My subhuman ass failed to find a "We Are the World" instrumental or karaoke version that doesn't have backing vocals and isn't just the original song with the vocals filtered out. So, I downloaded MIDI files and tried to make the instrumental with default GarageBand instruments JFL.

Give feedback.

Sounds good. I hope the lyrics won't be too autistic.

The main melody (with the trumpet or whatever the fuck was that) is too quient
Instruments used sound like from a 2004 mexican party mix
The bass is too strong (but I have bass heavy earphones, so maybe its because of that - but still I feel so. In other songs of this type it doesent sound so strong) - making it sound like some rap beat
The guitar is too quiet, just cant just use a guitar riff at the volume as everything else
Feels a bit too busy at times

I composed a grand total of 0 notes. I just used MIDI files I found online.

Needs more ear candy
Needs better instrument choices, drums are a little too repetitive sounding

I deleted the GarageBand sound library to make room for porn. I can’t mix the track now 😓

My disk is fucking full (of porn) bro. I don’t even have 1 gig free. I can’t re-download the GarageBand Sound Library, so it’s over for this project. I need the porn!

Pretty spot on. I think you need to look at the kick, it has this thump which like RnB but it's not nice and unlike original. Also snare should be different imo.

Not enough 808s and distortion.
