Modobass 60s P-Bass
Trupianos (Alternative free option can be Kontakt's House Pianos)
SSDSampler 5 drums (free version)
Spitfire LABS Electric Piano
OTT Compressor
and lastly I used samples from FL Studio to make the beat
another one cuz I didn't like this one too much 😭😭
• Another Ayase/YOASOBI ...

pretty good for a first song actually...

[@wasntme987]

honestly this sounds very very nice for a first song. maybe EQ the sounds you like a bit (boosting what you like and damping everything else, so that the other instruments can hit those frequencies better). This should act as a way to make the nice parts even nicer. A lil reverb on guitar 2 (during bars 13-17) might also add some texture. Anyway, pleas only follow these tipps, if you're actually willing to. At the end it's still all about what YOU like to produce and hear. Kepp it up! (o

[@raikawa1189]

@@wasntme987 Thank you!!! I think this advice is very helpful to me I will use these tips in my next song😎

[@Nova-v2s]

The composition is not only captivating but also showcases a high level of musicality that is rare for a first release, it's clear how much passion you put into this! i am no expert but remember: Don’t limit yourself to one style; exploring different genres can inspire creativity and innovation.... Also analyze songs you admire to understand their structure, arrangement, and dynamics. I can't wait to hear more from you! And i hope you remember your first subcribers because i am now the 10 and im sure your gonna have way more from now own! Dont give up, stay determined and follow your dreams one day youll get there! (Ps: Yasobi is a good inspiration to follow but like you said it migth take a while so don't get discouraged)

Well done mate, really cool 👍 One thing Ayase really likes to use is a 0 release piano. You can try it by simply reducing the release value of your piano synth to the minimum :). Keep up the great work 👍👍

The middle part was very nice, for a new producer that's really good, the first "drop/chorus" part felt like the sounds very crashing against each other pretty harshly, so defently getting to fix that could make this sound very good

@@raikawa1189 their song "The Writhing South" in particular sounds similar to this song. I think it's the chord progression during the chorus that does it.

[@sakuara_ara]

Sounds nice for a first song! You might need to adjust your chord progression a bit though. YOASOBI loves the Royal Road chord progression, and they use it a lot in their songs. Try this chord progression out: B > Db > Bbm > Ebm > Abm > Bb > Ebm > Db.

[@S7GDsMusics-hh3zn]

Nice remix!

[@K0nMusic]

dang bro, this is prolly one of the best first songs I've seen/heard I think one of the main problems that I have with it right now is the chorus sounding very messy. I think you could probably fix that by playing with the panning of the guitar and piano. I think the guitar and piano both being chords also makes it very crowded, it could be fixed by making one of the 2 be more note oriented rather than chord oriented as a countermelody to the already existing melody or just removing one of the 2 (if this problem is already fixed by the panning then don't change anything). You should also try not to overcomplicate the chords, less notes is more notes in a lot of cases. And as another person said, eq'ing some instruments could also help a lot, especially the guitar. I hope this was helpful :) And you don't have to change your sound too much if you like it as is, every producer has their own style.

[@raikawa1189]

yeahhh I didn't know how to pan at the time so I searched some vids and with ppl panning the stuff it sounded so good. Thank you for the advice tho!👍

[@Grims-Arc]

This is good as an attempt ngl. I suggest you learn how EQ a bit better so that those instruments don't sound like they're competing in the same frequencies. Do some volume adjusting as well. And as for the rest, practice as much as you can.

[@xzzart]

nice job!

[@payiyu6159]

wow, you already have a style, just practice more with mixing and that's it. you're really good LOL

[@AlphaLynx_RL]

Love everything, except for the guitar. Maybe turn down the distortion a little bit. Otherwise, this is a great song! Couldn't do this when I first started out

[@atboogies]

i think you were pretty on with the piano but i think you should check how much yoasobi uses guitars, at least from what i remember they pick a piano most their song and will mostly do their melodies and rhythms with em cool song tho, it did sound pretty yoasobi

Little tip from a former yoasobi style attempting person: Try to make the piano stand out more than other instruments since that’s the core of yoasobi. Also some OTT plugin wouldn’t hurt to make it sound more like it’s playing on some radio. Don’t take this serious though. Follow your style. Im definitely not professional enough to give genuine advice ;) Other than that I don’t really see anything wrong with this. Keep improving. You have mad talent :D

[@MrAflac_1]

Really good for first song, though this sounds more like a loop than an actual song, which this would be a good loop after it’s mixed and eq and everything. But I recommend to change the chord progression in the verse, or make the same chord progression hold out longer, since you have the first 2 chords on the first beat and the “&” of 2, change it so the chord change is on the “&” of 3, which gives the verse little more room to breathe. The melody is amazing, not too much and not too little, perfect for this genre. And lastly the bass, this just requires you to learn more about the instrument and theory, but it should be moving a lot more, instead of octaves the whole, put a fill in there every 4 measures. And if you know Racing in the Night, the bass in the verse is everywhere while being rhythmic at the same time.

[@raikawa1189]

Right after I posted this vid I actually thought that the Bass sounded so one dimensional lol. I also did just start learning chords so ye this helps thank u🫡
