I started this song, and i really think it's a winner, but i'm not sure which direction to take it. Go Really dark, or make it bold, and triumphant. Or, maybe it should go somewhere else entirely. What do you guys think? Please help.
I would always go bold instead of dark, but thats just me!
Why not do it in movements. Do both.
First of all, this is a really cool snippet. I can totally hear this being a more chill groove. Maybe after the section you posted take out the lead there and play with the bass for a bit. Maybe modify the bass instrument to be a little louder or more harsh and just groove it out. You can play with the drums a little too by cutting out some beats or I like to use the R command to make an echo effect on the snare and hats. I'm really bad at putting into words what I'm hearing in my head... but it sounds cool... haha.
Good luck, dude!

I feel the same way, if you really have no idea, try both, not necessairly in the same song.
You can always make a remix of your own song.

although it doesn't seem like i added that much, i did. mostly eq and harshing the bass up (thanks for that reply 199X).
The one big thing, is the transition. I was trying to make an addition to the song, but i ended up backing myself into a corner with that transition, almost destroying any chance of me getting anything else into the song. At least, that's what i think, but thats why i'm posting this. How am i going to get out of this musical hole? Please help.
