Song Idea, trap...

I rummage around now in different genres and have decided to make a trap song.
Here is a song idea.
I know myself in this genre does not look good. So I added typical features such as snare rolls.

I need criticism :)

Now Trap is my favorite genre. I do know a lot about this. The supersaws sound a bit off tune for a short period of time.

Although I like the 808 and snare roll. I won't get into the pro tips.

I have not used any Supersaws. SoundFonts are the solution :D
What could I do better? How is it with the drop? Any suggestions?

Okay. I'm not getting too technical (unless you want me too :P), but I referred to a saw as the synth you used there.

So the 808s that are inside samples aren't that good on LMMS, so I recommend you find better ones on with various sample sites
Eg: http://www.looperman.com/loops?page=1&k ... d=54&dir=d
The snare is a bit weird, but fits with the track. I would recommend "Calf Reverb" to make the song a little less harsh on the earbuds.

The drop is good. I like the variation. It was quite simple, but still worth listening to.

Overall, a nice track.

Since I am totally inexperienced in this genre, these tips are very helpful to me!
Thank you :)
When do the saw start? I don't know what you mean exactly :D

No problem :)

and the main synth you used would count as a saw.

When do the synth, for that I should use a super saw, start?

No. I'm just saying that was a supersaw. Or just a saw.

Nice.
The boom drum, sounds a bit too soft though.
The snares are unusually cool, but sound a bit too hard and too raw.
Lowing the frequency on the snares and adding some calf reverb as Leche suggested, might help with that.

I like the rising Wooooooooooo sound effect. Very cool.

I would say more, but I think I'll let Leche handle this one, since he is like the Lmms Trap master music maker. ;)
