Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: Defeating Writer's Block: The age old Dilemma.
« on: January 11, 2016, 09:55:42 pm »
I like to try and make a bunch of different ideas and the ones that I like the best I'll work on until they're finished. I'll usually leave my incomplete ideas alone and then revisit them later on.

Sometimes I will compose a section for a song that I'm working on...and I'll like it but it doesn't quite fit so then I re-save the project and split it up into different songs.

Occasionally I will have the majority of a track but it just doesn't seem good enough to release and I'll let it sit for awhile and I'll come back to it and rework it into something else - I've gotten a lot of fresh ideas from this.

I already met one of my goals for the year which was get a track posted by thissongissick

Next goal is have a song hit 100k plays

Get an exclusive release via a large blog (thissongissick, NESTHQ etc.)

Either join a collective or start my own

Collaborate with someone well known

2016 is my year :)

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: How do you get your own style?
« on: January 08, 2016, 07:05:37 pm »
You'll get one eventually...and experimenting with lot of different genres will help you develop your style.

The endgame of this is finding what you're really good at or what makes your tracks different than someone else's and this can be a bunch of different things but if you develop particular production techniques that you like a lot and pair them with how you do drums or use samples then this can make you different.

Using presets is all well and good but you can always take it a step further and resample it or add FX, just keep working!

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: What are the top three tips that you'd give to a producer with less experience?
« on: January 08, 2016, 06:58:26 pm »
1. Be yourself and be the best producer that you can be

- There's nothing wrong with learning from other producers but straight up comparing yourself to already established producers will leave you discouraged

2. Learn what works for YOU

- Your workflow is yours and understanding what type of environment you work well in is important

3. BE ORGANIZED

- Starting out this might not seem like something that you need to do but if you are organized now (with your projects, samples etc.) it will save you so much time during the creative process when you are looking for samples etc. and it's hard to put a value on that

Sound Design / Re: Making Future Bass Sounds like WRLD, Flume, Draper, Kasbo etc

I'm pretty sure that flume uses volumeshaper to get that whoosh type effect. It's one of my favorite plugins!

Sound Design / Re: resampling
« on: January 06, 2016, 03:58:47 pm »
It depends on the sample but I like to bounce audio to a bunch of different octaves, with staccato and several legato one shots (I will warp / stretch it as well as letting it go cleanly). Then I will throw some audio effect racks on there and play with it until I get a sound that I like.
