I've been using splice sounds since it opened and it has been great so far!  The Artist Re-packs really sold me

instead of searching for them online, (which to be honest, defeats the purpose a bit), get a field recorder and do it yourself.  It's way more satisfying and educational.  Will be the best $200 you've spent in a while.

What field recorders do you recommend?  Looking to get one


Can't go wrong with a zoom h4 to start out with

Luckily i have $150 in amazon gift cards.  I know what I'm buying.  Thanks!

Not hanging onto ideas you think are mediocre, learn to enjoy making mediocre ideas and scrapping them, but to do that YOU need to be honest with yourself and don't let lovey-dubby soundcloud comments get to your head. Ideally by not sharing EVERY idea you ever make

Definitely agree with this one. I've started a ton of songs last year and barely finished any or put them out, but that helped me develop tons. I focus on entirely different things in my writing process now than I did before.

Can you expand on what you've been focusing on in the writing process?  I feel kind of haphazard when I write, and just hope something good comes out.

I just select both WAV and MP3 in the render settings on FL Studio. Usually does a good job at it.
At the same time o_O or you mean rendering first wav, then mp3?
FL Studio actually has the ability to render both at the same time, yes.


eternally jealous.  Ableton fam cryin over here :'(

hahaha I like the ralph wiggum lead!  I think that B section of the drop is my favorite, so good!

Only gripe for me is the snare, I think you could have a way beefier and stronger one

i'm working on this dark remix of belispeak by purity ring and i've found that i really have no idea how to make like 'dark' future bass sounds that don't sound dumb and muddy. any tips?

what is 'dark' future bass?  got an example? :)

Great arps :)  Everything sounding super clean; awesome catchy chord progression.  (I think your saws could be slightly more brighter for spine chill effect, but that's just me.  :P)

Agree with all of this ^

Everything musically sounds totally fine, just need to work on mixing a bit!  good job dude

Have any of y'all tried any of Cymatics paid sample/preset packs? I'm always tempted every time I get linked to their stuff

They're definitely quality, just expensive  :-X

Pretty sure the really common one is a Nexus sound too

Here is a future bass track I finished a few months ago with my friend Michael Herrera. This is my favorite and in my opinion the best track i've worked on. Would love to get some honest and harsh feedback.

I think all the sounds and everything are spot on, no issues with the production at all!

I just wish the chords were more jazzy, considering how jazzy and free form the lead is.  And bring out those vocal chops!  they were very much so in the back but vocals are so important!

This one is more geared towards ableton users, I learned it from watching Deadmau5 on Twitch.  It's basically a really simple way to save a sound, midi, and audio while also including the effects chain.

Make a new folder called whatever you want (I like ableton clips) -> drag and drop the midi from the channel you want into the browser, this will create an .alc file which you can then use later to pull into any session you want.  It saves everything tied to that channel including midi and effects chains.  You can also do this with groups, and it will save the group as an ableton .als project

I'd love to hear an octave added to the intro lead once the bass kicks in :)

I also feel like the chords in the drop feel a bit too buried, definitely gives me a Louis The Child - It's Strange vibe.  I'd use that song as a reference!

Hey dude!  I like the vibe you went for in this, was easy to get immersed.

Aside from proper gain staging all around, I think the drop guitar-y lead could stand out more.  There were times where I could hear your drums, but couldn't feel them (2:16 and on especially).

I like this new style he says he's been aiming for.  I feel like the Coming Over (cover?) he did with Kygo was his best song of last year
