Don't know exactly what genre this is, but I like how it turned out.

Any thoughts or suggestions for future tracks?

WIPs / future something
« on: May 18, 2016, 04:43:01 am »
thoughts?

i know the little bridge is oddly loud, this wasn't intentional. it needs mixing, mastering, some small changes, etc.

hope you like it:)

WIPs / Chill Out Track
« on: February 22, 2016, 04:13:59 pm »
Thoughts on this? I've never really gone this direction with music before. Way more relaxed than usual.

WIPs / I know everyone hates bass house but...
« on: February 20, 2016, 11:35:23 pm »
So i started this Trap/bass house track last night and i'm wondering if i should keep going with it? I know it needs mastering and a batter kick and stuff like that. Looking for honest feedback!

WIPs / progressive track so far: "Remember"
« on: February 03, 2016, 12:24:23 am »
Is there to much going on here? Should I make the melody a little more defined or leave it kind of blended in with the chords?


Thanks!

Sound Design / How could I recreate this atmospheric arp?
« on: January 09, 2016, 11:40:15 pm »
Anyone know how to make a similar sounding atmospheric arp to these 2 songs:

throughout the beginning of Icarus by Madeon


About 11 secounds in Infinitum by Ninth Parallel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3M_1o0XZhU

I have tried countless methods but nothing I try sounds quite like these 2 songs.

(Note, i am not trying to rip off Ninth Parallel and Madeon, I just want to know how they did it)

Thanks!

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Inspirational Videos
« on: January 08, 2016, 07:46:21 pm »
I thought I would start a topic that could serve as a place to post videos that inspire you to work hard and achieve your goals.

https://youtu.be/z_ESakf05PQ?t=1m

(relevance to this topic ends at about 3:00 btw)

This is a short video by Casey Neistat (who if you don't watch regularly, I HIGHLY recommend you do so.) I thought I would share this, it is super inspiring when applied to my specific goals, hope it can do the same for you.

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Defeating Writer's Block: The age old Dilemma.
« on: January 08, 2016, 04:09:32 am »
I often come across writers block after I finish a song or project that I have been working on exclusively for a long time. I usually try and take a 2-3 day break from production to listen to new music and get the creative juices flowing. I also find it helpful try to leave my house, if I can, and interact with people I like being around.

What keeps your ideas fresh?

WIPs / Nu Disco (I think) | Needs vocals
« on: January 08, 2016, 12:24:33 am »
For the most part this is finished, needs some polishing and rearranging. I am currently looking for a vocalist, if anyone has any interest or knows anyone willing to collaborate.

Also, is the piano solo at the end very realistic?

Be honest, I would appreciate constructive criticism.

Sound Design / Vocal pitching in logic?
« on: January 07, 2016, 09:32:09 pm »
I can't find a decent audio pitching VST that doesn't cost a ton of money. All the built in units in Logic are horrible. Any suggestions?

Finished Tracks / Dreamcatcher Remix | Progressive House
« on: January 06, 2016, 10:20:31 pm »
Here is a remix of Sokko & Lyons and Focus Fire - Dreamcatcher Feat. Dan Henig.
Hope you enjoy. I'm really proud of the chords and melody. Don't hesitate to be honest.


Thanks! ;D

WIPs / Smoke Filled Room Remix | Future Bass/trap?
« on: January 06, 2016, 08:49:44 pm »
Here is my remix of Mako - Smoke Filled Room. What does everyone think of this? Just an idea so far, needs mixing and mastering. Don't be afraid to be honest (but not rude please ;D)

Also, does the vocal fit with the remix? I cant tell if its in key with the track or not for some reason.

Thanks!;D
