Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: Working On Music Daily vs. When You're Inspired

For me at least, because I'm so inexperienced I view being in the DAW as studying. sometimes I open and nothing happens and that's okay but now with the forum here I can at least try new techniques and see what they sound like and how to do them. That's how I figured out parallel compression and stuff like that. So forcing yourself to dedicate time is more important I guess. if you don't make music you at least better be learning something new. So I try and work on music very often even if nothing fruitful happens in terms of an actual song as long as I learn something.

Is true, messing around and learning in your DAW of choice is great to improve your skills, but the feeling of inspiration every once in a while should motivate you enough to using those skills and applying them in the area of inspiration you're feeling at that time, through the music.

I got into deadmau5 like the other guy on this thread, sry forgot his name, but from deadmau5 I got into actual production with FL, later on a few years later, saw above & beyonds set at ultra, fell in love with Ilan bluestones spheres, then got hooked on anjunabeats. Going now for that style mixed with a kind of porter Robinson/ worlds-esque style. :)

Awesome thats coming along nicely dude.

Yeah is good, i'd say do something with the snare, maybe a small reverb for it or a delay of some type to give it some prominence in the track, cuz a lot of tracks of this style (porter robinson-esque) have a lot of noticeable percussion and drum elements with a lot of character.

Like i said, its coming along nicely, awesome can't wait to hear the final product :)

Yeah having a combo of the supersaws, white noise, and also a lead ish sound to glue the white noise and the supersaws together, could sound really good.

Sound Design / Metallic Sounds

Yello.

Just been wondering, some recent songs, a lot prevelant in some trap tracks is something like a Metallic-ish sounding lead, very cool sounding.

A track reference would be Rattlesnake by Rogue.

Just wondering yeah, how would one go about creating a sound like this, I mean is it a technique relatable to many synthesizers, or somewhat exclusive to a few synths?

Looking to see how to apply these techniques in both leads and ambient pads and such.
---Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks!
