What even is it? Like what is the general design of it??? I know nothing of it & would like to incorporate some of it's style into a more modern scene but without obstructing it's essence, does it just have a high cut filter slapped on everything or?? I'm i'm not mistaken Uppermost used it's style in one of his tracks?

(this is low-life hip-hop if you're unaware of the style)

I want to develop it to a sorts of mix of Drum & Bass with a fusion of Future Bass like this I'll link

Koven - Breathing Me In

This track is mine, I was wondering if I can get ideas on how to improve it, to me it feel like it's too fast, and While I'm at 150bpm, I feel other tracks at this temp are slower and my small snip is too fast paced or is it just me? I'm trying to aim for more of the D&B feel with Future Bass mixed but I don't want to turn down the temp at the same time?

So really basic question but, I'm currently running a mac, and well I have trouble making any kind of sound because a lot of CPU is used with this mac from like 2009, so I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good pc or mac or even specs that would accommodate me as a person who uses up to 5 no more that 7 chords at once and loves to play around with FX and modulation to make my tracks and also I create duplicate of the one chords alone on top of melodies....

I was working with Serum & realized though youtube you could drag samples into the noise oscillator & change the pitch but I couldn't figure out how I could change the pitch without affecting the speed of the sample or the tempo whatever you want to call it, so I was wondering how I could achieve the low then to high pitch voice effect using Serum or other Vst's or Au's. I'll post a track with the effect so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about (it's not the vocoded part btw) it's when it's stuttering for the first link. Also I've been trying to learn how to do this effectively for the longest time now, but failed & I'm getting really annoyed by it =/ cause when I try to remix a song I try to twist it up with vocals but I don't know how...anyways thanx in advance

This one might be a better example for the voice pitch effect I'm trying to explain

So first I'd like to apologize if this is on the wrong thread but I think it on the right one anyways I've been trying to produce a track I'm actually happy with for the past 2 weeks and over & over I write something & I don't like it because when I transfers my Chords or melody to say a synth say Serum or Massive, or Spire they don't sound as eloquent or as nice as they do on piano, now I know that the piano is a completely different thing with harmonics going here & there but it's like I would be designing the sound because I don't like using presets because I don't feel it to be me who did the hard work so then I make my own sound but when I do the sound either because abysmal or not good enough...Am I focusing too much on writing a good song that actually designing? Do I lack knowledge in harmonics? Should I spend not 80 percent of my time on writing? Instead put it in like kicks snares, mixing & sound design? Am I wrong to believe than in order for a good song to be good & a good sound to be produced it has to have a amazing or good music writing? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. :/

Can I get feedback on this track idk if I'm ever going to put it out probably not but I had fun doing it

Can anyone one of you guys give me ideas on how to progress the track & also faults in it? I'm aiming for an Odesza/future bass/Downtemp/Electro Mord fustang chords heavy style I'm not looking to make an obnoxious loud sound or song I kinda am aiming for the Odesza Bloom song style but my own way/style right now to me it's way to boring especially the intro I'm not impressed at all with myself. I want to do more with the vocals like in Odesza's Bloom but I don't know where to go with it, I feel like I have to work with an 808 style bass then focus on the chords then focus on making the vocals trippy will come along, any advice? I kinda know where I want to go but then I don't...any advice would help like, adding chords, melodies, baseline anything, thanks everyone.

Can't get the link to work so I'll just paste the url sorry =((
