What’s up everyone, I’m Devante. I’m a producer, artist, and songwriter who’s been making music for a couple of years, primarily in hip-hop and related genres. Lately I’ve become really interested in sync because I love the idea of creating music that helps tell stories in film, TV, games, and commercials. My biggest goal right now is learning how the sync industry actually works. Excited to be here, learn from you all, and see where this journey takes me.

What’s going on class! Today I got a real interesting piece of work I want to share. Recently Glenn and I had a conversation that lead me to change the way I thought about sync. I use to think you had to be good at cinematic and composing and had to create the most complex and detailed track known to humanity. Now after reflecting on our conversation I realized there is so much more to sync, so much variety and different applications. I decided to try my hand and combine orchestral music with hip hop.This is what I created, I would love to hear your guys feedback. Overall I really like this track it short sweet and to the point(unlike this post😅). Few key points I would like feedback on are: The mix: how does the overall mix sound? Is the clarity there? Does it sound muddy? If so what advice would you suggest to help me get this track over the finish line. Next is the 808: I only created one 808 pattern and let the rest of track do the work to create the various. Should I reconsider and possibly add more variation to the 808? The arrangement: I opted in for a different arrangement than your traditional instrumental. It has a short intro that leads to the hook. After it heads to a verse and finishes with the final hook and a sting. From your guy’s experience does this meet the standard for sync? Finally The orchestration: does it sounds too cliché? Should I add extra cc information to further the instrumentation? I made sure to keep this as simple as possible, I have a bad tendency to over produce. I will be posting more music of this variety until I hit my goal of 10 trap orchestral projects. Enjoy. https://s.disco.ac/khlzhifgpcch

Hey all! For the first time ever, I have a child free week while my daughter visits her grandparents in Alabama, so I told @Glenn Macrae I would structure out one song every day until I have to go pick her up! My goal is to have at least a rough instrumental arrangement of a song, plus scratch vocals of lyrics and melody. And to hold myself accountable, I'm posting my creations here at the end of every day. Feel free to leave feedback if you like! But mostly I just need the accountability. 😅 Today I have (surprise) a dark pop song inspired by Tate McRae and Ariana Grande. Only scratch vocals so far and still working on tiny details of the production, but the arrangement is all there! https://s.disco.ac/leronysntnqy

Hi guys, I have decided to doubled down on Cinematic Hip Hop & Trap and believe I am nearly at the place where I can start pitching the first playlist to Libraries etc. I will keep each playlist to 5 tracks broken down into volumes. I need help with the order of the tracks (Which track should I put first etc.). Also, I could do with some feedback on the mix and also if any of tracks fail to meet requirements for pitching. Please let me know your thoughts on anything that I may have missed (Artwork etc..) https://s.disco.ac/ebkppiijldqg Many thanks
