Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: How do you get your own style?

By knowing what they want. Trying, experimenting, etc...
The more you work on tracks, the more you'll want a precise sounding.

Like probably 100% of producers. I liked music, I wanted to try and I stick to making music since.

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: What are the top three tips that you'd give to a producer with less experience?
« on: January 07, 2016, 09:36:31 pm »1: Learn what all the basic filter types and wavforms sound like in combination with each other.Why am i not surprised about the second one ? :p
So many questions I get about sounds end up being the simplest things just because a person didn't experiment enough to know what a square wave sounds like with a bandpass on it.
2: Learn what everything sounds like with distortion.
So many questions I get about sounds end up being the simplest things just because a person didn't experiment enough to know what a square wave sounds like with a bandpass on it that was then distorted.
3: Learn every combination of every setting that makes a super saw.
High pitch spread, low spread, high phase spread, low phase spread, distorted, not distorted, a chord, an octave, an octave and a third. From my own observations, 70% of all sound design is just super saws. Learn that, and you're 70% of the way to learning everything.

Heyo,
So, Guitars are cool, vocals are fine. Kick could use some more high end. Snare is ok.
The Drop part seems to be clipping, make sure to check that. Also, i wouldn't use that kind of snare for progressive house, more like a clap with a tiny bit of reverb.
Nice work, tho.

« on: January 07, 2016, 08:55:25 pm »The phantom power is for a microphone. You should have a red buttons with 48V written below.First, is the phantom power on ?
Second, how many device do you have plugged into your power socket ? (the one from your house) Do you use power strip ?
Third where you at ? (Depending on which country you're in the maximum power can variate. Here, in Belgium, I can have 220V)
Answer and we'll see where it comes from. (Def from you computer, but that means, you've something plugged in and it's too much)
Sorry if I sound like a noob, but what exactly is the phantom power and how can I check if it's on?
I unplug a lot of stuff when it's not in use.. My D-DJSX2 is located right next to my computer. You think that might be giving off some static feedback?
I'm located in Los Angeles, CA. Don't know if that might be a problem.
Thank you for your help bro!
the D-DJSX2 might be the thing giving static feedback. Are they plugged into your computer ?
In Usa, in your socket you only have 110-120V which means, if your computer have a to big power supply, it will cause ground effect or not properly work.

Hey,
Nice work on the leads. I like them. the kick is too weak. try layering a punchier kick to it. To make it slap the entire shit.
I also feel like the claps aren't enough. you'll need a big ass snare.
Sounds good so far, keep it up

« on: January 07, 2016, 07:55:32 pm »I'm not saying that you actually pitch it down, but if you look at a 808 sample you can still that it fades out. the LFO or the enveloppe will allow you to do that.
try using an LFO or an envelloppe to make it pitch down.
how would you normally do that? i feel it loses some power once it goes too low.
What DAW are u using ?

« on: January 07, 2016, 07:38:39 pm »So, let's start this.
First intro, nice progression. I like the voice in the background. Fit to the genre, i guess.
Breaks are actually surprinsigly good. I like the violin, and the piano is very good.
Drop, The kick is good, but it seems like your 808 is a sample. If so, try creating a real sub bass. It will make it more powerfull. The synth/lead is very cool, in both drops. (First and Second)
The main ideas are pretty well executed, most of the track sounds good.
PS : there's a clicky thing at the start of the track. Needs to be removed, if it's not wanted.
right on. i'll try the sub ideathanks

« on: January 07, 2016, 07:04:40 pm »Yep it does.Track link not working...
now it should be
Lower the volume of the drums, it sounds like they're on top of everything. Carefull with the sub, it's a bit too powerfull and there's not enough powerfull element to counter it. For example, at 1:37, the sub need to be more quiet. Because I can hear in my headphones too much of it.
Although, it has some potential, most of sounds are very cool and well used. Sounds chill, and the atmosphere is great.
