
these were my live notes I took whilst listening to the beats, they show some of my thinking. Considering doing a video/audio real-time vote, you'll see it's a lot more ruthless
@Producingfire beat 1 - cool piano opening. cool beat, balances need work. good base could be mixed well. Nice string addition halfway through
@Dodgy John beat 2 - nice cool lofi textures, cool sample nice scratch switchup
@Leopard Cohen beat 3 - sailing weird ass sample, beat interesting, in two minds the perc
@CatfishHead beat 4 - cool sample, funk, would sound dope with vocals - hard to tell, but it's feeling very just 'looped a sample' so hard to vote for beatmaking skills alone
@crog85 beat 5 - degraded sample intro cool, didn't expect trap, cool, mix could be better bring the sample up maybe, bass and drums down. cool tho
@MaRRLLy beat 6 - cool melody, mix balance making things seemed muffled, push those non bass elements up. cool beat otherwise
@2GooD Productions beat 7 - straight into things, sounds like good volume. Kick is too low needs to come a whole lot forward; assuming this is 2Good - the AI vocals, strangely sound like a lot of other ai vocals ive heard harmonically and lyrically.
@allagory beat 8 - nice piano parts, cool drum pattern - drums sounds real cheap like default drum kit circa 2005; in this kind of beat you need every element to be on point, need better drum kit/vst/etc, this could work really good then
@BiggChev beat 9 - cool vibe, maybe be less shy with the 'ooo's. cool sample, undecided on the added elements sounded like it was gonna switch to another song or section, in an overlap way, but didn't
@Armani beat 10 - pretty decent initial thoughts, loud, good balances; mix recommendation is everything is too forward, the panned guitar, and some other elements could have sat a bit deeper in the mix; the epiano maybe would have been better centred, feels a bit lopsided as is/
@attila beat 11 - interesting beat, very unpredictable, but likeable, i maybe would have like bigger fatter drums especially kick on this to really work with the aesthetic - definitely gotta be atilla
@ydproductions beat 12 - nice strings on what's otherwise pretty standard trap style beat, maybe too much distortion on the kick/bass, tho i like it, something needed to tie it all together, maybe distort lower
@P.A.T. beat 13 - cool catchy, beat sounds a bit distant, dunno if your EQ or compression/limiting causing this, get the mix/master right this is nice. potentially could just remaster this
@Wax Camp beat 14 - nice vibes, quite flat and steady, needs more energy and movement in the mix
@SJAMBOK BEATS beat 15 - really cool sounding beat, nice atmosphere and vocal, drums sound phasey af tho and eiotyher need better samples or revise what processing youre doing to them
