I think I've realised the problem with my songs

Posted by ARCADEZ0 - 7 days ago


I've realised 3 things are making my songs bad.


1 - I don't do mastering


This wouldn't matter in my older songs (The ones from early 2024, I removed them and I plan on revamping them in the future)

However nowadays my songs have got more complicated to make and I've realised some things are inconsistent ESPECIALLY bass volume, the lower the quieter, I realised this once I actually listened to Buzzer II with headphones, I found out how to fix this issue now, so It shouldn't be a problem in the future


However some other stuff I can't really do much about it as Unbox wasn't made to make professional songs lol, so mastering is not really going to be an easy task


2 - Some of my songs are lazy


This is especially true with some of my songs like Crystal hammer and Velocity, I repeat something to much and it feels boring...

In the case of an abomination like 8-bit panic, I took a bunch of samples and fused them together to try make something original, and that was the worst mistake I've ever made in a song, because I didn't understand the genre enough and combined things that shouldn't go together, I also was messing and with distortion and EQ's, which also played a part in ruining it, so I'll retry the genre in the future and give it justice.


I'll try to add some more variety during my songs, that should help with this problem tbh


3 - Unbox is not a professional DAW


This one is kinda obvious, Unbox is very unheard of... and thats because it's one of the many mods of beepbox (Like jummbox) But unlike them, it has enough features to try and make something good out of it, hopefully I can find a genre that is balanced between easy to make and gives out great results.


As of now, I'll just have to keep using it, I've been using it and earlier mods since 2022 and I know how it works a lot, unless I can get something professional like FL studio or Ableton live, (Garageband is out of the question as I don't have an apple device) I won't bother switching to anything else.

However I will use soundtrap abit for songs that need things like a piano and other orchestral instruments as unbox is horrible at those,


As of now I'll keep using this, hopefully I can use it to it's full potential and make masterpieces in the future!
